    @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.

  • goonergeek2000 Gary Thompson (@goonergeek2000) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia right I’ve just about had enough of virgin customer services. Cancelled service on 10 December. Today find out account is live after logging in. On hold four times for over 45 minutes. Latest on hold for 1hr 19 minutes. Call gets answered then cut off! What the hell

  • 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?

  • lonewharf Kos Skassis (@lonewharf) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I have no broadband service, in DA7 area. Is there an issue in the area.?

  • MFC_Steve Steve (@MFC_Steve) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Do you know your phone lines are down ?

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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....

  • 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?

  • MFC_Steve Steve (@MFC_Steve) reported from Romford, England

    @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

  • 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. 👍

  • lonewharf Kos Skassis (@lonewharf) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia 2 hours of no broadband. Got text to say services back up. Its now gone offline again, but your service status says everything is fine in the area 😞😞

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

    @Thecarmagdriver @virginmedia 1) ISP hardware is total shite (Virgin in Particular) don’t use it. It is worth what you paid for it £0. 2) Draytek router and Ruckus wifi (connected via Cat6) is what you need to distribute throughout house (a single WiFi point is never going to work)! 3) it will cost money!

  • MFC_Steve Steve (@MFC_Steve) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Hi - I am trying to get into contact with you but the phone line is dead and you are not answering the message service. How can I speak to someone ?

  • Caleb_Parker 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐛 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫 🚀 (@Caleb_Parker) reported from London, England

    @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.

  • 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

  • AndythePlank TheTraveller🇬🇧 (@AndythePlank) reported from South Ockendon, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia trying to home school our child, WiFi is crap!
