  • Salientwork Patrick Hughes (@Salientwork) reported from St Albans, England

    @virginmedia No broadband at all. Have tried resetting router but doesn’t help. Green arrows flashing on front of router. When I call get sent to website; when I go to website it says call. Would appreciate your help!

  • LizaHartley Liza Hartley (@LizaHartley) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia I have been cut off my call 3 times this morning! I am trying to cancel my cancellation as decided to stay with Virgin. I need to have this sorted today. I need a call back. I have been on the phone now for nearly 2 hours!

  • nealius Nealsmartie (@nealius) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    Some real rubbish from @virginmedia at the mo..broadband outage bordering 24 hours, I bet they don’t contact me with a compensation offer, I’ll no doubt have to chase it...

  • CParkus Chris Park (@CParkus) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia Over WiFi, but my router is in the same room with direct line of sight to the device so most likely the network.

  • keithg63 Keith Garrell (@keithg63) reported from Hitchin, England

    @virginmedia No and I actually had to turn WiFi off and use my phone service to use Twitter!! Oh and I’m 2m from my modem!!!!

  • ClaudiaMRedmond Claudia Redmond (@ClaudiaMRedmond) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia WiFi keeps going down for weeks now. Tried your customer service and just automated. Not acceptable especially when people in the house trying to work from home. Who can I speak to? #virginmediadown #virginmediawifi

  • SMCPT Scott McNicholas (@SMCPT) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia two attempts to upgrade package online. 1st included emailing confirmation and waiting in for delivery of equipment. Didn’t happen. Also spoken with someone on your chat and after 50 mins they couldn’t find order or offer same upgrade deal. Very poor indeed

  • iamninapina Nina Davis (@iamninapina) reported from Harpenden, England

    @virginmedia your service is shocking. Constant faults with broadband and no way of speaking to anyone to get it resolved

  • keithg63 Keith Garrell (@keithg63) reported from Hitchin, England

    Come on @virginmedia sort it out. WiFi has been terrible all day had to hotspot for several work Teams calls and now can’t get films in Netflix or Amazon Prime. SG4 area!! Kids not happy now either

  • rachwiles Rachel Wiles (@rachwiles) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @virginmedia please can you let me know how to contact you? I pay a stupid amount of money to you each month for all your channels and still can’t watch football on my phone/device - disgraceful

  • simon_lailey Simon Lailey (@simon_lailey) reported from Aylesbury Vale, England

    I forgot how crap @virginmedia are when you have a fault at home. Customer experience is shocking #CX , get treated like dirt. Must move to another provider this time around I think 😡

  • CraigFamilyBlog Hayley Craig (@CraigFamilyBlog) reported from St Albans, England

    I’ve literally had no mobile service all day! @virginmedia sort it out. It’s made me feel anxious all day, as I could go into labour at any point! And no... before you say it, it’s not just my phone. It’s the whole area 😔

  • 848Jake Jake Kirby (@848Jake) reported from Toddington, England

    @virginmedia once again (5th time in a month) you have screwed our account up. Now it’s another 30 minute wait to talk to someone to correct an error you have claimed to have fixed (on 3 occasions) The worst ever customer service

  • CParkus Chris Park (@CParkus) reported from London Colney, England

    @virginmedia It’s happened a few times now. Not sure what can be done about it? UK has slow internet speeds across the board no?

  • 848Jake Jake Kirby (@848Jake) reported from Toddington, England

    @virginmedia yet more appealing service from @virginmedia firstly you fail to transfer names@of an account holder and then, when you do, you get it wrong and cut me off. 30 minutes to get a call answered, absolutely disgraceful.

  • SandraDunn1955 Rainbow Warrior 3.5% do gooder #FBPE 🐟🇪🇺 🍥 (@SandraDunn1955) reported from Dunstable, England

    . @virginhelp @virginmedia As a long time customer, I took advantage of your recent offer of a 360 box plus mini box at no extra cost. Confirmed by a supervisor on 29/9. PLEASE SEND THE SIGNAL! 1/2

  • Claydon8Tim tim (@Claydon8Tim) reported from Hitchin, England

    @virginmedia can you tell me if there is an Internet connection problem in the Hitchin area please SG52SD. Haven’t had WiFi for 3 hrs now

  • CParkus Chris Park (@CParkus) reported from London Colney, England

    Fibre with @virginmedia is so slow I can’t even stream 720p without serious buffering. What is your network built on? Homing pigeons? At least that would explain the hordes around Trafalgar Square preparing to transmit Instagram selfies from basic tourists.

    @virginmedia Its almost been a week now and the internet is still not working and cutting out on work calls, i’m not sure what’s going on with fixing the area issue but it shouldn’t take 6 days?

  • PPLOM1 Sarah Lorimer (@PPLOM1) reported

    @virginmedia Can I person contact me about this ? There is no problem with Virgin in the area I've checked with all my family and friends. It's a problem with my box so I need someone to fix it ASAP

  • L0SH none (@L0SH) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, we currently have no internet in BS8 and haven't for over an hour now. Is there a problem? Do you know when it will be fixed? Thanks

  • mbarnett87 Mark Barnett (@mbarnett87) reported

    @virginmedia Please fix your cable / broadband.

  • L0SH none (@L0SH) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, the link doesn't work but the service checker on your website is now saying that you're doing work in the area today and tomorrow and there'll likely be no service? Is that true? I have my PhD defense scheduled over zoom tomorrow morning! - I need a broadband connection!

  • aleemullah2 aleem ullah (@aleemullah2) reported

    @virginmedia I call on that number he didn’t solve my problem

  • KeeperDavey DaveyTheKeeper (@KeeperDavey) reported

  • Bellelctaylor Belle Taylor (@Bellelctaylor) reported

    @virginmedia It's 03454541111 (followed by choosing (or being transferred to) accounts/renewal). I have still yet to be able to talk to someone who can help. I was on hold for so long, they said they'd ring me back. I admittedly missed this call but have had no more attempts since.

  • dandartington Dan Dartington (@dandartington) reported

    @virginmedia It’s fine now. It came back on at full time. Somewhat bad timing to say the least

  • bromleybill Bill Torrance (@bromleybill) reported

    @virginmedia @PaulaJHowarth Excuse me @virginmedia, if you are defaulting on your obligation to provide your customer with a service you have contracted for, she should have every right to terminate without penalty #unfaircontractconditions
