  • 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

    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. 👍

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia I have checked and there are no faults. I am still having issues over a week later and this is totally unacceptable! Two children trying to take part of zoom lessons which they keep dipping in and out of as the connection just keeps dropping! Unable to get through to you on 150

  • 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?

  • elaine_leggatt Elaine Leggatt (@elaine_leggatt) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Moving house. Used the chat stream give all my details then no one answers when moved on. Get on the phone to he told ring back . Ring later then get cut off twice after long wait. I hope you will not charge me more for the service I am trying to sort 😡😡

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

    @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.

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

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

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia So what can be done to improve the technical issues we are having? Could it be our equipment?

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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 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!

  • 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). 🙄

  • MrsDyer25 Laura Dyer (@MrsDyer25) reported from Great Baddow, England

    @virginmedia Yes and I am doing it again now. No network issue has been found

  • Charms64 Charmaine Rhule (@Charms64) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Last 24hrs no Internet connection Carshalton Beeches/Sutton household- poor reason given why did it happier my question

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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....

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

    @virginmedia Just rcvd text to say investigating network problem instead, so you've postponed visit. Your netwrk is great when working, but you really need to sort out Cust Srvc because it causes very damaging press on closed group social media. You need to "Think Customer's Perspective"!

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

    @virginmedia It came back as per Virgin's text then the Broadband fell over again Sat pm. Then became intermittent. Seems to be ok at the moment. Loads of problems since Christmas but no refunds. Its not good!
