  • lynneglenn13 Lynne Webster (@lynneglenn13) reported from South Shore, England

    @virginmedia I suggest this call is listened to as if this is the Calibre of customer service agents then Richard Branson really needs to know. I will not let this drop 😡😡

  • lynneglenn13 Lynne Webster (@lynneglenn13) reported from South Shore, England

    1. Fuming @virginmedia . Disgusting customer service today when my husband called to report a fault. Our disabled son has no access to his virgin box for watching Netflix. Asked for an engineer. “We don’t do that you will have to pay”.

  • ResidentStevil7 𝕾𝖙𝖊 (@ResidentStevil7) reported from Hindley, England

    @virginmedia keep ringing me on a daily basis! Sometimes I can’t answer and they leave a long, silent voicemail! When I do answer, they put the phone down on me! I know it’s Virgin because if I try to ring back I get a recorded msg saying they’ll try again soon!

  • lynneglenn13 Lynne Webster (@lynneglenn13) reported from South Shore, England

    2.agent spoke over my husband constantly. 3.He refused to get a supervisor. 4.Agent stated” I don’t mind loosing my job over this call so I suggest you complain to Richard Branson “!! 5. Agent rude, condescending and arrogant @virginmedia

  • lynneglenn13 Lynne Webster (@lynneglenn13) reported from South Shore, England

    Filled in customer complaint form and advised at 3:00pm we would get a call-back. It’s now 21:00 and still waiting. Never ever experienced such appalling customer service. If you are interested @virginmedia we have agents name.

  • MrVestibule DV (@MrVestibule) reported from Preston, England

    Hey @virginmedia my internet speed has dropped massively over Christmas and is still poor. I get that people are probably using more bandwidth but this is unacceptable - I’m paying for 200mb & getting 10. I’ve done all the tests and resets with no joy 😤. #virginmedia #broadband

  • basher5000 (@basher5000) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia Hi the app says service is fine but when using text message constantly says not delivered but I only realise when I go back in later ... I think it’s poor signal in my home because I go outside it works ....

  • basher5000 (@basher5000) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia sat here with at home with no mobile service but when I use the app it says I’m getting 3G & 4G 👌🏻

  • Sammi__T Sammi T (@Sammi__T) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia how can I report a landline fault, tried 150 (not working) tried the contact us message link YOU advertise (not working) community forum (no response) over 48 hours with a fault that cant be reported - one way to make your stats look good #donotacceptresponsibility

  • McGovernDanDan Danielle Hickey (@McGovernDanDan) reported from Penwortham, England

    @virginmedia The worker who was in charge told me the complaint would go to him so basically it was a waste of time. I have complained but I’m not confident in your processes 😡

  • TinaLawrenson Tina Lawrenson (@TinaLawrenson) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia Have done each time wasting an hour of my time with no resolving .. not meaning to be harsh but not used to poor service wasted six hours already when you add up wasted hours

  • cadeharry Nightsky Ceilings (@cadeharry) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia Yes problem in the pr7 area all bloody day.

  • Lisa_P117 Lisa Patel (@Lisa_P117) reported from Horwich, England

    @virginmedia starting to get sick of the rubbish service... first off my internet and now for the last week my TV doesn’t connect!

  • annbenedict9 annbenedict (@annbenedict9) reported from Brinscall, England

    @virginmedia surgery phone line keeps cutting out on patients- national issue I am told

  • TinaLawrenson Tina Lawrenson (@TinaLawrenson) reported from Chorley, England

    @virginmedia 6/12 later we still haven’t despite phone calls and false assurances we still have not got number back contacted vm whom basically said it’s my problem and here’s the number to call no help .... it’s beyond disappointing

  • danashurst Dan Ashurst (@danashurst) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Whoops. Maybe I should have clarified...My connection is fine, it's your packages that need to change to give more upload capacity to customers. P.s you guys deliver a solid service to me, and have done for years.

  • mands4walkies Mandy 🐩🐾🐕🐾🐶🐾🦅 (@mands4walkies) reported from Southport, England

    @virginmedia Please note @Ofcom that @virginmedia has been down across south west London for 48 hours due to a 3rd party digging up a cable. Virgin Media’s network resilience; disaster recovery; and customer comm’s are inadequate.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • themrsdmg Mrs McG (@themrsdmg) reported

    @virginmedia It keeps pixilating, over several different channels. HDMI cable was replaced on the last engineer visit, and he retuned something to fix it but it has started to happen again, over various channels.

  • Punkygirl1968 Julie (@Punkygirl1968) reported

    @virginmedia An area fault I think. But she keeps being told its fixed and the landline still isnt working. 3 technicians have turned up and said it will be working and it isnt. If she has a fall she cannot use her Careline service

  • TTQTKK7 Twofooted (@TTQTKK7) reported

    @virginmedia is it just coincidence that since you started charging more the service has gotten worse. Been using your website and gone through the call centre twice now and we have intermittent connectivity at best for last few weeks.

  • Johnny_Utah2000 JohnnyUtah (@Johnny_Utah2000) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I've called the automated service line and it didn't mention any area issues. The virgin media page ran a test on my hub, recommended I turn it off and check the cable connections, and then when it wasn't resolved, book an appointment with an engineer. Which I have.

  • del_forde Del Forde (@del_forde) reported

    @virginmedia No, I’ve raised a complaint. The team as you call them just love to constantly lie about the the date or cut the call off. The service I’ve received from Virgin has been a complete joke. How can it take over 3 months for installation

  • themrsdmg Mrs McG (@themrsdmg) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply. Of course, but to not even have an update after over an hour of waiting is rather poor. Tried again this morning, another hour of waiting to get connected, only for it to freeze as soon as it does! So frustrating!!!

  • calder82 Mark (@calder82) reported

    @virginmedia Why do others get a link to a chat to discuss and resolve? No new complaint was opened until was confirmed the other was ‘missing’. The new complaint got closed immediately.

  • graham_beeke Graham Beeke (@graham_beeke) reported

    @virginmedia That was the price after talking to them, even broadband alone couldn’t match price of a bundle of a new customer. Such a bad practice now leaving me with a bad experience of Virgin after all these years. Crazy thing is I can come back in 60 days as a new customer 🤯

  • Dilenk_Eren DilekEren (@Dilenk_Eren) reported

    @virginmedia It covers 8th March-6th April. Also, really confusing things happens. The direct debit payment for £69 was declined by my bank, barclays. Now I don’t have boardband connection because of payment issue. Additionally, I received an email from your resolvement team…

  • Connornet Connor (@Connornet) reported

    I’ve hated every moment being on @virginmedia for the past month or two. I called the cancellation team and she claimed she had issues with her system so will call back in 30 min. As she went to hang up she changed that to an hour. I’m now over an hour and no call. Let me go!
