Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Eks24 Dr Emma-Kate Yates (@Eks24) reported

    @virginmedia I have been put on a 30 cancellation but still receiving alerts to pay my account - I am not going to pay £120 for services I rang up to cancel in Jan and have not used since. i have logged a compliant to try and get the debt removed but I am concerned about my credit rating

  • GBateson23 Gavin Bateson (@GBateson23) reported

    @virginmedia That doesn't give any offers as maxed out. Doesn't give you the option to downgrade on the website. The advisor has offered me the same with a £20 discount but keep old kit, router terrible BTW. No loyalty to existing customers, no incentive to retain custom.

  • AmyMarieWalsh Amy Walsh (@AmyMarieWalsh) reported

    @virginmedia how do I speak to a human at VM? I phone and it just says there's an outage in my area and hangs up. These outages are affecting the whole Street and it's EVERY SINGLE DAY. We need planning and construction to come and fix asap or there will be group action.

  • TheScouseMouse Aidan (@TheScouseMouse) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, it says no known issues after running a test, but the woman I spoke to said people in my area were having problems, this was a few hours ago though and nothing has changed yet

  • kimbokoo1 kimberley mitchell (@kimbokoo1) reported

    @virginmedia Brilliant customer service!! Your a media company and yet I’ve done both things you have suggested and nothing no response and no person,

  • jgoodliffe_ James Goodliffe (@jgoodliffe_) reported

    @barrettg93 @virginmedia I will be at this rate, they continue to impress me at how awful they are

  • kimbokoo1 kimberley mitchell (@kimbokoo1) reported

    @virginmedia And what about your brilliant text service you offer that just sends the same automated responses for 3 hours why offer a service of you can’t provide it

  • robbydesigns RobbyDesigns (@robbydesigns) reported

    @virginmedia @BWFC1982 Can i text that number about my problem?

  • MissingMarshall Richard (@MissingMarshall) reported

    @virginmedia I've called twice to cancel, you ask me security questions then transfer me to whoever can actually cancel, then it goes silent you cut me off both times. @virginhelp

  • markbishopuk MB (@markbishopuk) reported

    @virginmedia Even when the customer negotiated a fixed price deal and the call centre operative tells them the price is locked in for 18 months?
