  • MaryAkram3 M A R Y (@MaryAkram3) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Shittest internet going problems after problems we’ve had for a week and we pay a fortune!!

  • shuttsi77 Richard Shuttleworth (@shuttsi77) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia why won’t my Apple devices work properly on your personal WiFi? What is the solution or should I start charging my phone data bills to you. Your boss heads to space, brilliant but his customers can’t get consistent WiFi in the 21st century. Please help.

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    So many problems @virginmedia this year, poor system, poor WiFI, poor connections, poor customer service, all seem to be continually getting worse as does the response to complaints. Anyone else putting up with this poor quality? @skytv looking a clear future prospect

  • JoshTheG4ymer Josh The G4ymer 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧 (@JoshTheG4ymer) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Yes, all we get is a known outage, but been like this for 6/7 hours now. No word or updates have been given.

  • NiallDouglass Niall Douglass (@NiallDouglass) reported from Manchester, England

    Keep getting some threatening emails from #virginmedia about the return of media kit. Still waiting for them to pick up as a previously agreed confirmation date was made via their site. Worst customer service ever #virgin #virginmedia

  • neyo Steve Day (@neyo) reported from Manchester, England

    @Netflixhelps I haven’t but I’ve streamed it via Virgin Media and EE’s mobile network, so it feels it’s not likely to be that? Can you or someone on the team try streaming it on iOS and letting me know if it works?

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Told yesterday that it is a local problem due to be resolved by 12th August, however that seems to be a standard reply which is now becoming tiresome. We have to wonder if @virginmedia have fallen back in the hi tech department & that we should move on to a more reliable provider

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia also since my contract inception May I’ve had no 5G or 4G just 3G which is extremely slow when processing fast is needed. Extremely poor & I’m a long standing loyal customer of Virgin Media for over 20 years when it was called Cable Wireless (NTL)😡

  • AlexxTheTiger Alexx 🏳️‍🌈 (@AlexxTheTiger) reported from Stockport, England

    I never been so mistreated by @virginmedia like I was today, the staff on the live chat literally "hang up" on me mid support... absolutely gutted, saved all the conversation and I will seek citizens advice over this, that is no way of treating a 6+ years costumer

  • shuttsi77 Richard Shuttleworth (@shuttsi77) reported from Wilmslow, England

    @virginmedia Just Apple, they struggle to connect and buffer whereas non Apple laptops are fine, for example. Either that or it’s our WiFi? Please help?

  • shackmcfc ShackMcfc (@shackmcfc) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia how do I report cabinet damage that needs urgent attention? Tried the number but option 2 to speak to someone just rings out

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia so much for Virgin Media to ring me yesterday Friday 6th Aug over three complaints. Phone call from Customer Services never came to fruition .. Not a happy chappie 😳😡

  • twiddlemeister Dave (@twiddlemeister) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @dj_damien @virginmedia I once had an advisor tell me that my services (that were going down for an hour or so once a day, every day for a week) must have had no issues because I was downloading tens of GB a day. Can’t wait for BT to put their gigabit lines in round here. Will switch in a heartbeat.

  • IanCardy2 Ian Cardy (@IanCardy2) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    Unsolicited sales call from @virginmedia offering me an upgrade but pay more! Why would I pay more when the services you already provide are slow & outdated with zero customer service. Prove it works & then maybe 🤔 but £99 a month is already too much!

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia told by them today that problems with “catch up” service not something that was paid for so in effect had to put up with the poor performance, in the end offered a tenner! Perhaps there is a better solution, ie get rid of them & get someone who cares 🖕

  • mrcritchy Neil Critch (@mrcritchy) reported from Chapel-en-le-Frith, England

    @ollyknights @virginmedia If you need any further help Olly DM me NP at all. I only hope they haven’t been calling Long Distance

  • levylass Moira McLoughlin 💙 (@levylass) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia seriously getting fed up with your service why do I have to sit on top of a box connected to TV to get any internet when working at home & office on 2nd floor ?? Rung 3 times same old guff pull the plug out 🤬🤬

  • DaveGarside Dave Garside❤️🇾🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️⛳️🎸 (@DaveGarside) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Yes there are and there were all 3 times. Currently 4.00pm estimated to be fixed but that’s my Saturday pretty much gone without any service

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been with Virgin Media now for well over twenty years but I’m not happy with customer services whatsoever especially having the phone put down on me on two occasions ! 😡

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia I can never get to speak to someone who fully understands me because all your call centres are now sourced overseas.I need a Manager to ring me ASAP please. Not happy whatsoever how I’ve been treated it’s not acceptable to be treated with ill manners 😡

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LizTray Liz Tray (@LizTray) reported

    @virginmedia Why didn't you just check further and see that the issue was fixed? You know I'm in N8. You could check your own page on my behalf and then you'd know. Honestly, Virgin have the most useless social channel known on earth.

  • RPGHopper William Leitch (@RPGHopper) reported

    @virginmedia On average we have between 13 and 17 devices connected. The teams solution was simply to cut down on what we’re using. Or pay for a higher line. Most devices are smart devices (Echo dots) or phones.

  • benrobart 「Ben Ⓥ」 (@benrobart) reported

    @virginmedia Like I said, I'm not paying in arrears, so it's on you to stop the service once I stop paying. Virgin have breached the contract by not offering anywhere near the promised service, so it's a free get-out clause for me! I'll be back tomorrow to report yet more shoddy service👍

  • IamNotTevez That ObsoleteMule (@IamNotTevez) reported

    @virginmedia It says the service is ok, we are restarting the hub every few hours (the hub 3 is absolute garbage), if you check I'm complaining about the hub 3 every other month. We are also paying for virgin boosters that do nothing

  • benmevans Ben Evans (@benmevans) reported

    @virginmedia I'm not on Virgin Mobile so can't dial 150. When I dial 0345 454 1111, option two is Virgin Mobile. That can't be right? I've gone through the necessary steps by phoning customer services and it's lead back to where I was at the start of this conversation.

  • JeremyMilnes Jeremy Milnes (@JeremyMilnes) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks but I really don’t want to waste any more time. I appreciate your speedy replies. Pity your customer service team aren’t as polite or as quick to respond.

  • BD4___ Jennifer Dean 🦇 (@BD4___) reported

    @virginmedia If i go online and register as a new customer i can put it in my name. What more complications can there be? Im not responsible for payment of the bill and you wont let me be so if i stop paying there isnt much you can do about it.

  • G6nnc Glenn Cooper (@G6nnc) reported

    @virginmedia when are you going to sort out the hub 4 issues? I need the WiFi pods, and not in stock, and the Virgin Connect app won't work with hub 4. Useless.

  • Johncouk John (@Johncouk) reported

    @virginmedia how come I see an advert offering new customers the same broadband I am on for a lot less and also including £75 voucher?!? Is that a bad joke or just the usual slap in the face for existing loyal customers?

  • StevenMcMahon78 Steven McMahon (@StevenMcMahon78) reported

    @virginmedia what is the best number to discuss the fibre broadband you supply to my property as it really is not up to the standard I expect or pay for when attempting to work from home. Since the beginning of this year the service has unfortunately been "terrible"!!!
