  • chrisblewitt85 Chris Blewitt (@chrisblewitt85) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia been on hold for 50 minutes waiting to renew to a lesser deal than a new customer can get, online, with the click of a button! Think your customer service needs some Oomph!

  • Spock_Thornaby Spock Thornaby🖖 (@Spock_Thornaby) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @JustJanety @virginmedia They have been simply rude and unpleasant. We have been good loyal customers since NTL. We are off now. Disgusted,

  • nickeyley Eee-lee (@nickeyley) reported from Billingham, England

    @virginmedia Are you effing kidding me - you're doing it again. Internet has dropped for the second time this month. I wonder what you'd do if I didn't provide payment like you fail to provide service.

  • MickDude MickDude (IndiePenDude) (@MickDude) reported from Redcar, England

    So my @virginmedia V6 box is sat with an orange light on and no apps work My broadband has gone off about 15 times in the last 2 weeks but the Service Status and online equipment check says everything is fine!!!! AGAIN!! #Rubbish

  • AmyIrving Amy Irving (@AmyIrving) reported from Egglescliffe, England

    Loving the customer service @virginmedia today- no fuss or hassle and the man I spoke to saved me money off my monthly bills thank you!

  • Spock_Thornaby Spock Thornaby🖖 (@Spock_Thornaby) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @JustJanety @virginmedia I’m gong to cancel them st home and with family for the rubbish attitude.

  • HasteukS Sara (@HasteukS) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Agent has disconnected with no notice, appalling service

  • wicks_michael Michael Wicks (@wicks_michael) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia I got through Ok! Problem is how long it takes to undertake what seems to be a very simple and straightforward task like removing a TIVO box from your package. You are also way too expensive will be looking at other options shortly 🤔

  • tim_robson_1980 uosqoᴚ ɯı⊥ (@tim_robson_1980) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Absolute joke! After telling them it's not a virgin mobile they said that chat was for faults only and to ring the same premium rate number to speak to someone. Your customer service really is laughable

  • MickDude MickDude (IndiePenDude) (@MickDude) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia broadband down again!!!

  • ha66ie Paul Haggie (@ha66ie) reported from Yarm, England

    @virginmedia you really need more staff. I cannot get through to your retention team. I have wasted hours over different days. God awful waiting times. No updates whatsoever.

  • Poddddddd Jamie Gilbey (@Poddddddd) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia It’s not internet related. If it was the all my other devices would have an issue. Tried on numerous occasions to reset the router but it hasn’t fixed the problem. It’s going to need an engineer.

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia It was WiFi only, service status wasn't showing any issue, as mentioned, it has appeared to of resolved itself now.

  • davedome Dave (@davedome) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 on hold for 30mins to be hung up on when connected. Not a great way to treat your new customers. Regretting opting for your services so far.

  • wicks_michael Michael Wicks (@wicks_michael) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Yeh had to call customer support not amused no TV, Phone or Broadband in our area. Engineer on route 😡

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    Great so it seems to be a day of running on data today as @virginmedia apparently have "broadband issues" AGAIN 🙄

  • JoBooth10 Jo Booth (@JoBooth10) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @markeltringham @JimGardnerSNCLP @virginmedia @SteveDustyD He knows he's shit 😂

  • alcampion alan (@alcampion) reported from Stillington, England

    @virginmedia it’s slightly better now but these issues keep a curing now and then but nothing gets done about it I rang about a month ago with same problem so you’re team said they will give a reduction in my bill the following month but that never happened so I’m done with you.

  • HasteukS Sara (@HasteukS) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @slimbob12 @virginmedia i know how you feel! I’ve been waiting for over hour and a half!!Appalling service!

  • tim_robson_1980 uosqoᴚ ɯı⊥ (@tim_robson_1980) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia disgusting customer service. On hold for 20 minutes for someone to answer and say they need to transfer me..on hold for a further 28 minutes for someone to answer, ask my name and hang up! Rang back for an automated service to say you're too busy to talk to me 😡

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • IlovenottsMark mark paul (@IlovenottsMark) reported

    @virginmedia NG7 6NW Has been having daily outages for the last 3 weeks sometimes over several hours. Saturday page say will be fixed by 3pm and usually it is. What is going on every day? I've called 150 but only get scripted reply that there is an outage and it's being worked on

  • m333ekl Scott M3ikle (@m333ekl) reported

    @virginmedia is the website down? I cant get on it to check available upgrades

  • jamie_mcnab Jamie mcnab (@jamie_mcnab) reported

    @virginmedia my eSIM hasn’t activated and any time I call I’ve been told they can’t access my account due to systems being down. Any idea when it will be back up?

  • simonhowland Simon Howland (@simonhowland) reported

    @iamdanrice It depends 🙃 There’s a reason there are sometimes no price tags in high end designer clothes shops. Virgin media tries to make you login to hide new customer deals from existing customers. B2B SaaS - removing pricing can increase sales enquiries - to a strong sales team.

  • Katomonkey Kate Bowskill (@Katomonkey) reported

    @virginmedia is there any reason why after I’ve cancelled in my cooling off period due to poor internet that I have received three bills totalling over £140?

  • kimturner70 Kimberley Turner (@kimturner70) reported

    @virginmedia been fixing broadband issues since yesterday. Should have sent tribunal paperwork by 12 today, oh well, it’s just going to have to be late 🙄

  • donnajeff Donna Jefferies (@donnajeff) reported

    @virginmedia It must be a serious issue it's been off now for nearly 2 hours!!!

  • AnneMarieFagan2 Anne Marie Fagan (@AnneMarieFagan2) reported

    @virginmedia I am trying to cancel an account for someone who has recently passed away but I have been left holding for a ridiculous amount of time each time I call and I still haven't managed to speak to anyone. Please can you let me know how I can inform you of this.

  • GregBarnes2 (((Greg Barnes))) (@GregBarnes2) reported

    @virginmedia I’m not back there for two months. Might as well cancel the direct debit as you’re in breach of contract and not serious/inclined to do anything about this. You’ve still not told me why this happened last time despite there being an “extensive investigation”?

  • GregBarnes2 (((Greg Barnes))) (@GregBarnes2) reported

    @virginmedia On my landline, I’m currently not at home. How hard is it to provide? a) The service I’m paying £120 a month for b) An email address. c) A solution to a recurring problem. You’re in breach of contract. It shouldn’t be ME doing the running around.
