  • Shellifumi Steve Shelbourne (@Shellifumi) reported from Aintree Village, England

    @AllenWeso6 @1878shadow @virginmedia Just binned them off to go back to Sky. Been paying for the all singing and dancing fibre broadband and it’s slower then my work mobile router! TV picture is dog rough and my Virgin Mobile sim won’t take calls from anyone on the EE network when I’m connected to the WiFi! See ya!

  • DarrenMoggie66 Darren (@DarrenMoggie66) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia That’s fine I’ve been in contact with CISAS in regards to your poor service and extremely poor customer service and me not receiving what I pay for

  • MILoft91 Mark (@MILoft91) reported from Haydock, England

    I’m paying for 500mb broadband and it’s averaging 15mb?! Wtf @virginmedia

  • memcalea_maire Maire Cubbin (@memcalea_maire) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Thank you , as my husband said the other night we have spent hours on the phone this last month . Got told the other night this months bill will be suspended whilst they fix the problem . We will wait and see does any of the above happen then we will leave contract if not .

  • memcalea_maire Maire Cubbin (@memcalea_maire) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for the info, leaving due to 6 weeks of problems and very many hours on the phone to yourselves trying to rectify . Told problems sorted when they clearly are not . Causing personal stress to me every time I make another long futile phone call to 150 ( waited 3hrs once)

  • memcalea_maire Maire Cubbin (@memcalea_maire) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Yes formal complaint ..... the problem is at your end I believe and we aren’t the only customers in the area affected . It’s just frustrating to be sent messages to say the problem is fixed when it’s clearly not . Enough stress in life without all of this . Leaving contract it is

  • gmshilly Greg Shillinglaw (@gmshilly) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia no broadband, is there problems in my area please?

  • Paulwhittle8 Whittle (@Paulwhittle8) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @GripperTake68 @virginmedia Virgin Media as a whole are shocking at providing any sort of customer service mate.

  • ShaunAFitzy78 Shaun Fitzsimmons (@ShaunAFitzy78) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia I'm not a customer, I was just reciting what appears to be a generic message of customer service centre's, cheers anyway

  • Nathann_B Nathan Booth (@Nathann_B) reported from Liverpool, England

    Is it just me or @virginmedia mobile gone down 🤬🤬

  • Paulwhittle8 Whittle (@Paulwhittle8) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @FairCop_ @virginmedia Disgusting as ever. Shocking customer service.

  • AmandaDavies07 Amanda Davies (@AmandaDavies07) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia appears to be an issue with broadband / internet / phone in Warrington, Cheshire. Anybody else?

  • memcalea_maire Maire Cubbin (@memcalea_maire) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia We are never off the phone to your team for a month now . It’s been escalated to the top apparently on our last call a couple of nights ago . Then we receive a message to say all is well when it’s clearly not . New router and everything . Looking to come out of contract now .

  • memcalea_maire Maire Cubbin (@memcalea_maire) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia Mentioned but not offered as I think they know the problem isn’t in our home . The problem that’s been supposedly fixed is ongoing since 26th Jan . Our minimum download speed is supposed to hardwired at 181 . New router and we are lucky if we get 80 on a good day. Never mind 😞

  • Dan_Richards99 Daniel Richards (@Dan_Richards99) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia 58.5 down and 36 up (wired)

  • ShaunAFitzy78 Shaun Fitzsimmons (@ShaunAFitzy78) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @DaveRidgway2 @virginmedia 'We are experiencing really high call numbers at this time, most issues can be fixed online, or you may like to call back another time'...

  • TeelingChris Chris Teeling (@TeelingChris) reported from Ormskirk, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 1tappleby Thomas Appleby (@1tappleby) reported

    @virginmedia I paid for an upgrade to the broadband package because the service was so poor and now I'm being penalised for paying more money after upgrading to the highest package. This is not good corporate behaviour and falls well below minimum standards expected

  • MooresVicky Vicky Moores (@MooresVicky) reported

    @virginmedia I've messaged countless times now for the same thing, I'm unsure what you need to chat about! Just send somebody to fix it please

  • dubysam Sam Duby (@dubysam) reported

    @virginmedia I did, that's how I got to booking the engineer. But it turned out to be an area outage and it's just been fixed. Thanks.

  • stevenmontagu16 steven montague (@stevenmontagu16) reported

  • MLuker85 Mark Luker (@MLuker85) reported

    @virginmedia I will have intermittent service until October when the upgrade work has finished. The call centre tried to tell me i was notified of the work back in January (never happened as i keep all emails from VM)

  • MLuker85 Mark Luker (@MLuker85) reported

    @virginmedia I was never told of the problems. How on earth can i have an intermittent service until October? That's appaling!
