  • Lyntrick L҉y҉n҉n҉ K҉i҉l҉p҉a҉t҉r҉i҉c҉k҉ (@Lyntrick) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia So it's not the devices. As I say it's only since this new hub. All I get when I ring customer services is run these tests etc equipment working fine but there must be some underlying problem somewhere

  • Lyntrick L҉y҉n҉n҉ K҉i҉l҉p҉a҉t҉r҉i҉c҉k҉ (@Lyntrick) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I am seriously considering changing to another broadband company at the end of my contract because I feel I am not getting the best service from virgin anymore

  • Lyntrick L҉y҉n҉n҉ K҉i҉l҉p҉a҉t҉r҉i҉c҉k҉ (@Lyntrick) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia IT says there's no issues in the area, the speed test was done wirelessly. I have the hub in the same place I have always had the modems, hubs in. This issue has been ongoing ever since I received the newest hub. All wires are in tightly so it's not that. I have a new phone too

  • rayjono50 Ray Jono (@rayjono50) reported from Seaforth, England

    Just been holding on the phone for over 30 minutes to speak to a "human being" from Virgin Media" I lost the will to live and hung up. Will call tomorrow to tell them I will be leaving sick of their poor service.

  • JE_Boland Jane Boland (@JE_Boland) reported from Seaforth, England

    I have been on the phone with @virginmedia for nearly two hours and am no closer to getting my problem solved.

  • HenseyP pet hen (@HenseyP) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Yes virgin media website is down ,and quick pay site on virgin media is a scrambled thing ,tried 4 times now ,still scrambled ,but now keeps saying I need to sign in ,but won't accept the sign in ,keeps wanting me to enter security question then just signs out automatically .

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Oh don’t tell me to switch it off and on again.... there is no service wether it’s on the checker or not.. can’t be arsed searching for something I already know ... no virgin, I’m oot

  • phanleyphotos Paul Hanley Photos (@phanleyphotos) reported from Prescot, England

    Moved from @virginmedia to @SkyUK but phone number hasn’t moved. @virginmedia say it’s possible to still port it and the response from @SkyUK - we don’t know how to do that, hang up and try to speak to someone else after 3 hours on the phone 🤬🤬🤬

  • turnerjaksquin Jacqueline Turner (@turnerjaksquin) reported from Runcorn, England

    @virginmedia Hmmmm thought that might get your attention. Still took you 2 hours to reply though 😡 You used to be the best customer service. Not anymore. 55 minutes is not acceptable.

  • turnerjaksquin Jacqueline Turner (@turnerjaksquin) reported from Runcorn, England

    What a totally diabolical service @virginmedia 41 minutes and still not got sorted 😡 Now going to cancel our tv & phone package with you. You’re a joke. And will cancel my direct debit and make YOU wait 😡😡

  • elisanarbs Elisa Narborough (@elisanarbs) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia no internet for two hours now: Wifi light green and base light is flashing green, service status in wa1 area said no known issues, please help!

  • davetarl Dave Tarleton (@davetarl) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Hi RCG, I say hours, was just short of an hour! All sorted now. My gripe is there should be a cancel/leave option on the website saves ringing up and waiting when you are leaving no matter what.

  • HenseyP pet hen (@HenseyP) reported from Seaforth, England

    @ANIM3TA @virginmedia Doing it to my sister been charging her for all Bollywood showcase along with box nation , only found out about it this past month ,phoned up to say she has never known she had them ,never viewed ,, refusing to cancel them off ,won't listen or nothing ..appalling virgin

  • JE_Boland Jane Boland (@JE_Boland) reported from Seaforth, England

    Been on hold @virginmedia for 25 mins- now on 3rd call and nearly 2 hours. Shocking customer service. Making my decision to leave that much easier.

  • MrCRichardson Craig Richardson (@MrCRichardson) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia help help what do you need to do to get help from virgin media..😡😡😡😡

  • flux_blair Alex Downes (@flux_blair) reported from Liverpool, England

    Just had a call from @virginmedia asking me what I use my network for, how many devices I have on the network. Please mind your own business, answers to these questions can be used by OCGs to target my home and only call me if you really have to. Thanks

  • CRMann78 NYPD Blue (@CRMann78) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Been with Virgin for 5 days of dreadful customer service, how can a mobile set up result in loss of all subscribed tv channels, held in queue for over an hour is the norm, will be cancelling my contract due to this total mismanagement #VirginMediaSucks

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

    @SkyHelpTeam I’m on Facebook Messenger and three times I appear to have been passed around to another agent, three time’s being asked to provide my name and info. Then get told someone will be with me. This is really poor customer service. Come back @virginmedia, all is forgiven.

  • markfrobi Mark Robinson (@markfrobi) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is abysmal. I am fed up of chatting to a robot or someone in india repeatedly asking me the same questions and getting absolutely nowhere. 3 engineer visits, many phonecalls, online chats (some not even answered) and still got nowhere.

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia @LadyHorkins Standard response from a truly shit company who tell lies and say an 82 yr old’s husband ordered sky films after he’d been dead for 9 months then deny any wrong doing in their internal enquiry. Then provide what I can only describe as a piss poor service ... don’t buy virgin

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • greydog1853 Neil Walmsley (@greydog1853) reported

    @virginmedia Well - it’s complicated… basically your retentions team mis-sold a bundle and tried to reverse out it - the good news is that I have finally found a customer service team member that a) listened and b) solved the problem. It’s been painful but (I think) it’s done. For now… 🤦🏻

  • MikeBeadle1 Mickybee (@MikeBeadle1) reported

    @virginmedia @KulSingh22 Having similar issues too

  • mcapplewindows Bernard Bradbury (@mcapplewindows) reported

    @virginmedia @Rogerandout2000 Are we supposed to thank you for honouring a contract? Investing in your infrastructure comes out of your business plan and current pricing and not inflationary increases. This is bunce that you'll pocket. Still leaving because I'm fed up with rising prices and poor service.

  • gregwm_ Greg (@gregwm_) reported

    @virginmedia Our neighbours had something installed and at the same time our internet went down, so the engineer messed something up.

  • TomStan22 Ch4os_Th3ory (@TomStan22) reported

    @MartinSLewis Dog water company with zero customer service and lying operators on the other end of the line. Once Toob broadband is on my street I'll be leaving Virgin Media.

  • videocelts Joe McHugh (@videocelts) reported

    @virginmedia when are you restoring broadband to full power in G74, this service isn't cheap, please answer more than I'm sorry.

  • PJandh jane doe (@PJandh) reported

    @virginmedia There are service issues but this doesn’t account for my appointment not being confirmed. Cables on pavement exposed.

  • HavenDK Haven DK (@HavenDK) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve got a WiFi pod installed also but it happens when I’m sat next to the route. It can be anywhere in the house. Thanks for the link though it doesn’t help. I’ve done it recently and previously. It’ll say a mix of things like interruption on the line but it doesn’t change it.

  • PCashmore paul cashmore (@PCashmore) reported

    @virginmedia Still not working! 2 days without a service? Good work guys 🫣

  • Hornyletloose David (@Hornyletloose) reported

    @virginmedia We asked you when we could cancel it was told anytime so we set up new suppliers so because of your operators incompetence we now have 2 suppliers.
