  • Adrianmilesarch Adrian Miles (@Adrianmilesarch) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Service status says no known issues but when I call over the phone an automated message refers to intermittent problems last two days and that engineers are taking a long time to fix complex problems. Currently ok but recently every day there is a long period of issues.

  • CheukRuby Ruby Lau (@CheukRuby) reported from London, England

    Internet is down since 1am this morning @virginmedia Reset hub but no use...... My virgin media showing no service outage in my area.......

  • walshChanny Channy (@walshChanny) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia That is what happened. If it didn’t happened to you it is even more strange. Do you want me to do it again and record it? In the meantime, I was contacted today and agreed a way forwards to stay with VM. It is quite hard to have to deal with bad customer care while grieving.

  • hannahdenise91 Hannah (@hannahdenise91) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Moved in over a week ago and @SkyUK say it’s still going to be another 7-10 working days before we get wifi- shocking service as new customers who are now having to spend a fortune hot spotting data working from home. Calling @virginmedia today.

  • bendeguz2701 bendeguz270 (@bendeguz2701) reported from Romford, England

    Virgin media @ I had enough of virgin media enough wish they stopped calling fro. Call centre never never answer call from v media outside Europe

  • chinaheart7 Karen Louise 💙💞🌈🙏 (@chinaheart7) reported from Dartford, England

    @Matthew_Wright @virginmedia Go to BT. Never had any BS from them.

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Don’t tell me what to do. I want this tedious issue RESOLVED!

  • steve01395341 steve (@steve01395341) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia There is nothing with service could I have a hub 3 ??

  • peteholbrook Peter Holbrook (he) (@peteholbrook) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Just dialled1471 The originating number was 01424 850444 does that help?

  • AdiStaempfli Adi Staempfli (@AdiStaempfli) reported from London, England

    I understand it takes time to replace fibre optics. I don‘t understand why @virginmedia sends out messages that are plain wrong. My connection is not working, has not been working ever since Tuesday evening. Is this to avoid having to pay back customers?

  • JamesJWalsh James-J Walsh (@JamesJWalsh) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have been “on hold” since 1851 for a customer service agent. This is kinda cementing my view of needing to leave.

  • Adrianmilesarch Adrian Miles (@Adrianmilesarch) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia broadband has been absolutely dire in the last few weeks. Phases of outage or sun 2mbps speeds. Anyone else experiencing similar in SE26 area? Remember it was around cold snap it got bad - maybe affected the infrastructure.

  • peteholbrook Peter Holbrook (he) (@peteholbrook) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia In relation to a potential weakness in security. I’ve got a retro phone with no caller ID. I have a name, they provided a customer licence number for me to check and to authenticate them as genuine . I have a name and they said they were phoning from Hampshire.

  • steve01395341 steve (@steve01395341) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I’ve never had this problem before

  • steve01395341 steve (@steve01395341) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia The WiFi has problems

  • walshChanny Channy (@walshChanny) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did, a VM agent went through the whole event and resolved it for me. There are thousands of VM customers in a FaceBook group suffering similar problems it is called Virgin Media Customer Service.

  • philipwallingon The Wing Commander (@philipwallingon) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Eventually. I had to ask to talk to customer disconnections before I got a satisfactory response. Technician will call on Wednesday which in fairness is probably as quick a box in the post but with the benefit of a human touch.

  • peteholbrook Peter Holbrook (he) (@peteholbrook) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia had a phone call from Virgin Technical Support. How can i be sure this is genuine ?

  • KBHeadteacher Keith Barr (@KBHeadteacher) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia any chance of connectivity @KenderSchool ... ? Any help would be welcomed, please...

  • steve01395341 steve (@steve01395341) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia No I have hub 2 WiFi (keeps cutting out and slow speeds

    @virginmedia why doni keep getting calls from you on this number only for someone to hang up? 03303035309

  • JessicaaaE Jessica Herrmann (@JessicaaaE) reported

    @virginmedia At home and out and about. Yes, the data is poor and yes I am able to connect to the WiFi.

  • madebydbm DBM Motion Graphics (@madebydbm) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. Looks like the issue is still being worked on.

  • BohnFifty Bohn (@BohnFifty) reported

    @virginmedia I mean personally I'm going to switch to a more efficient and faster ISP because this just made me massively lose faith in the company's capabilities, and as little a difference that may make, it's still a consumer lost, £350 per annum lost from 1 customer, what if it was 1000?

  • clarke004028 Edward Clark (@clarke004028) reported

    @virginmedia I can only assume this is a tactic to attempt to get me not to cancel. Absolutely terrible service.

  • AvocetKeith Keith Wilkins (@AvocetKeith) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently, VM couldnt take a direct debit from the same bank account it has been calling from for the last 2 years..... No details have changed except the ridiculously high monthly package charge and all they can do is cancel the late fee charge... #switchtoSkyASAP

  • UmyKhan_ Umair Khan (@UmyKhan_) reported

    What a horrible service!!. You technician came late after two days to sort the wire then left without internet and your team members are saying the next availability is after 7 days .. @virginmedia @Virgin @AskVirginMoney

  • frontendben Ben Furfie (@frontendben) reported

    @marksuttonbike @virginmedia I feel for you mate. We used to have nothing but headaches with Virgin; and their customer service was trash back then. Outsourced, and powerless. We moved to Sky, and while it's a bit more expensive, anytime we've had an issue, it's been a quick resolution.

  • PiecesofKate Katie Parsons (@PiecesofKate) reported

    @virginmedia It comes up with a known issue when I do it on mobile. It lets me start the process but the button at the end doesn't work.

  • CmdrPauly_C Pauly_C (@CmdrPauly_C) reported

    @virgisnimedia_ this is poor. It’s not even vaguely Virgin is it? This your first time? cc @virginmedia
