Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AmyRebeccaLucy Amy Parkin (@AmyRebeccaLucy) reported

    @virginmedia I then spoke to someone on Monday who told me to place another order and we’d cancel the original order which I did. That order is now parked and I have to wait for a back office team to call me. I was told that would be in 48 hours but I’ve still not heard anything.

  • Garethvr Gareth van Rensburg (@Garethvr) reported

    @virginmedia Yes there was a fault in my area ID: F009155928 and it was reported fixed, but the problem remains and support cannot help, as they cant find the fault.

  • Burnley12334 Shane Burnley (@Burnley12334) reported

    @virginmedia why is your internet so bad and why is it not coming back on in my area as I can’t check on the service thing because it says my eircode is not a proper one

  • KevKelly14 Kev K (@KevKelly14) reported

    @virginmedia Tomorrow I’ll give you account number from that you should have my phone details then it’s down to you calling otherwise I won’t bother.

  • AmyRebeccaLucy Amy Parkin (@AmyRebeccaLucy) reported

    @virginmedia Very long story I placed an order last Thursday, it was due to be delivered Friday but Virgin told Yodel to not deliver as I didn’t answer a call from the security team. I never received a call. Then I had to wait for the phone to be returned before it could be resent (1/2)

  • Law_MsGracie Gracie Law (@Law_MsGracie) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp What about the giant hole in the ground or the pile of rubble which is what is actually causing the problem, not the vehicle.

  • SsamTime Sam (@SsamTime) reported

    @virginmedia Already tried them. If you had read my previous message you’ll see that for some reason a restriction is on my account and virgin can’t access it ??? Was told to call back after 3-5 working days… have done this twice now and not been able to resolve anything. Abysmal service

  • Karen1410 Karen (@Karen1410) reported

    22:30 last night,10:00,14:00 & now 18:30 today-all the different “we expect this to be fixed” times we have been given my @virginmedia over last 24 hours with no internet/TV service.Not acceptable when even your engineer knew it was going to be late afternoon today… yesterday!

  • Karen1410 Karen (@Karen1410) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t buy that at all. Your engineer on site yesterday said it was going to be late today so why lie to everyone on your updates. This is dreadful customer service

  • RufusLives rufus lives!! (@RufusLives) reported

    @virginmedia Well I’ve been lied to, I’ve been up-sold when I was specifically talking about being overcharged. You’ve made an error, but you won’t tell me what it was. And when I showed interest in POSSIBLY upgrading, I’m offered an inferior product BECAUSE I’m an existing customer.
