    @virginmedia You didn’t reach out sadly and I’ve now cancelled the installation. Having spoken to someone clearly at home with her baby screaming in the background I have zero confidence that you are able to help us.

    Virgin Media - you've started with your poor connection bollocks again? It's been a good few month. You were doing well. #VirginMedia #SW11

    Dr Mantis Toboggan M.D. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇪🇺 (@DazzlingHamster) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Your status and service checkers aren’t working. There is clearly a problem, somebody please offer assistance and not meaningless and not working URLs

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @BigupJeff @virginmedia Yeah, unfortunately. We are okay with the service, that’s why we kept it in the new one, but the customer service is a joke. Had @Hyperoptic once, was absolutely brilliant. Too bad it’s rarely available.

  • iamAleFerrara
    Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia No, no one has ever used my email to login on your forums. In the meantime it’s DAY 6 with no Internet service, good job Virgin in supporting us fixing this 👍🏼

    Befitat50 (@befitat50) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia Still bad this morning and seems as if no one from your side @virginmedia cares about it at all.. What should I do? Leave you guys..

  • SustyPhilC
    Phil ******* (@SustyPhilC) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia any idea what’s going on with the network please? Can you at least make a statement? It’s been down since around 2am or thereabouts!

  • JaneCommon
    Jane Common (@JaneCommon) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia I haven’t but everybody in my area having problems and we are all fuming.

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @atnori_ @virginmedia Yep, experienced just recently :D I am an extremely patient person… I properly lost it today 🙃 At least the damn thing is cancelled though.

  • rhymerrigby
    Rhymer Rigby (@rhymerrigby) reported from London, England

    @scribblercat @virginmedia The frequency of posts like this is why I'll never leave BT. IME, they're reliable and I care about that far more than speed, price, etc.

  • KateRenton
    Mrs R (@KateRenton) reported from Merton, England

    @Chelsea1504 @virginmedia That’s why we got rid of ALL providers, the customer service and costs were awful.

  • ravinrr80
    Ravin 🇹🇹🇬🇧 (@ravinrr80) reported from Merton, England

    Hey @virginmedia I already am paying more with this new package I was forced to take to renew my contract recently and now you want to force me to pay £7 MORE a month?! Also why can I not get a human on the phone?! I refuse to pay a penny more. Fix this nonsense.

  • Ivan_Petrov
    Ivan L Petrov 伊凡🇺🇦 (@Ivan_Petrov) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia Is there an outage in SW4? I checked the online status on your webpage, but it says there are no issues and yet I do not have internet at home.

  • JackEORobinson
    Jack Robinson (@JackEORobinson) reported from Wandsworth, England

    Hi @virginmedia, are there problems in the SW17 area? Your service status page isn't loading.

  • kaybaka
    Kay Bak (@kaybaka) reported from Camberwell, England

    @Barclays why do I keep getting Error Code: 30915? I’ve been trying to log into my account for a LONG while now!! Coz of not having access @virginmedia have been stealing DD from my account even though I no lover have a subscription with them! Pls fix this b4 more money is taken!

  • GaborPfalzer
    Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @AbzAaron @virginmedia Even better… if you don’t play along, nobody else will cancel it. You can’t even hang up on the sales pitch.

  • Lozraus
    Rex (@Lozraus) reported from London, England

    @_MxMike @virginmedia It’s been down for us since 1am 😫

  • JaneCommon
    Jane Common (@JaneCommon) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia It obviously is an area issue as we have an area WhatsApp group and everyone’s internet is down: but I don’t have time to call as I have appointments all afternoon and knowi will be stuck in a queue for an hour minimum. Can you email to alert them to the issue???

  • markatpt
    Mark Armstrong (@markatpt) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia you have now postponed an installation scheduled for 4th November to Christmas Eve! Can’t see that happening. Maybe someone actually based in the UK might bother to contact me about this? Minded to cancel otherwise. Not acceptable service.
