  • londonpommie Paul N (@londonpommie) reported from London, England

    Wake up to another morning of no service from @virginmedia @ThreeUK please get 5G rolled out so I can cancel this awful service.

  • _euanwilson Euan Wilson (@_euanwilson) reported from London, England

    One of the only important zoom meetings I have this week, actually an online seminar I’ve paid for and obviously @virginmedia has gone down... wonderful

  • 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

  • chadoneit Charlie Done It. (@chadoneit) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia help, your internet has cut out again #unreliable #badservice

  • TomMcKCharity Tom McKenzie (@TomMcKCharity) reported from London, England

    Hey @virginmedia, internet down for awhile now and your service checker isn't working. Not the first time recently.

  • FionaGraham Fiona Graham (@FionaGraham) reported from London, England

    @ProfWoodward @virginmedia I can believe it. That’s outrageous - and clearly they don’t need the business. Which given the expense of their broadband + TV package seems about right. If it’s any consolation - it’s down a lot, and the speed we get is constantly being throttled, even before covid.

  • lee_hewitt lee hewitt (@lee_hewitt) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia seem to have no WiFi this morning in se7 area do you know if there is a problem

  • RogerCole10135 roger cole (@RogerCole10135) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia we done that, all connections are in to the box, your company network thinks that we are connected via router this not so, but has a cable run into the house.

  • bazzau73 🍩🍩🍩Barrie⚽⚽⚽ (@bazzau73) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Not sure what this will do. There has been regular outages in the area for over a week. Your call centre told me today that this should now be fixed and will not reoccur. We will see if this is the case when the service eventually returns.

  • bazzau73 🍩🍩🍩Barrie⚽⚽⚽ (@bazzau73) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia And its gone again. Really is an awful service. Your status page is not in real time as i speak to your operators who confirm an outage but your status page says everything is fine

  • johnperreira john perreira (@johnperreira) reported from Basildon, England

    @simon_perreira @virginmedia Go with @NOWTV bruv.. never had a major problem with their service and you get a few tv channels thrown in as well.. when ever there has been a outside problem it been sorted in days.. oh and it def be 💯 cheaper than @virginmedia #Cowboys

  • 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.

  • matthewcarter7 Matthew Carter (@matthewcarter7) reported from London, England

    @giltranator @virginmedia Solution is an exchange based internet service provider. BT etc...

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

    @virginmedia Well surprise surprise. The WiFi is down again. 6 weeks in a row. Call Centre hing yo when passing my call to a manager. Poor service. This is now unacceptable. How do I complain (other than @Ofcom) about this poor service. Why is the service so awful now.

  • ferdi_rezvan Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia are there known issues in the SE3 area. My broadband is not working and the service status page does not and the virgin media support phone line is not able to take calls

  • 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...

  • ferdi_rezvan Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia are there known problems in the SE3 area.. the service status page doesn't work either

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

    @virginmedia An engineer will be sent on Saturday. Second one in a week. Trying to use the chat function to load get a complaint and it disconnects. The agents do not seem keen on taking a complaint. I have been happish with tservice for few years now but it has deteriorated in last 6 weeks

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

    @virginmedia Seems it has started to go wrong yet again - 6 weeks of poor service so far.

  • benhowlettuk Ben Howlett (@benhowlettuk) reported from London, England

    Exceedingly grumpy that I have chosen @virginmedia for my broadband - busy day of the year and my inet is down 🤬

  • Rangerfc1882 Ranger1882 (@Rangerfc1882) reported

    @virginmedia Hello John I’ve been waiting since 1:40 pm and I’m still waiting for my issues to be solved.

  • JuniorCartxer 𝕁𝕚𝕟 𝕂𝕒𝕫𝕒𝕞𝕒.🅴🇯🇲 (@JuniorCartxer) reported

    @virginmedia Your colleague from the complaints department called Hazel has finally resolved my issue after more than 12 months.

  • allhailtwit Allan Hailstone (not Alan) (@allhailtwit) reported

    @Martin_Mac_R @virginmedia One of the best things I did in 2018 was move from Virgin Media, with their constant outages and "an engineer is on the way" standard messages. Their "ultra-fast speed" is totally unnecessary, unless you are the sort of person who takes a Ferrari to the chip shop down the road.

  • Hanif_A3 Hanif (@Hanif_A3) reported

    @virginmedia Hello GT - no engineer arrived today. Just tried to call your customer service number, and got cut off after confirming my details.

  • neiceynoo95 Neicey (@neiceynoo95) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service team are an absolute joke! To think I left your service and came back for what?

  • EmmaKWhite Emma White (@EmmaKWhite) reported

    @virginmedia Our internet speed continually drops to the point it almost not working. I’ve tried running a test in the hub from your website and it can never connect to run the check. We’re paying for 100mb and I don’t see how we are getting near that when our service continually fails

  • erasmus_hazel Hazel Erasmus (@erasmus_hazel) reported

    @virginmedia @JuniorCartxer Old customers never get offers. They are ‘saved’ for new customers only. Old customers just pay and pay more to support the new deals. Pure Greed!

  • dave_hwd David Howard (@dave_hwd) reported

    @dazzauk1966 @virginmedia So what discount can we expect from lack of service, currently on the second stretch of 8 days with no TV.

  • VanessaParnell victoria 💜 (@VanessaParnell) reported

    @virginmedia so far I have only waited 50 minutes on your customer service line for help with my broadband?? #terriblecustomerservice

  • champ_warrior1 Chris (@champ_warrior1) reported

    @virginmedia just had a email regarding a disgusting £8.50 a month increase from March safe to say you've now lost a customer well done virgin
