  • AdiStaempfli Adi Staempfli (@AdiStaempfli) reported from London, England

    I understand it takes time to replace fibre optics. I don‘t understand why @virginmedia sends out messages that are plain wrong. My connection is not working, has not been working ever since Tuesday evening. Is this to avoid having to pay back customers?

  • tufnelljimmy James Anderson 🏛 (@tufnelljimmy) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I’m afraid your service status is wrong. There is a problem and my broadband speed is a fraction of what I pay for.

  • camjwall Cameron (@camjwall) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia No, unsurprisingly almost 48 hours later the issue is resolved. Would have been nice to receive some communication. Can you provide details on compensation arrangements.

  • JKDabrowska Cllr Joanna K Dąbrowska 💙 (@JKDabrowska) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia are now denying knowledge of my complaint last month with poor BB speed and no landline for two years. In fact, Virgin deny any comms with me since 2018!! Hello @Ofcom

  • M0BPQ Steve Bunting (@M0BPQ) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @HavocTechie @virginmedia Thanks. Router has been rebooted and factory reset. I installed a wired Lan in lockdown 1 to solve poor wifi but unplugging that switch and going straight into the router doesn’t work either. Now no service at all. 😩Again.

  • NicholsGillian gillian nichols counselling (@NicholsGillian) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @virginmedia every Friday evening you never fail to disappoint by not working!!!

  • t1m1964 tim (@t1m1964) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Certainly, but I would prefer not to in open messages for obvious reasons. Suffice to say, old, ill, no service, cancelled appointment by text.

  • musofunk Shane Patrick Cullinan (@musofunk) reported from Lambeth, England

    . @virginmedia you need an honest statement about the situation in South London now. For lonely elderly people to lose TV for 2 DAYS is isolating & cruel when it’s possibly the only company they have. Do better. Communicate. Be honest. Get a resolution. #virginmedia #London

  • t1m1964 tim (@t1m1964) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia I need to be able to speak to someone in the uk about an elder vulnerable person who is without service. please advise.

  • owengmusic Eoghan (@owengmusic) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia can you please cancel my order. Your Filipino call centre staff just put me on hold for ages and then hang up on me.

  • casterazucar Caster Azucar (@casterazucar) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia hi team, after the latest router update, none of the devices in the house can hold a consistent signal, constantly getting full signal with an exclamation (!) - any ideas on what's going on?

  • CraigyBEsq Craigy B (@CraigyBEsq) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @Matthew_Wright @virginmedia I also had so many issues with them. And working from hoem could not afford not to have secure internet access guarantted to be avaiable so switched to BT and speed fantastic and no outage once ever sinde

  • Ethanisraelite Ethan Greenwood (@Ethanisraelite) reported from Barnet, England

    @patricksturg @virginmedia This should not be posed a question rather a statement of fact. It is the worst customer service.

  • ReneeDoegar Renee Doegar (Cohn) (@ReneeDoegar) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia wifi down in Brixton (SW2). It says you’re not getting it fixed until tomorrow?! Any chance it will be done sooner than this? It’s a pretty vital resource for many of us right now!

  • NicholsGillian gillian nichols counselling (@NicholsGillian) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @virginmedia Only the tv drops out, same time every Friday about 7pm, no errors are on the website

  • ReneeDoegar Renee Doegar (Cohn) (@ReneeDoegar) reported from Lambeth, England

    @niamhskinner @virginmedia Unfortunately it’s still out in SW2 for me. The time they are suggesting a fix keeps getting later and later. I have no idea how big of an issue it is, but it’s taking a rather long time to repair!

  • matteobuschitta Matteo Buschittari (@matteobuschitta) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia internet not working in clapham common area...tried all the procedures already and none working

  • M0BPQ Steve Bunting (@M0BPQ) reported from Walthamstow, England

    I’ve had awful internet speeds for a couple of weeks from @virginmedia . (<10MB on a 200MB plan) Their call centre has said this is due to an upgrade that will take a week to complete. Which ISP do I move to?

  • howedali VanHowe (@howedali) reported from Lambeth, England

    I am trying working from home however there is no internet service in SW9 0RH from yesterday morning, that’s a shame @virginmedia @Virgin !!!!

  • ReneeDoegar Renee Doegar (Cohn) (@ReneeDoegar) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Yes there’s been an issue logged in SW2 since yesterday morning at 11. Any idea how serious an issue it is?

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • OrangerChloe 🌙 • 𝕮𝖍𝖑𝖔𝖊 • 🌙 (@OrangerChloe) reported

    So frustrated with my @virginmedia broadband, constant internet dropouts, all tests done, have reset multiple times with different customer services who all say they can’t see an issue - sure it’s a hub fault but apparently can’t even request an engineer for another 24 hours 1/2

  • OrangerChloe 🌙 • 𝕮𝖍𝖑𝖔𝖊 • 🌙 (@OrangerChloe) reported

    @virginmedia The issue has been logged but no fix time given just that they couldnt see any issues/errors flagging up & would monitor it. If VM were able to see the issue it would already be in the data, we get about 40% of the speed I pay for, for a couple of seconds then back down to 1mbps

  • amirul_sidek Reese Witherfork (@amirul_sidek) reported

    @virginmedia the wifi is not working for an hour now. I’ve done everything and it says connected but no internet? Can someone help?

  • for502 Chloe DY Yang (@for502) reported

    @VirginMediaIE @virginmedia total outage of the internet for more than a hour now. This is happening in my whole estate in Citywest. Please do something immediately.

  • mwnl allan furness (@mwnl) reported

    @LaikaTone @virginmedia Oh good luck with virgin tone, fantastic WiFi but the worst customer service since we has the misfortune of using walkers windows

  • GHSSR Holly Lincoln (@GHSSR) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I did! I do not expect anything to be done about this as we have two days left with Virgin! I'm just hugely disappointed in the service! Especially within the last 4 weeks. Having to pay such a big final bill leaves a bitter taste when WiFi drops out constantly.

  • domcoop7 Dominic Cooper (@domcoop7) reported

    @Ronsta091 @Ne3Steve I've got Sky fibre and get 160mb. *much* more reliable than Virgin which I switched from and was far more expensive. It depends on area though, as Virgin media is overlaid on to a lot of legacy crap from different predecessor networks Telewest and NTL.

  • N16Breda N16Breda #VaccinesWork (@N16Breda) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia Hi RP - this is just my daily howl of frustration. Over 12 hours now spent on phone & VM Help Forum. Latest resolution date 24/9 😐

  • lotsxxxxxx Lots (@lotsxxxxxx) reported

    @virginmedia I have checked the service status and everything seems okay but our box is staying at red and we’ve turned it on and off but it’s still not working, it’s only suddenly stopped working from 12 so i don’t know what’s happened

  • anne_irfan Anne Irfan (@anne_irfan) reported

    @virginmedia wifi in our street is down AGAIN with no information on your site or app. When will it be back?
