  • jmcloughlin Jamie McLoughlin (@jmcloughlin) reported from Liverpool, England

    Any Virgin Media customers in Liverpool having wi-if issues? We can’t connect to it at all.

  • ianfarr Ian Farr (@ianfarr) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia how difficult it was trying to cancel a contract that's got less than 2 weeks left to run. Cant be charging people to cancel a contract with that amount of time. Plus you took more money off me last bill. Ridiculous customer service

  • jurrjurrtbull GRT 🪐 (@jurrjurrtbull) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia It says it’s fine in my area, maybe it’s the account transferring over. I can’t even sign in yet to see either :(

  • imsophieeee soph (@imsophieeee) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia is virgin down in my area? I can’t access the service status page for Merseyside :(

  • antjones47 Anthony Jones (@antjones47) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia There is no problems in the area... equipment is all plugged in/installed properly. My wife is working from home & keeps getting interrupted & misses calls etc.... Needs sorting now

  • StetheH Ste the H ⚽️🥊 (@StetheH) reported from Liverpool, England

    Set the @virginmedia hub 4 up and is performing worse than the previous. Watching the boxing via sky go and keeps stalling and buffering. Also before when checked the speed it was 20mb when pay for 100mb. Waste of money as never get what pay for.

  • Gembles13 Gemma Elizabeth (@Gembles13) reported from Rainhill, England

    @virginmedia Are there services issues in L35?? The website won't let me us the postcode checker and our Internet is down!

  • antjones47 Anthony Jones (@antjones47) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia My internet keeps going off on a daily basis for roughly 10/15 mins at a time 2:3 times a day. I have a complaint going thru....There will be another one if you don’t sort out this problem & the other problems within the next 24hrs

  • jurrjurrtbull GRT 🪐 (@jurrjurrtbull) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The transfer is still processing I believe but the wifi is still down

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

    Really not easy trying to work from home with @virginmedia Internet Like EVERY day intermittent connection problems 😡

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

    @virginmedia Done service check to maximum of 6 per day. Advises no Internet, then intermittent Internet. Tried all procedures as advised to no avail 😡 this is not a good look on my behalf during work related conference calls 😬

  • SynysterZero1 Synyster Zero - Mafia (Definitive Edition) (@SynysterZero1) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No, I'm great. No problems with Virgin Media. 👍🏻

  • Liam_Hawksey Goth Scouser (@Liam_Hawksey) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia How come new customers (including my next door neighbours) can get 1gig broadband but I can’t get it as an existing customer? The site keeps telling me the 350mb is the fastest available when it isn’t?

  • MisterDaz MisterDaz (@MisterDaz) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    Hard to accept an email from @virginmedia stated our new 360 box is £27 cheaper for new customers, but we’re an existing customer so we have to pay more. They may as well have signed off the email with ‘f*ck you’.

  • DeanPicko Dean (@DeanPicko) reported from Warrington, England

    Rang to downgrade @virginmedia package, spoke to 3 different advisors and it appears the prices are literally plucked from their arses on the spot offering less of a discount than at first 🤦🏻 no customer loyalty & staff dont care. Req cancellation after the poor service today!

  • irichard94 Ian Richards (@irichard94) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia I rang yesterday and you offered a new monthly rate for our package going forward. You then emailed confirming a higher price. I have tried 3 times to use your messaging service but, after giving details of my query, the chat then goes dead! Very poor service!

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

    @virginmedia what’s the point of that message us part in the app you never answer it asks me every day if I still need help and says I’m going to be transferred then I never get anywhere

  • antjones47 Anthony Jones (@antjones47) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia I’m fed up of calling your team! I’ve been on the phone to them constantly since the 25th of September to get this all sorted! As I’ve said I’ve made one complaint already & yet you do nothing! Pathetic

  • steven_rothwell steven rothwell (@steven_rothwell) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia how do I make a complaint about the installation at my mums property?

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MattchooLUFC Matthew Heather (@MattchooLUFC) reported

    @virginmedia due to a error on your part and a bloke from your customer service department removing my discounts from my account when I made a change on my account has now resulted in me getting a bill for £150 I really wanna leave now 😭

  • JodiiKane Jodi (@JodiiKane) reported

    @virginmedia It's wireless and no way to make it wired as its in a loft conversion. Just strange as there was no issue at all before the upgrade. So the distance from the router wasn't a problem before now.

  • patpatbinks PatPat Binks (@patpatbinks) reported

    Hey @virginmedia my Internet is down and I need to work! I've check the status and it says no issues in my area. It's definitely the router! Any help would be appreciated!

  • LCullumbine Lynn Cullumbine (@LCullumbine) reported

    @virginmedia I will definitely be making a complaint. Please can you tell me when you say you will pass this on to whom will you be passing it on to?

  • Rainboy90 Rainboy (@Rainboy90) reported

    @virginmedia It has been on "We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way" over 38 hours now.

  • Withhsingh Harpreet Singh (@Withhsingh) reported

    @virginmedia I’m try to get support on intermittent connections for almost 2 days and have done factory reset few time, what should do now ???

  • joannabircherQI Joanna Bircher (@joannabircherQI) reported

    @virginmedia We have no internet in Postcode SK3 8HE. Can you help?

  • CaroleWinter Carole Winter (@CaroleWinter) reported from Royal Tunbridge Wells, England

    @virginmedia seriously poor customer service. Inefficient self help website, live chat hopeless. Avoid at all costs - or it will cost you!

  • bradfel Bradley Feller (@bradfel) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I can call the team for the 4th time, and hopefully get someone that knows the hub4. How do I escalate this as we are paying for a service we are not getting as well as having to come into an office in London during a pandemic

  • rick_webb Rick Webb (@rick_webb) reported

    Ah excellent, start the work day at 9am... guess what goes down...... @virginmedia!!! Why am I not surprised! Estimated fix: 3pm?!?!? Looks like I’m not working today then 😡
