@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.

@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

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. 👍

@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?

@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). 🙄

@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?

@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....

@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?

@virginmedia No. That's the earliest they can come. But, the real problem isn't the router. The network's been flakey since Christmas, (couldn't watch your UHD channels) & worse this last week until today when it all completely fell over.

@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.

@virginmedia Have done. It is now coming up that there is an issue in our area. Seeing as this happens everyday, when will this long term issue be sorted out? I have a job and I now can’t do any work

@virginmedia Wireless. Network/service down in the area. It’s gone again today. I’m not sure why I pay £62 for a service I can barely use. I can’t seem to speak to anyone anymore on phones either to lodge a complaint

@virginmedia I don’t want an apology, when is an engineer coming to sort the issue out for good?

@virginmedia Internet going down for over an hour before it comes back online at least once every single day isn’t fixing it

@virginmedia Internet service keeps cutting out, and has been doing so a lot over the last two weeks. What’s going on?

(@maccsiccar) reported
@virginmedia Can someone not call me as I’m a paying customer waiting months to get service. This should have been escalated. Shocking customer service and you continue to charge a fortune for zero service. I’d expect this to be a priority.

@virginmedia No, thank you. I don't think it's a Virgin issue. Almost all music TV channels are broadcasting The Box instead of usual selection.

@virginmedia ‘No known issues’ despite it being off for an hour now. How can I report this and get an engineer out? It’s been happening since we got the flat a month ago…. everything online just tells you to reset it etc
