  • FragileCreature Fragile Creatures (@FragileCreature) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    I've been waiting 2+ hours for a response over WhatsApp from @virginmedia 3 hours since first trying to reach them with Broadband down. Can't work, starting to think they just don't employ any staff. Second time I've had negligent service from them. Looking elsewhere asap.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Official complaint I’m afraid. They said ‘I’ll book an engineer’ I said ‘that was booked for tomorrow but you cancelled it’ She gets aggressive and it’s hard to understand what she’s saying and says ‘do you want an engineer or not.’ Sorry but this is truly shocking service.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Engineer Thursday. Not good enough really, had an engineer Saturday, problem still here if not worse, and being told to WFH due to heat. Cannot not be speeded up?

  • INEya_veganfood RJ Buddha (@INEya_veganfood) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia crisis with 50%+ increase in monthly costs for no reason. No increase in service, no additional benefits - nothing! Then an horrendous contact centre service.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Hi, the interruption is ongoing so I’m guessing we have faulty equipment? When I go onto the website it tells me to ‘reset’ which I do and it works for a while then goes wrong again. Can we sort a new router? Is that the issue?

  • logically_fuzzy Jonathan 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 & 🏳️‍⚧️ ally (he/him) (@logically_fuzzy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @maecoloma8 @virginmedia @richardbranson I've lost a whole day's work, losing a lot of income, any more info on the Brighton outage?

  • INEya_veganfood RJ Buddha (@INEya_veganfood) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @KarenWolman @virginmedia absolutely horrendous customer service.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Hi, we had an engineer around Saturday but it’s not really made much difference. It’s still intermittently dropping out and pretty slow too. What do you suggest to correct this?

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Called and no issues. It has to be equipment, right? There’s an option to ‘test hub’ on that link but it just goes to an invalid page. I’ve been patient for a few weeks now, but I’m finding it hard to remain so! Trying to work like this is impossible

  • mattiem1976 Matt (@mattiem1976) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia getting 17gb download speed on 100gb service ??? Surely this isn't correct I should of stated with sky

  • sara_saehasti Sara (@sara_saehasti) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia please can I have the UK customer services number as gathering inconsistent information from the general call centre and I am losing faith

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia So… are you saying work is being carried out today. Wait until tomorrow and then if still bad book an engineer? I can live with that. But the person I spoke to had no idea about that and just booked an engineer again. Can I ask have other people raised area issues?

  • ibikebrighton Mark Strong (@ibikebrighton) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Hey @virginmedia any news on internet outage in #Brighton BN2?

  • MeMyselfAndLife Ian Clifford stands with Ukraine 🇺🇦 (@MeMyselfAndLife) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @HardyShorses @virginmedia Yeah I've had the same experience. I put a formal complaint in with call centre here in Manchester

  • FragileCreature Fragile Creatures (@FragileCreature) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia It's your customer service that isn't working. And our broadband router.

  • garypleece Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Same, slow and occasionally dropping out

  • FragileCreature Fragile Creatures (@FragileCreature) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia We already know there aren't problems in the area. I'm complaining about a lack of customer support staff and you send us to an automated line! Ridiculous.

  • OfficialPapel yung p (@OfficialPapel) reported

    @virginmedia Yes service status is still fine. I’m seeing flashing green light and the WiFi light in green. Where can I report that the WiFi is not connected?

  • Bob_Matharu_1 Bob (@Bob_Matharu_1) reported

    @virginmedia - Disappointed (understatement) with your service. Nearly 2 weeks and you can’t even get the correct engineers out! Not even a follow up call. I’ve called numerous times without an explanation. VERY POOR SERVICE. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

  • gracemoshsaran Grace (@gracemoshsaran) reported

    @virginmedia hi, are there broadband issues in SW12 9LL? Checked online and it said it’s only TV issues but our wifi is completely down. Same coloured lights on our Hub as we had when the broadband went down in our area last time!

  • MandySFSmile Mandy SF (@MandySFSmile) reported

    @virginmedia Is there an issue with your website. I’ve ended up paying the same bill twice as it wasn’t showing as paid. Realised it had been paid after checking my bank.

  • OfficialPapel yung p (@OfficialPapel) reported

    @virginmedia It is both WiFi and wired connection not working. We are sw11 area

  • RMCunliffe Rachel Cunliffe (@RMCunliffe) reported

    @virginmedia We had zero notice. None at all. Only found out it was "planned" by calling the helpline, which then cut me off after it cheerfully informed me there would be disruptive service today. I could have gone into the office had I had any warning at all.

  • Kizzaaa1 KJ (@Kizzaaa1) reported

    @virginmedia internet gone down, tried resetting box. Just seen it’s across a lot of areas so obviously some kind of service issue. At home with baby all day, no Netflix is no fun 😣

  • sheona_mills Sheona Mills (@sheona_mills) reported

    @virginmedia I have rang you 5 times this morning and you hang up after refusing to put us through to a manager. What am I supposed to do and what are you hiding?

  • solloplayer1773 Vasyl Slobodyan (@solloplayer1773) reported

    @virginmedia how long does it take to respond to a call, I can't understand how hard is it to resolve the problem with installation for 3 months now. I have to say the worst possible ISP and customer support. Communications are ZERO on delays and issues.

  • MatthewK_13 Matt (@MatthewK_13) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve tried pre install team, I’ve asked for a manager for the past 10 calls but have never been put through to one or ever been called back
