@virginmedia I would suggest then that the service status should be updated to reflect that situation.

@virginmedia services in #Thanet have been off since 1am on the 23rd December and now you are pushing it back until 2pm today for a fix and still no engineer on site - that will be over 36 hours with zero updates to customers right before Christmas. What is happening?!

@virginmedia He has a letter as a review. So we need to speak to someone to cancel it. He’s being charged each month according to this letter. Goodness knows how long for.

@virginmedia if you think I am going to be talking to my family over Christmas while my WiFi is down, you can think again. Get the engineer out here or I'm sending you shite in the post daily.

@virginmedia not had internet, for 24 hours. I spoke to customer services at 18:00 who “guaranteed it would be fixed by 21:25” I checked this 3 times as, at that point, I could arrange alternatives to finish work for Xmas. Now I can’t and still have no internet. Appalling!

@virginmedia Why would my page have no update since 1pm? I’m only getting updates via community Facebook page and my parents. My postcode is CT10 2SW. I would also like to know why my engineer visit was cancelled and how I make a complaint.

@virginmedia @Dan13lBurk3 I spoke to your customer service team who “guaranteed this fault would rectified by 21:25”. I explained the gravity as I needed to finish work for Xmas. They lied!! I’ve now got to drive to London and work through the night! Appalling!

@virginmedia I’m not a technician, can you guys just let me leave my contract after this. Terrible customer service, even worse service, waiting to join @EE but stuck in a contract that only seems to work one way. You really are a shambles.

@virginmedia... broadband has been down all day and expected back at 5:25pm, still not working. Now, recheck the app and not expected back until 8am tomorrow! Seriously?! Why? What has happened? How can it be down for that long? Ridiculous, especially when people work from home.

@virginmedia The service status page hasn’t updated since 1pm. Everyone in the area has the internet down and yet I’m being told right now on the phone there is no problem. I had an engineer booked tomorrow and VM cancelled that and now can’t send one until Monday? Awful service.

@virginmedia I am extremely unhappy broadband been down since 1.15pm. Booked an engineer. This has been cancelled with no explanation. Can’t book another. Service status says it’s fine but many others online in CT10 says there is an area issue. First person on phone hung up.

@virginmedia The service status update says: There's a broadband issue. We hope to fix this by 22 February at 15:00. 15:00 hrs turnaround is ridiculous to be honest as so many are working from home and are unable to do their work.

@virginmedia @Fifakill_ What you have outages every night at midnight? You'd think you'd notice that yourself and fix it?

@virginmedia I do not want old package or any other package, All I want to go back to old contact (which is due to expire in March) so, I have choices. Snake oil sales and rude after sales support is something decent people would like to avoid! All started with asking why fee jumped up!

(@rodwhiting) reported
@virginmedia Think so. I’m calling complaints now to see if that’s any better. I just want to set up my account properly so I can use the app. The problem arose because I registered the account before installation so I’m a non-customer but when I try and re-register I’m already registered!

@RedSupremeMUFC @virginmedia I feel your pain! I’m experiencing this unacceptable TV service now! 2 years since your post & no improvement 🤯 too many issues watching recordings that I switch to my iPad or fire stick, now waiting for techie & I hope he has a TiVo box for me 😬
-
Rod Whiting
(@rodwhiting) reported
@virginmedia Sorry, should have been clearer: it doesn’t recognise me as a customer according to agents who can see I’m a customer but can’t fix it. I can’t remember the password so try the forgotten password but it says I need to call agent…and round and round we go.

Stacey Mason
(@supermissstacey) reported
@virginmedia Yes & I’ve requested to revert to V6/TiVo, as the V360 service doesn’t meet my needs. I want to record & watch tv, NOT stream. Called this morning, kindly advised to reboot - lost ALL my recordings & planned recordings 😫😤 …

@virginmedia hi team, we seem to be having issues with our internet in SE25 4RY. The service check says everything is fine, but it’s been down for atleast 30mins. How’s best to report this?
