Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SteveRiches4 Safetypenfold (@SteveRiches4) reported from Leicestershire, England

    @virginmedia router not working, of course not your equipment has to be mine. Why have to wait 48 hours to phone again if still not working. It’s arrogant to think we know nothing about IT.

  • ColynMitchell Mitch (@ColynMitchell) reported from Crawley, England

    @virginmedia I pay for 300 meg broadband and have done for a long time. Currently via ethernet cable I get 100 meg and wifi 30-40 meg tops. But as low as 10-15 meg. When trying to stream anything via firestick I get buffering. A few weeks ago we had no problems.

  • HuwCCFC Huw (@HuwCCFC) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia can you send me your customer service e-mail address please.

  • RachelDav81 Rachel (@RachelDav81) reported from Sittingbourne, England

    @dannyowen54 @virginmedia They have the worst customer service

  • therachaeledit The Rachael Edit (@therachaeledit) reported from Grimsby, England

    @virginmedia Yes I called 150 it said my area was down until 3pm. I appreciate it’s not you personally who is at fault but doing such work when everyone is restarting after the New Year and giving us no warning is really poor.

  • SteveDurrant10 Steve Durrant (@SteveDurrant10) reported from Royston, England

    @virginmedia That’s fine to say but every month I have issues

  • Hannah_S39 Hannah 💃🏼 (@Hannah_S39) reported from Cheltenham, England

  • bigH_7 H‼️ (@bigH_7) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia so when we give our 30 day cancellation notice because of your shitty service you decide to cut the internet out every few hours you ******* chuths

  • philip_osborne Philip Osborne (@philip_osborne) reported from Telford and Wrekin, England

    @virginmedia 1/2 It’s with all devices, we’ve tried everything, we’ve reset, we’ve turned everything off and on again, we’ve switched from 5ghz to 2.4ghz and back again … it’s … just … so … slow! 😫😫😫 And I don’t get why we should need to be IT experts to get a good service …

  • iantosh4 Ian McIntosh (@iantosh4) reported from Newport, Wales
