    New tactics from Virgin Media, ring up to cancel, they say they can't find your account and then put the phone down. 🖕🖕

  • amarapickerill Amara Pickerill (@amarapickerill) reported from Walton upon Trent, England

    @virginmedia please tell me how to contact your complaints department as I have an ongoing issue with your mobile department that’s been raised over the last 12 months and no one can help me! #poorcustomerservice #virginmobile #complaint #help

  • WieMenHo Wie-Men Ho (@WieMenHo) reported from Lichfield, England

    Not surprised re @virginmedia especially on the TV side - my issues remain unresolved following my attempts to reduce my tv package without being given the assurances or certainty of what channels would actually be removed and what would remain!

  • Mark_Northall Mark Northall (@Mark_Northall) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @virginmedia I finally had a response now waiting for a techie to get back to me - I still don’t think I should gave to pay for a service I’m not receiving (High speed internet)

  • james_watts James Watts (@james_watts) reported from Sandiacre, England

    @virginmedia The is letting me know. Downloads are very slow a video that would normally take 3 mins is now 40.

  • harrietmayx harrietparkdavies (@harrietmayx) reported from Lichfield, England

    @virginmedia reset my virgin router and now won’t turn back on.. help please

  • neilmjohnson72 Neil Johnson (@neilmjohnson72) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia You need to sort your customer service out, it is absolutely disgraceful. Your technical team are ignorant and hang calls up without situation. You are getting dumped!

  • Watto_Clare Clare Watson-Spence (@Watto_Clare) reported from Coalville, England

    Can anyone help with 20 data dongles for a school I’ve worked closely with. The free WiFi/data would allow these families to access on line learning for lock down. Would be a loan until they return to school! Please try and help! Thank you xx @virginmedia @tescomobile @O2

  • _Chris_Seddon_ Chris Seddon (@_Chris_Seddon_) reported from Melbourne, England

    Looks like someone pulled out the wrong plug at Virgin Media HQ. Even their website is down!

  • WieMenHo Wie-Men Ho (@WieMenHo) reported from Lichfield, England

    @virginmedia Again, why is it so complicated. Designed to frustrate the customer and so they stick with the more expensive package. Your team member could not understand my basic request, which is very concerning. Listen back to the call. Play it to @ofcom they have my consent to listen to it

  • matthewaucote matthew aucote (@matthewaucote) reported from Lichfield, England

    @virginmedia Broadband been down all morning in Lichfiled area any idea of issue or timescale

  • superjayslim jamie ford (@superjayslim) reported from Coalville, England

    @ash_tunstall @virginmedia Sky working fine. Streaming shit loads!

  • caitlinaimeep Caitlin Parker🧜🏼‍♀️🧜🏼‍♀️ (@caitlinaimeep) reported from Lichfield, England

    It’s like @virginmedia are trying to get people to upgrade their broadband during lockdown otherwise they’re gonna give you shit service 🧐🧐🧐

  • stuwin1 Stuart Windle (@stuwin1) reported from Stenson Fields, England

    @virginmedia When I phoned the contact centre they said they knew there was an issue and it would be sorted in 24hrs. A quick google shows this isnt just me its a common trend

  • prinnysinead Sinead Bacon👩🏼‍⚕️ (@prinnysinead) reported from Kegworth, England

    @virginmedia need to sort their shit out, we’ve had shitty on off WiFi for months now 🙄🙄

  • sjbanks47 Simon Banks 🦁 (@sjbanks47) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @virginmedia your online service status says there are no known issues in my area. However when I called just with a broadband issue I was told there is a fault in our area. If your website was up to date I would not have needed to call and queue for 30 mins.

  • jonnyriall Jonathon Riall (@jonnyriall) reported from Shepshed, England

    @virginmedia No issues reported and yet again I can't access any on demand TV tonight.

  • WieMenHo Wie-Men Ho (@WieMenHo) reported from Lichfield, England

    Shocking telephone service @virginmedia - want to reduce my TV package. Don’t want movies or BT sports any more. Can’t tell me what package I would move on to. Whether I lose any other channels or even if I lose HD channels.

  • antbates1991 Anthony Bates (@antbates1991) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    @virginmedia It's for Virgin Media. Everytime I ring up to try and change something no one over the phone can ever find my account and because of this no one can help me. I want to cancel my package because the offer I'm on expires next month and the services are not worth £84.

  • something_phil Philip John 🇪🇺 (@something_phil) reported from Lichfield, England

    There are going to be *weeks* of follow up at @virginmedia about how the hell they allowed their own status page to be tied to their infrastructure. Pretty useless if your status page goes down when you do.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DougGore Douglas Gore (@DougGore) reported

    @piofthings @skytv @virginmedia Urgh, that's a very low resolution on the encoding ladder. With the right codec you can deliver watchable 720p with only 0.5 Mbps

  • olegasmic7 Olegasser7 (@olegasmic7) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service line is shocking! Waiting on hold for over an hour only to be hung up on constantly. Can you arrange for someone to call me ASAP?! Otherwise I'm cancelling

  • DougGore Douglas Gore (@DougGore) reported

    @piofthings @skytv @virginmedia That's just video analytics so they know how well they are performing, it shouldn't impact the service quality. Most likely your connection or the CDN is the issue unless the video player is no good.

  • C_GalvanPaz Carlos E. Galvan Paz (@C_GalvanPaz) reported

    UK: Virgin Media O2 uses recycled aggregate for sustainable network expansion. #telecoms

  • devoursnowbank devourer snowbank (@devoursnowbank) reported

    @virginmedia sorry for long winded answer so this really needs a manager stepping in some how & taking bull by horns & tackling the issues - while I accept that £300 a month is small fry to virgin - its huge to me

  • johnvasili1 VAS (@johnvasili1) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @virginmedia Unbelievably shockingly bad customer support today. 1hr 25 mins on the phone, spoke to 7 agents and no resolution 2 of your agents were excellent the rest were appaling. As a long standing customer I feel I have no option but to change provider. #virginfail

  • Gemmasaul88 Gemma Ayesha (@Gemmasaul88) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t know if it’s their fault but it’s pretty annoying!! We can’t connect to sky at all now!! I’m going to see if the problem is with @skytv now

  • BenMyatt74 Darksider  (@BenMyatt74) reported

    @virginmedia with merger with @O2 any plan for #virginmobile to use O2 networ? Have recently moved and EE network useless but nearest transmitter for O2 and if no plans will have to move contracts

  • ashmsmith91 Ashley Smith (@ashmsmith91) reported

    @MrFreeze2244 @virginmedia Wowwwww. Hell we only have 400/20 and this is slower than ours lmao it seems as slow as my moms 50/5 jeeeesus

  • mrnigellawrence nigellawrence (@mrnigellawrence) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, loss of internet connectivity, now 20 times since 13th May. repeated promises of repair, repeated pus back of dates for repair, 3 promises of manager call back - zero call backs. Trying to work - really hard when internet keeps going down
