  • AhsatanRevolg Natasha (@AhsatanRevolg) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I had no Virgin Media services in Feb. Nor in Easter. Neither do I have them today. Technicians don’t turn up when booked. Today I am using my mobile network 4G to look for a reliable internet service because yours is letting me down too often. Thank you, next.

  • engineer59a Richard S (@engineer59a) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia 3 days of warm weather and your network goes to pot!😔😡 3 rd day in a row no internet intermittently

  • LawroGardiner Lawrence Gardiner ➡️ (@LawroGardiner) reported from Basildon, England

    @Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

  • Bunglebob66 Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia We felt we were banging our heads against a brick wall. No we wasted our Sunday speaking to your “Helpdesk” and will not being using our home phone again. My wife’s mum who has #dementia will now, be given my wife’s mobile number written down to use instead!

  • Bunglebob66 Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    Just been scammed on our home phone bill for 0905481000. We have been charged £54 for a 40 minute call that we apparently made. @virginmedia have said they will investigate it for a charge of £99.95! (No thanks!)🤯🤬. We never made the call, ONLY received & pressed NO numbers!

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia has gone down, no internet and only a few obscure tv channels.... that I’m watching, so I can keep watching telly 😳

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia I’ve going through this process since 20th March! I’m unable to talk on the phone easily due to a brain injury. I’m still waiting for a response from the resolution team!!

  • WUFC2005 Football 4 All (@WUFC2005) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why oh why do you keep sending me paper bills AND charging me for them, I have never asked for a paper bill and have phone to cancel them twice 😡🤬 and this morning what do I get 😡😡😡

  • LAURABELLE72 Laura Elliott (@LAURABELLE72) reported from Thundersley, England

    Have some sense @virginmedia if your mobile phone systems are having issues why wait until the caller has been on hold for over 15 minutes to play the recorded message that says there's nothing you can do about it #********* #CustomerService

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    Hey @virginmedia you better offer me a better deal tomorrow or else I will be leaving. New customers are always treated better than existing. I know from experience with you guys that this never changes.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia 2nd complaint made via your website as still no contact from the resolution team!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia No advice, no contact = appalling service. This is the problem!

  • DebzGlover Debz Glover😜 (@DebzGlover) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no service issues in my area according to your website

  • Bunglebob66 Robert Bailey (@Bunglebob66) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia But we HAVE NOT MADE the call and because of the “cleverness” of these people, we are not willing to gamble with the investigation. It’s our word against yours! Your “Geeks” could say anything and we’re screwed! We will see out our contract and then CANCEL!!!!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Faulty equipment, price rise and awful customer service.

  • drongo123uk Chris Tring (@drongo123uk) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia @therealpaulbond Seems like its a lot of people with problems, 103, 113 not working but 853 is.

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    @Shadow_Official @virginmedia This issue I found happened more on wifi, I had to put in a secondary switch and run everything via Ethernet.

  • nickihendrix4 nickihendrix (@nickihendrix4) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia what the actual **** is wrong with you people if it was phone bill you guys would have deducted all long time ago but y’all don’t want me to make calls and y’all decided not to warn us either. I swear to God I’m not paying my bill this month periodt

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LietoFineLondon Lieto Fine (@LietoFineLondon) reported

    .@virginmedia is simply the worst company in the world. I’ve been fighting with them since May to change my tariff. I’ve evidence that they agreed to do it and they’re still charging me the same amount. And then accusing me of not being able to afford it. Quite frankly. *****.

  • stewhiteLFC Ste White 🧲 (@stewhiteLFC) reported

    Is @virginmedia down again?? Feels like it's the same thing that happened last heatwave Last time: No broadband all night Virgin media website crashed Call to customer services dropped after being on hold for half an hour Told there was no issue in my area by automated message 🤬

  • MO_BRFC Mark Onwood (@MO_BRFC) reported

    @virginmedia No. How is it acceptable to interrupt our broadband for 24 hours when this is just an upgrade?

  • shaun1968 shaun harley (@shaun1968) reported

    @virginmedia @LG__88 I'm having this issue as well. Can someone explain what's going on. Netflix are saying it's a problem at Virgin end

  • bantarzycki Ant Barzycki (@bantarzycki) reported

    @virginmedia That it’s intermittent issues and to give you 24 hours to look into it. It’s now been 2160+ hours - which in my opinion is pretty awful work performance, to put it lightly, As inept as Boris Johnson at public speaking. When we cb we get an apology msg

  • HannahandManda Hannah 🏳️‍🌈 (@HannahandManda) reported

    @virginmedia Yep, we’ve been doing that on and off. No faults, and no service issues in the area.

  • Neophyt_e I watched c-beams glitter, near Tannhäuser Gate. (@Neophyt_e) reported

    @DawnSunrise1 @virginmedia That's why I left them. I was a dedicated customer since the Diamond Cable days - it counted for nothing! Just never ending price increases & no loyalty benefits.

  • MO_BRFC Mark Onwood (@MO_BRFC) reported

    @virginmedia 3 hours waiting for our new Hub to connect for our broadband upgrade, two phone calls, still no white light. Just cut off from second phone call. Any chance of some help?

  • IanJ21289455 Ian J (@IanJ21289455) reported

    @virginmedia Phone call, I don't have tech to support anything else.

  • GHMC25 Gary McIntyre (@GHMC25) reported

    @virginmedia sort your service out! I’m paying over £70 / month and I still can’t have a 121 voice meeting. Perhaps we’ll go with GRAIN.
