    @virginmedia is there a known issue in the BN2 6 area of Brighton with your broadband? Crashed at 14:30 and hub seems to be unable to rejoin the network...

  • Sacto_King_UK
    Danny Williamson (@Sacto_King_UK) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia Don’t you think a courtesy message to say they’re off shift now? All email communication suddenly stopped, with no explanation 2 days ago. And I’m still waiting. I’d like to raise a complaint now please, this has been going on for almost 3 weeks now.

  • indiointernet
    Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Thank you @virginmedia you are yet again delivering an unacceptable service! Broadband intermittent, cant work, nothing on a status update, yet an apology on front of the phone message. I've had better connectivity in a Sri Lankan jungle.

  • Sacto_King_UK
    Danny Williamson (@Sacto_King_UK) reported from Worthing, England

    @virginmedia It’s not working. You’re welcome to call me. I’m quite friendly

  • indiointernet
    Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia getting somewhat irked at the constant failure in the delivery of your services. And please don't apologise, it won't fix the broadband issue. You are now costing me money. This is not ideal. It's time for me to find a company that can deliver reliable broadband.

    @virginmedia Engineer Thursday. Not good enough really, had an engineer Saturday, problem still here if not worse, and being told to WFH due to heat. Cannot not be speeded up?

  • FragileCreature
    Fragile Creatures (@FragileCreature) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    I've been waiting 2+ hours for a response over WhatsApp from @virginmedia 3 hours since first trying to reach them with Broadband down. Can't work, starting to think they just don't employ any staff. Second time I've had negligent service from them. Looking elsewhere asap.

    @virginmedia I’ve been promised a call back from Virgin media 6 or 7 times in the last 6 days No one called me back I was told by Virgin Media to raise a complaint, so I did. The lady who took my complaint promised to call me back yesterday She didn’t Worst customer service

  • dizzymabil
    ydnam (@dizzymabil) reported from Sompting, England

    @virginmedia Seems its all over the area. Dozens of posts on local SM pages, people without service since late last night. Can't wait to change providers, to a company that actually supply what I pay for

  • wavell_mark
    Junior (@wavell_mark) reported from Hove, England

    @virginmedia how come after nearly 3 days is my internet not working?? How do I claim compensation for this??

  • garypleece
    Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia No it was the ‘general area fix’ (my engineer was cancelled by Virgin) which was then followed up with an email that said ‘everything is sorted’ which it was, until today when it was in and out again for hours. It’s ok now, but for how long?

  • melon_h
    Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia This is still appalling customer service. I have to register (I did this when things were down in Dec for almost 72 hours), I have to alert etc you are the service provider. How is it good CS that we assume you are lying in estimates? No compensation for Dec either.

  • mejones2121
    Michael Jones (@mejones2121) reported from Woodingdean, England

    @virginmedia no internet or phone line yet again. The worst service from a provider I've ever had. #internet #internetshutdown

  • garypleece
    Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia So… are you saying work is being carried out today. Wait until tomorrow and then if still bad book an engineer? I can live with that. But the person I spoke to had no idea about that and just booked an engineer again. Can I ask have other people raised area issues?

  • garypleece
    Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Hi, the interruption is ongoing so I’m guessing we have faulty equipment? When I go onto the website it tells me to ‘reset’ which I do and it works for a while then goes wrong again. Can we sort a new router? Is that the issue?

  • garypleece
    Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Same, slow and occasionally dropping out

  • AnneWebb777
    Anne Webb (@AnneWebb777) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia what the hell is wrong with your system. Impossible to report a fault! No contact available just going round in circles. Landline not worked for a week now 🤬 you really are the pits, can’t even cancel this crappy service £109.75 paid this month!!!!

  • garypleece
    Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Called and no issues. It has to be equipment, right? There’s an option to ‘test hub’ on that link but it just goes to an invalid page. I’ve been patient for a few weeks now, but I’m finding it hard to remain so! Trying to work like this is impossible

    @virginmedia my internet has gone offline again , supposed to be fix in 6 hrs, do we live in a third world country now.

  • nrpoole
    Nick Poole (@nrpoole) reported

    @virginmedia I can't log into my a/c. I know my email address but, when entered, I reach a page saying that there has been a 'quick pause to keep my account safe' followed by some unhelpful suggestions and a reference: IDF-12B. The help & bot are useless. Can you help, please?

  • paz565
    Paz DLXV (@paz565) reported

    @O2 The whole 'customer service' provided by O2 in relation to this matter has been nothing short of appalling. As O2 is now associated with Virgin Media, I will be taking the earliest opportunity available to switch the services I have with them too.

    @Mickskinz @DavidPNoble63 They will enforce it with isp's quite easily. Just fine virgin media if they fail to act on frequent ip address switching

    @virginmedia Ok which area was that, You've not asked, it's clear your customer service levels are poor!

    Disaster has struck the Brander household. The internet is down. Virgin Media said it could be up to 24 hours til they find/fix the fault. This is when you realise that the internet makes everything work, or not work.

  • murdocke
    Murdocke (@murdocke) reported

    @virginmedia your broadband has gotten noticeably bad these last few years, you used to be impeccable but now there’s always some fault you can’t fix and it gets pushed back again and again. ******** has happened to you? Your engineers lately are ******* shite. (Customer for 25 years)
