  • SamWatt30745054 Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve run test after test, at least 5-6 outages a month for last 2 years. Horrendous service and this is the final straw unless you offer me a refund of say £20 a month for last two years, if not I’m going BT and a dodgy box from Mad Frank in pub

  • RomegouxLouis Louis Romégoux (@RomegouxLouis) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia please sort the Sky Red button issue which is preventing Sheffield United fans subscribed to Virgin from experiencing the service they've paid for.

  • HarlamTK Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to resolve an issue with your collections team regarding an incorrect default and because I no longer bank with the same account and do not have those details, they won’t talk to me, yet they are happy to just take money off me without telling me why. It’s disgusting

  • SamWatt30745054 Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia you are aware that a lot of older, more vulnerable people have had alarm and safety devices installed that depend on a safe, fast, reliable service. The one that they, like, you know pay a lot of money for

  • GAMINGDRAGONUK GAMING DRAGON (@GAMINGDRAGONUK) reported from Hoyland Nether, England

    @virginmedia I already have and I reported the fault bit it see like you have a service outage in my area

  • paul_phillips83 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

  • andyksheffield Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England

    @StueyDay @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk The service is awful and customers find it too hard to get a prompt response. Last time this happened it took at least 8-10 emails before they got past the automated letter asking me to switch off, reboot and check all the connections.

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for absolutely no help what so ever. Please fix your issues

  • HarlamTK Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

  • SamWatt30745054 Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia No it didn’t help, what is the score SL V England John

  • andyksheffield 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

  • victimsvoice73 Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Yes both mum n dad are virgin and we’re still getting no signal

  • popsgolf Andrew Poppleton 💙 (@popsgolf) reported from Wentworth, England

    @O2PriorityUK I’m struggling to connect with app. I’m a @virginmedia account holder. Initial you sent me a code but via my mobile. Now my phone number is placed in the box it doesn’t recognise it. Help?

  • victimsvoice73 Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia Yes it’s signal and tried o2 got nowhere xx thanks for the reply

  • HarlamTK 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

  • HarlamTK Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.

  • paul_phillips83 Paul David Phillips (@paul_phillips83) reported from Barnsley, England

    @virginmedia the cheek or virgin media staff complain about virgin router dropping out constantly call raise a complaint and tell them router is disconnected from network and request a hub 4 as been told this is what’s needed I get told I have to upgrade to 1 gig for new router

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱🌿 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @calvg @virginmedia Thank you 🙏 Stop blaming us and be responsible for your crap connections

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MotaBomb Lumoscapers (@MotaBomb) reported

    @virginmedia Failed 2 other times. Still horrible. Service status says nothing. It’s momentary 10 to 30 minutes blips and by the time we manage to get “support” service is back and we’re told nothing can be done. We’ve been running through the list for the last YEAR

  • npjy83 Nathan Young (@npjy83) reported

    @virginmedia Called you guys and waited for one hour. The Customer Service Agent who then answered, literally was speaking to his colleagues and when I spoke, he hung up on me... Come on. Can you phone me? I literally cannot get through to someone in past 3 days.....

  • upinsmoke66 Ben S (@upinsmoke66) reported

    @virginmedia 7 hours trying to get assistance through all your channels and no help whatsoever.

  • OMills_22 O〰️en (@OMills_22) reported

    i wish nothing but the worst for whoever works at virgin media

  • lynnepattison Lynne Pattison (@lynnepattison) reported

    @virginmedia trying to get a new brown cover for the box containing my elderly mother's phone cables. Cover blew off in the storm, leaving everything exposed. Tried all day and haven't managed to speak to a person. Your WhatsApp person was absolutely no help. Any suggestions

  • petermorris1878 Peter Morris (@petermorris1878) reported

    @virginmedia No. I’ve done that. I was told by you yesterday that the ‘outage’ could last until 7th Feb. Even though your ‘tools’ don’t pick it up. No ‘tools’ please. No ‘faqs’. No bots. Just a direct phone line, or an email address. Nothing less is acceptable. Thank you.

  • Paratez Paratez (@Paratez) reported

    @virginmedia But we are going into the third day? Really, it takes three days to cancel a contract? Unbelievable….I consider you have had due notification and I’ll be cancelling the direct debit in in 28 days time.

  • Andrizu05 Andrew Harrison (@Andrizu05) reported

    @virginmedia Still can’t get through. Absolute shambles. It’s as if your purposefully making it impossible to cancel contracts…if not sorted I will contact the ombudsman.

  • petermorris1878 Peter Morris (@petermorris1878) reported

    @virginmedia I have never known anyone, anywhere to be without broadband because of an outage for a week. I won’t accept it. I will close my account ,be assured of that. Your response is basically ‘tough,you’ll just have wait.’ I won’t. Not by any stretch.

  • AdrienneAiken Adrienne Aiken (@AdrienneAiken) reported

    @rosecherished @virginmedia Yeah, I do get that, Rose, but this wasn't only at peak/busy (rush hour) times. It was happening often. Dropping out, running slow... any times of the day. And paying for speeds of 100 and often getting 18 just isn't acceptible. Nice analogy though.
