-
Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England@virginmedia I tried that and that’s how I got stuck in this situation. Is there a number I can call that is DIRECT for a complaint?
-
Martin Spiers (@martinaspiers) reported from Oughtibridge, England@virginmedia That would appear only to relate to your services? I'm not a customer (except via 02).
-
Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England@virginmedia And I can’t raise a complaint on the site without having an account, which I don’t have, so that is a pointless endeavour as well
-
Barry Wilkinson (@millersfm2011) reported from Conisbrough, England@virginmedia Hi, Liam said someone would call back tomorrow. No issue with service, just can't have in the new build. The service is not in the area. Let's see if we get the call back tomorrow. Shouldn't treat a leaving customer like ****.
-
Calming Chameleon (@Mashcat) reported from Sheffield, England@koffee_truffles @virginmedia I’ll try calling again tomorrow and go through to cancellations.. if they won’t sort I’ll leave .. I’ve only ever had them too - never used another provider 🙈
-
GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia So you're telling me to be without stable /any Internet for at least 3-5 days and that is okay and acceptable? No. We work from home. You need to fix this.
-
Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves
-
Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk Wish I could enjoy this but my so called 500mb service is so poor I’ve virtually been without internet for a week. Finally your team viewed it as urgent because I do work from home on Zoom and…an engineer is coming on Tuesday. When BT Reach put full fibre in my area it’s bye bye
-
Barry Wilkinson (@millersfm2011) reported from Conisbrough, England@virginmedia Well this is a cracking start. A call back tomorrow rescues the situation. Been a virgin customer since broadband came along. Fingers crossed.
-
Peter Boardman (@peterboardman64) reported from Chesterfield, England@virginmedia no internet service in Chesterfield S40? What’s the problem?
-
Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported from Barnsley, England@virginmedia been on hold 15 minutes your agent been back to me yet again same telling me I have to pay extra why do virgin think that if you charge extra this will fix an issue #badcustomerservice actually get it right first time to stop repeat calls
-
Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia No one has informed me of this, I feel I have been misold again very poor. No one mentioned this previously I have been told it was a new promotional that was added, so again alot of tosh. Does anyone know what they are doing at virgin.
-
David JS Dawkes-Hall 💙 (@statto95) reported from Hoyland Nether, EnglandAnd the 4th time today everything has gone down. How am I meant to run a medical company control room when my Internet keeps dropping out? @virginmedia are you going to pay the company for loss of income which is being suffered? Or me for that matter.....
-
Ian Naylor (@ianpnaylor) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia Not really. He said that there had been an outage in the area. That seems to happen nearly every day at the moment. Resetting the box multiple times, running a test, waiting then hoping.
-
John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.
-
Phil J (@TWO_Librans) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia Just want to lower my bill or cancel
-
🏴steve wilcock 🏴 (@wilcock_steve) reported from Barnsley, England@virginmedia is the email down again??
-
Adam (@tevowl9) reported from Brinsworth, England@virginmedia on the phone for 30 minutes, WhatsApp message and technical support still not sorting us out! Oh but we can double what we pay and get a new hub!! New customers get it for £25

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
andy spinoza (@andyspin) reported@virginmedia my screen keeps having a giant error message ‘Channel Failed’ over the picture which is actually working! Anyone else having this issue? Usual rubbish Virgin customer service not picking up - waiting over 45 mins now.
-
UK veteran (@irishguard1998) reported@Magnoli23215778 @virginmedia They are terrible I left them years ago
-
meg (@MeganJuliaaa_) reported@virginmedia you said an outage was fixed in my area but the internet box is still flashing red?? why lie
-
Helen Bedford (@helenxbedford) reported@virginmedia Hello! I have an engineer visit booked but it’s not on the app. I’ve raised a complaint about that but my complaint isn’t on the app. I started a live chat and was asked to move it to WhatsApp’s, but didn’t receive any comms. How can I get any response from Virgin?
-
Bobby Bucks (@b0bbybux) reported@SBarrettBar @tescomobile Interesting, our fibre was down recently (Virgin Media, avoid like the plague) and our Tesco Mobile data coverage was absolutely terrible. If it haven’t been for my neighbour giving me access to his network, I would have been screwed. And we were down for a bloody week 🤬💩
-
⚫️ Ali 🏴 (@alibali50) reported@virginmedia Not my issue. Read post above.
-
Our Electric World (@O_E_W) reported@TheEvEngineer @gigaclear @MartinSLewis I used to get the same with Virgin Media when it was our only option. Simple solution is to swap and change to the cheaper deals. I got an Orbi mesh router a while back. It should help simplify our next swap as it keeps the same network name whatever company we’re with.
-
Sharon Williams (@SharonWill65057) reportedTired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8K_Best_IPTV53 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies
-
Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reportedDay 35 of absolutely no services from @virginmedia and no useful information about when/if the outage in our area will ever get fixed. Let’s hope that @guardian Consumer Champions will look into this - I’ve just written to them. @Ofcom
-
Paddy Sweeney (@PaddySw99745534) reported@virginmedia @_JIMBO55 You still have not got it ! A customer has problems with your service who has messaged, emailed and called VM but you still have not dealt with their issues. Take your out of date equipment out of my home and I will move on to a better provider. For an 82 year old unacceptable.
