Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Westhead and nearby locations:

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia 38 days after the repull should’ve been done? You think that’s good customer service?

  • John_Kelly17 John Kelly (@John_Kelly17) reported from St Helens, England

    @CruisingTheCut I’ve had very few issues with virgin media - depends if you need TV though. Otherwise I’ve heard very good things about over the air using the three network or EE.

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    Day 42 of no service from @virginmedia. Engineer meant to be coming again today, think I’ve more chance of a unicorn showing up to be fair. 🦄

  • NatashaVic Capitã Nat (@NatashaVic) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to a human, please? It’s impossible to speak to anyone here. I paid for my bill via bank transfer more than a week ago and it hasn’t been registered. Phone service is not recognising my password and I can’t find a live chat.

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia All the while taking my direct debit payments for a service I am not getting

  • MarkLangshaw Mark Langshaw (@MarkLangshaw) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Was Thursday or Friday but you never call me back when you say you will, so I'm not confident it will be completed unless I keep chasing it up.

  • Radebreast Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia what have you done to the Sky TV app - its constantly buffering and showing error messages. Just awful service. Please can you get this sorted ASAP please.

  • BootleFCBucks Bootle Bucks (@BootleFCBucks) reported from Liverpool, England

    @JamesSymes8 Virgin Media. It keeps going really bad.

  • ZachcloseYT zach close YT 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia your Internet sucks

  • Robertlfc_ Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia just been took out of a game of fifa, that I was winning! Because of your awful internet. Get it fixed!!

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia are an absolute joke. Was told to call back at half 6 and guess what? They’re shut! And again, no engineer visit. Getting cancelled 1st thing in the morning. Over a month of total loss of service, piss take. #avoid

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.

  • Radebreast Graeme Radebe (@Radebreast) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi - Ive noticed alot of people are having the same issues. Its the Sky TV Go app on Playstation 4. Ive checked it on another internet and it works fine so it is definitely an error on your side. You need to sort the internet settings. It struggles to load “on Now” on the app.

  • DannyLannon dannyWAFClannon (@DannyLannon) reported from Wigan, England

    @Louisewafc @virginmedia Nice of Stoke fans turn up to support us

  • Gary_Kilroy Gary Kilroy (@Gary_Kilroy) reported from Liverpool, England

    Having the choice of the awful customer service of @virginmedia or the @bt_uk network which in my area might as well be two tin cans tied together with string is great!

  • agarnett Adam (@agarnett) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Is there any way to tell if there are signal issues in your area? This says i should get 4g indoors and outdoors, i dont though i can barely access mobile internet from my house. Last 3 months have been awful

  • JohnMurphy9172 murf (@JohnMurphy9172) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Just managed to get hold of someone, and apparently after over 10 years of no problems I now need WiFi boosters at an extra cost to myself all of a sudden, they couldn't tell me why just trying to squeeze more money out of me

  • MirLADas phil61efc (@MirLADas) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on virgin no tv since Friday morning told 5th now 6th no messages nothing paying for nothing compensation rates garbage nothing should take this long with a company like virgin L4 area

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia It’s to our address, we need a full repull and was told it would be done within 48hrs. This issue has been going on for months, they were just telling me to reboot the hub.

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia They’ve been today apparently to do the repull and nothing has changed. Still no service. I won’t be paying this month as I’m not paying for nothing.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DazzledMin DazzledMin (@DazzledMin) reported

    @virginmedia Your colleague identified poor wifi connection, she was going to ask raise a case for techs to investigate further. She was also going to see how virgin could compensate me for the poor service I’ve been receiving

  • DazzledMin DazzledMin (@DazzledMin) reported

    @virginmedia I haven’t tried those and I don’t think I should have to raise my issues again, your colleague was trying to raise the ticket and speak to a manager re compensation. That’s why she put me on hold….then ended the call. After 52 minutes of not achieving anything, I don’t think

  • alijbax1 Alison Clayton (@alijbax1) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service colleague specifically told me that it was not because I was an existing customer. But if it is, that’s even worse than the demand excuse.

  • giraffe67 nicola (@giraffe67) reported

    @virginmedia I would call 150 but again another complaint. My landline has not worked for at least two years, I have notified a few times, if you look on the notes of my contract!

  • RicardoVaxx Ricardo Vaxx (@RicardoVaxx) reported

    Can you @virginmedia have a rain proof service? Internet down in OX29 #internetdown #servicedown

  • DazzledMin DazzledMin (@DazzledMin) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service improves by me having to spend more time raising my query. One of your call operators should call me back and continue the call, in particular the lady that hung up on me. When bad customer service is given, you don’t fix it by getting the customer

  • dfarrell32 Danielle Farrell (@dfarrell32) reported

    @virginmedia on hold for an hour, only to have the call dropped? Need to cancel my contract today, is there a way I can do this on the Internet instead of wasting another hour on hold?

  • ameliaa_hall Amelia Louise (@ameliaa_hall) reported

    @virginmedia are very quick to respond when you tweet them asking the problem but when you tell them they take their time to respond (if they do ever respond) anyone want to respond to this tweet? Or do you want to keep ignoring that there is a problem with @virginmedia

  • DazzledMin DazzledMin (@DazzledMin) reported

    @virginmedia Understanding my frustration doesn’t really do much to help resolve the situation. I am going to have to get in touch again after wasting nearly an hour on the phone already, awful customer service #virginmedia #CustomerService

  • SamKnig55414127 Sam Knight (@SamKnig55414127) reported

    @virginmedia Got a call from one of your customer service reps to take payment for a broadband contract. They told me there was no way for me to pay my setup fee online, is there really no alternative to giving my card details over the phone?
