    Virgin media - your automated service has a flaw, it just repeats the same message, ‘ no faults found’, when there is a fault, like my internet is giving 2Mb download right now

  • RyanTCB Ryan (@RyanTCB) reported from Basildon, England

    I hate phoning virgin media at weekends and getting the Indian support centre 🤬

  • 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!!!!

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 😡😡😡

  • sudoash Ashley Snowdon (@sudoash) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia My Wi-Fi is fine; the issue is with the public WI-FI using the WIFI Connect app.

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

    @virginmedia WHAT AN AWFUL SERVICE YOU ARE PROVIDING! Internet down over 1 hour, your automated service hangs up when saying it’s going to test my line and when I ring and go to ‘ want to leAve’ that’s a 10 min+ hang on phone Sort yourselves out Virgin Media😡

  • 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.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • rwilliams1947 Richard Williams (@rwilliams1947) reported

    @virginmedia Yep. A few weeks ago you asked to pay a little more money every month in exchange for a faster broadband speed and a few extras (Sky movie channels). Since then it’s been slower and, particularly in the afternoons, infuriatingly intermittent. Got a solution?

  • TeRaFreeZy Shawn (@TeRaFreeZy) reported

    @virginmedia you should be ashamed of yourself. Internet going off every 2-3 minutes slow speeds and horrible customer service. Got the nerve to tell me the fault is on my end and I need to do a better job at describing what’s wrong. No way will you receive anymore of my money.

  • hamanshiron Hamanshiron Publishing is working on their **** (@hamanshiron) reported

    @virginmedia The external work on our property has been done but the cable that connects to the Virgin network hasn't been connected,

  • AmyRebeccaLucy Amy Parkin (@AmyRebeccaLucy) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve not tried texting but I need this issue sorted today. My 2nd order is parked and a back office team is supposed to call me within 48hrs. It’s been 48 hrs and still nothing but every time I call I’m told it’s with this back office team and no one can contact them to escalate

  • AmyRebeccaLucy Amy Parkin (@AmyRebeccaLucy) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve already spent 8 hours on the phone with them. It’s absolutely shocking. Your customer service is the worst I have ever come across! I’ll get back on the phone shortly and waste even more hours of my life with this useless company!

  • Law_MsGracie Gracie Law (@Law_MsGracie) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp What about the giant hole in the ground or the pile of rubble which is what is actually causing the problem, not the vehicle.

  • Isaacabrahamic Isaac Abraham (@Isaacabrahamic) reported

    @virginmedia can you explain why broadband on Kings Road Harrow has been down from 9:00am till time of this tweet? #virginmediadown

  • sparkle1973 catherine (@sparkle1973) reported

    @virginmedia is there an issue with your telephone lines in the plymouth area?

  • ThePigsSqueal Rich Millington (@ThePigsSqueal) reported

    @virginmedia Sadly @virginmedia the service from your pre-install team is absolutely appalling. Our order has been cancelled with absolutely no warning. They’re claiming our wayleave agreement wasn’t returned which it was! No details forthcoming if it was a neighbour who hasn’t returned...

  • hamanshiron Hamanshiron Publishing is working on their **** (@hamanshiron) reported

    @virginmedia The engineer came out to do the outside work for it to be installed, we haven't even had the service installed, he could he know. I don't care how your company does it, but I want the trench dug back up, the cable connected, and it filled in by 1pm on Friday.
