  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia not used my package for 4 weeks. You said you would send someone out to reconnect, which never happened, you keep passing me to different departments. you still have the cheek to send me a bill. Still waiting for the free return package to send your equipment back

  • jenlew1983 Jeanette Lewis (@jenlew1983) reported from Liverpool, England

    Yet again my @virginmedia TV isn't working and yet again there's no help on the website and no answer on the phone.....exactly what am I paying my bill for??!!

  • StuartWilksHeeg Stuart Wilks-Heeg (@StuartWilksHeeg) reported from Seaforth, England

    I literally cannot distinguish between real @virginmedia customer service calls and the scammers. And this isn't because the scammers have suddenly got very good.

  • jonathansc Jonathan SC ن Esq. (@jonathansc) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Thank you for the update - how can you more that 12 hours after the incident occurred only just be sending an engineer to try and fix @virginmedia

  • KeithJBolton Keith Bolton (@KeithJBolton) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Done all that and booked an engineer for Friday but just had a text saying my engineer is on hold while investigate a network problem affecting services

  • ann_ellison Kerrie-Ann Ellison (@ann_ellison) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia 30 day cancellation is nearly up, just waiting on the returns packaging to arrive. But don’t see why I have to pay £150 for a service I’ve not been able to use for a month

  • MadRabbitLady75 Hannah McKay (@MadRabbitLady75) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia They answered, established they couldn't sell me a new product then told me to phone back in the day my contract ends and immediately hung up.. If it was clearly stated online in your info "don't phone us to cancel until your contract ends" I'd have saved 35 minutes of my day..

  • Mattj1878 M Joni (@Mattj1878) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia @Tyson_Fury @DillianWhyte It's not working is it?

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • smudger2005 andrew smith (@smudger2005) reported

    @virginmedia But he didn’t. I went online and it did a check and said I had WiFi issues and to come back in 24 hours to see if it was resolved. I also rang the 0345 and went through the automated process which sent a signal because I had a fault. Also spoke to someone who sent a signal

  • KevinBurgin5 Kevin Burgin (@KevinBurgin5) reported

    @virginmedia I will try the forum if I don't receive any useful information I am seriously considering ending my contract with Virgin media I have also tried contacting Virgin via 150 but I am not prepared to wait up to an hour or more for customer service.

  • smudger2005 andrew smith (@smudger2005) reported

    @virginmedia Really. I would have sent an engineer over a year ago when it all started. At the moment I’m looking at buying a mesh system to see if this resolves the issue. If not I’m gone. All you seem to do is want money. Not one of the departments help.

  • RichHoblyn Rich Hoblyn, Esq. ❌ #RZST #ReformUK (@RichHoblyn) reported

    @realsb4feelings Dreadful company. Appalling customer relations. I hope Virgin Media go bust. They don't deserve to stay in business

  • wolverine_tech wolverine (@wolverine_tech) reported

    @smudger2005 @virginmedia I used the Eero mesh to solve my wifi issues; best to have the router in modem mode - but then you loose their support. upto you? as their support is rubbish, then again my network has never been better!

  • AdaM_BcFc_93 AdaM BcFc 93 (@AdaM_BcFc_93) reported

    @virginmedia once again I can not get through to the text team as I don't know the information! yet you told me to go there!!!!!!! i am taking legal action now. 7 months to cancel is beyond a joke

  • TytieMae Tytie-Mae D (@TytieMae) reported

    @virginmedia @Wood60728795 It would help if your team actually picked up. The wait to speak to an agent is 2 hours. How is that helping ?

  • APFaz Andy Farrell (@APFaz) reported

    @virginmedia Still one you managed to make during a nation lock down though isn't it which believe it or not is why your customers have had the misfortune of using you more than ever.

  • smudger2005 andrew smith (@smudger2005) reported

    @wolverine_tech @virginmedia Crap that we have to sort our issues out our selves out of our pockets

  • lizzie0110 Lizzie Peters 💙 (@lizzie0110) reported

    @virginmedia having problems with connectivity. Think the router is the problem. Is it possible to issue us with a new one?
