  • LiisaJane LiisaJane'x (@LiisaJane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia @nickgooner80 I wanna know why my broadband has been all day! I do not want to be paying for a service I cannot use!!!!!! 🤬🤬 I have a bored 6 year old. SORT IT OUT!!! And I can’t check my service status as I can’t access the internet even on my 4G or the virgin media app.

  • M_Morgan94 Mark Morgan (@M_Morgan94) reported from Rochester, England

    Virgin Media estimated fix being 10am tomorrow, well looks like no TV for me 🤡

  • MarkPashby Mark Pashby (@MarkPashby) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia i get it. Captalist country and therefore a fallacy to beleive we dont need you. You social media support responders are in jobs etc But really, VM broadband is a joke. Bring back telewest and the more personal service of old. #virginmediadown again

  • tmacbond Tmak (@tmacbond) reported from Wickford, England

    @1KolaAdebisi Endless calls eating into family time & still no end in sight just being fobbed off @virginmedia this is awful services @Ofcom please help

  • _SamButler Sam (@_SamButler) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia don’t want to sound like a Karen but your internet has been ******* appalling this week, down yet again what a joke

  • thebooooooth Mark Booth (@thebooooooth) reported from Basildon, England

    Problems with @virginmedia continue. Now the wifi is down and no streaming tonight! #shouldnothaveleftsky #FirstWorldProblems

  • ChrisyL1 Chris L (@ChrisyL1) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Ty for getting back to me, look we have been together for too long to just throw it all away bc of one incident so I will take a look once I’m home from work ... I miss you lots x

  • yiddo71 Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia has the shittest broadband and customer service in the world!!!

  • l_stallworthy Laura S 🦢🦄 (@l_stallworthy) reported from Gillingham, England

    Virgin Media are terrible 🤣 if it’s not the WiFi playing up, it’s the TV lol

  • tmacbond Tmak (@tmacbond) reported from Wickford, England

    @1KolaAdebisi @virginmedia @Ofcom @Ofcom Your intervention is really needed here because @virginmedia has really failed in their dispensing of service #ShabbyServices

  • paulparker81 Paul Parker (@paulparker81) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia experiencing the worst customer service I have ever had. Been a customer for 10+ years but not after today @SkyUK will be gaining another customer instead

  • thebooooooth Mark Booth (@thebooooooth) reported from Basildon, England

    So @virginmedia lie to you and then don't respond to you or follow up your phone request to make a complaint. Why did i ever leave Sky! The service has been shocking, wouldn't recommend Virgin to anyone

  • MarkPashby Mark Pashby (@MarkPashby) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia still no connectivity at all for me in SS0. Running a successful ISP should also surely include upda ting customers when issues arrise. Internet connectivity in this day and age is a utility, not a nice to have. #virginmediadown

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • hatter the hatter (@hatter) reported

    @Juggzy @virginmedia They can hopefully help you fix local WiFi issues as per their guarantee, but they first need to know if it's a line issue or if it's a local issue

  • leanners76 Leanne Lawlor (@leanners76) reported

    @virginmedia It’s back it’s morning but how much data have I used yesterday? And my assignment is late. The 4G was too slow to do anything either

  • ace_luke luke (@ace_luke) reported

    @virginmedia Maybe, instead, your company could provide a reliable service. Nothing personal towards you KF, just entirely fed up of this happening.

  • SamShaw94 SamShaw94 (@SamShaw94) reported

    So there was an issue yesterday. Then it was apperently fixed last night despite none of the service returning and then this morning were back to, there's an issue in your area. Be honest @virginmedia, is your service status just updated by throwing darts at a board?

  • kirank101 Kiran (@kirank101) reported

    @virginmedia is the broadband down?

  • AkshatG38281397 Akshat Garg (@AkshatG38281397) reported

    @virginmedia What about the compensation for 2 months of no service

  • GemHopkins Gemma Hopkins (@GemHopkins) reported

    @virginmedia 3 days of being fobbed off by your call centre. First my 5G was turned off, then there is a local issue (that your status tracker has never been aware of) No useful WiFi since Saturday. Simply poor customer service

  • Mya_bandita Mya (@Mya_bandita) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. Your team said it was going to take until the 27th to fix. Which is unbelievable as we’re paying for your service

  • trakingtest san@trakingtest (@trakingtest) reported

    @virginmedia there is no Wi-Fi service in solihull area?

  • truth197 Paul O'Regan (@truth197) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, thanks. I can’t log in, but maybe you can tell me if there are any service issues in the EH6 postcode area? (Although as it only affects one channel I’m pretty sure that’s not the problem anyway.)
