  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @Virgin @virginmedia #virginmediadown #VirginMedia Imagine paying £52 a month for Internet to be down for 5 days. We work from home. I've used all my 4g, had to buy more to do my job yet when you call up they say it'll be fixed by.. and keeps being postponeded. Fix it Virgin.

  • haylesxxx1 *Hayley* (@haylesxxx1) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia hi, after so many years of being a customer, do you send out new upgrades? My router keeps dipping and going off, been doing it for awhile now, couple of weeks.

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia No point, there is a problem but it shows there aren't any issues in the area.

  • SeanKeyes Sean (@SeanKeyes) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia I was heavily sold a renewal based on an engineer installing+configuring everything as we are meant to have the fastest Wi-Fi possible.I installed it and no sign of an engineer,no follow up from Virgin. As per usual.Was also sold some ‘VIP service’ line that’s never been shared!

  • _samhowell ⚒ Sam ⚒ Warrington Hammer ⚒ (@_samhowell) reported from Warrington, England

    Also @virginmedia need to remind their call centre staff that customers are not idiots; the guy I was talking to had no idea why the link wasnt working so asdvised me to "Try again after 5, if its still not working call back" wonder if he managed clock out bang on 5?

  • Hendy14 Scott Henderson (@Hendy14) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Is there a problem with your phone system? My Mum has been trying to call for 24 hours on numerous occasions to change package but gets cut off every single time. Your mentions suggest this is happening to lots of others too. Can somebody arrange a callback please?

  • LawAspi TheAspiLawStudent #NoReturns (@LawAspi) reported from Chorley, England

    @nerdscav @the_hinchy @virginmedia Yes because a WiFi extender will fix the issue when it's the incoming line and not the hardware 😳. The routers gives a 3ping and 1GBps connection. The issue is virgin's crappy network 👍

  • SeanKeyes Sean (@SeanKeyes) reported from Manchester, England

    Same old @virginhelp @virginmedia more important for them to send a driver to personally collect an old Virgin Hub than send the promised engineer to install the new one and optimise the Wi-Fi signal as had been sold to us. 🤷

  • J_w_D94 LeChonk (@J_w_D94) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I'm tweeting from the device I'm having connectivity and signal issues with, I've looked on the website and it's not stating if you're having network issues or not.

  • AnianaAbrudan @AniAna98722504 (@AnianaAbrudan) reported from Urmston, England

    @Virgin media,every months problems with broadband,so hard to get in touch by phone and always they have work to do during day in the week time. So angry now 😤 😒

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Internet is down in our area since Monday. I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday. None of your call centre staff can help us we've spent hours on hold this week.

  • acailler Adam Cailler (@acailler) reported from Manchester, England

    @JournoBird @virginmedia We've had it cut out twice for a few hours, but that was related to the ridiculous heat and they fixed it quickly. I realise everyone will have different experiences 🤦

  • insidewrite1957 Peter Thornton.🇺🇦 (@insidewrite1957) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    @eshelm @simonnread @virginmedia Worst people I’ve ever worked for By a distance

  • ylilxanoi 🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England

    @Virgin #virginmediadown Virgin media is an absolute bag of ****, pass it on

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported from Oldham, England

    Hey @virginmedia why has the internet from around 11am just gone slow all of a sudden or barely working. OL9 area. I've rebooted the router but still no luck. I'm trying to work from home here.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HardCand Zack (@HardCand) reported

    @virginmedia Just a reminder: this is all due to a bad installation from one of your engineers. Two subsequent engineers came and found the issue but did not fix it. It's all in the forum thread. HELP. ME.

  • BobaFatt Bobby Xennial | DJ BobaFatt (@BobaFatt) reported

    @virginmedia No resolution. Kind of a waste of time tbh. My complaint has now been logged apparently, so it's a case of waiting to see what happens in next few weeks, and whether I will actually get my service activated or whether I've wasted 1/4 of a year / hours on chats / £££ tethering.

  • StaceyCoombes Coombes (@StaceyCoombes) reported

    And I am still waiting on that call @virginmedia 😡 can safely say we will never use their services again as they clearly don’t care about their customers…

  • chirpyfrances Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported from Wakefield, England

    Been through 16 mths of lockdown, 3 working from home & hardly a glitch on the broadband. Last 8wks its gone down for several minutes a day between 10am and 1pm. Only on weekdays & its supposed to be a problem with our hub, really? An engineer could find it @virginmedia #shoddy

  • gillett_adrian Adrian Gillett (@gillett_adrian) reported

    @virginmedia I was told when I moved I could have my package at my new address it fell through my belongings are in a storage facility all I want is help to help my father whilst he's dying I'm paying for a service not receiving and I'm sick of the lies n the runaround

  • HardCand Zack (@HardCand) reported

    @virginmedia Also stop thinking Im an idiot, that's an automated line that gives the same useless advice for someone in my position then redirects me to the same useless articles online.... I need a real person to look at it, understand, and help!!!!!

  • FERGALMCGRATH Fergal McGrath (@FERGALMCGRATH) reported

    @virginmedia Till now I've wanted to avoid wasting time making a complaint. Now that I need to, I find there's no way to email Virgin. Can someone supply me with a complaints email address? #virgincomplaints #virginmedia #complaints

  • StaceyCoombes Coombes (@StaceyCoombes) reported

    @virginmedia And I am now on the phone for the 5th time to one of your shocking customer service advisors who clearly do not care about my complaint or are even listening to my experience because all they demanding is money. DISGUSTING. should have stayed with Sky.

  • StaceyCoombes Coombes (@StaceyCoombes) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I know there is a cancellation fee, which I was more then happy to pay when your customer service advisor told me this was one months bill. But then to discover the next time I call that you are actually charging me close to 10x more then this is disgusting.

  • HardCand Zack (@HardCand) reported

    @virginmedia How about your fix your services ? I filed complaints several times, I filed issues, it goes to deaf ears. Help me or I will have to get legal help because I pay for this package but it's not working and I get no help
