Virgin Media Issues Reports Near Southampton, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Southampton and nearby locations:

  • formula1girl Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia I cancelled in July (which apparently you have no record of) so I contacted you in Sept when you threatened to cut my service off, that I wasn’t using anymore, and told you I’d cancelled. I’m not paying this!! Absolutely ridiculous!!

  • formula1girl Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @sfc_rich @virginmedia You’re absolutely right. Cancelled my account in July yet they’re still billing me claiming they’ve no record of my phone call OR letter. Refuse to cancel my account unless I pay £101.50 which now has gone up to £148.50. #neverlisten #zerocustomerservice

  • formula1girl Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia I “chatted” last week. Your only solution was me paying for a service I cancelled. I “chatted” yesterday to both departments that could apparently help. Neither could unless I paid for a service I cancelled. More chat? Which department this time??

  • formula1girl Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia Your resolution to this is for me to pay you money for a service I don’t use as I cancelled it. How is that a resolution? You are just not listening to me.

  • JFeathjav James Featherstone (@JFeathjav) reported from Southampton, England

    @davenevin @virginmedia Luckily their customer service is excellent 🥴

  • formula1girl Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @sfc_rich @virginmedia They literally don’t care. They are my Dads provider too so I’m going to have the same issues when his house is sold. I’ve never, ever dealt with such sheer incompetence in my life!

  • andy_moo Andy Mooney (@andy_moo) reported from Locks Heath, England

    @virginmedia It was supposed to be yesterday. Phoned customer services yesterday evening but didn't help, phoned again this morning and now finally activated

  • formula1girl Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @virginmedia So I won’t have 4+ months of grief, demands for an account that is cancelled and debt collectors letters for that account then? That’s a relief as your behaviour with my account has worn me down whilst grieving for my Dad but it’s not stopped you….

  • formula1girl Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia more of your appalling customer service!!!! Spend over 90 minutes on your chat help “service” trying to resolve an issue and your agent takes a break. When he returns and I don’t reply as I’m getting lunch I get cut off. And guess what?

  • vetlocksmith Veteran Locksmiths (@vetlocksmith) reported from Fareham, England

    @virginmedia Just to confirm the customer services on the phone said the issue was your end not the router. This shouldn’t take 24hrs to sort for such a large provider

  • reyewon Ryan Stanikk 📸 (@reyewon) reported from Southampton, England

    Was incredibly annoyed at service from @virginmedia today. After sending back the old equipment 6 weeks ago, we received an email saying we were going to be charged for not sending it back. I called up 10 days ago and was told the charge would be removed and not to worry...

  • formula1girl Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @virginmedia So another 90 minute chat with no resolution? That’s fine I’m going to raise an official complaint as this is NOT good customer service at all.

  • formula1girl Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia I have just spoken to collections team who told me they cannot deal with my issue. They passed me to cancellation team who said they cannot deal with it only collections can. The issue is that I cancelled in July but you have no record of my call or letter.

  • formula1girl Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England

    @virginmedia Im only unwilling to use the chat as after today’s conversation by phone with the 2 departments I got told could sort out my issue & they couldn’t I am emotionally broken.

  • CoachZen Andy Rowlands 💙 (@CoachZen) reported from Fareham, England

    @virginmedia please explain why you send "we've fixed the phone problem in your area" text messages when you have not fixed it.

  • SteveWasteney Steve (@SteveWasteney) reported from Netley, England

    @virginmedia Customer service is still the poorest of all the media companies I see. Can't use live chat without it dropping out, can't phone because the menu system doesn't cover what you want to talk about. Do you even have an e mail address to contact. I have had enough!!!

  • vetlocksmith Veteran Locksmiths (@vetlocksmith) reported from Fareham, England

    @virginmedia your broadband connection is disgusting, we have called to be told that we need to wait 24 hrs to see if there is an issue. Not good enough this is now affecting my business for my staff !!

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    @NewWorldLoading @ODEONCinemas I pulled off the ultimate scam by using the O2 priority app which I now have access to as a customer of @virginmedia following their recent merger 😈 Free ticket at odeon every Monday

  • Macsaint99 Mark Cook (@Macsaint99) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia @TimTastic38 Ok, so if we paid part of the bill as we had a loss of service for part of the day that would be fine too?????

  • rahim94 Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, England

    At this rate, Virgin Media is gonna have to change their name because that's bound to offend some woke idiot somewhere 🙄 #BBCQT

  • jizzygelespi Jizzygelespi (@jizzygelespi) reported

    @virginmedia I've had the problem since the 5th of December 2020 and every time I call I get a different answer or no answer at all, it's quite frustrating.

  • trymedo Tom Dyer (@trymedo) reported

    @ColinTDF @123reg I've not used them for about 10 years. They are the most unreliable domain registrar ever and in the same league as Virgin media for **** support.

  • davidbrown1982 David Brown (@davidbrown1982) reported

    @virginmedia Spoke to a manager finally. Couldn’t care about my issue! Wonderful!

  • DonnaScroonie Donna Taylor (@DonnaScroonie) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah after being a customer for many years didnt know if you change your package your now in another contract? You are unable to supply me at my new house so why am I having to pay??? Shocking.

  • dapper_dan83 Daniel Davies (@dapper_dan83) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve requested that my telephone number remained the same when I changed my contract and it’s been two weeks now and no change. When I call up someone says it will be done in 48 hours and it never happens.

  • kn8_____ killa (@kn8_____) reported

    I wish @virginmedia never existed as an internet service provider

  • ionasurveyor Iona 👷🏻‍♀️ (@ionasurveyor) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not something I am willing to disclose publicly but given I’ve raised a complaint almost 5 weeks ago and you promise to come back to me in 28 days, I will take it further.

  • AlexInstone Alex Instone (@AlexInstone) reported

    @virginmedia why have you left me without wifi for over 30 days, then give me mobile wifi as a solution, then charge me £160 to leave the mobile wifi even though the sales assistant told me that i wouldn't have to pay anything. It's only taken me 14 hours on the phone to no fix

  • gammagemmagamma gammagemmagamma (@gammagemmagamma) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, can't you just pass this on to someone who can look me up from my customer number and send me the correct contract? That is all I want, I don't want to spend ages on the phone or webchat explaining.

  • gammagemmagamma gammagemmagamma (@gammagemmagamma) reported

    @virginmedia Ok. It would be a much better service if you could contact customer services yourself. I expect they have been trained to add on a this small amount in the knowledge that most people won't bother spending ages on the phone challenging £3 a month!
