  • gray_h81 Gray H (@gray_h81) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia have got to be the worst network providers ever. 10 times worse than @Sky10mbps which is saying something - 2 months in and haven’t got a clue what they are doing 🤬😡

  • joniredchops Joniredchops (@joniredchops) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Cancelled yesterday. Was happy at £25 a month. Looks like we're off to Vodafone or Plusnet for £22. Shame really, been a decent service.

  • renzair Renzair (@renzair) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia If your internet service to St. Helens could be anything other than complete dogshit for more than five minutes that’d be swell. Since 7:30 this morning, constant outages of internet service. STILL happening at 16:00. Thanks (for nothing). Again.

  • paulridgway95 paul ridgway (@paulridgway95) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Tivo box was on for about 20 mins then shut down and re booted it's self

  • rider45 Brian O'Keefe (@rider45) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia Never got a reply so my sister as account holder has sent a text but still awaiting a reply.

  • brownpigeon1 Brown Pigeon (@brownpigeon1) reported from Liverpool, England

    @APATBillShep @virginmedia Been blaming my connection problems on knackered laptop in the Swan, but general concensus appears to be that @virginmedia is just crap

  • helen_c_murphy Helen C Murphy (@helen_c_murphy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia having issues with connectivity & slow speed. I'm working from home & this is causing me a LOT of stress. I still have targets. Hard to do when the internet is crawling & up & down like a yoyo. Been like this for 2 weeks. Diagnostics say no problem 😥😭

  • topbalcony Tom Kelly (@topbalcony) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia I have been unable to access my Blueyonder e mail for 2 weeks now. I have tried the recommended fixes to no Avila and am told I might wait for an hour to have someone answer my call. £80 a month for a broken service is a bit on the steep side

  • pauldmcdermott Paul McDermott (@pauldmcdermott) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @a_tunstall @virginmedia Cancel the DD and rest assured they will be in touch 👌🏼

  • LisVegas81 Lisa (@LisVegas81) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia please help online isn’t getting me anywhere, no one answers questions this is my last hope.... I need a signal boost due to working from home... help

  • Stephjjmn Steph Nash (@Stephjjmn) reported from Wigan, England

    @stevenfrost3003 @virginmedia @skytv We had the same problems, went to Sky who are much cheaper with better deals and service, never looked back 👍🏼

  • ndmerc Nick Mercer (@ndmerc) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia customers suffering the usual standard of service from virgin Media again. Denial of service should see customers compensated, customer service appears to be the lowest priority.

  • scottcvrroll Scott Carroll (@scottcvrroll) reported from Liverpool, England

    @JacobAlderHam @virginmedia Shocking isn’t it mate, I’ve not been able to use streaming devices or gaming devices for a few weeks without constant spikes and buffering. I pay for 200 down and receive about 40... so much packet loss. Shambles.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LukeusJ Luke (@LukeusJ) reported

    @virginmedia I had no issue waiting for a permit. It takes as long as it takes. But why did it take so long to apply for it and why did it take several phone calls and contact with the area manager in order to get it applied for. That’s my issue really bad communication and customer service.

  • LukeusJ Luke (@LukeusJ) reported

    @virginmedia And then why cancel appointments with no explanation? It has happened time and time again. As I said most recent being 1st April. After the permit was obtained and the groundwork on the road was done. Resulting in an even longer wait.

  • Sherida75141556 Sheridan (@Sherida75141556) reported

    @virginmedia I’m really struggling with my wifi and mobile signal any recommendations please?

  • lauriemorgen LaurieMorgen #DifferentByDefault. (@lauriemorgen) reported

    @virginmedia I can't sit looking at my phone all day. I've tried ringing you and passed around in circles. I got the text service when I rang. I can't hear my text message tone. I CAN hear my phone ring and I CAN talk on the phone.

  • devil_s_choir Gabi Ordys (@devil_s_choir) reported

    @virginmedia how can you cancel a phone contract that has been paid off for months now that you don't need anymore?

  • SandyBear2003 Izzy (@SandyBear2003) reported

    @virginmedia still having problems cancelling my account and useless customer service 🤬 can someone sort this out it’s been going on for months 😩

  • Ain_ya_ Ain•Ya (@Ain_ya_) reported

    @Samyaa_x @virginmedia Omg thank God for Sky! That would’ve left you in the ****. I dunno what is wrong with Virgin forreal, they’re terrible

  • jontylangley Jonty Langley (@jontylangley) reported

    @coopukinsurance For the record, both the initial person I spoke to and their manager seemed like nice people but they have been in no way empowered to give useful customer service. You actually look bad next to @virginmedia which is honestly bizarre.

  • _amylholland Amy Holland (@_amylholland) reported

    @virginmedia But there household had an account? My grandma can’t help the sudden passing of my grandad you’d think you’d just transfer it and not apply a double bill in the first place! Won’t they have paid this when they set their account up? Now your enforcing she has to set up a new one?

  • DannyLee1980 Danny Smith (@DannyLee1980) reported

    @Luciachi91 @virginmedia Request to raise a formal complaint through the complaints department don't go through customer service as they would lie and say a complaint was raised. Had this issue many years ago.
