    John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @ralphyallen @virginmedia Let’s see how long it takes @virginmedia to respond or put something out proactively. I’m trying to call the 0345 customer service number as well as 150 but having no joy getting through.

  • flyingjok
    John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia hey there - lost all connectivity at home suddenly this morning and can’t get through to any of your helpline numbers. Is there problem in GU15 3HY area. Can’t understand why 150 and external numbers are either not connecting or just showing as constantly unavailable

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    Aargh. @VirginMedia broadband is down again, 20 mins here in GU14. That’s 13 days of poor service. I’m trying to WFH and daughter’s trying to do her homework online. This is infuriating.

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Oh... no, it’s down again. Nope, it’s back. Oh... and again, no BB. Wait, back on. Hurrah. Oh, no, back, nope, gone... There’s something seriously wrong with your service. Dead for 36 hours, back and now intermittent... in the middle of the night too! Who can fix this?

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Hi AR, I was given no time at all, only that there were ongoing issues the last two weeks then he said 7-10 days. He said you were working on it, it would be fixed but no timescale. 15 days of unreliable BB is awful. Have had 100% outages of up to 36 hours.

  • adimarlow
    Adrienne (@adimarlow) reported from Camberley, England

    Switched to @virginmedia broadband in Nov ‘20 and agreed to pay more per month than I was paying before just to get reliable broadband. Now I find myself never using the Wi-Fi at home and the kids having to use my phone data to complete school lessons and work as it is SO BAD 😡

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Called yesterday PM: engineer tested the line, said there were network issues despite status page saying to the contrary. Was told you were fixing the issue but today is day 15 and no BB since ~15:30 yesterday. I have to go to the office, no choice. Poor/no BB = risk my health 🙁

  • psjarlo
    _jarl_ostensen (@psjarlo) reported from Guildford, England

    @virginmedia how can I check if you're doing a remote hub update now, or if the box flashing green is a problem?

  • M_Coneley
    MissB (@M_Coneley) reported from Fernhurst, England

    @virginmedia No it’s not an end of contract discount being removed, worrying if it was since the increase is just £4., it’s for investing in service improvement. The point I was making, which seems to have been missed, is the current service keeps failing & def not close to 99% reliable

  • flyingjok
    John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Your web site is not very helpful really - apparently the fault will be rectified by 08.40 this morning. Understand technical problems arise but it’s surely much better to provide proactive updates rather than to react in receipt of complaints?

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @SinghT2j @virginmedia It’s been down a good 3 days in the last 14 here. Otherwise it’s either slow or randomly intermittent. They really need to sort their network out, it was never this bad until 2 weeks ago.

  • flyingjok
    John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for getting the internet sorted but any reason why there is still no phone service or any information to explain?

  • flyingjok
    John Neilson (@flyingjok) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Still no landline service to home and neighbour similarly. It’s been close on 24hrs - pretty irritated that there is no information coming proactively from your team to be honest but appreciate the social team’s responsiveness to my contact

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    Dear diary, day 16 of poor/zero broadband. I called @VirginMedia, joined a queue, cooked, served & ate dinner, started watching The Simpsons then after 48 minutes of Jake Bugg and some other repetitive on-hold phone entertainment, they cut me off!

  • WakeFireplaces
    Wakeford Fireplaces (@WakeFireplaces) reported from Flexford, England

    How do we resolve our internet problems if there’s no one at Virgin Media who’s willing to help, or speak with us??... please sort it out before our router finds a new home in the recycling bin.... @virginmedia why does it have to revert to shouting out loud on social media?...

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @GuseensLV @virginmedia Ah man, I’m with ya. 350MB here was fab until 16 days ago. Been “OK” today, had a relatively stable connection but it never crept over 10MB and that was if I was lucky *sigh*

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @sniveldirk @virginmedia Also it’s not reliable broadband. I’m suffering day 15 of anything but the 350MB connection I paid for. Right now it’s dead again. The lack of service forced me to have to work from an office today (again!) How unsafe is that?

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yep. It’s been poor for over 4 days and non-existent for nearly 36 hours. Yes, I’ve checked BB status, it’s supposedly OK, yes I’ve rebooted, yes I’ve factory reset, multiple times. Still no BB. Still have to go to office, no choice unfortunately. No BB = Big health risk🙁

  • pmross
    Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @Binky_2301 @virginmedia The service was pretty reliable until now 19 days ago. Their status tool says no issues yet an engineer told me there were. And that they were fixing it. Been watching Twitter and it’s been an issue with folks all over the country.

    Omg @virginmedia the worse service you could possible get 😡

    @virginmedia my broadband has been down for about 12 hours. The online checker says engineers are working to fix an issue in our area but there have been no updates or timeframes. Can you help pls. Postcode SO533NY. Thanks

  • Khasakstan
    Carole Anne Hamill (@Khasakstan) reported

    @virginmedia I spend almost two hours on the phone last week to get help with my broadband and the billing isn’t right now. I am disabled and find it strange that a company of your size does not have a designated team for this. I can’t do another two hours of this

  • bigslizzy
    J (@bigslizzy) reported

    @virginmedia twice in 2 days all services have been down. The service from virgin is a disgrace.

  • andyunited99

    @virginmedia Hi, is there an internet connection issue in the RH10 area?

  • Brasfort49
    Julian Armstrong (@Brasfort49) reported

    @virginmedia have shut down the internet completely in this part of London. The internet went off in the middle of the Wales v Ireland Match and remains off. Of course, as usual they will blame their customers, but the unreliability is ridiculous for the price @Ofcom DO ZILCH

  • kapeeech
    Karrise Willetts (@kapeeech) reported

    @virginmedia is the worse service - broadband down for 2 days… can I log it? No! Because their telephone system takes me in circles and I can’t speak to a human. Ridiculous

  • q2uantum
    Nigel Twigg (@q2uantum) reported

    @virginmedia your status checker says no issues in the S65 3DL area, but elderly father with dementia has no phone or internet. Called support who says there is an issue in the area and to check the status checker... Is there an issue or not?

  • AndrewW12290183
    Andy W (@AndrewW12290183) reported

    @virginmedia How many times do I have to fill in a equipment return form without the threat of a fine from Virgin. Also be handy and legal if you sent a confirmation email. 35 years with Virgin put on a TV subscription when I never signed up for it. How low can Virgin get

  • JeanCol1999
    Jean Coleman (@JeanCol1999) reported

    @virginmedia any idea when the broadband/phone/tv will be back on in SO53 3 area? As been down since 10.30 last night… Big red flashing light on the router…….
