Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, EnglandWhy can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.
-
Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help
-
Ceeb 🏴🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England@bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

-
Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandWhat will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Martin Jones (@MHartleyJones) reported@virginmedia OK Thanks. A technician will be visiting us tomorrow, though I suspect that the fault is in your exchange switch. My point is that you should keep repairs and sales separate. A customer with a serious phone problem is unlikely to buy extra services at that time.
-
Terry Cooke 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇮🇱 (@tezcooke) reported@virginmedia your routers really are ****!!! I’m sat in garden, in direct line of maybe 8 metres from router and can’t get wifi signal. If only you valued quality of service !
-
stevefairclough (@stevefairclough) reported@virginmedia What a shitshow. Possibly the worst experience I’ve had in my life trying to deal with your crappy AI bots… I’d appreciate a phone number….
-
Anne Bradford (@AnneGBradford) reported@virginmedia Yes you are virgin media @virginmedia It was the help crew or someone pretending to be from them that tried to scam us with their what's app message, getting us to download an app we had never heard of and trying to get our bank details! When we asked why, they suddenly hung up!
-
.Bad (@Badmufc) reportedHey @virginmedia My nets been down since 10 o'clock last night got any information on anything at MK42 8TS. Can't even make a phonecall to VM 😭
-
Darc Knight (@DarcKni68649817) reported@virginmedia If the service is not paid for, it is stopped. @virginmedia is not giving you the consideration of old time customer. So why then is it OK to triple the bill of any household? Pay over 3 what they should pay for 9 months? Give a public explanation before I give my account details
-
john downey (@johndowney74) reported@virginmedia is there an issue with broadband in Leixlip area today? Seems to be poor connectivity

ThatGoku (@ThatFoxGoku) reportedVirgin Media down again in my area. Was looking forward to streaming today. Good job it’s not my livelihood. Imagine being a big streamer earning thousands a day and this happens. That’d be a big compensation bill going to #virginmedia

Savannah (@justicenowxxx) reported@O2 @O2Help @VirginMedia I have been ignored for a week by your complaints team. I am now in Mexico with no service at all despite written assurances that Mexico is covered under my Inclusive Zone benefit. Complaint ref: C‑2707267834. Urgent senior‑level fix required today.
