  • jakub_zalas Jakub Zalas (@jakub_zalas) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia It never says what it is. The fix is always hours away. 3pm in this case. This isn’t acceptable in times most of us work from home.

  • elfakiuk Ahmed Elfaki (@elfakiuk) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia Not sure if it is one issue that can’t fix fir four or five weeks or every week a new one. The issue is we relying on @VodafoneUK to work from home

  • jakub_zalas Jakub Zalas (@jakub_zalas) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia I know it is an outage. They’re far too common with you. There was not a single outage for the two years I’ve been using EE. It’s a third one within a month I’ve been with you.

  • davidclark1966 David Clark (@davidclark1966) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @VirginRed Hi there, it seems as though my 250 points for being a verified Virgin Media customer hasn’t been applied, could you help me?

  • eta1874 Louis W. B. (@eta1874) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia Can’t login at the moment as I am trying to do a teams call...

  • Pumpkin25 Anike (@Pumpkin25) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia still waiting for the internet to return in Sidcup! Do you know what the problem is and how long it’s likely to take to resolve as I am working from home and currently cannot do any work?!

  • Transome77 Terry Ransome (@Transome77) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia trying to contact you to cancel my services. Cannot get through on phone or through messaging? Please help

  • CultMediaLtd CultMediaCollective (@CultMediaLtd) reported from Eltham, England

    @virginmedia Yep, time has long passed. So what now? Another two hours on the phone to talk to you? Look down your timeline at all your replies. Anyone over there think there might be a problem?

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia hi I’ve received a written response to a complaint from VM but with no way to reply other than the usual customer service number which doesn’t offer an option for this. Can you supply another telephone number or physical address to reply to?

  • Pumpkin25 Anike (@Pumpkin25) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia @eta1874 Mine is down too and I’m working. Tv and internet just stopped!

  • ImDjSmith_ Dj Smith (@ImDjSmith_) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia Then John if you read my tweet you would of seen the images attached and that NO ONE is picking up the phones at virgin media customer services. and I can see from other people’s tweets. There is a common theme here. Why can’t @virginmedia call me back???

  • Jay_Hul J (@Jay_Hul) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Tbh it’s been ongoing since we locked down in April. I accepted things might be a struggle but as time has passed colleagues and friends are not struggling with day to day connection or having constant lapses in connections. Having spoke to CCare nothing can be done.

  • rajputamol Amolsingh (@rajputamol) reported from Ilford, England

    @virginmedia It's still down. It's been 2 days. Are the engineers working on this or not? Unbelievable! #virginmediadown

  • NessTownsend Ness Townsend (@NessTownsend) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia trying to get hold of your call centre but it says you’re shut. Our internet is down which has major implications for my work and foster kids’ homework. What’s going on??? #fuming

  • sue_horbury Sue Horbury (@sue_horbury) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia There were issues yesterday but we have been having problems for months and no one ever responds. I don’t believe you are sorry otherwise you would improve your customer service

  • Gksharkar Gk (@Gksharkar) reported from East Ham, England

    @virginmedia since 2016 with virgin but really disappointed and disgusted as network is so cheap, sometimes feel like i am in the Amazon Forest. As advised i upgraded it and nlw paying more money but without proper service. Everyday it drops.

  • KeithHollins Keith Hollins (@KeithHollins) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia you’re losing customers here in DA146PW 6PW. What’s happening to our broadband service? Third drop out in last week

  • Jay_Hul J (@Jay_Hul) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I have to say I’m completely done with your service. I have 6 months left, but I’ve had to purchase a BT package in order to WFH. The constant up/down of your network since lockdown has become a joke and I just want rid. #virginmediadown

  • NessTownsend Ness Townsend (@NessTownsend) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia no response - thanks for your great customer service. Our broadband has been haphazard since getting the higher speed and no help despite phone call after phone call. 😡😡😡😡

  • RichardGreenla1 Richard Greenland (@RichardGreenla1) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia any idea when the upgrade (that you didnt pre warn sbout) in the da15 area will be completed please? Your automated message said 16.00 but still no service. I've lost half a days work!

  • ShuttleworthE Eddy Shuttleworth (@ShuttleworthE) reported

    @virginmedia It was a wired connection I'm aware of the very standard responses you can give to help with these speeds. They're the same ones that I had to go through on 3 occasions to get the WiFi pods. All 3 are installed and working properly before dropping last night

  • guidolewes Martin Allen (@guidolewes) reported

    @virginmedia Really didn’t expect these issues with a cable provider. Should have done my homework before signing on the dotted line.

  • BIBM0DERN Barbara 🇪🇺 | Brexit is Brexshit #FBPE (@BIBM0DERN) reported

    @virginmedia I never received the promised call. Going round in circles, now having to try and get someone on the phone who I have to explain to for the umpteenth time. Not happy.

  • awdon72 donny (@awdon72) reported

    @virginmedia It was disconnected on the 3rd March and despite several phone calls I am still being charged with my final bill when I am due a refund. Nearly 8 weeks of hassle since I phoned up to close my account. I have no faith in the customer advisors that I speak to especially today

  • neilc5017 Neil Connolly (@neilc5017) reported

    @virginmedia we are having trouble with our EPG one channel just keeps showing to be announced from the 28th of March

  • shahidn6 Mohammed Shahid Nazir (@shahidn6) reported

    The worst company to ever deal with @virginmedia get passed from faults to cancellations spent hours and hours on phone no services and getting charged

  • indelacio_co_uk jason beckley (@indelacio_co_uk) reported

    Never use #virginMedia not only does their internet keep going down and their phoneline not work, when you call their 0330 number from mobile and waste £50 in credit trying to rearrange a repair they don't rearrange and you run out of credit, @virginmedia are the worst company.

  • petergoodwin92 Peter Goodwin 🦐 (@petergoodwin92) reported

    @virginmedia I tried sending ALL to the Customer Number but it wouldn't go through

  • Paninaro86_ The Vintage Casual 🐿 (@Paninaro86_) reported

    @virginmedia never even told me my contract was up.They just assume you want to carry on and hike the price of the contract up without saying anything #Cheers #MoneyMoneyMoney

  • dancelightning Dancing bunny hugger, loving fresh air 🕷 ⭐ 3.5% (@dancelightning) reported

    @Carlabela1 £50, just for broadband? Or does it include landline phone? Is this BT or Virgin Media? Can get good deals for Virgin Media 100mb. Always worth renegotiating with current provider and can cancel and VM usually come back with a more reasonable rate.
