    @virginmedia oh what a surprise the Internet is down again. If there was any alternative to Virgin in my area I'd be off like a shot.

  • elfakiuk Ahmed Elfaki (@elfakiuk) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia Not sure if it is one issue that can’t fix fir four or five weeks or every week a new one. The issue is we relying on @VodafoneUK to work from home

    @virginmedia Broadband down since 5pm .. Is there an outage in N21 area ? Do you have an estimate for the fix ?

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yep that’s funny. Really is. Do you not think I’ve not tried ringing you & only can do so on my mobile as no landline remember, on hold up to 40 mins+ & then cut off. You try it. It’s impossible to speak to a real person. WORST SERVICE EVER👎🏻

  • Gksharkar Gk (@Gksharkar) reported from East Ham, England

    @virginmedia since 2016 with virgin but really disappointed and disgusted as network is so cheap, sometimes feel like i am in the Amazon Forest. As advised i upgraded it and nlw paying more money but without proper service. Everyday it drops.

  • Jmiragliotta89 JMiragliotta (@Jmiragliotta89) reported from Waltham Abbey, England

    @Blonde_Nutter @Clarkey_44 Virgin media for me. Would have sky q but internet with them here is awful!

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia please respond and contact me to sort out my issues of no landline and broadband, your service is a nightmare & zero response or support from appchat. Not happy. #virginmedia @virginmedia

  • matbarnett Mat Barnett (@matbarnett) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. We’ve just been told 4PM too but can you confirm if it was a planned outage? We weren’t given any notification and this is the worst possible timing.

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I’m sick of corresponding with virtual assistants. I need a real person to fix a real problem. Now.

  • JCherryAMES James Cherry (@JCherryAMES) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hi the internet is down in Eltham 21, all day and can’t run a test because you’ve sent me a hub 4 that doesn’t allow it!

  • BostonCelticsFC Boston Celtics (@BostonCelticsFC) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia need home phone support please! Been on hold 1 hour 20 mins. The Home phone for some reason is not making outgoing calls and when it does, it comes up as a mobile number which I'm assuming is on the sim card from the burnside terminal. Need help please

  • ferdi_rezvan Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia is there known problems in the SE3 area? Virgin service status page is not working...

  • barfolo1979 Bartosz Zakrzewski (@barfolo1979) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia Since more than 2 hours the broadband in E15 2BT is absolutely poor or not going at all. Your website lies and shows the service is good and and green while your telephone message says you service experiences intermittent connection and teams work to fix it. When ?

  • dominicjoyner Dominic Joyner (@dominicjoyner) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia - how do I report a specific problem with a TV service?

  • Tinalc69 Tina Clark (@Tinalc69) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia currently at 35 min for a online chat reply. Not a good start for a new customer with a query about delivery today!

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I just want 2 speak 2 someone that will sort issues out ASAP without holding for an hour & more. App chat is non responsive. Beyond frustrated by no phone or broadband & terrible backup help support non existent. How can I fix this or please just cancel as had enough now.

    @virginmedia Tried that. Request denied due to a flag on my account. Spoken with your customer service team request denied. Cancellation team request denied.

  • sgondkar Seema Gondkar (@sgondkar) reported

    @virginmedia @nebredral @virginmedia what’s going on with your services, residents of SL6 no TV and broadband for over a week now. After paying premium £145/month expecting us to pay additional on days Boltons to continue to work from home is not acceptable! What’s wrong with you customer communications

  • titchmeisterpro Angus Andrew (@titchmeisterpro) reported

    @virginmedia Does a hub with no lights after a thunder storm mean a network issue or a replacement hub? All other electrical devices are working as normal. Thanks!

  • lollythemonkey Lauren (@lollythemonkey) reported

    @virginmedia I seem to be having an issue with the WiFi. I'm working from home and seem to have no WiFi connection to devices. My router is on and looking online says its working. Ive rebooted and still nothing. I have a steady yellow power light. I've checked all cables. Help!

  • dako326 Adam Dakin (Dako) (@dako326) reported

    @Mel23Odie @virginmedia They are the worst company I've ever dealt with, so lacklustre and treat long serving customers like dirt #imofftosky

  • waveyx1970 Dave (@waveyx1970) reported

    @virginmedia No issues in the area according to the virgin media app. Used the app as the link you sent didn’t work. And still no response on the virgin media app chat!

  • Jojocurlytop Jo Ratcliffe (@Jojocurlytop) reported
