Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reportedSo @virginmedia just ignore attempts to contact them on here, meaning a spam/fraud account replies in the comments to try and catch people out. In the absence of any actual help or comms from the official account, people will be caught out. And the website is broken so there's no other way to contact (phones are jam packed)
-
CombatPug (@9f46435cb75347b) reported@virginmedia My partner has been trying to contact your company via telephone for near 11hrs! Been on hold for over 3hrs at a time! Awful service we are experiencing contact me/us It is very important!
-
Shye Ahmed (@shyeahmed) reported@virginmedia I have been trying to contact VM since Thursday to sort out contract. Waited on the phone 2+ hours and got disconnected. Then spoke to someone saying they have technical issues. Now my bill has been issued at a higher price because I cant get through to you 😡
-
Danny (@hartdj) reported@virginmedia I am a new customer. Today I received home start kit. I have plugged in the router and it isn't connecting to the internet.

👾 (@Omersaeela) reportedHi @VirginMedia, my account has been locked and I’ve been trying to contact support for 2 days now with no response. Calls are not being answered at all. I urgently need help setting up my new WiFi device. This level of support is really disappointing. Have no option 👎
