    @virginmedia Media Services. We were offered a deal back in July which was all sports, movies and kids channels for around £111. Since then we have had our wifi and box and each time I call about one of these issues you clear the deal from our account. This month billing us £215!!!

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • shintomac Steven Hodges (@shintomac) reported

    Have implemented a suggested temporary fix, but it is useless as the phone will not ring. Call back from @virginmedia is overdue by one hour. I hope they’ve not been trying to ring me on the number which, thanks to them, does not now ring

  • KezzaPick91 Kesiah (@KezzaPick91) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve tried they said they can’t help me as it’s a never account. I was on hold for 30 minutes with a buzzy tone then it just cut off!

  • Xkatiepx ...Katie B… (@Xkatiepx) reported

    @virginmedia can you help our wifi isn’t working at home but my husband working away and account is in his name.

  • LizTray Liz Tray (@LizTray) reported

    @virginmedia By claiming it's a local fault as a result of intermittent loss, it puts the onus on the customer to eventually get so pissed off and worn down that we call. At which point we found out it was NOT a local area fault but an issue with the hub. If I had not been driven mad, how...

  • lynseymiddleton Lynsey Middleton (@lynseymiddleton) reported

    @virginmedia I’m looking for help pls. Work in my postcode finished at 3pm. 3.15pm my broadbrand went down and hasn’t worked since. Trying to fix the problem online and it’s now saying the issue is with my hub set up? -

  • jimmysteamboat jimmy (@jimmysteamboat) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Can you confirm if service is down in the M4 Manchester postcode? Us and Neighbours wifi not working when we are WFH!

  • Mrfaal Mr Faal ⭐️⭐️ (@Mrfaal) reported

    @virginmedia i’m having real problems with my internet, its either really slow or drops out altogether. I have done all your online tests and it keeps telling me its fine😡 Not really what I’m paying for! Please help!!? #internetdown

  • MarkMcCusker19 Mark McCusker (@MarkMcCusker19) reported

    @virginmedia Raised a complaint, which just gave me the same number. Called twice now with no resolution. Thinking of cancelling if this is the level of support customers receive!

  • c62234178 Carmen C (@c62234178) reported

    @virginmedia We are having problems with other parts of the system, changing it is not feasible. And this wouldn't have been a problem if our internet hasn't been down for OVER A WEEK. A realistic fix time would be appreciated rather than false hopes.

  • LizTray Liz Tray (@LizTray) reported

    @virginmedia My flatmates and I, like idiots, believed that screenshot. We spent two months sending it to each other going 'well, it must be that'. When it was the hub all along. It's completely appalling. And the complaints dept need to fix it, not tell me to call tech support.
