  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia .... 0420 and still no service 😡😡😡😡😡

  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia every month I have the same issue. Go to pay bill and despite having Google auto password (which works on every other thing I log in) it says my log in is wrong and I have to reset it EVERY MONTH!! EVERY MONTH!! IT'S RIDICULOUS

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia three times since I first reported that I was having problems with all my services and it has gone down again

  • Earlosnicho Earl Nicholson (@Earlosnicho) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia @MTVMusicUK Wish your customer services staff could answers customers and solve issues as much or as quick as you advertise on social media #poorservice #buffer #noconnection #groundhogday

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    Can’t continue to work remotely from for the NHS if this #virginmedia issue is on-going 😭

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @spookysquidd @virginmedia Thanks for your input 🙄 I have issues with how bad the customer service is in general. On that note it’s back down... 😴😴😴😴

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @DavidAHSleath @virginmedia I love the customer service when they just end the call half way through trying ‘to help’ I once spent 5 hours back and forwards with the every part of the business... engineers... blah blah blah... still was no better! Until I managed to get through to Scotland! 👍🏼

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • IAmLunarLizzy LunarLizzy (@IAmLunarLizzy) reported

    @virginmedia We have done this countless times and nobody ever resolves our issue. Ever. They say they will “call back in 4 hours” and they never ever do. Why is this? This is completely unacceptable, I am losing money from not being able to work.

  • Chrisdays8 Chris Days (@Chrisdays8) reported

    @virginmedia I have used your online service checker and everytime it's says it's a know problem. At least 4 times of long duration and multiple short drops each day. I haven't recieved anything saying why it is happening.

  • nazmantoo Naz Mantoo (@nazmantoo) reported

    @virginmedia It’s the same process, it’s just speaking with someone! Except the messages are a four hour wait! It’s actually pretty bad to suggest that I go via this process after I have said I was on phone to someone for 8 hours yesterday where I was falsely promised. Awful customer service.

  • 69polaris69 Paul H (@69polaris69) reported

    @davidleeraynor @virginmedia So why are not other providers doing this? #VirginGreedier have been doing this FOR YEARS-so to use lockdown as an excuse is really poor! Walk away like I did-Freview or Freesat is FREE-just buy a #HUMAX box for recording and switch to someone like #plusnet-I have saved THOUSANDS

  • nazmantoo Naz Mantoo (@nazmantoo) reported

    @virginmedia You’re telling me to speak to a robot about my issue?! This honestly unbelievable. We have had no internet since Dec and this is your advice?!

  • Dilly1875Gill Gill Pawlowski (@Dilly1875Gill) reported

    @virginmedia Back on at the moment but has been very poor recently.I have two people working from home and my son has on online exam tomorrow! It is happening far too frequently. 40 mins trying to get through yesterday and still didn't get to speak to anyone.

  • doubledutch13 John van Dieken (@doubledutch13) reported from Methil, Scotland

    @virginmedia No I can’t get through. Followed online guidance. The router is dropping out. Reset and rebooted numerous times. Simple fix send out a replacement??

  • aligee2379 Ali Hill (@aligee2379) reported

    @virginmedia Doesn’t sort my problem though does it...

  • nazmantoo Naz Mantoo (@nazmantoo) reported

    @virginmedia I’m sure you can appreciate how bad it is to suggest that I spend more hours on this, after I’ve spent 20 hours and extra money to sort my own internet. You really don’t care about your customers or their experience
