    Thomas Moore 🏳️‍🌈 (@Theoryjoy) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    We are having to play monopoly as the Virgin broadband is now down for the third day in a row in New Malden. We are unable to stream Christmas carols and watch cheesy Christmas films. This could make or break us :-) @virginmedia @ofcom #virginmedia #ofcom

  • jasonford1988

    @virginmedia @Baxter53Katy @virginmedia if anyone estimated something was only a couple of hours, and it turned into 5 days (5 days compared to 3 hours is 6000% difference) there is something majorly wrong with the estimates. Especially if the pictures of the issue are anything to go by.

    Damn this #virginmedia again. I pay every month a lot of money and still now 3 days without internet and TV! And I'm sure that they will charge for this too 😡😠 #mad #needtowork #notnormal

    @Mumma_haley35 @virginmedia Sounds that way. Unfortunately @ThreeUK seem to be having issues in KT2 as well, so even my 4G isn’t working very well on my phone. Telco needs to move into the modern world of customer service, maybe @Ofcom need to change their regulations.

    @virginmedia when will@you update us with some proper information about our Wi-fi outage. More info makes calmer customers.

  • tiggsie
    Sarah Ward (@tiggsie) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @JackieSmith_nmc @virginmedia @SkySports Thankfully 😅 but looking at the twitter feed the communication with all their other customers seems really bad

  • Peter_Wilkins78
    Peter Wilkins (@Peter_Wilkins78) reported from Merton, England

    @MariaMCasey @virginmedia That's a very ambiguous sentence. Not clear whether they'll only pay for working days, whether they'll pay for all days but only after 2 working days, whether the time starts from registering or whether it started from when the service went out.

  • chrisTstraker
    Chris Straker (@chrisTstraker) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Service just resumed 😓

  • Nuovovino
    John warr (@Nuovovino) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @VirginMediaNews @virginmedia 4th day without internet/TV/Phone it’s taking this long because there was never a plan B. Stop lying about how long this problem will take to fix, and make sure you have a hefty compensation package.

  • RichardDPoole
    Richard Poole 🔶 #Kohler4Wimbledon (@RichardDPoole) reported from Merton, England

    .@virginmedia I’ve given you the space to fix a complicated problem not of your making but your lack of empathy & respect for your customers demonstrated by your inability to level with us and be honest about the fix time is now ridiculous.

  • Leximar2009
    Alex Marriott (@Leximar2009) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    engineers in New Malden saying a large foundation drilling machine on an adjacent property drilled into a duct containing the fiber optic cables causing the problem. they said that the Virgin site states the issue will be fixed by 1600hrs on Friday and they laughed @virginmedia

  • NedKell99403028
    Ned Kelly (@NedKell99403028) reported from Lambeth, England

    @EdieKelly25 @virginmedia Go outside and flag down a Virgin van, and get them to fix it. It's the only way, you get to talk to anyone. Their customer service is shite!

  • llima3000
    Luiz Otavio (@llima3000) reported from Merton, England

    I can say that @virginmedia is giving me a proper nightmare before Christmas! I’m going to have 3 days with no Internet, TV and Phone... and they just push the fix date/time forward... should be fixed at 9 am, now they pushed to 5 PM... always that way! #fail #virginmediadown

  • RichardDPoole
    Richard Poole 🔶 #Kohler4Wimbledon (@RichardDPoole) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Hi. I’m very well aware of the fault, the causes and the hard work your engineers are putting in to the fix the issue. All I and thousands of others want to know is a realistic timeframe to be reconnected. If we know it’s going to be days we can make alternative arrangements.

  • StreetCube
    StreetCube (@StreetCube) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @IfIKnewThen @Tell2k @ThreeUK The point is, is that it’s Virgin Media’s obligation to keep their fee-paying clients informed with truth and transparency. Anything less is an insult. Accidents happen, (as with the fibre optic ****-up) but lying, misleading and manipulating is utterly deplorable, #leavevirgin

  • llima3000
    Luiz Otavio (@llima3000) reported from Merton, England

    @dodofrost @virginmedia No, it’s already showing 9 AM 23rd Dec... it’s a complete disrespect with the customer! If they had a fibre cable broken is not my fault, they should have a quick response for this kind of fault, a workaround, but no, they just keep pushing the date forward without any notice...

  • ayca_oncu
    Ayca Oncu (@ayca_oncu) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @virginmedia Not really, eta for fix was yesterday then postponed to this morning and now says 7pm today... the info you provide is not trustworthy...

  • sophsophbling
    Sophie Hardie 🦄👸 (@sophsophbling) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @virginmedia 3rd day with no internet or tv absolutely terrible service. You guys need to be honest with your costumers and not keep changing the deadline!!!! Definitely want a refund for the last 3 days!!!! #virginmediadown

  • chrisTstraker
    Chris Straker (@chrisTstraker) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia a still waiting for TV & broadband to come back into service !! Any ideas, other than the 4pm, that I’ve been told for last two days 😱

  • HWick_Bluenose
    Chris (@HWick_Bluenose) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @Moi_Twitting @CorporalMum @Ofcom If this is true @virginmedia then it’s a disgrace as you provide this service for homes and not business. I know as I manage our Virgin Media BUSINESS service for my employers. If I don’t get compensation for the whole period of the outage I’m off. £128.50 pm + £33 pm mobile. 👋

    Hi @virginmedia, spent over an hour today tryng to confirm new contract & report a fault - just reviewed new contract & it's £10 more a month than agreed over 'phone & never got to speak to someone about the fault. Would make big difference to my day tomorrow if could sort both!

    @virginmedia how can your TV go app on laptop be so poor! Keeps asking for device to be registered which I've done and registered the same device 4 times still won't work! How can a company charge so much yet have such poor software no wonder so many people pirate the football!

    @virginmedia Hi. Can you please contact me about my broadband as it is giving out a very weak signal at the moment. Thanks

  • ourmand1712
    Amanda Bullock (@ourmand1712) reported

    @virginmedia We are also paying for 350mbps and have the top package and 4 TiVo boxes amongst telephone and mobile packages. You get a lot of money out of us and we are not getting the full service we have been contracted.

  • simonlyall_p
    simon lyall (@simonlyall_p) reported

    And again @virginmedia this has been going intermittent for weeks now. Multiple speed tests show packet loss and poor speed. Hour+ waits on hold on phone to get hung up on. What's being done?
