  • NikhilJudge Nikhil Judge (@NikhilJudge) reported from Hounslow, England

    @virginmedia Dont use the virgin router switch off wifi buy another router and use the virgin one as a modem. I did this at another property and its fixed all my issues apart from the dns issue. Thats an issue due to the way the virgin router works

  • arigork Ari Gork (@arigork) reported from Camden Town, England

    @EE Reach the 12th month in April I think. Plan on going into a store to re-negotiate another year but as @virginmedia use your network and if they offer the same services then really comes down to paying less for receiving the same :) no hard feelings 😘

  • theonionlives James Campbell (@theonionlives) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Both still not working before I left for work this morning.

  • NikhilJudge Nikhil Judge (@NikhilJudge) reported from Hounslow, England

    @virginmedia Well we already had an engineer out and even he confirmed its the most problematic router virgin has given out. Especially with the dns issues. We also have 6 people in a 3 story house. We were told adding wifi extenders also cause issues so we cant even get signal now...

  • michaelck1972 Michael (@michaelck1972) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia Guys, the business does the work to retai the customer, not the other way round!

  • Ntsaldaraki Natalie Tsaldarakis (@Ntsaldaraki) reported from Eltham, England

    @virginmedia Of course: since Wednesday night, service is down due to outage and estimated time keeps being pushed forward! First it said 6:35 yesterday, then it was 10pm, then today 9am, then 5pm, then 9pm. Still down! Service completely down SE18 and looks like there’s nothing concrete.

  • amdavies141a Adrian Davies (@amdavies141a) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia After four days waiting for an engineer, at last one attends but still I have no internet access or television, as "the system is down"! I am so looking forward to changing provider, you are utterly useless and unfit for purpose!

  • NikhilJudge Nikhil Judge (@NikhilJudge) reported from Hounslow, England

    @virginmedia Its been 6 months and the solution was to not use the virgin router...thats not a solution

  • laaqpr Lynne Arnett (@laaqpr) reported from Hillingdon, England

    @SpaQPR @virginmedia we’re still waiting for a customer service manager to reply been waiting since 28th February

  • BarryDanser BarryDanser (@BarryDanser) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia broadband really slow and on and off yet your checking service says nothing wrong

  • Lindor1306 Jo Marion Pauline (@Lindor1306) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia are unbelievable. Took a direct debit in error at end of January from my elderly father, promised to pay back in 5 days but didn’t. Then promised 7-10 days but again didn’t. Still no refund and now not even responding to formal complaint. Disgusting!

  • nutr1_train Nutri-Train (@nutr1_train) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia To be honest LC, simply improve the quality of the customer service calls. - Too much noise in the background - No follow through on requests - Not able to find out details yet we’re paying customers. Everything is sorted now, just frustrated

  • johnrahers It's me, John (@johnrahers) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia I’ve no date for new place yet. I’ll be living somewhere very temporary in between. Eek. #help

  • TPAdams Tom Adams (@TPAdams) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @cpu_fox Just to feed in here that we've had intermittent broadband problems in SE13 7 as well for last few days, particularly bad today. Clearly something up. But status on website says "No known issues"

  • BarryDanser BarryDanser (@BarryDanser) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia Useless info link. It's #virginmedia who are bad here not our internal equipment. We know all this but what are you doing about your #badcustomerservice

  • theonionlives James Campbell (@theonionlives) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s still not working!

  • Housewife6 Shaz (@Housewife6) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia Thanks sorted mums out, trying to sort my new packge out but the customer service is appalling and being a longtime customer means nothing at #virginmedia they are unable to offer me anything. Not impressed at all, especially when the whole family is on #virginmobile 😡

  • Tazul2015 Tazul Islam (@Tazul2015) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia any ideas when you are increasing your price next...so I can cancel my contract early

  • ryanpfowler Ryan Fowler (@ryanpfowler) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia poor internet service yet self check says no issues and no online agents available

  • crosswhatfields crosswhatfields (@crosswhatfields) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia your service is shit. Outtages ongoing and no news via text. This afternoon: “everything sorted by 6pm” but nothing sorted. **** your stupid TV, it’s broadband we want. Awful service!

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

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

    @Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Oh, they did let me cancel, but I had to answer about 3 “last question”s before they proceeded 5 minute response time on chat, took me nearly two hours, after the 4 hours it took to connect an agent. We could get a contract with a credit check in 5 minutes.

  • Clairemsings Claire Malone (@Clairemsings) reported

    @virginmedia I want to pay my Dads last bill. When I spoke to a girl in Oct to cancel, I told her his phone/internet had not been working for approx 8 weeks previous to this. She said she would check it out and let me know. I didn’t hear back but just got his bill.

  • iD0RAEM0N alana (@iD0RAEM0N) reported

    @virginmedia yeah it’s down in the whole area nothing i can do but i’m still gonna be upset about it

  • g8bxc_g4ddp Richard (@g8bxc_g4ddp) reported

    @virginmedia No difference and the service status still shows TV issues in the area but not fixed to 29th December which is unacceptable length of faulty service which I pay for

  • ColinGunn1960 Colin Gunn (@ColinGunn1960) reported

    Royally screwed by @virginmedia still. Still no landline reactivated. Still no adaptor, & now they have charged us an activation fee of £35 which was NEVER discussed before the hub 3 was sent! & promised discounts not there. This is diabolical. @skytv here I come. Had enough now.

  • PeterAspinall3 Pete Aspinall (@PeterAspinall3) reported

    @virginmedia whats going on with the broadband in WN3 area? All day ive been without it! It was meant to be fixed by 11am, then 4pm now im told its tomorrow at 11am. Whats the problem?

  • timmow Tim Mower (@timmow) reported

    @virginmedia I tried calling and going through the support script - first they dont understand what packet loss is, then it shows no problems on their end and they tell me to reboot the router. And it doesnt solve the problem

  • g8bxc_g4ddp Richard (@g8bxc_g4ddp) reported

    @virginmedia Can you not see service issues on your own network ???

  • drkcmpbll RUNDMC (@drkcmpbll) reported

    @virginmedia It said there was an issue at 11am. At 4pm said it was fixed. Checked again now and it says there's an issue again being resolved at 12:25am 24/12/22. Can't have no broadband on Christmas Eve, or even worse on Christmas day. Presents depend on broadband.

    @virginmedia I wasted time on WhatsApp service too
