  • minkewales minkewales (@minkewales) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Dabooka @skybiggerpic @virginmedia It was my second attempt to be fair. First time they reduced the price rise to £1.50 per month, then I rang back a few days later to cancel. Found a better deal elsewhere but price was the driver for wanting to leave. Lovely @virginmedia agent was able to help!

  • ThunderbirdWPC Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    Been hanging on phone to @virginmedia for 19 mins and then got cut off! Was 54 mins the other week. Do you think we have time just to sit around! Problems with tv service! Same yesterday in our NE16 area

  • jameshedges4 James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I need someone to contact me immediately as I need to make a serious complaint about service. Completely ready to escalate to higher management as this incompetence of this company is a disgrace

  • neosalad neosalad (@neosalad) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @SundSaeed @virginmedia Engineer booked for Tuesday. Not happy. No football! No @carltonkirby #homeofcycling AND NO xbox @GearsofWar times on Saturday NIGHT. TESTS SAY NO Issues. But there is issues. #NE6

  • GlocketCosplay ✾Bam Bam✾ (@GlocketCosplay) reported from Dunston, England

    Yeah great, I lose my TFT ranked after hard winning most of it because @virginmedia internet service goes down more consistently then most men.

  • lukejameson17 luke jameson (@lukejameson17) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia right you want to explain why my broadband is at 4mbps when there’s no “issue” in my area... hate to tell you there clearly ******* is

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Worst broadband and cable provider of all time.

  • neosalad neosalad (@neosalad) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Nice one @virginmedia I've missed all the 2nd half of the match now. No BB, no Tivo. And your still billing me a higher rate than was agreed when I did the tests which say no issues in my area. Tried resets.

  • NuttyRichie Richard Payne (@NuttyRichie) reported from South Shields, England

    @MrChrisWynn @Simon21ne @virginmedia @nowtvhelp @SkyHelpTeam I managed one week before cancelling! Sky says I have so many devices that it’s slowing the hub down, in 2019 that’s piss poor

  • NuttyRichie Richard Payne (@NuttyRichie) reported from South Shields, England

    Another blackout on @virginmedia

  • Selwynsaint Selwyn St.Bernard🇹🇹🇬🇩 (@Selwynsaint) reported from Longbenton, England

    If @virginmedia offer you a 6 month free upgrade do not accept it. It is a way of locking you into a further contract. Poor service as always

  • ThunderbirdWPC Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia The person that put me on hold said it looked like there was a problem in our area and tried to put me through to technical help but after music droning on for ages it just stopped. Have given up and watching a dvd instead

  • brtoon Brian Reid (@brtoon) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Worst customer service from any broadband company. Avoid like the plague.

  • andychristie999 ac (@andychristie999) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia over the last few years virgin media internet has got worse the people that work in the call centres are so abrupt and rude I’ve called approximately 10 in the last 5 months and still have a intermittent fault on my internet service !!!!

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia This lithium service you use is to get people off social media. It obfuscates and is unable to resolve anything. I'll take my chance in the legal system and with independent ombudsman.

  • trisgallagher Hot Acid Rhythms (@trisgallagher) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Every single day for the last week my router just turns itself off and starts to update or drops out completely. Paying a lot of money for this service and it just isn’t good enough.

  • Wardixo Jonathon Ward (@Wardixo) reported from South Shields, England

    Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

  • TaylorBurgen93 Taylor (@TaylorBurgen93) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia your customer service team is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard! Routers not working switch off then back on... it’s broken I can book an engineer for Saturday....

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • storywhispers Whispering Stories 💙 (@storywhispers) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not an internet issue as such. It is that the broadband doesn’t work in the whole of the house or drops intermittently in some upstairs rooms. When you are working from home it is rather annoying.

  • Cannesle Carol Annesley (@Cannesle) reported

    @jesslalau @virginmedia It's so frustrating especially as my EE network is playing up too 😢

  • Cannesle Carol Annesley (@Cannesle) reported

    @virginmedia @jesslalau Ours has been down in BR5 since early morning estimated fix was 3pm alas still down and now virgin website says its having technical issues 😠

  • Nomine_9 Nomin (@Nomine_9) reported

    @virginmedia How will the service in my house be fixed? This is not related to the broadband issue

  • Hainzamousprime Lee Haines-Rodgers (@Hainzamousprime) reported

    @virginmedia Yes a £35 for instillation and an additional £30 for set up fees which was never advertised or what was agreed to when I signed up

  • SK21878 SK2 (@SK21878) reported

    @virginmedia I was told they could only apply an 'agent discount' of £6 per month. Instead they asked me to upgrade to a better package (to avoid the recent issues) but pay extra for the privilege. What I am looking for is a reduction in my monthly cost but keep or gain better broadband.

  • MisterScorpio77 Mister Scorpio (@MisterScorpio77) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely horrendous customer service. Bill has crept up from £27 to a whopping £57.99 people on phone line faking technical problems, people on live chat blind transferring me to mobile department cos he didn't know what to do... Absolutely terrible service

  • jesslalau Jessica Lalau (@jesslalau) reported

    @Cannesle @virginmedia All the way to Bromley!! Geeeeeez. I just wish they would admit there’s a large problem in the SE rather than acting like everyone’s issue is different and asking ME to waste MY time by calling them to “sort it out”

  • OfficialLukeD Luke (@OfficialLukeD) reported

    @virginmedia "no issue"

  • DavidWheater David “Still Not the Footballer” Wheater (@DavidWheater) reported

    I can't even pursuade my phone to stay connected long enough to pay for the bloody car park. I know I'm not the only one who has problems, I just don't understand why you don't take Virgin Media to task. This is beyond incompetance, is it deliberate?
