    @journokeith @virginmedia Good as in they acknowledged your existence was what I meant. That's how their "customer services" is set up, they don't have the staff based in the UK to deal with it and all they can do is what they are doing.

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

    I wonder if anyone has a #skyglass connected to a #virginmedia broadband? At least with #SkyQ your TV service will be unaffected

    Oops! Virgin Media seems to be down in N LDN, or is it just me @virginmedia

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

    Connor Dean (@donnorcean) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia have had intermittent issues for over a month now, every time I go down the route of reporting the issue it just says wait 24 hours. How can I speak to someone about this as the phone number never gets me to a person?

    @virginmedia the tv connection has had a fault since 8th June. You are "working on it", & each day checking status the date to fix is moved further away. You do not refund for lack of service why is that? And text updates are not received. And its STILL not working.

    @themotablogger @virginmedia Terrible in Dagenham too! At least 3 times a day it drops out and normally in the middle of an important meeting! Not good enough!!

    @virginhelp @MistryMistry21 @virginmedia Virgin Media give really poor customer service. I’ve been waiting over 14 hours? It feels like your customer service team is a team of 1

  • seiferxin1
    seiferxin (@seiferxin1) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia really let down by Virgin media. I'm on M200 and am getting 50M at the mo. As low as 0.18M around 7pm and 10M around 8pm. Your customer service chat hasn't responded in 3hrs. I've reset router and changed channels. It's been patchy all week What am I paying for?

    Emma Churcher-Holt (@emmalouchu) reported from Camden Town, England

    @BBCWatchdog I was without TV service with Virgin Media for over a week this month, could only use chat bot, eventually a live chat with a person because I took to twitter, but they couldn't help me either. Still waiting for the comp form they said would come automatically.

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

    @virginmedia Please as I have been paying for service

  • DerrickSWB

    @virginmedia The uplink is failing and it’s being denied access to the network as it’s poking and failing

  • ZJM_331

    @virginmedia your service checker isn’t working. Can you please advise of service issues in the N1 area as the broadband has gone down again? Thank you.

  • beccaleigh99
    Rebecca Gould (@beccaleigh99) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia hello, since you ‘upgraded’ the WiFi in our area - Clerkenwell- the WiFi signal has been terrible. To whom shall I complain? Thanks

  • 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!!

  • nicolas_laborie
    Nicolas Laborie ( He/Him ) (@nicolas_laborie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Still no broadband and now the estimate is over a week !?! Terrible

  • DerrickSWB

    @virginmedia It’s arranged (3rd time) for engineer visit tomorrow 4-7pm…. I just hope they don’t randomly cancel again

    @virginmedia increased bill to £70 but internet service is crap!

    kellyann (@kellyan99166027) reported

    @virginmedia since 1pm yesterday afternoon we have been told that the problem is being fixed. Every time the estimated time comes up you change it again. We have little to no information about what’s happening. Could you please advise on when. It will be corrected ?

  • ScouseRasta
    ScouseRasta (@ScouseRasta) reported

    @virginmedia 3 times in the last 2 days my broadband has been down for, around 5 hours this morning and again for the past hour! Get your **** together before I move to different provider along with a lot of other people. Don’t even offer any compensation for an outage, shocking!

  • sharman_robert
    Rob Sharman ⭐️⭐️ (@sharman_robert) reported

    @virginmedia appalling customer service, you either speak to a bot or a moron on a messaging service…they still haven’t fixed any of my issues I’m done at this point

  • loldiplo
    Diplo (@loldiplo) reported

    . @virginmedia can you explain why your servers are down again. It’s pathetic constantly happening and conveniently falls on a bank holiday weekend so most of your customers will be without service for 2 days. Disgrace of a company.

  • Samina_masood3
    Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for responding - sent a DM with all details about the complete loss of service complaint. It will be hugely appreciated that the issue is resolved immediately & we don’t have to further suffer by poor service your call centres are offering. Thanks

  • TYS20212
    Told You So (@TYS20212) reported

    @Oxford_Life @virginmedia The new tv box is absolutely abysmal, the worst “upgrade” in history. If it wasn’t for lack of high speed broadband alternatives here we would be off like a shot.

  • kevinclarknw
    Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. There are now TWO issues, one of which is not expected to be fixed until Wednesday. Ssevice has been out since Friday.

    @christobinsings @virginmedia 3 hours later no refund cant find someone to cancel absolute joke of a company @virginmedia

  • loldiplo
    Diplo (@loldiplo) reported

    @virginmedia Already got one booked in. I will be complaining however as you already are charging a substantial amount for a service you’re clearly incapable of providing.
