  • Jamesmeredith James Meredith (@Jamesmeredith) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia #internet Virgin internet doesn’t work, tried calling customer service but recorded message tells me they are too busy. Call back later. Very poor service. Can’t wait to change to community fibre!!!! @CommunityFibre

  • pauline21359918 paulina (@pauline21359918) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Despited repeated requests. The whole service has been a catalogue of errors but if you need to complain it’s hard work but if payment wanted there are no problems. NOT HAPPY AND NOW WANT TO CANCEL CONTRACT.

  • pauline21359918 paulina (@pauline21359918) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to someone on the actual day but they were not very helpful. As stated before this cable has never been an issue before. I can only assume that when neighbours were weeding area where my cable runs that may have accidentally lifted it.

  • olgabudimir Olga (@olgabudimir) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @ruskin147 @virginmedia @DianeCoyle1859 My Virginmedia is down too. Can’t even get a service status message and phone line engaged.

  • chadoneit Charlie Done It. (@chadoneit) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia help, your internet has cut out again #unreliable #badservice

  • AsadMoghal Asad Moghal (@AsadMoghal) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia @Big_Stylo Guys, your service page isn’t working. You need to listen to what your users are saying rather than just repeating the same response

  • paulstevenlewis Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia @YessMarvell The service status page is not working... several people have already told you that. The web is awash with reports of people saying VM broadband is down this morning. Only VM seem unaware of it!

  • SarloFabio Fabio Sarlo (@SarloFabio) reported from Ealing, England

    And not working via wired connection either!! 😤😠 @virginmedia please sort this out, trying to work from home!

  • benjp Ben JP (@benjp) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia @Big_Stylo The service page is down as well.

  • simonmoriarty Simon Moriarty (@simonmoriarty) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia down yet again. Working at home for months is bad enough. Not knowing whether I can actually do my job is worse.

  • pauline21359918 paulina (@pauline21359918) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I could have lied and said I had no knowledge of how the cable broke but didn’t. Have been a customer for about 15 years. But have lost confidence in virgin. The bills are never correct to what was actually quoted. Partner who pays bills still can’t get anyone to correct email

  • JamieMoncrieff Jamie Moncrieff (@JamieMoncrieff) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia rubbish customer service virgin media! Please can someone get in contact - WiFi has crashed and your help line is inaccessible. We pay for crazy fast WiFi, installed recently and it’s been useless and is affecting our ability to wfh

  • dietmarlen Dietmar Lenden #FBPE (@dietmarlen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Well surprise surprise. The WiFi is down again. 6 weeks in a row. Call Centre hing yo when passing my call to a manager. Poor service. This is now unacceptable. How do I complain (other than @Ofcom) about this poor service. Why is the service so awful now.

  • londonpommie Paul N (@londonpommie) reported from London, England

    Wake up to another morning of no service from @virginmedia @ThreeUK please get 5G rolled out so I can cancel this awful service.

  • CorpFred Fred D (@CorpFred) reported from Kensington, England

    @birh_trx @virginmedia Yes it is down

  • richardavsmith Richard Smith (@richardavsmith) reported from Lambeth, England

    @chinnyhill10 Virgin Media is down.

  • dietmarlen Dietmar Lenden #FBPE (@dietmarlen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia An engineer will be sent on Saturday. Second one in a week. Trying to use the chat function to load get a complaint and it disconnects. The agents do not seem keen on taking a complaint. I have been happish with tservice for few years now but it has deteriorated in last 6 weeks

  • emhough1 Emily Hough (@emhough1) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia - no internet, service page not working. Not good. Fix this please - struggling to work from home. Time to change provider I think.

  • coxness Chris Cox (@coxness) reported

    @virginmedia No service for 6 hours here in Brighton BN1 3AD. I want to register a loss of service, but the website ‘sorry we cannot do this’ when I try to do that online.

  • wisebynameonly Alex (@wisebynameonly) reported

    @IreadMad @virginmedia Not just me then. Sites down.

  • zuffle Ben (@zuffle) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing, just about another three failed chats with @O2 customer service. Now coming to the end of day five, this is ridiculous.

  • BarbaraMolony Barbara Molony-Oates 💙 She/Her (@BarbaraMolony) reported

    @MerseyBlueBear @virginmedia Yup. Ps @virginmedia look at the photos I posted! I clearly know 1. How to get to your service page and 2. Have proof that it’s not affecting over 25% of people in my area as when she checker works it shows there is no problem

  • jamesnicgillies James Gillies (@jamesnicgillies) reported

    @virginmedia No email service in Edinburgh currently. Virgin website gives no indication when back. Can you help?

  • tmahee Maheedharan Thiagarajan (@tmahee) reported

    @virginmedia It was a scheduled visit to fix a connection after move and the visit was rescheduled.. the cost was mentioned to us after the visit didn’t happen as promised and not during the first calls

  • Rose00313477 Rose (@Rose00313477) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there, I contacted you not long ago over some email account issues. It was fixed temporarily but seems to be playing up again. Cant get in touch on the phone or via WhatsApp so would really appreciate the help. Thanks Emma

  • sabrinacecelia Sabrina (@sabrinacecelia) reported

    @virginmedia can you please explain why the internet cuts out daily in the SW9 area? Would make a fifth call to you, but I don’t have the patience for awful customer service after my work calls have been disrupted yet again.

  • PreetiPhull PreetiPhull (@PreetiPhull) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely ashamed with your service & promises. Haven’t been receiving internet properly, reported the problem 30 days ago & monitored the speeds. You guys said you would disconnect all services without fee if the intermittent broadband continues. @BalBhamber

  • SteveReach steve reach (@SteveReach) reported

    @virginmedia I have no words to describe how poor your service has been if I would I’d warn everyone how bad Virgin customer service service can be
