  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia The people on first line support are there to filter out the most obvious problems (wrong password, equipment not plugged or faulty, etc). Your goal noe is to prove that it's not your fault (device configuration, weak WiFi, etc).

  • saschlike Captain Morgan-Evans (@saschlike) reported from London, England

    Who needs a man when Virgin Media goes down on me everyday

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hi my internet is down again tried rebooting but still down and says no issues when done online check? Can you help as wfh so need back ASAP for Monday

  • Karen_1979 Karen (@Karen_1979) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Customer service is rubbish not even a message back after my last complaint on here because you wanted all my security details cos that's safe giving them to you. Once again the box broke when you were having problems and I lost all my programs some I cant ever get back.

  • juliecason ✨💎Jules💎✨ (@juliecason) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia both boxes saying error S101. No WiFi. Rubbish service. Thankfully out of contract so will be looking elsewhere. RM3 area.

  • MrBriggsie James 'Jimmy' Briggs (@MrBriggsie) reported from London, England

    @BBCWatchdog #treatloyaltylikeroyalty @virginmedia new customers pay 50% less than what I pay for Broadband and I’ve been a customer for 5 years plus!!

  • RobTThreadgold Rob Threadgold (@RobTThreadgold) reported from Brentwood, England

    @splursty @virginmedia It’s country wide I would hang up if I were you!

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia Don't mention the word WiFi, your problem is the WAN connection. Plug you laptop via the LAN cable when testing / calling them.

  • TonyRoddUK Tony Rodd (@TonyRoddUK) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It's finally working but says there's an intermittant error on the network. No option to get it fixed though. Anything that can be done?

  • MidkentTravel MidKent Travel (@MidkentTravel) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Can you please private message me, I have a log on issue.

  • Karen_1979 Karen (@Karen_1979) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Why is it when @virginmedia have a fault my v6+ breaks down and I have now lost all my 64% of recording that I can not get back are you going to compensate me.

  • scottycav13 Scott Cavanagh (@scottycav13) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia every night this week at 7pm our internet goes down and is unusable. Can’t watch amazon or Netflix. Rebooted every system in our house and the hub every night inc hard reset...at our wits end and impossible to speak to anyone on your call centre.

  • gorgeousuk A҈n҈n҈a҈b҈e҈l҈l҈e҈ H҈i҈l҈l҈ (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    Virgin media down again. My husband is trying to work from home, I was trying to do some work before I go to work. No television either - rubbish service. #virginmedia

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia That's to discard physical problems with your cable.

  • KikassP CazkikassPhotography (@KikassP) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia thanks on behalf of all virgin media customers for not being able to pick up phones to help those who need help but have no wish to "Do it on line" we haven't received any compensation for 3 days of no net even though we have registered it everyday. PART ONE

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia The router has a couple of pages that are useful, one has the logs (check the error timestamp matches when your connection went down). There is also a more technical page that shows the uplink / downlink channels, have a look and check there is some voltage on them.

  • TonyRoddUK Tony Rodd (@TonyRoddUK) reported from London, England

    Anyone on @virginmedia in SE London able to get online? We have had more issues and their service status page doesn't seem to be working. Doesn't look like they're responding to tweets either for the past 17 hours...

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia I used to be a customer before moving to Lewisham and left them because I was getting about 10% of the contracted speed and they were taking months to resolve it. They ended up admitting it was oversubscription.

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia I have continually tried to call, your wait times are really unacceptable, anyway I have also opted for the text service, however no text received. I am losing faith I’ve been waiting since August for some kind of contact from you. Any other options?

    @virginmedia That was 4 weeks ago; they suppose to come this week but they AGAIN changed the day for another 3 weeks, it’s just ridiculous that I’m paying £41 every month for not service for the last 4 months? 5 months? I can’t even remember anymore #terrible customer service

  • mejones2121 Michael Jones (@mejones2121) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia Absolute rubbish. I pay a premium for super fast broadband and it buffers during Streaming plus I've had no internet or phone line all day YET AGAIN. #internet #broadband #poor service

  • davidjohnharris David John Harris (@davidjohnharris) reported

  • chris_lumb Chris (@chris_lumb) reported

    @virginmedia Doesn’t seem to be a speed issue but a Microsoft engineer ran tests on my work laptop due to issues with MS teams functionality snd diagnosed jitter as the problem.

  • rebeccamcle0d rebecca (@rebeccamcle0d) reported

    @daniellemcdonut @virginmedia They should have sent a letter/email to you confirming it was cancelled aswell mate!!!!! If they waived the late payment fee they know they where in the wrong!!! Raise a complaint with that ****
