    This is really awful all round. Really hope virginmedia come to their senses

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

    @virginmedia Sorted now but 1/2 hr wait is unacceptable you should be informing customers of waiting times and/or offering callback service. #Amazon and #eBay do this really well.

  • Alisonbirchall4 Alison Birchall (@Alisonbirchall4) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia and I can’t get on the service status page either!

  • colefc1 Col (@colefc1) reported from Seaforth, England

    Advise anyone not to use virgin media there customer service is atrocious find yourselves a better internet service supplier ..

  • libbyjaynekeane Libby Keane (@libbyjaynekeane) reported from Liverpool, England

    @EmmaBall5 @virginmedia Ohh Emma you’re in for a treat with these 😂😂 worst customer service ever

  • soniaagnew1 Sonia (@soniaagnew1) reported from Liverpool, England

    Upgraded my @virginmedia WiFi package a few weeks ago on advice from call centre - still absolute rubbish signal even at 7am on a Sunday morning! #ivebeenconned

  • JonGre69 Grolshy (@JonGre69) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia WiFi off again phone up and I get asked to call again at a more convienient time because you are busy. Do you know why you’re busy it’s because I expect you have thousands of others irate customers calling you because your service is SHITE! 😡

  • kaths77x Kathryn Skelly (@kaths77x) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No it’s not worth explaining things once again, I’ve spoke to customer service, I spoke to someone on here the other day and I’ve spoke to the resolutions team and have just been fobbed off by all 😡

  • kaths77x Kathryn Skelly (@kaths77x) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia disgusted that as a valued customer for over 15 years, I’m moving property, wanting to move my services to my new address but because it is above a business you will not install so you are charging me for closing my account which I do not want to do 😡

  • davemc_exile Dave McCormack (@davemc_exile) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia We are talking to them and not to be disrespectful but they are clueless. All you care about is getting the contract signed then tough for the future - it is a shocking way to do business and I work in sales and would get sacked for the way to treat existing clients

  • davemc_exile Dave McCormack (@davemc_exile) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia your customer service borders on awful all morning trying to sort tv packages out and still none the wiser

  • Lucy8720 Lucy87 (@Lucy8720) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Look. Same again, Joke of a company. Wish id NEVER gone with Virgin. Sorry kids, cant watch the rest of the film on family night because our internet is ****.

  • davemc_exile Dave McCormack (@davemc_exile) reported from Warrington, England

    Really frustrated with @virginmedia customer service - or lack of customer service can’t give us the correct information, 4 calls and been put on hold for 13 minutes with out being told why - @SkyUK are you any better might give you a call

  • colefc1 Col (@colefc1) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Sorted I’ve since been contacted over the issue I’ve got and hope it will be resolved I really think you need to sort some kind of UK call centre no offence meant to any others overseas centres thank you!!

  • kaths77x Kathryn Skelly (@kaths77x) reported from Liverpool, England

    Absolutely shocking ‘customer service’ if that’s what you can call it from @virginmedia I would not recommend them whatsoever and will not be to any of my friends and family, thanks for nothing 😡

  • BobbyBattersby bobby (@BobbyBattersby) reported from Chorley, England

    @ITV gone down on @virginmedia

  • davemc_exile Dave McCormack (@davemc_exile) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I will certainly do this sorry but absolutely shocking customer service strongly thinking about moving now

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

    ITV is down on Virgin Media in Liverpool. This means Gardeners’ World is going to get ratings akin to City of Death Part 4.

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

    @virginmedia You can start by reimbursing my Mother for one, it’s disgusting this type of thing goes on. How dare you say my dead Father ordered Sky cinema, something he would never have done in the first instance. You really do need to get your customer care in order

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

    @virginmedia Not yet it hasn’t but a complaint will certainly be raised. I am on my way out, so sorry no..

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Faffiani Curt (@Faffiani) reported

    @virginmedia call answered just before 100 mins on hold. Gave my details again, explained the issue again. "Second line support will get back to you in 48hrs" great, thanks guys 👍👀

  • seanraaron Sean Aaron (@seanraaron) reported

    Just got an offer letter from Virgin Media for their new M200 broadband and granted 200Mbps sounds great, but an extra £50/mo over my current bill is eye-watering as is the cheek of a £35 “activation fee” - apparently because I’m an existing customer.

  • benjiheath89 Ben Heath (@benjiheath89) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying to leave and move to Sky but I cannot get through to anyone on your phone lines (been on hold for an hour). Are you able to help any other way?

  • cheltenhamlady anne selley (@cheltenhamlady) reported

    @virginmedia Forget all this hype, just give me a decent service and at better prices for loyal customers

  • AleixoGomes4 Aleixo Gomes (@AleixoGomes4) reported

    @virginmedia you have said there will be compensation scheme in place for total loss of service , and no there is none offered , but bills are generated well in time

  • AleixoGomes4 Aleixo Gomes (@AleixoGomes4) reported

    @virginmedia the loss of service was for more then a day without internet , and now your custo rep says there is no compensation in place for intermittent dont understand the planned outage meaning , does it not have to be reported to the customer in advance ? #virginmediadown #virginmedia

  • _laurenjade Lauren ‎🌻 (@_laurenjade) reported

    Virgin media is the worst internet provider 🙄

  • LeeMurf299 Lee Murphy (@LeeMurf299) reported

    @virginmedia Hours on hold to report faults. Links on website take you round in circles. This is not supposed to be this hard. Paying good money to get a service that you just don't provide and can't get through to resolve these when they go wrong.

  • AleixoGomes4 Aleixo Gomes (@AleixoGomes4) reported

    @virginmedia guess what , virgin media custome rep on message chat says a techinical issue a planned outage . actions none taken for a planned outage , none reported to customer for backup plans and where we investigated on the issue with planned outage where virgin M had no clue

  • helloellaxo Ella (@helloellaxo) reported from Maidstone, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m switching to Virgin broadband next week (being installed) but my Now broadband doesn’t end until the 11th, is that going to be a problem? Can it still be installed? Thank you
