    SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Zero Internet connectivity from @virginmedia now for pushing 12 hours. Resetting and/or powering down the hub does nothing, the diagnostic and fault tools just go round and around in an ever more boring circle. #LightningSpeedFarce

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Another fail. I've reached out in exasperation since my chase-ups of 14th, 19th and today have been ignored. As have my 5 messages to your local rep who promised to be on hand. If you can't be bothered to help me, I'll just escalate via another route @richardbranson

  • AdieJAMster
    Adie Hughes (@AdieJAMster) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

    @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

  • KittykatClaire
    Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    I'm so pissed off @virginmedia blackmailed me into signing my mobile contract with @O2 by saying my media account would be cheaper. If I stayed with virgin it would be amount more. So I had no option but to go with o2 and No my mobile Internet is crap. I can't use my doorbell

    John (@jfrncs_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

    Hey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

  • CaseyRain
    Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, England

    Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec

  • scbadham
    Scott badham (@scbadham) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia really disappointed in the service lately all it does is keep dropping. I’ve had no Internet services for the last hour again the fourth time this week and it’s still not working

  • iamscorchy
    iamscorchy (@iamscorchy) reported from Wednesfield, England

    Virgin media is literally dog! Worst thing I've done is keep renewing with you every year next year 100% going with bt! Forever dropping out reconnecting utter pointless meant to be 1gig complete waffle! @Virgin #virginmedia

    @virginmedia The ideal resolution would have been for VM to return the document as originally promised. We have dealt with other companies in this regard and all have been prompt and professional. Even the DWP accepted a photocopy of the POA. Why VM couldn't is entirely beyond me.

    Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

    Colin Hunt (@HuntColin58) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It took me best part of a day Friday 24/3/2023 to contact you to cancel my broadband but since I finally managed to you have been contacting me 4 times a day. We have signed a contract with someone else. Please stop harassing us we have cancelled

  • BeardPunk

    @virginmedia Hi. The team have also said that the issue isn’t resolved though? Everything has been reset multiple times this morning and still the same issue.

  • SusieWJr
    Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Himley, England

    @virginmedia The status checker says intermittent signal in your area. It's disgusting with how much I pay for broadband.

  • NewtonAndy
    Andy Newton (@NewtonAndy) reported from Dudley, England

    @Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

  • nealesj
    Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia Dear ‘RP,’ I find your tone unacceptable. I don’t care how many times you’ve had to repeat the statement; customers are paying for a service they’ve not been getting, so dial down your level of obnoxiousness please.

    @virginmedia how on earth is the a wide outage lasting days without any communication from you. Ive tried to contact several times ove the last couple of days. HA4 for my father in law and UB9 for me. I have never seen such as display of lack of customer service.

  • hdpoolie
    DH (@hdpoolie) reported

    @mobily_uk @virginmedia It's ******* stupid 5/6 of the last times I've actually ended up paying less for more also. If they offered me the same in the first place they'd be better off!

    @virginmedia honestly hindsight is great because if I had just waited I wouldn’t of gone with yourself as a provider. £90 a month for constant drops in internet / tv. Your stream box is useless. Massive thumbs down 👎 would not recommend. Should of just renewed with @skytv 👍

    @MrAlanGreen @virginmedia Same here, quoted £400 if we leave, but we aren't even getting a service from them, so £400 for nothing

    Stevie Leon 🌳 (@sme30) reported

    @lelly401 @virginmedia @NetflixUK No i had it separately. Then my virgin bill had a netflix subscription on it. I asked them to cancel as I hadn't taken netflix with them. Now my regular subscription has been downgraded to standard!!!

  • iadnan9
    Addy (@iadnan9) reported

    @virginmedia @HawtinStewart Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste of time.
