    @virginmedia you have the worst customer services I have ever experienced from being cut off during calls to failure to call back

  • JoelLJelen JoelJelen (@JoelLJelen) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia it’s 2019, your online customer service is so poor and your offline telephone service saw me waiting 15 mins and still in a queue! Given up.

    @David4Charnock @virginmedia Ha ha!! You’re getting help off my issue!! On hold for over an hour and live chat keeps disconnecting as no advisors are available!!

  • textmaniaa Tracey Brooks (@textmaniaa) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia what's the point in sending a letter stating if yr service hasn't resumed by 5pm ring this number. When they shut at 5pm. Poor service again from virgin media. Nearly 8pm and still no tele or broadband. What a joke of a company.

  • Alison_hh Alison Hesketh-Holt (@Alison_hh) reported from Leyland, England

    Absoloutley disgusted with @virginmedia been on hold for 2 hours - I'm an existing customer and one agent has hung on me!!! I want to discuss my existing contract with them. How the hell are you supposed to speak to the complaints department or a manager in charge!

  • allensmith566 Allen Smith (@allensmith566) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Engineer came and replaced my box. Excellent service and I am a happy customer 👍

  • allensmith566 Allen Smith (@allensmith566) reported from Bolton, England

    Properly raining. I hope my @virginmedia engineer can sail through and fix my TiVo box 🌧

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia Trip haziest outside my house cables running to next door which were supposed to be temporary, unstable service, rattling router, some of these issues have been resolved. Others haven’t. I’ve asked for final response but no one will talk to me about this.

  • Sex_chameleon Foxy stoat (@Sex_chameleon) reported from Warrington, England

    @Satoonerist @virginmedia Totally agree, I've just been pissed about trying to get through to cancellations, I refused technical help and and engineer and I'm going to take a chance that my neighbours are right and Talk Talk is decent these days.

  • ShitofHan Hannah (@ShitofHan) reported from Liverpool, England

    I hope to god my mum gets rid of @virginmedia this week! Sick of her paying like £112 for shut service. I’m constantly on 4G

  • zaracharles Zara (@zaracharles) reported from Liverpool, England

    TWO hrs spent on to @virginmedia trying 2 fix my continuous starting up screen. Was promised a call back the following evening, which never happened !!! Feel I have been more than patient, to be majorly let down #whatamipayingfor 😡

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Cuerdley, England

    Aaaaand @virginmedia broadband is down again. Useless.

  • rian951 Rian Murray (@rian951) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia Well unless you can help with a booster - customer services wanted £360 for an EE one! Most other providers offer WiFi Calling!

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia strange I read all the posts about Virgin customers ringing up about cancelling services and Virgin offering them a better deal however I ring up and cancel a service with no trouble at all, not even offering a lower price, your loss #virginmedia

  • Sex_chameleon Foxy stoat (@Sex_chameleon) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Because that's something you should have offered 4 months ago before the endless hour long phone calls, not something you should have offered only when I went though 3 different people to cancel. I also can't take a day off work for an engineer during August.

  • toadfish41 Chris McPartland (@toadfish41) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia hi can you help me sign in been trying to contact customer services for over 2 hrs tonight

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SP50009033 SP (@SP50009033) reported

    @virginmedia Hi PDe, since renewal the connection is intermittent constantly. I have spoken to customer services and engineers (over the phone) who just advise to reset the router. Your website is currently saying there’s issues with the line into the property…

  • daviddaulby david daulby (@daviddaulby) reported

    @virginmedia How is a £35 activation fee justified when I am already a customer with virgin media and I would be the one installing the new super hub myself plus you litteraly dobt have to do anything other than push a button when the button box is installed

  • JayML2020 Jay (@JayML2020) reported

    @virginmedia It is with yourselves - recently got a new SIM card as my new tariff is 5G ready (phone is not) and since then, been pretty poor.

  • samwhitehouse73 China doll (@samwhitehouse73) reported

    @virginmedia what a disgrace! I am on the LIVE chat making a complaint, been sat 45 mins whilst ‘Mohammed’ has been doing god knows what! Cos he ain’t resolving my complaint! Then tells me he is going for a 15 min break and will be back after! Disgusting Virgin

  • PaulLomax Paul Lomax (@PaulLomax) reported

    @chrismsutcliffe @virginmedia If I can't get them to let me self-install, then I'm going to need a temp solution to be able to work next week (eg channel-bonded LTE 4G router...). At which point I'm free to wait for an engineer from an alternative provider! Which would be cheaper too. But I'd rather stay...

  • Kim_Grange Kimberley Grange (@Kim_Grange) reported

    @virginmedia 'first' bill. Which isn't a first bill. Because this has been a 3 year contract so far. Also, we've had an ongoing, unresolved complaint for 2.5 years so I don't actually know why we're keeping Virgin.

  • anneonymouslyme anneonymously me (@anneonymouslyme) reported

    @virginmedia yes, tech supports end is showing my internet is up but my end when I open the IP in a browser says down, after 40min of trying to convince them my internet was in fact not working they are finally sending a new modem

  • DiCompton Di (@DiCompton) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not working still

  • jordang2310 Jordan (@jordang2310) reported

    @Spurs_Officials @virginmedia Think it’s an EA issue. My signal is usually good but the game is currently unplayable with lag

  • niventhanm moi (@niventhanm) reported

    @virginmedia I have spoken to them and they have recommended that I reach out to you as it seems that it may be a Virgin issue. Can you please confirm that there is no issue in my area to cause network issues?
