  • richardscovell 🏳️‍🌈 #SociallyDistancingRick 🏳️‍🌈 (@richardscovell) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    3/4 T&Cs: Moving home outside of or within the Virgin Media Network service area “If you move within our service area, we cannot guarantee to provide you services, if we are unable to provide services, then you can cancel and you will not need to pay an early disconnection fee”

  • fabsalva Fabrizio Salvatore (@fabsalva) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia is there a known issue in the BN2 6 area of Brighton with your broadband? Crashed at 14:30 and hub seems to be unable to rejoin the network...

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I thought as much. I have never received such a call before - It is as if they were targeting telephone numbers affected by yesterdays outage.

  • mejones2121 Michael Jones (@mejones2121) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia Absolute rubbish. I pay a premium for super fast broadband and it buffers during Streaming plus I've had no internet or phone line all day YET AGAIN. #internet #broadband #poor service

  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    Hi @virginmedia any news on why our broadband and TV haven't worked since 7pm yesterday in Burgess Hill? No comms and status update just says you are aware with an expected fix moving on in time...

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia @briamjam Here to help??? Is this a joke?

  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia But why do we have to keep looking for information. Is there no way of updating the customer directly, it is appalling customer communication. What is the problem? Why just keep putting estimates? If it isn't going to be fixed for 48 hours tell us.

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Tried it several times - it says there are no issues. Our phone can’t ring out, constant sound of a message being there (intermittent beep) but nothing happens when trying to use it. People can’t hear us when we answer. Bought brand new phones and still the same.

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia no landline for weeks and impossible to report. Sick of your company. Can’t even get through to CANCEL contract £105.75 this month maybe you will get in touch if I cancel next payment 🤬🤬

  • mejones2121 Michael Jones (@mejones2121) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia no internet or phone line yet again. The worst service from a provider I've ever had. #internet #internetshutdown

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia what the hell is wrong with your system. Impossible to report a fault! No contact available just going round in circles. Landline not worked for a week now 🤬 you really are the pits, can’t even cancel this crappy service £109.75 paid this month!!!!

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia @KikeKD 150 NOT WORKING FROM ANY PHONE

  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia This is still appalling customer service. I have to register (I did this when things were down in Dec for almost 72 hours), I have to alert etc you are the service provider. How is it good CS that we assume you are lying in estimates? No compensation for Dec either.

  • richardscovell 🏳️‍🌈 #SociallyDistancingRick 🏳️‍🌈 (@richardscovell) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    1/4 Customer scam alert: When moving and contacting @virginmedia to transfer your services to your new property, if they cannot provide services there they will apply an early disconnection charge which they will state is in accordance with their Legal Stuff, do not accept this.

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Call you...? How do you think I found out about the issues? I wasted hours on the phone calling the numbers you have quoted. Give me strength.

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia That doesn’t help@if I can’t join the forum is it?? How does anyone get through to someone who CAN do something??

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yes, everything seems to be working now. However, I have just received a call from Virgin Media, or someone purporting to be you, telling me that I had poor broadband performance , and I needed to sit in front of my laptop to fix it. I soon hung up, getting the wrong vibes.

  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia Yes it says there is a known fault which has been going on since Friday at 7pm. No further explanation and the estimate fix just keeps resetting. It is absolutely unacceptable.

  • MrBrianRoe Brian Roe (@MrBrianRoe) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia your DNS TTL (a web server change time to live) is probably the worst on earth. My new website works everywhere in the world other than on #virginmedia broadband. You absolutely suck, big time. Crock of shite.

  • AnneWebb777 Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia @fawizium Impossible to contact anyone through phone, absolutely dreadful service as per usual. How do you sleep at night? £105.75 this month 🤬🤬

  • doubltop Doubletop (@doubltop) reported

    @virginmedia My area is part of your home phone switch over. I didn’t have a power outage but if I do when it’s on your super knew switch over it won’t work. And your less than helpful person on the line I informed me it’s my responsibility that any compatible items don’t work. Great!

  • philwoodford philwoodford (@philwoodford) reported

    @virginmedia I am completely fed up of being kicked out of blueyonder email and getting '403 forbidden' messages, even when logged in successfully to My Virgin Media. There is an ongoing problem here. When is it going to be solved? From memory it affects ntlworld users too.

  • AndyScherer8 Andy Scherer (@AndyScherer8) reported

    Seems to be a hell of a lot of complaints to Virgin Media... wonder why and what's going on there? Poor.

  • leanneskt leanne (@leanneskt) reported

    @virginmedia Since Monday, internet service has been intermittent, and now it is completely down again and definitely isn’t ‘even more amazing’ would really appreciate if you advise why this hasn’t been fixed as it is interrupting work so it is not on.

  • m_aggyg Maggy (@m_aggyg) reported

    @virginmedia TV service seems to be down in several Bromley post code areas, status says no problems, please advise

  • jaykayess2503 Janette Sewell (@jaykayess2503) reported

    When the @virginmedia service status says no issues found and a lot of people like me have lost tv in BR postcode 🤬 #Bromley

  • ellaawright ella (@ellaawright) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t access the channels because you miss sold a package to us and now won’t activate the Channels we were promised! I haven’t activated the sim because I have a complaint going through which seems to be taking a long time to resolve

  • TDove79 Teresa dovenor (@TDove79) reported

    @virginmedia It was actually your tech support team that tried contacting me, when I kept saying it was a really bad line, the colleague was quite rude and put phone down so still none the wiser what the problem is......

  • Reihane35505962 Reihaneh (@Reihane35505962) reported

    @virginmedia i am shocked at your level of customer service. You made me retention offer on WhatsApp and did not honour it in a call. Really shocked how you treat a customer of 10+years. As such I will take my money elsewhere!

  • JFLecas_London Jean Francois (@JFLecas_London) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t want to be rude but receiving a pre-scripted reply when I experienced constant disruption of the service is highly unprofessional. You could at least reply to my question! 😡😡😡
