@virginmedia Internet is down in GU51 since yesterday. When will it be up? Can't report it online, because we have no internet for it to check with!

Really hard to support brand @virginmedia and recommend them to anyone for Broadband. They may be the only competitor to BT but do you have to compete for last place?

What's the problem @virginmedia ? No broadband all day in RG18. Work day wasted. Your signal check says "problems" but no updates. Can't get thro to customer service.

@virginmedia hi there not sure if you can help. We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service. We’re getting quite worried about him and wondered if it’s possible to see if there’s a fault on the line?

@SkyHelpTeam hope all is well, @virginmedia have just increased my bill again for broadband (£32 increase per month in the last 10 months, disgraceful) are there any deals for a Sky customer for broadband?

@virginmedia all week had total Broadband outages and down again now (past hour). Received a text from VM with link to follow (self help) and guess what, I need Internet to access! Trying to WFH just impossible. Every hour we have issues.

@virginmedia Hi! Our landline is being switched over to fibre on the 4th October, however our landline and WiFi hub are not on the same floor so we cannot connect them. Help please!

@virginmedia I'm sick of explaining this again & again - see previous tweets & msgs to VM. It isn't even noted - yesterday 2nd line support looked at my ticket & said I'm "not receiving any emails" NO NO NO! Just emails with etickets attached, even tho get non ticket emails from same sources

@virginmedia Truly astounding. I have spent hours trying to get virgin to actually carry out promises made and we’re still not there. I’ll swear the customer services reps I speak to are under so much pressure to move on to the next call they make it up as they go.

@virginmedia No broadband service in RG14 and your service status checker isn't working. Is there a know issue? #virginmedia

@virginmedia OK guys, could you ask your team behind the scenes to turn my BB signal up just a tad, you know, enough so it actually works? As your putting your prices up would be great to experience what I'm actually paying for now! Thanks

WiFi went down in the middle of watching Halloween Ends. 4G signal also unresponsive. Stuck on very slow 4G. Virgin Media say it’s possibly a hardware fault and want to send someone Monday. No. I’m not waiting 72 hours with no internet. I’ll implode.

So @virginmedia is down again, and their 4G backup dongle has failed to take over AGAIN. In fact, it has never once failed over to 4G in any of the outages we’ve ever had. Why am I paying for this? 😡

@virginmedia Thanks @virginmedia perhaps you should be making the effort to get me to stay as a customer. Hopefully @SkyHelpTeam will be able to offer me something more cost effective

@virginmedia Broadband down again, 2nd week in a row. Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!

@virginmedia That 1 of the probs, you dial 150 and it goes straight to engaged or you end up waiting ages. Plus theres no option for customer service.

@virginmedia Hello, I’ve used the app before & all my devices are fixed in the same position. It’s not like I’m moving them to blackspots around the house. For example I’ll be using my Smart TV, then it’ll say “there is no network connection” at random times

(@owenspinner) reported
@virginmedia As many of us are working from home; we rely on your internet to get our jobs done. Saying an issue will be fixed within hours on the 13th, to it still persisting now is far from the transparency we should expect as customers

@virginmedia I'm trying to - the connection is very unstable and it's taking forever to load. It was ok-ish until 10-15 minutes ago.

Amy Stone
(@amylouisestone) reported
@bt_uk Yeah I’m aware most service providers use your lines - which means I have no choice but to pay @virginmedia’s increasingly extortionate prices. It’s a shame because I was desperate to switch but your service is far below what is considered good in this day and age.

@virginmedia Can’t ever seem to get through and my internet service is terrible I and trying to do home schooling for my daughter who needs to be online for school and this is now becoming a problem. If she can’t get online it goes down as an absence

@virginmedia It’s been up and down constantly and rebooting takes around an hour each time. Seriously looking at other, more reliable providers.

@virginmedia been trying to speak to anyone in the ‘movers’ department numerous times in the last few days and each time during being transferred to that department the line clears!! would say to any1 thinking of moving to virgin media to think again! Awful service still waiting

@virginmedia Tried the text number you gave me without success. Time is now getting short and I need some answers. I have been a customer of Virgin for many years, and I think that I have not been treated well. Advise please.
