Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jan (@geminicat7) reported🛜 I’m safely back from the dentist’s 😷 (only a 6 monthly check-up and all was well) but now our internet is down and not likely to be resolved until 17:30! @virginmedia 👋 I can’t afford to use up all my mobile data chatting on social media so I’ll see you when if it’s sorted!
-
Angela (@AngstAHD) reported.@virginmedia how are we supposed to get help/customer service? Phonelines are unanswered, the online chat goes around in circles and then stops communicating, the Whatsapp service doesn't work. Woeful today.
-
GW 🔰🏴 (@GW_Mktg) reported@MartinSLewis Well, @virginmedia pretty useless at fixing their service too. Broadband down as we speak!
-
Emily Atkins (@bahallathegreat) reported@virginmedia It was taken up by a carpet fitter and never relayed it so angry at that and I never had anyone to look to see if everything was running ok
-
Scouse House Bouncy Music (@ScouseBouncy) reported@virginmedia Not my account so I can speak you about it. What happens though is, you start a stream and then it corrupts, goes to a black screen and goes to a “Error code: COMPO” then closes. This is not network related, it’s not a box issue. It is an issue with authentication
-
Kev (@victor50) reported@virginmedia if Virgin paid me £5 for every time the wifi went down, I’d be a wealthy man. I am anyway, but not quite enough to sue under the trades description act for diabolical service. Absolutely awful. The new provider can’t get in our area quick enough.
-
Mr B Sickbeard. Bob to his mates (@b_sickbeard) reported@virginmedia why can’t I find the link to help me change my account email address? Every time I click to login, it reverts me back to the login page. Really ****** UX.
-
Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reported@virginmedia customer. Activated 24 July on Gig1. Nine days in: WiFi works in one floor of my house, upload is 40% below spec on router, I’ve been told I cannot order the equipment needed to fix it. 90 minutes on chat today produced a £5 offer and a suggestion that I cancel. Detail below. 🧵
-
Project Universal (@ProUniversalUK) reportedTrying to cancel @virginmedia .... What a pain in the ***. No wonder they got fined so much for making it hard but they are still at it. @Ofcom
-
Mark Oram (@markoram1) reportedHi @virginmedia Have to say I have dealt with a company as bad as yours , I am trying to help my elderly neighbour who happens to have been a customer of yours for 30 yrs plus deal with her badly missold package ,
-
Lotharemas (@Lotharemas) reported@virginmedia So how do i go about reporting an SNR upstream Area fault now? the forums have been shut down which always handled it before but now ive been stuck with this causing packet loss since early June.
-
Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported@virginmedia When you upgraded my broadband line you told me to plug my phone into my router. I did that and it stopped working. Your customer service is useless and this tweet is staying public until YOU fix it.
-
Ali Larkin (@alilarkin) reported@virginmedia Hi, we've had a broadband/TV outage most of today & we're told it would be repaired by 22.00 tonight. Now the latest update says it will be 15.45 tomorrow 29th. I work online from home so awkward is an understatement. How is this taking so long? F012401961.
-
Tony Sedgwick (@Sedgeofwigan) reportedVirgin media plan has gone up 300% £65 to £219 and then wrongly disclosed on email private details of another virgin customer breaking GDPR rules. #worstcustimerservice #notbotheredaboutvirgincustomers @Virgin @MartinSLewis @GDPRbreaches
-
Scouse House Bouncy Music (@ScouseBouncy) reported@virginmedia That authentication issue is between the VM servers and Sky servers.
-
KP (@KP_1886) reported@virginmedia Your broadband outages are absolutely unforgivable. We’re paying good money for your internet only to be denied the ability to do our jobs because we have no WiFi. The fix date keeps changing. It’s not improving. Yet we’re still paying. What are you doing about this?
-
Vikram (@VikramRajpara09) reported@virginmedia I pay for a service which is not active and not working. Goodwill doesn’t come into the equation.
-
Clare B (@Gagabids) reportedWe've had no Prime for 3 days, what is the issue? @virginmedia
-
Kate and her girls (@kateandhergirls) reported@MartinSLewis plz help. @virginmedia told me I was out of contract when in fact I have another yr, tried to switch plans via your site & im currently paying £36pm for 500mb whereas new customers can pay £22.99 for 1GB. VM slapping me with almost £400 get out fee. 😭 #virginmedia
-
Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported@virginmedia Do something about your useless Customer Service. You used to have shops and phone lines so that I could taslkd to a real person. Your automated systems have always been uselss and now you want me to send you an audio or a video message, neither of which works.
-
Philip Mackey (@PhilipMackey2) reported@VirginMediaIE Day 10. Literally have no words left to describe how inept Virgin Media are. No tv service for 10 days since we moved home & had media connect technician set up our broadband (which works!) & our tv service,which spectacularly does not.

charles Ψ (@devilsaviour_) reported@falterface I had virgin media wifi as a kid that **** was so shite 😭😭😭
-
DEAN SUPPORT (@Dean_Xyber1) reported@lukewarm14 @O2 @virginmedia I can help send me a DM

Ermito Fernandes (@ErmitoF) reportedHi any idea whats whats happening with the service outage in Hinckley Road, Narborough Road area since morning? This is so unreliable as I lost my today's appointments as there was no prior intimation of this outage. When is this expected back online? @virginmedia
-
Peter (Just Drink Rioja) 🇬🇧 (@The_Baron_X150) reported@virginmedia Good morning. My TV 360 box is stuck in an endless boot loop. I tried to get this sorted via your on-line chat yesterday evening but that system did not deliver. Happy to share details later. I’ve been holding on your 150 phone line for half an hour. Please help
-
Eternal Elneny (@eternalelneny) reported@virginmedia With all due respect, the engineers have been there all day, I saw two of them having a 40 minute lunch break at 10am at Greggs. Can you push these engineers to get this completed today? Compensation isn’t a valid response to not being able to work - ridiculous service
-
Mr. Cold (@Javier_Cold_) reported@Ofcom @virginmedia sucks. 2 hours going in circles to cancel my package. They get away with it by exhausting you, going around and around, stalling the conversation until you say yes.
-
Sharon Grimes (@sharongrimes1) reported@virginmedia I’m not a customer of your co but sub contractors for your co rudely knocked on my door this morning to move my car. Should I not been notified of works carried out. What if I was not in, and there was damage to my car?
-
Philly (@Cath_Philly) reported@virginmedia Outage in the B91 Zero updates. Out now for 20 hours with a comp time for repairs 29/10 at 16:07 (love the precision). Heart-monitor at the property - reported by phone yesterday - and office hours lost. Comment please.
