Geoff Watkins (@DronePilotGeoff) reported from Gillingham, England@fasurveyors @virginmedia I have to say; I’m normally pretty pleased with @virginmedia internet. It’s normally fast and reliable. But last couple of days has been awful. It’s getting too expensive as well
-
Lawrence Hooker (@goonerlgh) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia Third Superhub and it's just as unreliable as the previous two. Frequently has to be reset. Slow speeds, unstable wifi. When are you going to replace it with decent hardware?
-
Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee
-
Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England@SpursKS @virginmedia What's the issue

matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia broadband speeds are awful - who should I go with @SkyUK or @BTGroup
-
Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking
-
Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.
-
Scott Wickham (@Scott_Wic) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia My request to support was about the hub5 and some Wi-Fi extenders/boosters which I’m entitled to, they said that it was sorted and would be in the post and now only the hub5 has turned up!!! Does this mean I have to contact support again…….
-
ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, EnglandI'm having real trouble cancelling my Virgin media account. Cant6v chat them, can't email them now on hold for 10 minutes. Just want to end the contract give 30 days notice. New promotion only for new customers. Wtf?
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?
Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
*carly* RN DN (@CarlyBoo78) reported@virginmedia been trying to get through to your customer service line for over 5 hours in the past 2 days!!! Chatbot useless! Can’t get on the app. You have taken an extra £122.00 on top of our usual bill this month and we can’t speak to anyone about it! Poor, poor service!!
-
June Tobin (@junie1954) reported@virginmedia our virgin media account has been locked for over three weeks. We are unable to log in ! We have spent long time on four phone calls. We have been promised calls back and resolution within 3-5working days. We are still waiting. We have been customers for 26 years
-
Nick Riedlinger (@nickried) reported@virginmedia is there a way to renew my service without spending 3 hours on a Web chat and 2 and a half hours on phone calls because the price and content of my product keeps being changed by your various agents?
-
iPaulTweeting (@iPaulTweeting) reported@virginmedia your customer support is appalling. My bill has gone up from £127 to £350. The App it keeps telling me to use either says oops something has gone wrong or directs me to a bot that goes nowhere. Now I’m on the phone for over an hour with no indication as to whether they are going to answer
-
Long Jane Silver (@roosterslily) reported@virginmedia is there a power outage as some of my channels are missing such as Sky Crime, U & Gold? I've been on the ChatBOT for three hours with no reply and no answering the phone
-
Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported@virginmedia Thanks for responding but there is no sense of urgency in that message ‘respond as soon as possible’ & ‘resolve issue as quick as possible’; have you read the T&Cs & your legal obligations?
-
0x00000 (@cryptocyphereth) reported@tvrski @virginmedia Yeah. After disconnecting with their human support, I switched to another browser. This time, their web deal page worked, but the price was 50p higher per month than the one i initially seen. Still, it was significantly better than the offer the human agent gave me, so I just went ahead with the renewal.
-
Philip Loeb (@philloeb) reported@virginmedia your service is nothing short of abysmal. I signed a contract with you over a week ago, the very next day you sent the wrong contract to me. I have now been on the phone for over 2 hours this week trying to sort out your problem. 1 dept doesn’t speak to the other
-
Shaun Weeks (@ShaunWeeks) reported@virginmedia customer service has got to be the worst I’ve experienced in the UK.
-
Dgjbear (@Dgjbear1) reported@virginmedia on hold trying to get through to customer service. Gave up after 90 mins this morning. Currently at 28 mins. I’ll continue to update
