Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England@virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Chris Ohanians (@COhanians) reported@virginmedia genuinely shocked and appalled by virgin leaving my 80 year old father in law without broadband for a week. No o2 signal so was uncontactable by family fo such a vulnerable adult. We live a couple of miles from him and we had intermittent broadband too. I went online
-
Stephanie 🇬🇧 (@stephiejmc) reported@virginmedia Ok thanks just worried cause like see what I pay in front be ne cause can’t access your online service account . Plus just worried going under contract after 10 + years and we all know virgin widely known for fudging up on things .
-
Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported@virginmedia I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!
-
Chib Ma Nib (@chibmanib) reported@virginmedia please sort your Internet services out. Its up and down all day and now I've been without wifi for 2 whole days
-
Stephanie 🇬🇧 (@stephiejmc) reported@virginmedia Hi telling me have see blueyonder account I can’t even rember that account so can’t eve. Sign in
-
Marc (@marcleigh) reported@o2 @virginmedia your new sign in method is ridiculous this is 2026 get proper security not this stupid email link to verify
-

-
Deano (@deanspread) reported@virginmedia Well I’m at work now but it was working then going off for a couple minutes then back on all day. Then about 9pm went off for 20 mins then back on. Went on your page to check the service and it was saying nothing was wrong.
-
George W (@Fraudly_) reported@virginmedia your online service is an absolute joke. You notify me of new monthly fee starting in May and I need to look at other packages if I want to change before new price takes effect. Only for your site to be riddled with errors and your bot to give me a broken link! With that link switching between error message and taking me right back to that same chat! And I shouldn't need to go round in circles chatting about an upgrade, much easier just doing it myself on your site. If it actually worked.

Chib Ma Nib (@chibmanib) reported@virginmedia Gonna have to call cos the service checker doesn't help at all
