    @virginmedia so Virgin is a media company that is uncontactable by Phone, email, Twitter and message service. Who on earth would trust them with their business if they can’t manage themselves

    @virginmedia Please help. I can't talk to u via home phone or mob. Our whole network (WiFi, TV, home phone) been going on and off for a week now but online status says it's OK. Please help!

  • garveyjd3 garveyjd3 (@garveyjd3) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia You did great in sorting out my internet issues quickly and sorting the right wires but you didn't have to sever my satellite dish cable... That needs replacing and splicing now....

  • DeanLongman1 Dean Longman (@DeanLongman1) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I have done all that is requested and still not working so have been on hold for 53 mins for someone to put the phone down without even speaking to me yet again! What do you advise is the next step?

  • darthteddy Suren Perera (@darthteddy) reported from London, England

    So @virginmedia is down again. App says everything is fine but clearly not.

  • Caleb_Parker 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐛 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫 🚀 (@Caleb_Parker) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yes after a 5 hour outage during a key work time did me it came back up. But I’m more disappointed in the delay in customer service response time.

  • katiewoo26 katie lee (@katiewoo26) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia After spending 1 hour on hold, I gave up. I just want to order a booster for my broadband! Please help!

  • Caleb_Parker 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐛 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫 🚀 (@Caleb_Parker) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hey, my broadband is down. Your website says there is a known service issue. Can you advise when it’s coming back up, as I’m working from home and need access.

  • Paul_Wingfield Paul Wingfield (@Paul_Wingfield) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @Virginmedia When working your network is fantastic but when it fails you are disastrous! 😡 There are at least 20 houses near me with the same problem and you are telling us all that our Hubs are faulty. Hasn't it occurred to you that we probably have a serious network problem?

  • goonergeek2000 Gary Thompson (@goonergeek2000) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia right I’ve just about had enough of virgin customer services. Cancelled service on 10 December. Today find out account is live after logging in. On hold four times for over 45 minutes. Latest on hold for 1hr 19 minutes. Call gets answered then cut off! What the hell

  • MFC_Steve Steve (@MFC_Steve) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Do you know your phone lines are down ?

  • darthteddy Suren Perera (@darthteddy) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I trust you won’t be charging me for the time your service is down and even compensating me because I am unable report to work and do my job?

  • DanielSSmith DanielSSmith FRSA (@DanielSSmith) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia multiple houses on my street are down but all being told there is no problem and must be with ourselves only. Clearly it's not. Trying to work and home school and can’t today. Se136ew

  • AndythePlank TheTraveller🇬🇧 (@AndythePlank) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia trying to home school our child, WiFi is crap!

  • Paul_Wingfield Paul Wingfield (@Paul_Wingfield) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Not only has TV, Broadband & Home Phone, ALL packed up, for ours & at least 20 other homes, but you've told me that it'll take at least 5 days 😳 to get a technician round to change my Hub (which isn't even the problem). 🙄

  • lonewharf Kos Skassis (@lonewharf) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia 2 hours of no broadband. Got text to say services back up. Its now gone offline again, but your service status says everything is fine in the area 😞😞

  • lonewharf Kos Skassis (@lonewharf) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I have no broadband service, in DA7 area. Is there an issue in the area.?

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    Any @virginmedia customers out there who’ve been landed a price increase - just ring them on 03454541111 and the automated service immediately offers you a £4.50 pm discount for 6 months = £27 of savings. Bit of a weird way of doing business but obvs hope many just suck it up. 👍

  • AdahParris Adah Parris (she/her) (@AdahParris) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia wifi outage again in SE London. This has been happening for the last few days but the website service status says there are no issues. What’s happening and when will it be fixed?

  • joniread68 Jon Read (@joniread68) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia no way of contacting you over cancelling my contract, lines are down. How do we speak to you?

  • JamesScottCook James Cook (@JamesScottCook) reported

    @virginmedia But this is the point… I keep on calling and keep getting hung up on. No-one at VM wants to take ownership over our issue.

  • lulucolette alizgalushka_official (@lulucolette) reported

    @virginmedia An exisiting customer who moved houses in December and having issues since. Broadband was fixed on the 10th of Jan, then promised TV&landline will be fixed on the 4th of Feb, then on the 11th of Feb. Now all services are down as they were here and changed cable outside.

  • elysian_132 Elysian (@elysian_132) reported

    @virginmedia I appreciate that but you really, really need to fix the tech support. The line quality to the guys in India is atrocious and it makes understanding them practically impossible as it sounds like they’re constantly driving through a tunnel on a mobile or something.
