    Bunch of cowboys at #virginmedia internet down again. Jokers fix your **** service.

  • goonerlgh Lawrence Hooker (@goonerlgh) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I rang back until the office was open. Router being changed (after reporting problems for several months) My tweet was to say it'd be good if the answerphone message gave the Opening time so people know when to call back...

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia hiya, another night of constant router/connection restarts and problems. Multiple engineer visits, senior engineer visits, call centre calls, new router and £160+ a month down the drain. I don’t want to switch provider but you’re not leaving me much option

  • andycairns Andy Cairns (@andycairns) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia No service again in RM2. Last speed test showed 3mbps when I’m paying for 500. Only option to cancel my account involves sitting on a premium rate number for an unspecified length of time. This is awful service.

  • mrgeemore Gee Darguzas (@mrgeemore) reported from London, England

    I think the internet is down yet again in eltham. Are the any known issues going on? @virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia What a surprise had internet from midnight and now it has stopped again. Waiting to get through to support and on hold safe for 30 minutes. You must be making a fortune on people calling.

    @virginmedia lucky the Paralympians are not relying on your broadband which is down how long this time?

  • InkredibleBulk kurtis deakin (@InkredibleBulk) reported

    @virginmedia Ia appreciate the apology but an honest estimate of time and what's happening would help? Cos sorry doesn't help me. I rely on the Internet to work and when out I rely on it for the cameras so I can keep an eye on my elderly dementia parent.

  • merlinwardcom Merlin Ward (@merlinwardcom) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you... I managed to speak to Virgin and it seems i was locked out owing to multiple attempts to access my email account. It must've been a hacker. Thank you for your help. It's all okay, now.

  • abritty21 Andrew Brito-Coll (@abritty21) reported

    @virginmedia have to say, probably the worse company I've ever dealt with. Operators are useless & service is appalling

  • M4rky Mark Houghton (@M4rky) reported

    @virginmedia No, there never is. Just my router restarts and i get an error in the logs. After a few minutes it then restarts and i get connected.

  • anna_down Anna (@anna_down) reported

    @virginmedia @k_a_murray @virginmedia have you ever tried to speak to your installation team? I just kept getting transferred to “someone who can help” who clearly in fact every time was just someone else to transfer me to - and had to repeat account details and my tale of woe again. Just gave up

  • SketchMM Sketch Kanczuk Socialist no longer Labour member. (@SketchMM) reported

    Seems virgin media server was sending my emails even though I'm now with Sky who don't supply email service anymore so I was told. But I was also told I could take my virgin email with me to sky. Have just found out only for 90 days and then it is disconnected. They wont...
