  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia Hi again. Just letting you know we’ve made contact with him and all seems fine. So please can we cancel the engineer for Friday.

  • HilaryGurden Hilary Gurden (@HilaryGurden) reported from Abingdon, England

    @virginmedia can you tell us if the service is down. We have had no tv or internet for the last half an hour

  • Olski Olie Bosley (@Olski) reported from Abingdon, England

    @virginmedia how embarrassing is it for you that I would rather pay @skytv more per month just to not have to deal with your appalling customer service?

  • davedec60 Dave Crocker (@davedec60) reported from Reading, England

    So @virginmedia once more we have an outage, how many times now in the last 3 months? NOT GOOD ENOUGH!! Currently looking at switching supplier

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @Feesuff1 @virginmedia Having same issues on BTSport 3 HD and 4HD.

  • MilesGomme Miles Gomme (@MilesGomme) reported from Cumnor, England

    @virginmedia I only use the hub as a router for my internal network of Dlan Wi-Fi extenders. This provides the best solution in my house. Having another Wi-Fi signal only causes more issues. Manual control is always the best solution! The Dlan routers stopped working….

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.

  • fayeharland faye harland (@fayeharland) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia I’m not sure if they do. Happy to do another web chat to cancel.

  • MilesGomme Miles Gomme (@MilesGomme) reported from Cumnor, England

    @virginmedia why did you bother sending out the email about opting out of having your Wi-Fi settings changed, when you go and do it anyway!! I had to reset and turn off all the changes you made! If it isn’t broken don’t fix it!!!

  • nickybootyy Nicky Booty (@nickybootyy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia when will the problems in rg1 be resolved?

  • Rochdale_Cowboy Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia @LudaLukeUK That webpage isn't working. Presumably because your network is down!

  • AronGunningham Aron Gunningham (@AronGunningham) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia RG6 no service

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.

  • inmilla68 Inmita La **** Peora de Offo (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia Internet is not working properly in my pc and your virgin app does not work either. It has been like that since last night.

  • iszi_lawrence iszi (@iszi_lawrence) reported from Reading, England

    @virginmedia internet is down in RG30 (router is white but no internet). Checked on mobile I’m not the only one experiencing problems in the area.

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @GiganetUK @virginmedia 13:25. Down again…

  • Oxfordwolf Oxford Wolf /\_/\ 🔶 (@Oxfordwolf) reported from Oxford District, England

    @virginmedia I've just received my price rise letter. Utterly extortionate! I will be calling you later to move providers. Your WiFi router is terrible as well. Perhapse my new provider will let me use the Internet more than 6ft away from the router?

  • LesleeRBarron 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗻 🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇦 🍃💚🍃 (@LesleeRBarron) reported from Reading, England

    Just had a call from Jerry at Virginmedia media wanting to help me mend my broadband issues (that I don’t have). After challenging him he told me to find the largest ***** & shove it up my arse!! Charming!! His No. 02038399963 #virginmedia #ScamAlert

  • ABennell4709 Alex Bennell (@ABennell4709) reported from Twyford, England

    @virginmedia broadband issues in RG10? Please could you look into ASAP? I have no connectivity at all. Thanks

  • HenleyStatic Stuart Henley (@HenleyStatic) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia footy on BBC1 through virgin box about 5 minutes behind tonight. Not good service

  • Ballyxx Michelle Ramsey (@Ballyxx) reported

    @virginmedia Not really much point trying to get you guys to help to be fair, this has been ongoing since July and we are still no further forward. Worst WiFi I have ever had and you are stealing money and not paying it back, absolute worst company I have had the displeasure to deal with 🤬

  • PaulSheeran2 Paul Sheeran (@PaulSheeran2) reported

    @virginmedia @vmbusinesshelp Thanks guys, managed to get it sorted via your complaints process. In all honesty problems happen but getting to speak to a representative should not take an hour wait.

  • SarahChadwick4 Sarah Chadwick 💙 (@SarahChadwick4) reported

    @virginmedia No it just says you are aware but like I said it's been happening virtually since I joined with the exception of the week or two after the engineer came. The internet has come back on again but like I said it's the intermittent dropping of the internet that's the problem

  • OneSetofFingers MWA 💙 (@OneSetofFingers) reported

    @virginmedia Even if I did, after the last 24 hrs the last thing I want is another ‘chat’ response. Truly shocking service for a loyal customer

  • Sass1975 Sarah (@Sass1975) reported

    @virginmedia The engineer was very helpful and disconnected the main socket and routed via the hub. He agreed the calls looked auto generated and went to check the outside box when he left. We do not use the phone, haven’t since last year when the reception was so bad we gave up.

  • LauraAnnK29 Laura King (@LauraAnnK29) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah work will due to finish at 3pm. At around half 4 internet came on for about 10/15 minutes and since then has been off. The service status says no problem in my area with broadband

  • Vyewalker Obi-**** Enobi (@Vyewalker) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, all services working, no known issues.

  • arranndiamond Arrann Diamond (@arranndiamond) reported

    @virginmedia We’ve done this. They were utterly unhelpful. The Router has loat all our port forwarding rules and now won’t save when we add them. They have said that the internet is active so it’s internal. But there’s clearly a router issue.

  • Jimmibabe Lorraine Ash🌻 💙 (@Jimmibabe) reported

    @virginmedia Yes they are. I've just checked the service status hoping to be fixed by midnight.
