  • CityWookie CityWookie (@CityWookie) reported from Urmston, England

    Impossible to arrange a house move with @virginmedia ! So far website doesn't work. So they tell you to use the contact us chat, which I've sat on for over 4 hours without a response. I've also tried calling, so far more than 3 hours no response or cut off 😡 #poorservice

  • j_roddy Jane (@j_roddy) reported from Urmston, England

    @lIPJIl @virginmedia WFH and self employed with no WiFi...can’t get through to them only automated service...maybe invest more into the company rather than pay your shareholders fat bonuses!

  • Conor87 Concobhar Dochartaigh (@Conor87) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract but can’t get through to anyone on the phone.

  • LukeCav Luke Cav (@LukeCav) reported from Liverpool, England

  • supergran22 Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England

    @virginmedia 1 tv went off showing error code. Other tv working. On website tried to sort with code. Didn't work, phoned 150 no luck as told service closed. On website it states Saturday 8-8pm. Not impressed as was on red button watching tennis. I need my big screen.

  • amscaine Anne-Marie Caine (@amscaine) reported from St Helens, England

    @beech_mark @mcvity3 @virginmedia Since we moved beech they have been absolutely shite. Their customer service is non existent. They owe us £90 but can’t speak to anyone to get it refunded.

  • DavidWaywell David Waywell (@DavidWaywell) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    I don't mind so much that my Internet is down (these things happen) but I do get annoyed when the service status tells me it's fine. I don't know if I should be doing something to fix it. @virginmedia

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia your sales team are telling people that upgrading to 200 speed will fix WiFi issues. I was looking for a new deal but don’t want to sign up until it’s guaranteed I can get WiFi in more than 2 rooms. I live in a small 3 bed and I’m on my 2nd router which is worse

  • Jessicareynard Jessica Fairhurst (@Jessicareynard) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia been on for over an hour trying to sort an issue for my grandad! Poor service.. please get in touch!

  • AlexioBailinho Al* (@AlexioBailinho) reported from Liverpool, England

    .@virginmedia having technical trouble with connecting my devices to WiFi. Internet went off due to power outage in L18 area last night. Require assistance please

  • borntorun127 Sid (@borntorun127) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Is there any coincidence that since i said i was closing my account, both Tv & Broadband have crashed 3 to 4 times daily? And you'll expect me to pay for this **** service

  • j_roddy Jane (@j_roddy) reported from Urmston, England

    Why is @virginmedia so appalling? Broadband been off for 48 hours,but they manage to take their monthly payment without a problem which gets more expensive each month..if your thinking of virgin think again!

  • kfield82 Gamble free girl (@kfield82) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    Trying to drop some items from my @virginmedia. They increase the price 🙄 the service is slow, old and far too expensive. Then get kept on the line for ages 😩🙄

  • HenninghanFiD Phillip™ (@HenninghanFiD) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia sort this outage out pls, we pay too much as it is so to have internet problems all the time is a joke. L20 area, no internet on cable or wifi. Ye gona lose customers for real.

  • AidenMontgomery Aiden Montgomery (@AidenMontgomery) reported from Westhoughton, England

    Really fed up with my @virginmedia internet connection. Months of packet loss causing voice calls to be unintelligible. Constantly losing connection. Multiple ‘engineer’ visits and its still terrible. Two days in a row now the hub says No RF Signal. Stay away from it!

  • nursesleague Bolton Nurses League (@nursesleague) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm whether there are any broadband issues in the Bromley Cross area of Bolton as my internet went down at 6pm last evening and will still not connect

  • TezzP Tezz P (@TezzP) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia wow! Does anyone actually still work at virgin media? 45 mins on hold on one call, 35 on another number,off your website, I'm suppose to be getting a text with a link to a website, never received it! Trying to discuss my contract, which is at an end, remove services

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TotallyBeans AVS1972 (@TotallyBeans) reported

    @nickkingtwo @virginmedia @NOWTV Gonna cancel my contract if you can't sort the darts coverage out. Buffering every few seconds. Literally. Atrocious!!

  • MrJ9_FFC J9_FFC (@MrJ9_FFC) reported

    What a perfect time for @virginmedia @SkySports app to not let me sign in! It’s logged me out in the middle of a darts match and right before the football! What an absolute joke!

  • Steve_M73 SteveM (@Steve_M73) reported

    @virginmedia How do I make a complaint? The phone number on website gives options but none mention complaints. BTW Virgin media must be a great place to work, just tell customers you will fix problem then call them back, do neither, then repeat.

  • Silverdoor_ silverdoor (@Silverdoor_) reported

    @virginmedia @PMIOMTT Having same issue. Can’t login into sky sports app via iPhone or iPhone using Virgin Media logins. You can’t watch it via Virgin Go as it forces you to the Sky Sports App. Very frustrating.

  • k_parrish1 Kevin Parrish (@k_parrish1) reported

    @AndyDaley @virginmedia I had to ask to cancel my contract twice to get what I wanted. £50 reduction in the end. Loyal customers should not have to do this. Next renewal of it happens again im off to Sky. Such poor customer service

  • markdrock Mark Rock (@markdrock) reported

    @woodpecker_view @virginmedia @virginmedia do not give a **** anymore. All there call centres are overseas and you cannot contact individual departments anymore. The only to leave (other people have said this on social media) is to not pay the bill and let them contact you, so you can tell them "**** OFF"

  • AEW_Blog AEWBlog (@AEW_Blog) reported

    @VMO2News @O2 @virginmedia It SUCKS that O2 has removed the 3-months switch up to 11-months. I tried to change my phone today and it wants me to pay it all off before changing. It makes no sense because I’m on the old contract with 3-months switch up :/

  • BrunoFPL_ Bruno (@BrunoFPL_) reported

    @virginmedia @SkySports sort your **** out on the app. Don’t log me off randomly then not let me sign back in when the footballs on. What do we pay you for

  • wos_occuring Andy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 (@wos_occuring) reported

    @virginmedia @Clantastic You’re not alone. @VodafoneUK “Tobi” is equally infuriating. Do the directors who implement these systems actually stress test the customer facing bot. It’s actually worse than a 60 minute hold music.

  • MisterChristo4 Julio Geordio (@MisterChristo4) reported
