  • czar_nik Dr Nick (@czar_nik) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hello, our Internet has been down for over 4 hours now in Barking. Is there any update on this or when we can expect to have functional Internet back? Its not the first time this has happened and we're reaching the end of our tether!

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I had a letter saying work was being done on 26th August and may effect broadband but since then the internet keeps going down intermittently throughout day ? No issues listed online can you check if work still being done as I am wfh post code SE39lr

  • spookyjulie Sarah Elizabeth Cox (@spookyjulie) reported from London, England

    @CateSevilla @virginmedia They then tried to fine me for not sending their 'hub' back and refused to refund the house move cost I'd paid a few months earlier. So so incompetent! SO stressful when all of us work from home too. I moved to TalkTalk & is cheaper and no problems so far, at least :)

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

    Hey @virginmedia are there problems in #Lewisham? My WiFi keeps dropping out regularly. Tried ringing CS. Closed.

  • PeterSexton14 Peter Sexton (@PeterSexton14) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Service has been fixed now. All working

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Ok so I need to arrange another visit I won’t be contacted? Can you see how bad this looks? Now I’ll be in London I need to arrange someone to be there to let an engineer in unless there is a smaller window

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia I used to be a customer before moving to Lewisham and left them because I was getting about 10% of the contracted speed and they were taking months to resolve it. They ended up admitting it was oversubscription.

  • Bytor14 Andy TTID (@Bytor14) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @SpursAngel50 @virginmedia They have been awful lately with internet connection x

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia That's to discard physical problems with your cable.

  • waabbaC Waqas Abbasi (@waabbaC) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia can someone please contact me, I have had no BB service since Friday. I’m extremely disappointed with ur customer service. I have been trying to get hold off someone from ur customer service since last two weeks with no luck. Your chat bots are useless. #virginmedia

  • Bytor14 Andy TTID (@Bytor14) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    This problem with Internet been going on far too long Whens it gonna be sorted @virginmedia

  • angelosfatclub Angelo (@angelosfatclub) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia you obviously don’t want for appropriate new customers. Been on hold for over and hour and been lied to by you pre-install team. The worst experience I have ever had.

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia Don't mention the word WiFi, your problem is the WAN connection. Plug you laptop via the LAN cable when testing / calling them.

  • DebsySmith Debs smith (@DebsySmith) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia still have bad single on my mobile? New contract, beginning to wonder why!!! Can you help me pls

  • turboeddie08 Eddie Seber (@turboeddie08) reported from London, England

    Virgin TV GO app down @virginmedia

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia The people on first line support are there to filter out the most obvious problems (wrong password, equipment not plugged or faulty, etc). Your goal noe is to prove that it's not your fault (device configuration, weak WiFi, etc).

  • DebsySmith Debs smith (@DebsySmith) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia need to find out who to contact about bad single on my mobile????

  • czar_nik Dr Nick (@czar_nik) reported from London, England

    .@virginmedia it's now 9 hours plus and still no response. Rubbish service as usual from Virgin

  • jorgeml Jorge Martínez López (@jorgeml) reported from London, England

    @JamesJWalsh @virginmedia The router has a couple of pages that are useful, one has the logs (check the error timestamp matches when your connection went down). There is also a more technical page that shows the uplink / downlink channels, have a look and check there is some voltage on them.

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Hi my internet is down again tried rebooting but still down and says no issues when done online check? Can you help as wfh so need back ASAP for Monday

    @mickeyc84 @virginmedia That’s customer service for you. Can’t cancel if they don’t pick up.

  • mickeyc84 Michael Curtis (@mickeyc84) reported

    @virginmedia I'm stuck on hold? Not sure what I can really add about my 'experience'. 40 minutes of terrible hold music now.

  • wemblystiggs wemblystiggs 🏳️‍🌈 (@wemblystiggs) reported

    @virginmedia trying to cancel my package as you no longer seem to reward loyalty but going back down the route of worrying about new customers over existing with your package prices. I cancelled last week and gave my 30 days notice.

  • anneskeen1 anne skeen (@anneskeen1) reported

    @virginmedia I have on line trying to sort out my contact for 3 hours why. If it’s not sorted in the next 30 mins I will cancel

  • justperrett1 justperrett (@justperrett1) reported

    @virginmedia my broadband is down in Bh76qj and when I use my app to check my status it say an error has occurred please try later, what’s that mean, I know there’s an error I have no broadband what I want to know is for how long 😤

  • dougliano Peter Douglas (@dougliano) reported

    @virginmedia Never got started, you messed up the installation, refused to answer phone calls, emails and letters and in the ended I had to claim money from you…awful company luckily I avoided deal with you long term….not surprised he is pissed with customer service, it’s non existent

  • stroooonach Rob 3000 (@stroooonach) reported

    @virginmedia how do I speak to someone on the phone about my broadband outage that’s now in its 4th day? No phone number online.

  • Liam_McGroarty Liam McGroarty (@Liam_McGroarty) reported

    @virginmedia The customer service advisor told me they had to call me back to arrange my move of address of my virgin package. No idea why we couldn't do it there and then over the phone they didn't explain that?

  • ollyg300 Drill up V.Roy🦅 (@ollyg300) reported

    I wonder what’s causing the most problems @TPLINK or @virginmedia

  • mickeyc84 Michael Curtis (@mickeyc84) reported

    @virginmedia I'd love to speak to them. I'm on the 20th loop of the same 3 awful hold music songs. There's nothing more on this planet I want more than to talk to them.
