  • EmsAlice Ems ☾ (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia We managed to get through to your team on the phone yesterday and they said they will call us back. It started working again yesterday evening but it’s an on and off problem we have had for weeks so needs looking into properly which I hope will happen soon.

  • wmatthew Will Matthews (@wmatthew) reported from Fleet, England

    @virginmedia is there a bandwidth issue in the network? I’m in Fleet, Hampshire #patchy #slow

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Hi AR, I was given no time at all, only that there were ongoing issues the last two weeks then he said 7-10 days. He said you were working on it, it would be fixed but no timescale. 15 days of unreliable BB is awful. Have had 100% outages of up to 36 hours.

  • paulpavli Paul (@paulpavli) reported from Slough, England

    @virginmedia Been trying to speak to someone the last two day. Was told yesterday (when I did get through) that broadband was ok ( clearly it wasn’t) and that someone would escalate and call back today... No call today and broadband slow and intermittent again, has been for 4 weeks now, help!

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    Dear diary, day 16 of poor/zero broadband. I called @VirginMedia, joined a queue, cooked, served & ate dinner, started watching The Simpsons then after 48 minutes of Jake Bugg and some other repetitive on-hold phone entertainment, they cut me off!

  • sparklepixxie Linda Wroth ✯ (@sparklepixxie) reported from Egham, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp After waiting an hour & half on the phone!! Not even bothering to help us! .. You put us on hold 3 times then! Then you hang up!!! 🤬😤😡 ... Its disgusting! Loyalty means NOTHING!! #cancelling #BYE 👋🏻

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @SinghT2j @virginmedia It’s been down a good 3 days in the last 14 here. Otherwise it’s either slow or randomly intermittent. They really need to sort their network out, it was never this bad until 2 weeks ago.

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Have to wait until Monday until an engineer can come out to fix whatever the problem is, I have never ever had a good connection, made many complaints but this is the worse ever. Intermittence connections causing me to need another @SlimmingWorld consultant to cover my groups 💔

  • nicocary Nico Cary (@nicocary) reported from Cobham, England

    . @virginmedia any chance you can install fibre line for my buisness that’s now 2 months delayed! 😢 Over 180 emails sent / over 12 hours on support calls going round in circles. You did manage to take payments however for these months of no internet! 🥴 #virginmedia

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    Omg @virginmedia the worse service you could possible get 😡

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @sniveldirk @virginmedia Also it’s not reliable broadband. I’m suffering day 15 of anything but the 350MB connection I paid for. Right now it’s dead again. The lack of service forced me to have to work from an office today (again!) How unsafe is that?

  • EmsAlice Ems ☾ (@EmsAlice) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia It’s now been more than 48 hours and once again our catch up services and virgin media store is down and unavailable ... this time with no known local issue. What am I meant to do?

  • andy00169146 andy (@andy00169146) reported from Spelthorne District, England

    @virginmedia Dreadful customer service. Like others, waited nearly an hour on the phone only to get mucked about because I couldn’t instantly recall the name of my package. No help at all, representative wouldn’t transfer me and hung up.

  • Vibroseis Kelvyn Taylor (@Vibroseis) reported from Egham, England

    Virgin Media is down, so guess I’ll have to spend my leave reading books and playing guitar.

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @GuseensLV @virginmedia Ah man, I’m with ya. 350MB here was fab until 16 days ago. Been “OK” today, had a relatively stable connection but it never crept over 10MB and that was if I was lucky *sigh*

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Called yesterday PM: engineer tested the line, said there were network issues despite status page saying to the contrary. Was told you were fixing the issue but today is day 15 and no BB since ~15:30 yesterday. I have to go to the office, no choice. Poor/no BB = risk my health 🙁

  • paulineayres PaulineAyres-S/W (@paulineayres) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia I have to wait until Monday for an engineer to come and fix whatever the problem is but never ever had a good connection and made many complains

  • ricey1974 john rice ✊ (@ricey1974) reported from Spelthorne District, England

    @virginmedia trying to cancel my subscription,got cut from your call centre then finally get through again to be told I’ve been sent an email to confirm cancellation.Not received an email.

  • paulpavli Paul (@paulpavli) reported from Slough, England

    @virginmedia All this was done yesterday, no help. Would like to chat to someone to discuss the router. Funny thing is prices have just gone up and we have the worse coverage ever!

  • pmross Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England

    @Binky_2301 @virginmedia The service was pretty reliable until now 19 days ago. Their status tool says no issues yet an engineer told me there were. And that they were fixing it. Been watching Twitter and it’s been an issue with folks all over the country.

    @virginmedia hi, can you help pls, since I've had the upgrade (which is so much better by the way) how can I sort the volume out? It seems like half the channels Inc hd/uhd are at different levels, bbc louder than itv for eg...tia

  • GillCoates5 Gill Coates (@GillCoates5) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing. I can’t get through to anyone on the phone. No one has responded to my emailed complaints and Holly Willoughby hangs up when her recorded message finishes. It’s beyond a joke. I was sent a link to get updates on how Virgin was getting on fixing the problem and it took

  • RussellLarge84 Russell Large (@RussellLarge84) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell me why I need to keep my 360 box on downstairs (not on standby) to be able to watch recordings on my mini box upstairs? Poor design having to keep both boxes on.

  • johnvasili1 VAS (@johnvasili1) reported

    @virginmedia I can't be bothered wasting anymore time I'll just cancel all services.

  • mdowman Michael Dowman (@mdowman) reported
