    @virginmedia If you were sorry, this issues was fixed long time ago…

    Mark 🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@markselondon) reported from Blackheath, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again this morning in SE London, got through to customer services and they advised the outage expected to be fixed by 12th April. No compensation offered and I would have to pay a penalty to cancel my contract.

    @virginmedia another night not being able to use the platforms I pay for due to crappy service from yourselves

  • jrseloto
    Francisco Soler (Jr) (@jrseloto) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia 11 May - which of course i will cancel today as I’ve had enough of this. too much stress and no TV or internet for 30 days

  • gorgeousuk
    anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia I did and it said the service was ok. It’s now working after several times of going onto Amazon. I just don’t know why the service has become so poor recently

  • anurbanpastor
    Richard Perkins (@anurbanpastor) reported from Bromley, England

    Any particular reason @virginmedia why our broadband has been down all day? It's half term and we're chewing through our mobile data! Be terrific if you could make it right. Pretty sure it's nothing we've done at our end. Big valentine's love.

  • gorgeousuk
    anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia My husband has called because he is the account holder and has a Virgin phone. Virgin apparently will call tonight/tomorrow morning. However, my feeling now is that your service will work for a time and then will go bad, there is a pattern.

    Your website for checking status is not loading. Can you verify if there are known issues with broadband in the se3 area. Thanks @virginmedia

  • Jatkins__
    Josh (@Jatkins__) reported from Camberwell, England

    I never fully realised how poor @virginmedia’s internet coverage was in south london until moving here and I’m now into my second two-day outage in the past month 🙃

  • edshots
    the world's most copied Edward Moore (@edshots) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia The next slot was 28th April which I would not be in and so have taken 5th May. A loyal customer of about 12 years this a complete let down after arranging today from a previous cancellation on your company's part.

    Baz, Wacky worm! (@mobiusb2) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia !this four days in a row now, with Broadband down most of day, down again! Apparently same for neighbour.when will it be fixed! ?

  • AdamJT99
    Adam Thomas (@AdamJT99) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Yes. But that didnt stop you charging me for a full month even though i didn't have service for a full month. Your customer service is appalling, I've complained for years and you make no change or comoensation. You don't care one iota for your customers.

    @virginmedia After 4 months of saying street works on going just got call from @virginmedia construction team that my building is not serviceable and not able to provide service how is this even allowed #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice

    @virginmedia we have had on off outage since last night. The current service status states there are no issues in our area. Our broadband has been down since around 3pm? SE5 postcode

    Joshua Masters🎥 (@joshuamasters_) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia hub still down in SW8 region. Box and hub are on. Ran tests everything fine. Can see WiFi to connect to, but not devices can connect. This started after last nights midnight update it seems.

    @virginmedia @VMSolutions_ hay I just want to transfer the account ownership to my roommate. But I tried to call u three times, each time I hv to wait 2hrs, but no one could help me to solve it, only transfer to other departments, and wait !!!!!!

    @virginmedia letting know that my installation date is moved just before a day of the original date isn't very professional. When you guys fix yourself???

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

    @virginmedia hi, internet down in se5. A bit of a disaster for me as I have so much work on. Could you ask someone to check it?

  • catt_hurman
    Catt Hurman (@catt_hurman) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia you owe me £241.47 in compensation for 45 days without internet service since the start on my contract (22nd July) and the 3 missed engineer appointments. I will be chasing this through @Ofcom. When Will you start providing the service you’re contracted to?

  • catt_hurman
    Catt Hurman (@catt_hurman) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Hi @virginmedia guess what? I still have no wifi. Our 8th engineer visit scheduled for today (this time rescheduled because they needed a permit for the work). Just had a text saying engineer will be here next Tuesday now. Livid does not cut it. What kind of service is this?!

    Sheps (@ShepsSW19) reported

    @virginmedia no Internet or WiFi for 6 weeks. Spent 12+ hours on the phone to customer services on numerous occasions. Promised a cable installation on 3 seperate occasions now, not once has someone turned up. Lies. Broken promises and woeful customer service. Not good enough 😡

  • old_stephen
    Stephen Old German - English Translator (@old_stephen) reported

    @virginmedia You don't have nearly enough proper shops, or even telephone help lines, where I can get help with your products. Now you have made it even more difficult for me to log into my account online. What is the point of being a Virgin customer?

  • SprocketEtQuill
    Sam Greenland (@SprocketEtQuill) reported

    @virginmedia Another Virgin Media engineer came out again to bury the cable from house to street. The cable is now in trunking over ground and the internet service was severed. You have said it will take yet another on-site engineer to fix the connection and left me without a connection for the week - until an engineer is available. You have, however, paid £100 towards the cost of the alternative internet provider. Your logic was £30 for data (on a #GiffGaff SIM card which I chose) and £70 for a dongle. I bought a £120 4G modem for external use that connects directly to my #Unifi switch on WAN2, bypassing your hub altogether and giving a connection back to my whole house rather than just one computer with a USB port. Given it's taken since November to bury this cable, I'm not convinced tomorrow's engineer will be able to fix the connection or bury the cable. We will see how the day unfolds. Your contact centre staff all aim to be very helpful, and your service (when it's working) does provide a decent connection most of the time, but your implementation is lacking.

    Steve Furniss (@SteveFurni7742) reported

    @virginmedia Having spent 90 minutes awaiting a call at 8am without any response this morning & viewing your very poor chat bot service, i have to say your customer service is now the poorest ever from an existing customer of over 30 years. I will try again on sunday to resolve my issue

  • kevin0403
    Kevin Burke (@kevin0403) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell me what your issue is? Over a week to try and speak to someone and no further forward, currently been in a queue for over 3hrs?

  • Samina_masood3
    Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported

    @VirginMedia We’ve had complete loss of internet since 2/5/26 due to broken cable, yet no proper fix or technician visit despite repeated promises. Instead, you sent someone to “clean router” & logged it as speed issue not total outage. This is unacceptable. Plz resolve urgently.
