    @virginmedia Connection problem with Apps. Phone & told to give no. underneath box. Difficult 2 bend down, hold box & phone. How can there b a problem when the TV in other room is working? Sick of having a text to do it myself or ask 4 tech help from someone who can't help.

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

    @virginmedia @primevideosport told me my TV not connected to Internet which it is. Was working and then wasn't. Now working but really sick of reoccurring problems when my @primevideosport goes off & told it's an Internet problem. If Internet problem wouldn't I lose everything?

  • Phil_Donoghue1 Phil Donoghue (@Phil_Donoghue1) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia you literally must be THE most unreliable failing ISP in all the land… Yet another outage which you laughably call “improving our network” and you’ve never provided even half the speed we pay for. About time OFCOM held this company to book!

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    In 10+ yrs of having #virginmedia this is only second time TV service has been down. The broadband meanwhile is up n down like a dog at the fair

  • Cuttsrich rich cutts (@Cuttsrich) reported from Tyldesley, England

    Its been a pain in the *** with broadband down all day working from home. But now no Joy of Painting with Bob Ross! It's not the despair that gets me down, it's the hope #virginmedia

  • SteffyJ1 Steph Scully (@SteffyJ1) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Upgraded TV boxes Friday at 5pm and still no TV service. Spoken to 7 different customer service people. Even had a text to say all sorted but no. Very poor service especially in this day and age and a big media company! Not good enough.

  • Lanky2711 Mike Long (@Lanky2711) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia your service is crap 💩 internet down, tv down trying to work! You should pay for my McDonald’s as it’s the only place I can get on line to work.

  • mrmrjarrold Matthew Jarrold (@mrmrjarrold) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia hi I’m having problem with tv and internet service in L25 but you aren’t accepting incoming calls?? What to do?

  • miteamshirts Chrissie Fuller (@miteamshirts) reported from Chorley, England

  • shanereeves1982 shane reeves (@shanereeves1982) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Must be some issue been off since about 10 am but yet internet not affected

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

    @virginmedia Looks like your engineer told me he would book a follow up appointment then didn’t bother. Your customer service lately and ability to provide a service are very lacking

  • Krys_yogi Ada Yoga🧘🏾‍♀️ (@Krys_yogi) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia you guys are really ***************. What's with the network outage?? Please fix this!

  • shazzawarrior18 Sharon Wilmot (@shazzawarrior18) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Yep shows outrage and estimated fix time which varies then text and email to say fixed but still nothing had 15 messages to say fixed one a few seconds ago but it's not and still showing outrage on the app hard to check this when no services very disappointed with the service

  • AndyDaley Andy Daley (@AndyDaley) reported from Roby, England

    @eddie_corrigan @virginmedia Is it skipper? It's absolutely garbage. Thank god its only twice a year

  • shazzawarrior18 Sharon Wilmot (@shazzawarrior18) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Still the same issue had another text update to say all fixed but it's not still nothing #notimpressed

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

    @virginmedia can you remind me the link for customer complaints please. Engineer lied, lost working time now still not right and I refuse to keep paying when I’m not getting a steady working internet let alone at the volt speeds as advertised

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

    @virginmedia I don’t want to talk to an Indian call centre going off a script I want a reasonable human who doesn’t work from a script and can help me

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • FreudianBlip Alex (@FreudianBlip) reported

    @virginmedia The only thing slower than my connection is your helpline. Thanks for very little, unreliable in broadband and customer service it seems.

  • Uncivilzation Adam Robson (@Uncivilzation) reported

    @virginmedia You know the worse part. I’m a customer of 15 years and I’m having to wait 2 weeks and to top it off I couldn’t work and missed out on £24,000 profit because of not being able to use the internet from my PC!

  • suethomas Sue Thomas (@suethomas) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, you keep asking me to complete a post-installation feedback survey but sadly the link doesn't work and the little wheel just goes round and round. So my feedback is that your feedback page is broken. Please send me a better link and I will happily do it. thanx

  • haklava H. (@haklava) reported

    I dunno what’s going on with @virginmedia but they’re awful providers.

  • trulyyygrande Rhi♡ (fan account) (@trulyyygrande) reported

    MY WIFI IS SO BAD VIRGIN MEDIA UR SHITE

  • TwoNeuronstream Two Neurons (@TwoNeuronstream) reported

    4/ let's talk about that "promise" and the platitudes @virginmedia uses to attempt to mollify customers. One rep said he "promised" this issue would be resolved. But you know, it wasn't. I knew it wouldn't be. So I asked him to clarify how he plans to keep this promise...

  • TwoNeuronstream Two Neurons (@TwoNeuronstream) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin: PAY NOW! Customer: Refund me the money you owe me. Virgin: we'll pay in 2 or 3 months.

  • hoeyie Peter Hoey (@hoeyie) reported

    @CraigLUFC77 @virginmedia @virginhelp That’s because they are a joke, zero customer service I’ve had an ongoing issue since November, still not resolved and not one email replied to. Cancel you direct debit, I’m sure they will contact you. Screen shot everything as they will lie about conversations

  • thatguykaneda kaneda (@thatguykaneda) reported

    @justine_biggs @arabbadger @virginmedia Make a complaint on their website. They'll close it without making any effort to contact you. After 8 weeks you can escalate to cisas who should be able to get you compensation. I'm going through this process at the minute. It's the only way you'll get anything out of them.

  • Lennon_Woodall Lennon (@Lennon_Woodall) reported

    @virginmedia please help me out this wifi is terrible
