    @virginmedia is there a outage in woolwich Se18 my broadband isn't working and I can't even load up your website to try and get help?

  • GlueWhichBinds
    Mark Kelly (@GlueWhichBinds) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia @Hyperoptic I was with Hyperoptic for 4 years, not a single outage I can recall. Swapped to Virgin Media last autumn because they offered a cheaper and better deal. Had nothing but problems since. And now they have the temerity to hike the bills. When I can swap back to Hyperoptic, I will.

    @virginmedia can you give me a direct number to call to cancel my contract. I've used whataspp / webchat and spoken to two people in last 24 hours - but to no avail.

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia 14 hour wait for a response on your chat bot and I still haven’t passed security. That’s some service

  • RogerHighfield
    Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia, your app does not seem to think there's a problem with the internet in area 21. I think different. Can you check?!

  • SustyPhilC
    Phil ******* (@SustyPhilC) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia any idea what’s going on with the network please? Can you at least make a statement? It’s been down since around 2am or thereabouts!

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia Please as I have been paying for service

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Croxley Green, England

    @virginmedia An engineer came today. Issue resolved. If you remember I told you that it was highly probable that work being performed at a cabinet on our street may have resulted in our issue. I also told your telephone support team. That’s exactly what had happened. Appalling service.

  • gorgeousuk
    anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I did and it said the service was ok. It’s now working after several times of going onto Amazon. I just don’t know why the service has become so poor recently

  • _Lewis_A
    Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from London, England

    So @virginmedia won't let me leave our contract despite their service continually crashing or not providing the speed it promises. Ultrafast broadband but getting nothing or 9mb download. Fed up with it now. Avoid them at all costs. #VirginMediaoutage #broadband

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia DB was dealing with this issue but has not responded since lunchtime Friday

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia The quality of customer service cannot be recommended. The long delays are a constant problem Coming up to 2 hours this morning and no response

  • JackEORobinson
    Jack Robinson (@JackEORobinson) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Hi @virginmedia, are there problems in the SW17 area? Your service status page isn't loading.

  • JessicaCarmodyV
    Jessica Carmody (@JessicaCarmodyV) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia I need to complain about your customer services. I’ve had multiple issues with a new contract I took out 31/01 this year. No manager has contacted me to follow up (after weeks since complaining) & yr customer sales centre is harassing me with calls. Pls contact me.

  • gorgeousuk
    anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia My husband has called because he is the account holder and has a Virgin phone. Virgin apparently will call tonight/tomorrow morning. However, my feeling now is that your service will work for a time and then will go bad, there is a pattern.

  • GeoffRogersEU
    Geoff Rogers (@GeoffRogersEU) reported from Hersham, England

    @virginmedia @FeelitWorking I think the OP is airing his frustration at the fact that he has to ask for discount at the end of the contract. VM does not do this with its business customers (I know as a former very satisfied business customer) so why should it apply to consumers? To be fair, Sky, BT, Talk…

  • MitchM77
    Mitch Manning 💜💙🦁🇺🇦 (@MitchM77) reported from Worcester Park, England

    @neilpr85 @virginmedia Yes, this! Oh and now O2 have told me I might lose signal over 24hrs as they’re doing some works. So no mobile data for me either! I feel like I’ve jumped in a time machine and have gone back to 1990!! 😫

  • TravellingAdam
    travelling Adam (@TravellingAdam) reported from Blackheath, England

    Virgin why do I keep losing my mobile network? @virginmedia (been trying to post this since 11am lol) as I have virgin broadband as well. 😤

  • MiaZagica
    Baltazarka (@MiaZagica) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Never had we have such a terrible Internet service. Absolutely NEVER. "Can't find server.", for whatever page we want, day after day. Then it finds the server; next minute - puff! Gone! Absolutely abysmal.

  • spandya1
    Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Watford District, England

    @virginmedia broadband is up and down again, today in WD17. Are you continuing to experience general service issues ?

    @virginmedia your app and customer service are absolutely dreadful. I only want to change a direct debit date for Christs sake.

    mmhmm (@xhatne) reported

    @Johnty14 @virginmedia Easy solution here, someone should invent a method to get the leaflet through the door, so it ends up in the house, but passers by can't see it so it isn't obvious that nobody is home.

  • sergiopani62
    sergio pani (@sergiopani62) reported

    @virginmedia shocking service provision. internet drop off these last few days. being told to wait 22 hours for an engineer. Like this regularly. Can’t watch a film properly, watch a game or listen to music as all rely on the internet . Change is coming.

  • SuddenLife

    @gloucesterglass @virginmedia Mobile phone signal in Tewkesbury is virtually non existent. I can’t send SMS text inside my home, there no 5G, and I get a weak 4G on Tewkesbury bypass. Fortunately, I have good WiFi, YouFibre 900mb for £24 monthly.
