    .@virginmedia hi virgin, we've not had internet all day and absolutely need it for work. Can you give an update for why this is our network status?

  • squeakytoy
    Steven Peterson 🏳️‍🌈 (@squeakytoy) reported from Islington, England

    I called @virginmedia back and they are now saying they won’t be able to install my internet until February 15th, a month after they sent me the modem. They’ve already activated my account and are charging me, but are telling me that shouldn’t have happened and they can’t fix it.

    kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    I've just had to suffer the same 4 songs,1 a poor cover of 'Where my Rosemary goes', on a loop, in 2,45 mins of waiting for @virginmedia to pick up. Within 10 mins of engineer fixing fault, its playing up again. Its also the end of my contract so I want to deal with it.

  • emmalouchu

    @virginmedia Even this link isn't working. Takes me straight to auto bot/live chat messaging service and there is no one actually responding.

  • JeffSalmon
    Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, England

    Cont… @virginhelp @virginmedia What can be so difficult that a COMPETENT team of engineers can’t fix in these days. The fact is we believe that virgin are a team of incompetents and the time has come for us all to leave Virgin. You are a disgrace.

  • elthampalacegay
    royal 🌈 (@elthampalacegay) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I’m going to get disciplined in work as I don’t have internet connection. Who can my employer speak with to confirm this is a virgin issue??

  • Lozraus
    Rex (@Lozraus) reported from London, England

    @_MxMike @virginmedia It’s been down for us since 1am 😫

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

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

  • Lisboadolphin71
    Lusitano71 (@Lisboadolphin71) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia no services for all 5 days now! Your customer care is appalling! And, apparently, nothing is wrong, according to your website. Bad!!

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

    @virginmedia How long is due course? I’ve already spent hours on this issue with no resolution. I started this chat conversation on Wednesday 1st February. Wouldn’t you agree the customer service from Virgin is woeful?

  • islingtonlloyd
    Lloyd Child (@islingtonlloyd) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yes I did. But still no service before I left home. Online service checker just said problems with TV & Broadband in my postcode area. Currently not at home, but will check upon my return.

  • DerrickSWB
    Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England

    @virginmedia Can someone advise how I fix the Wi-Fi pod which isn’t working with my new router - I had to upgrade at extra cost to receive new kit as the lead time was shorter than getting a competitor in #ThisIsWrong

  • Weaverfooty14
    Michael James Weaver (@Weaverfooty14) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia recently joined virgin for broadband and it isn't cheap its amazing when it works but every night recently it has gone down and when you check the app it says engineers are working on resolving an issue is there a update with this please as its so frustrating

  • DerrickSWB
    Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England

    @virginmedia Green up/down arrow flashing and router restarting

  • JeffSalmon
    Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, England

    cont/- Every 2/3 hours you say that it is going to be fixed within three or four hours. It has not. We could not give a **** about £8 compensation per day. You are costing us thousands of pounds in lost revenue for those of us working from home. More @virginhelp @virginmedia

  • goonerlgh
    Lawrence ****** 🇺🇦 (@goonerlgh) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

  • g_neale
    Geoff Neale (@g_neale) reported from Camden Town, England

    @premierinn no Free WiFi or Ultimate WiFi at Premier Inn Euston. Twitter has lots of other complaints of the same issue nationally… why I am asked to speak to Virgin Media, how hard can it be? Forget Network does not force the page to reload, what else can I do?

  • 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?!

  • rhymerrigby
    Rhymer Rigby (@rhymerrigby) reported from London, England

    @scribblercat @virginmedia The frequency of posts like this is why I'll never leave BT. IME, they're reliable and I care about that far more than speed, price, etc.

  • sam_batty
    Sam Batty (@sam_batty) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Just spend over an hour on live chat/phone. Your service means we’ll be nearly two weeks without internet!

    DO NOT JOIN, WORST COMPANY EVER. They have been adding fees onto my account. Simply because ive been paying £29 which is what was stated. But apparently its supposed to be £42 @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Apparently you're still looking into issues in the area... two months on from looking into issues in the area

  • stephenm68
    Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported

    In the meantime the @virginmedia ‘supervisor’ whom I waited 90 mins to talk to on Tues night, & who promised to escalate our outage to engineering so I could have SOME INFORMATION, has of course not been in touch Just like the other supervisor who made the same promise last week

  • ExpectedReds
    matt (@ExpectedReds) reported

    Richard Hughes has been locked out of his Outlook account. The IT guy is on annual leave. Virgin Media have been doing line maintenance near his house. Real world problems and you’re all laughing at him? For shame.
