    @virginmedia we done that, all connections are in to the box, your company network thinks that we are connected via router this not so, but has a cable run into the house.

  • TomMcKCharity Tom McKenzie (@TomMcKCharity) reported from London, England

    Hey @virginmedia, internet down for awhile now and your service checker isn't working. Not the first time recently.

  • dietmarlen Dietmar Lenden #FBPE (@dietmarlen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Well surprise surprise. The WiFi is down again. 6 weeks in a row. Call Centre hing yo when passing my call to a manager. Poor service. This is now unacceptable. How do I complain (other than @Ofcom) about this poor service. Why is the service so awful now.

  • bazzau73 🍩🍩🍩Barrie⚽⚽⚽ (@bazzau73) reported from Romford, England

    And now we have no internet at all. Always such a fantastic service from @virginmedia. What a rip off

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

    @virginmedia are there known issues in the SE3 area. My broadband is not working and the service status page does not and the virgin media support phone line is not able to take calls

  • _euanwilson Euan Wilson (@_euanwilson) reported from London, England

    One of the only important zoom meetings I have this week, actually an online seminar I’ve paid for and obviously @virginmedia has gone down... wonderful

  • bazzau73 🍩🍩🍩Barrie⚽⚽⚽ (@bazzau73) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Not sure what this will do. There has been regular outages in the area for over a week. Your call centre told me today that this should now be fixed and will not reoccur. We will see if this is the case when the service eventually returns.

  • chadoneit Charlie Done It. (@chadoneit) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia help, your internet has cut out again #unreliable #badservice

  • NickLovell_ Nick Lovell (@NickLovell_) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia so my services, since being installed have not worked more than they have worked. As first impressions go this is very bad. If this isn’t fixed by this afternoon I will cancel my services as im still within 14 days cooling period.

  • dietmarlen Dietmar Lenden #FBPE (@dietmarlen) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia An engineer will be sent on Saturday. Second one in a week. Trying to use the chat function to load get a complaint and it disconnects. The agents do not seem keen on taking a complaint. I have been happish with tservice for few years now but it has deteriorated in last 6 weeks

  • bazzau73 🍩🍩🍩Barrie⚽⚽⚽ (@bazzau73) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia And its gone again @virginmedia an absolute joke of a service

  • FionaGraham Fiona Graham (@FionaGraham) reported from London, England

    @ProfWoodward @virginmedia I can believe it. That’s outrageous - and clearly they don’t need the business. Which given the expense of their broadband + TV package seems about right. If it’s any consolation - it’s down a lot, and the speed we get is constantly being throttled, even before covid.

  • bazzau73 🍩🍩🍩Barrie⚽⚽⚽ (@bazzau73) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia And its gone again. Really is an awful service. Your status page is not in real time as i speak to your operators who confirm an outage but your status page says everything is fine

  • londonpommie Paul N (@londonpommie) reported from London, England

    Wake up to another morning of no service from @virginmedia @ThreeUK please get 5G rolled out so I can cancel this awful service.

  • steven_crawford Steven Crawford (@steven_crawford) reported

    @virginmedia I've been on hold for 2hrs trying to cancel my service. What's the deal? Both times I've been hung up on. Appalling customer service.

  • quietarea1 Neil Crossan (@quietarea1) reported

    @virginmedia followed your advice. Raised a complaint , officially. Rules are response within 48 hours. Nothing back yet but I did send it on Friday good old virgin

  • Gturv GTT (@Gturv) reported

    @virginmedia I have a TiVo box that has become unresponsive on apps. I wanted to upgrade it to a V6. I have a V6 in other room. VM wanted £135 for that upgrade. As a long standing customer on one of the top packages I thought that was outrageous.

  • nicholac82 nichola coutts (@nicholac82) reported

    @virginmedia when do you think you will issue my refund? Left on the 24th June & still haven’t had anything through 👎🏽

  • Gturv GTT (@Gturv) reported

    @virginmedia Been checking, it appears the TiVo gets its internet signal from the cable? I can’t see a wifi setting to change?

  • KhaleesiKat SallySunshine (@KhaleesiKat) reported

    Appalling customer service from sales @virginmedia this morning. I only wanted info as flat moving to has NTL box on wall. Queried hardware. When I would give my name to action a sale as I’m not ready yet she disconnect call. Still don’t have answers. Why should I bother?

  • thetonytinman Tony Tinman (@thetonytinman) reported

    @virginmedia To cancel. But it seems you cannot help with this. I'll simply stop paying then we can sort it out when your debt collection people kick in. I'll work on the assumption they're more efficient than your customer services team.

  • pgull1975 Paul Gull (@pgull1975) reported from Saffron Walden, England

    @virginmedia I’ve spoken to someone who had previously chased this for me and he is still waiting on confirmation of change to residential property. He did say that once confirmed there could be another two weeks before installation. Will I be compensated for lack of service?

  • Spooky3lectric1 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗵𝗮𝗺 (@Spooky3lectric1) reported

    @virginmedia I'm confused. Upload speed has dropped to around 1Mbps (usually around 35-40Mbps). Service page says no issues in the area (20). Run test says there *is* an issue being investigated and to check the status page (which says no issues...). Stuck in an error check loop!

  • JamesCronican James Cronican (@JamesCronican) reported

    @virginmedia Our broadband has been down for three days now and nothing fixes it. I used the online helper but it couldn't fix it either, so I booked a callout for the 3rd. We got a text today saying it'd been fixed your end, but it's still not working. Do we still have our appt?
