  • cjossy Joss (@cjossy) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia As slow as your broadband speed

  • dizzymabil ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia Seems its all over the area. Dozens of posts on local SM pages, people without service since late last night. Can't wait to change providers, to a company that actually supply what I pay for

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia getting somewhat irked at the constant failure in the delivery of your services. And please don't apologise, it won't fix the broadband issue. You are now costing me money. This is not ideal. It's time for me to find a company that can deliver reliable broadband.

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Thank you @virginmedia? The outage fix will carry on for an additional 12 hours. You really know how to provide a great service, don't you? Well, not for me you don't. You've properly messed up my ability to have my work published tomorrow, thus, loss of business. #unimpressed

  • dizzymabil ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia It started as the phone ringing, at all hours day & night, but no one on other end. Then people ringing me on my mobile as wasn't answering landline I was home Phone hadn't rung Trying to call out & unable Changed handset Same problem.

  • GreyAmbition TheGreyAmbition (@GreyAmbition) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    9pm again at 11pm! so not only has the tv gone down it’s now the internet decides to go down. So sick of it! Does anyone in brighton have good internet connection ?- and if so give me names as I can’t deal with the poor service I get any longer @virginmedia @SkyUK someone help

  • dizzymabil ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia It's OK. I'll leave it Last call cost me over £8 & I didn't even get to speak to anyone. Ridiculously poor support

  • GreyAmbition TheGreyAmbition (@GreyAmbition) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Virgin media and there forever crap and diabolical service they provide ! Do an update on your crap

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I thought as much. I have never received such a call before - It is as if they were targeting telephone numbers affected by yesterdays outage.

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Yes, everything seems to be working now. However, I have just received a call from Virgin Media, or someone purporting to be you, telling me that I had poor broadband performance , and I needed to sit in front of my laptop to fix it. I soon hung up, getting the wrong vibes.

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Call you...? How do you think I found out about the issues? I wasted hours on the phone calling the numbers you have quoted. Give me strength.

  • tommyp2222 Tom Pritchard (@tommyp2222) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Issue says it should have been dealt with by 03:30 am ...... any update would be appreciated

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Looks like @virginmedia is down in the #brighton BN1 area. Service status says back on lune at 22:45. great timing @virginmedia, nice one, really appreciate the inconvenience.

  • dizzymabil ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia No They did line tests Said it was fine Told me was my phone After 3 different handsets all different makes/models I highly doubt it was that Last I heard an engineer was coming Never showed! Lost the will to argue anymore Will just change providers instead

  • ATS_Spencer Spencer Clark (@ATS_Spencer) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Worthing BN114NN reset and rebooted router still nothing... Outage?

  • tommyp2222 Tom Pritchard (@tommyp2222) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia hey service is down on bn13 1bx can you hive me an update on when this will be working as I need to work #help

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Thank you @virginmedia you are yet again delivering an unacceptable service! Broadband intermittent, cant work, nothing on a status update, yet an apology on front of the phone message. I've had better connectivity in a Sri Lankan jungle.

  • scotthortop Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia All your cable services are down right now, but can you explain why I can't access the programs recorded on the hard drive my virgin box? That makes no sense...

  • indiointernet Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Service outage back again! No TV, no broadband, no landline, can't work, can't go out because of the pandemic. Being as polite as I can, I have to say, your service is utter shite.

  • KayleighBlaker Kayleigh Blaker (@KayleighBlaker) reported from Worthing, England

    When you call @virginmedia for assistance with installing your kit (box on the wall is faulty) and the advisor wishes she wasn’t there... I get you finish in 20 mins but doing GDPR and placing me on hold for ages isn’t on?! I pay for a service!

  • LaurenSivyer Lauren'Sivyer (@LaurenSivyer) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, Friday. Still nothing. We have no internet and supposed to be working from home. I have genuinely never received such poor customer service.

  • skullemoji666 rob ☠️ (@skullemoji666) reported

    @virginmedia I called up yesterday & they said there is nothing you guys can do bc it shows up as no errors on your side. Our internet drops out every single day. We’ve already had an engineer come out and the issue is not sorted. Think we need a new router but apparently we can’t have one…

  • Baggiepat Patrick Grinham (@Baggiepat) reported

    Is there a problem with the @virginmedia broadband? Video's and GIFs on twitter and Facebook won't play. Birmingham B38 area. :-(

  • ReggieePerrin Russ Dawson (@ReggieePerrin) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I did but clearly they cancelled it 24 hours later. The new install is booked for Aug 2. Ive spoken to customer services who promised me it will be up and running by 6pm tonight. We shall see

  • blanaba1985 Mark (@blanaba1985) reported

    @virginmedia Really did confirm that you do not care about our custom and have taken a regular bill later for granted. To compound the issue, my mother in law has received yet another call to discuss her account. Proves that no one has listened.

  • skullemoji666 rob ☠️ (@skullemoji666) reported

    @virginmedia On and off for over a year but now it’s super bad. I’ve already nearly cancelled but was convinced to stay and now we still have this issue it doesn’t seem like anyone is bothered at looking into it. Only the bottom white light is on right now.

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported

    @virginmedia Forums won’t help your app doesn’t work properly. I haven’t got time to spend phoning you up and spending ages on the phone. Text is quick and easy. I might get a few hours to be able to mess about in about a month but I work full time with a child and 13plus hrs wk studying

  • kesel_li K (@kesel_li) reported

    @virginmedia ’s wifi is the most terrible wifi i hav EVER used. Cant believe they hav an “outage” nearly every week. CMON!!!

  • Anett26047877 Anett (@Anett26047877) reported

    @VMO2News @virginmedia You don't care about customers! Spent nearly 2h on the phone to quit contract after 15 years with virginmedia Agents just held me on telephone line 20 minutes and after put the phone down!! It was 3 times like this.

  • Mr_S_Belfast Mr S Belfast😎 (@Mr_S_Belfast) reported
