    @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 Hi I have now chased up 4 times wasting countless pointless hours and it seems that I need to contact CISAS to get a response unless you can help. Ref number COM10411 f

    @capiegirl @Janeopot @henriettak @mansellmum @1sthappysodme @Adrienne65 @owlbird @SkyIreland @virginmedia Boring weekend but then Francesca had ambulance sent to her yesterday as reacted to eggs, severe allergy. I was a wreck, but she’s ok now. Poor Sophie had to deal with this alone 😰

    @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 Hello again. Your WiFi is playing up again. Same problem as before, intermittent signal regardless of where in the house. Booster most likely needed. The ‘contact us’ option of your WiFi-tester app is also not working.

  • sheradondublin
    Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    Morning @virginmedia, I’m starting to become a little fed up with your current business model. You take my money, but supply a less than reliable WiFi service. Will it take a cancelled direct debit to get your attention? Please fix. 😡

  • sheradondublin
    Sheradon Dublin (@sheradondublin) reported from Margate, England

    @virginmedia It’s the same problem we always have with your WiFi, it’s patchy at best. Even when I’m standing next to the box

  • jimmygreen83
    James Green (@jimmygreen83) reported from Margate, England

    @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.

  • SamRSparrow
    Sam Sparrow 🇪🇺 (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @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.

  • bobvoyage
    Bob Voyage (@bobvoyage) reported from Margate, England

    @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.

  • jimmygreen83
    James Green (@jimmygreen83) reported from Margate, England

    Hi @virginmedia my internet has gone down in my house, it has been like it for about 2 hours now. I have the hub3, baselight is staying green, wifi light is staying green and the internet arrows are flashing green. Help please. Have turned off and on, didn't work.

  • SamRSparrow
    Sam Sparrow (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

    @virginmedia service down in CT10 area, loads of people reporting this on social media etc but service status says it is fine. Can you please look into this ASAP?!

  • grant_saffery
    Grant Saffery (@grant_saffery) reported from Margate, England

    1st day with @virginmedia & **** all is working. Waited all day for an “engineer” to come & make an abysmal attempt at installation before telling me everything was working & then ******* off rather sharpish. Spent the rest of evening on phone trying to sort. Appalling service

  • SamRSparrow
    Sam Sparrow (@SamRSparrow) reported from Broadstairs and St. Peters, England

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

    😂 Twitter Automation gone wrong... Take a look at this @virginmedia thread for a great example of Twitter automation gone wrong. 🤖 Automation < Customer service 😀

  • andeenic
    Andy Nicoll (@andeenic) reported from Margate, England

    Three formal complaints to @virginmedia and three promises of a returned call within 24 hours. 3 fails out of 3. At least your appalling service is consistent

  • CaryAWright
    Cary Wright (@CaryAWright) reported from Margate, England

    @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!

    Nigel Hudson (@nghudson) reported from Preston, England

    @Jess_Guth @virginmedia @virginmedia are the pits!!! Dreadful customer service and they’ve tried to charge us for a phone service we terminated 3 months ago!!! 👎🏻🤬

    Who remembers when @O2 customer service was good? Since the merger with the appalling @virginmedia it's been absolutely diabolical. Trying to help a vulnerable relative, been on hold for 45 minutes 🤮🤮🤮 to reset his password. Shameful.

  • GeekyHairy
    GeekyHairyBestia (@GeekyHairy) reported

    @virginmedia what the hell. Yet again service down in my area. It’s been consistent the two years I’ve been here but you’re the only option but yet again this week it’s been consistent. It’s clear you can not provide on your network to all houses in area so so it we pay for this

    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.

  • MisterBeergut
    Jonny (@MisterBeergut) reported

    @Kirsty_x85 @virginmedia Many company sales people do this, because they have been told that not knocking is following the cold calling rules. The posting of cards through letterboxes is what most of them do instead. I have the same problem. At least you were not disturbed by the hard sell.

  • sparky0710
    Mark Aitken (@sparky0710) reported

    @virginmedia Internet been down in ML5 since yesterday lunchtime. When will this be resolved.any information or updates from apps are vague at best very poor.

    @alisonclay71 @virginmedia They’re the worst. I was a customer for over 10 years and moved house recently. They refused to move the service to my new house. Incredibly poor service. Also, be prepared for them to chase you constantly to return their kit or they’ll charge you for it!

  • alanmonolith
    A.Monolith @alanmonolith@bsky.social (@alanmonolith) reported

    @virginmedia the update time for the ML6 outage remains at 22:06 tonight since the first minute of it being off. Is this just a random time , feels unlikely due to working hours and worry that it’ll drag to tomorrow. Please can I have an update that isn’t check the checker?
