  • charlie_morrow Charlie Morrow (@charlie_morrow) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia having wifi problems in SE London. What’s the issue @virginmedia ?

  • IanBorrett ian (@IanBorrett) reported from Lambeth, England

    Guess what? Yes, @virginmedia is down again. I have no idea what I have done to them but they are treating me like I'm a c**t. Since 12 Feb I can count the days of adequate service on one hand. What an embarrassment of a company.

  • bazelrock Paul Berry (@bazelrock) reported from Tottenham, England

    @sainsburys Update, it might be @virginmedia with the problem.

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

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

  • PinkDotty_Sarah Sarah Yard (@PinkDotty_Sarah) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Thank you but we have complained and no response. We are with you because you offer 200Mb and we need that, the closest competitor offers only 60Mb. It’s frustrating that we are paying for a service that is not guaranteed

  • 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.

  • AndrewLorimer11 Andrew Lorimer (@AndrewLorimer11) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia third consecutive evening with broadband outage SM6 #NotGoodEnough

  • PinkDotty_Sarah Sarah Yard (@PinkDotty_Sarah) reported from London, England

    I have noticed a lot of people complain about the service received from @virginmedia for broadband. @Ofcom please can you look into this? We pay for a service that has constantly let us down for many months.

  • ReedGooner 🔴📖⚪️ (@ReedGooner) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Simply put, the sales person missold the package and I’m now being told I’m not entitled to what I was promised at point of sale. Send me a DM and I will provide the complaint reference.

  • 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.

  • billosmond bill osmond (@billosmond) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia The really annoying thing is that ever since I got an email from @virginmedia telling me that I will now be receiving improved, super fast broadband - the service has deteriorated considerably.

  • LynetteSzeto Lynette Szeto-Martinez (@LynetteSzeto) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Done a service rest of area, say no. My router diagnostic says there is a problem.

  • 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.

  • PinkDotty_Sarah Sarah Yard (@PinkDotty_Sarah) reported from London, England

    Anyone have constant issues with @virginmedia we pay for 200Mb super fast broadband. We are in Bromley. Over the last year we have had nothing but issues and no matter how many times we make contact we get fobbed off. We are paying for a service that cannot deliver. Anyone else?

  • GoldBoutique1 Mary (@GoldBoutique1) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia thank you again for no service and intermittent internet non stop now fir ongoing 2 weeks can’t you just find fault and fix it not happy so frustrating 🤬🤬

  • 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.

  • LynetteSzeto Lynette Szeto-Martinez (@LynetteSzeto) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have this app, have scanned. Sometimes coverage is bad.

  • 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.

  • andyshem Andy Shemilt (@andyshem) reported from Eltham, England

    @virginmedia Hello, can someone from cancellations call me please? The automated customer call line hangs up on me!! Broadband service is absolute rubbish - intermittent and slow and distance limited when it is working

  • pack_lambeau RP (@pack_lambeau) reported

    @virginmedia Gone again tonight! Currently not getting any broadband again. Can you arrange contact me and someone to call me please. This is getting ridiculous now. I shouldn’t have to constantly chase you for giving me poor service.

  • NW6Rd Darlink 🔗 (@NW6Rd) reported

    Sooo... VirginMedia is down again #NW6

  • Michael_Maud M i k e (@Michael_Maud) reported

    @virginmedia any help? Currently getting speed results of 50mbps after factory resetting my router... still below the ‘guaranteed’ minimum, and the phones are too busy

  • Kingsprink Richard hartill (@Kingsprink) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia good evening, after spending the last two night trying to call and being cut off now twice at the 1 hour 45 mins point. How on earth do I cancel my premier sports 🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • AdamAndrews17 Adam Andrews (@AdamAndrews17) reported

    @virginmedia oh yeah and when i go online for help about the error - its not helpful in anyway. turning the box off and on has not solved my issue and i’d like to speak to a human

  • Caroline_j_k Caroline Moore (@Caroline_j_k) reported

    @virginmedia No it has not been sorted, seriously what it going with your customer service?

  • mark_impactedu Mark Morren (@mark_impactedu) reported

    @virginmedia I appreciate your reply but I say again. This issue is street wide not just affecting me. This makes doing my online teaching job a total nightmare. All I want is for virgin media to be clear that an issue is fixed when it is and also when it isn’t

  • cosmicgirlie Jay Émme, BA (Hons), MA (Dist) (@cosmicgirlie) reported

    Ok, @virginmedia users. Has your internet been an absolute donkey since Lockdown 3.0? Whilst I have fairly good ideas as to why it’s so bad, I’m seriously wanting to believe it’s not just my household, despite #VirginMedia saying there are no noted problems anywhere.

  • shanejackman23 Shane Jackman (@shanejackman23) reported

    @virginmedia Friday 22nd Jan I was hoping there was a way to fix it before he comes out
