  • Chihao
    Steve Tran (@Chihao) reported from Hammersmith, England

    Yet again @virginmedia broadband and router is down. So is the website to check it. #useless.

  • markhayo
    MarcHayo (@markhayo) reported from Kensington, England

    Well done to the engineers @virginmedia for sorting out my internet in Earl’s Court (ahead of time as usual). I appreciate that people have genuine problems, but we need to keep a sense of proportion. Especially compared with brave Ukrainians who face far worse troubles than us.

  • DuarteMendonca
    Duarte Mendonça (@DuarteMendonca) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia having massive issues with billing and tried over 5 times to sort this over the phone. Most times someone will hang up and not call back making me have to call again, wait for 30m, tell the whole story again. Need to speak to an actual human at a store. Suggestions?

  • ImaginaryCard
    Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia down yet again. Where's the refund for all the hours lost with no WiFi connection?

  • stephen_09
    Stephen (@stephen_09) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no service in W12. Router has been rebooted but still just flashing green. Been like this on/off for 24 hours.

    @atnori_ @virginmedia Yep, experienced just recently :D I am an extremely patient person… I properly lost it today 🙃 At least the damn thing is cancelled though.

    Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    @AsadMoghal @virginmedia That’s of course if you get a reply from a genuine account . Lots of scammer accounts reply to Vm complaint tweets - because there are so very many online complaints #virginmediadown

  • edward_baran
    Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England

    Once again virgin media down in central London SW5. No television and no broadband #virginmedia #virginmediadown @virginmedia

  • MilesMalaya
    Milesfiles (@MilesMalaya) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia The connection has been terribly weak the past 2 weeks. I keep getting kicked out of video calls. Please could you fix, I need to work.

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @BigupJeff @virginmedia Yeah, unfortunately. We are okay with the service, that’s why we kept it in the new one, but the customer service is a joke. Had @Hyperoptic once, was absolutely brilliant. Too bad it’s rarely available.

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

    @birh_trx @virginmedia Yes it is down

  • barfolo1979
    Bartosz Zakrzewski (@barfolo1979) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia @mrslooker Problem continues at E15 2BT. Any advice??

  • Marshall5Sharon
    shoegal (@Marshall5Sharon) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia It says no problems but believe me… I have no WiFi at all, rebooted and done the usual check

  • Julia___Valerie
    Julia Valerie (@Julia___Valerie) reported from Kensington, England

    @dazzleeds @virginmedia Have exactly the same experience with @virginmedia - customer service does not exist but the charges are taken and increased without fail. For three weeks have been trying to get in touch and get some support with zero result argh 😖🤯😭😭😭😭

  • JakElkes
    Jack Elkes (@JakElkes) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia @YessMarvell @virginmedia also having issues here but your service status page is down....

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia After the two hour chat, it was finally resolved. Wife have arranged an internet connection to our new flat before this(with Virgin btw), took 5 minutes. Lot of hoops to jump through to cancel, when I just wanted to get it over with. No offers, just cancel.

  • hdl_dl
    helena (@hdl_dl) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Hi, still with the problem. Broken and distorted image and audio

  • sayitrightltd
    Priya🦋 (@sayitrightltd) reported from Kensington, England

    Hey @virginmedia ... my WiFi has been down for over an hour now. Unable to WFH without working WiFi. Help.

  • chrisgreen
    Chris Green (@chrisgreen) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia You know full well that a broken drop cable (which you already know is the issue from the last time you unhelpfully responded) won’t be shown on your service status page. For crying out loud! Your cut-and-paste response is both disrespectful and of no use whatsoever! #epicfail

  • persianuk2017
    Hadi Taheri (@persianuk2017) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia i have been loyal customer and i asked if i change my package to phone and broadband as its far more affordable for me seeing the prices. You refused offering me what is on offer i find at absolute ridiculous and unvalued therefore requested cancellation.

    @virginmedia - Anyone able to help with a major issue with your system? Beyond a joke how poor your service has became.

  • jaluch
    Christine💙 (@jaluch) reported

    @virginmedia I am waiting for a phone call from your rep. Will contact you if problem not solved, so far not happy with the response with your service

    Dr A (@thetweetslayer) reported

    03337331234 This is the only number on your website Its been off for more than a week What Virginmedia-esque dystopian crap customer support is this????

  • RobSFowler
    Rob Fowler (@RobSFowler) reported

    @virginmedia this is disgraceful! Look into it and do better, much better. From a customer of yours that is currently considering his options!

  • Samet_UK
    Samet (@Samet_UK) reported

    @virginmedia The Wi-Fi hasn’t been working since 1 a.m. It says there’s an outage in the area, but I can’t reach customer service either. There still haven’t been any further updates. There’s no information about when it will be fixed or what’s going on.

  • LeonFear
    Leon Fear (@LeonFear) reported

    If I paid @virginmedia pro-rata, on the basis they provided a reliable service, my bill would be around £1.50 a month!

  • upmyallie
    allie 💋 (@upmyallie) reported

    virgin media are so ******* ****, sorry but taking 3 days to fix a broadband fault is unacceptable when some people have to work from HOME

  • MichelleBeckett
    Michelle Beckett (@MichelleBeckett) reported

    @virginmedia can you help with this to backdate the date of termination of my father’s broadband contract to the date of his death? As other similar service providers have done without having to be asked?

  • clarewo86
    Clare (@clarewo86) reported

    @virginmedia the problems I’m having with my Internet are crazy there’s not been a day in over a week that it hasn’t gone down and constantly buffered

    @virginmedia why can't you sync your transmission with the terrestrial or Sky service because my neighbour is ruining these games for me. He screams like a banshee on heat 40 seconds "before" we score. #NORENG
