@virginmedia, I can't get through when phoning customer services! Just an engaged tone. First time in 13 years. What's going on? Trying to find out more about a broadband issue in BN1 #brighton.

@virginmedia fix has been pushed back to tomorrow now. Can't get through to a human on your phone number. Utter joke especially when so many have to work from home at the moment like my partner. 🤬

@virginmedia still no working phone line no working tv service I’ve had enough of this appalling service and either this gets resolved by today or I’m going to sky as a customer of 13 years with you It’s now getting pointless having your services as they don’t work I’m paying

@virginmedia Will I have to wait up to an hour if I dial this number before anyone answers? Also last time I spoke to someone they said they couldn’t do anything as I had raised a complaint. I just seem to go round in circles instead of getting it sorted!

@virginmedia hi, I’ve tried to contact via chat as I can’t call and I wait about an hour then give up, is there anyway someone can help me on here?

@AFCGoonerPaul @DawesNina @virginmedia Don’t get excited, my kit rebooted about an hour ago by itself then went back into not working straight away

@virginmedia Looked for a moment like it was back, both the TiVo and router self restarted - is this meant to happen as part of work that may be being done?, unfortunately hasn’t resulted in restoration of service. Confirmed on service page it’s still an outage in the area

@dazzleeds @virginmedia That’s because the router will auto connect without password to show you a diagnostics page to let you self test for issues (no good here as it’s on VM side) once service is back the router will resume normal security mode

@Ben76593214 @virginmedia Where are you getting these “rumours” or are you making it up? Granted Virgin are unhelpful in communicating & keep moving the resolution time (but not until it’s almost reached)

@virginmedia Are you able to advise IF this is going to be fixed, yesterday you said by 10am today. Then 2pm,6pm & now 10am tomorrow - could live with the loss of either service but it’s really impacting not having either!

@billy2plus5 @caravanions @virginmedia I've been with BT for years. The usual tussle when the contract is up and had cause to complain a couple of times about billing mistakes but service wise, no issues at all.

@virginmedia If you read back, I already mentioned that I had done do. Hence the speed test that I performed. Look, I mean no disrespect but your service is a bit of a joke. I couldn't even get through on the phone! Engaged tone for 2hours. Thankfully, things seem ok today.

Stop sending bigger bills & threatening emails @virginmedia @libertyglobal & sort things out! Account cancelled & services stopped on 18.10 but you are billing me from 19.10 despite no services! Impossible to speak to you & complaint sent not yet resolved.

@virginmedia Without internet for 5 days and your engineer is only available to come out a week from now. Typical virgin media. Worst internet and worst service

@virginmedia I've tried for over a year now to cancel my contract, you haven't connected me to your broadband, one of your agents said to me over half a year ago that's done. Now I get an email stating I've signed a new contract and again nobody wants to listen

Hey @virginmedia, what the heck is going on with your broadband service at the moment in the SM4 area? Has been terrible for the ladt couple of weeks. Intermittent service makes it hard to WfH. No service at all this morning. Time for a change I think

@virginmedia I handed in my one month's notice on 23/10. You said you'd resolve the issue before the month lapses or I'd be entitled to leave penalty free. One month lapsed and still nothing. I contacted you on 23/11, to be told someone will get back to me but I'm still waiting.

@virginmedia The problems I was having with router last month (where I couldn’t get on at all) seem to be cured when I disconnected the coaxial cable and reconnected it before the splitter. But that may have been a coincidence
