    Please can you advise help for small businesses who have had to close due to #COVIDー19 and can’t afford to keep on paying for broadband @virginmedia.

  • AndyBullyBull Andy Bull (@AndyBullyBull) reported from Poplar, England

    @virginmedia I wouldn’t bother. No one has bothered to explain to my 85 yr old mum why her account has been cancelled and her PAYG balance (~£100) cleared out. No response to our formal complaint and no one willing to discuss. Shameful treatment of vulnerable customer.

  • rjbmus Richard Bristow 👨‍🏫🙋‍♂️ (@rjbmus) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Trying to remote teach when @virginmedia is unreliable and down is really impossible. Quarantine just got worse..!

    @MaggieGee10 @reece_dinsdale @virginmedia I ‘m with Sky too, Maggie. Much better customer service and if you have a problem with your broadband it’s sorted quickly. I left Virgin years ago. It was a wise move.

  • BenPOwen Ben Owen (@BenPOwen) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @TomGeorgeBest @virginmedia I live in South London and this keeps happening to us too. Internet cuts out between 10-11am and then again between 3:30-5 every day. We pay for 50mbps and have internet speeds as slow as 0.9mbps. So frustrating.

  • FeliceDArco FeliceDk (@FeliceDArco) reported from Islington, England

  • ange1pie Anne (@ange1pie) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia For the 3rd day running now my internet connection keeps dropping! Your website says no known issues in the area ( NW2 ). This is getting beyond frustrating 😡#virginmediadown

  • pandsreid Susie20RF (@pandsreid) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia @BBCNews @MartinSLewis terrible terrible service. Student daughter has been on hold for nearly an hour trying to cancel a simple rolling monthly student Internet contract. “I’ll just get my colleague” and “why do you want to cancel” doesn’t cut it. Very very annoyed

  • rchrdctswrth Richard (@rchrdctswrth) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia my router keeps dropping out and rebooting for no good reason for the past 3 hours. My girlfriend (a teacher) and I are both trying to work from home and your service is making it impossible.

  • KateProudman Kat P (@KateProudman) reported from Richmond, England

    “I'm really sorry to hear your business is closing and we really appreciate we are facing some difficult times due to the COVID 19 pandemic. However we will not be able to place your account on hold. your service will continue to run as normal.” Not ok #Virginmedia ! @vmbusiness

  • jojo10rocks Joanna (@jojo10rocks) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia any reason we can’t get hold of your help desk? Have tried repeatedly to log fault with (we presume) our router & your phone help just dumps us out - over 1hr on phone before you disconnected us yesterday alone. Need this for work...

  • JayTheCaptain Jay Blower (@JayTheCaptain) reported

    @virginmedia WTF is going on, the second time I’ve been on hold for over an hour then I’ve been cut off?

  • Covbluenose Mark Galloway (@Covbluenose) reported

  • Jaykespeare88 Jahed Miah (@Jaykespeare88) reported

  • Nukemonk2 Nukemonk. (@Nukemonk2) reported

    @virginmedia hello. are you doing work around the chingford area, north London. There seems to be considerable distruption and many reports of problems.

  • exeus Andy Brick (@exeus) reported

    .@virginmedia people are currently depending on you to help them work remotely, order food, even just stay in touch. A four day issue is just not acceptable and demonstrates a fundamental lack of resilience and redundancy in your network.
