  • mrmrjarrold Matthew Jarrold (@mrmrjarrold) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Sorted now but 1/2 hr wait is unacceptable you should be informing customers of waiting times and/or offering callback service. #Amazon and #eBay do this really well.

  • pven91 PV (@pven91) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia really unhappy with the service, got a new box yesterday and the start up checklist won’t load... called your helpline and they didn’t help us over the phone. Sending an engineer next weekend so we have a week without tv. Please help.

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia You can start by reimbursing my Mother for one, it’s disgusting this type of thing goes on. How dare you say my dead Father ordered Sky cinema, something he would never have done in the first instance. You really do need to get your customer care in order

  • libbyjaynekeane Libby Keane (@libbyjaynekeane) reported from Liverpool, England

    @EmmaBall5 @virginmedia Ohh Emma you’re in for a treat with these 😂😂 worst customer service ever

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Not yet it hasn’t but a complaint will certainly be raised. I am on my way out, so sorry no..

  • davekellydj Dave Kelly (@davekellydj) reported from Liverpool, England

    @vaughanliam11 @virginmedia It kept losing connection when o did that. Beyond poor

  • davemc_exile Dave McCormack (@davemc_exile) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia We are talking to them and not to be disrespectful but they are clueless. All you care about is getting the contract signed then tough for the future - it is a shocking way to do business and I work in sales and would get sacked for the way to treat existing clients

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia How do I cancel my Virgin please I don’t need this rubbish contacting people being told it’s sorted nothing being done then contacting people. I’m the victim someone stole from you and put it on my bill and you don’t care hate Virgin terrible service

  • mickryanphoto Mick Ryan (@mickryanphoto) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia As usual #virginmedia customer care left wanting as I suspected. No follow up, you really are a total disgrace #poorservice #moneyfornothing

  • JonGre69 Grolshy (@JonGre69) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia WiFi off again phone up and I get asked to call again at a more convienient time because you are busy. Do you know why you’re busy it’s because I expect you have thousands of others irate customers calling you because your service is SHITE! 😡

  • John_B58 John B (+) (@John_B58) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Like I said I registered for updates over the weekend and never got any.

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported from Kirkby, England

    @virginmedia are awful hate them disgusting service. Fed up of spending time trying to get refund for someone gaining entry to their box and running up my phone bill

  • Classychick65 michelle orrelljones (@Classychick65) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Been disconnected by yourselves without requesting to cancel my service. No call back as promised, spent an hour on phone earlier to be told might be 72 hours until anything can be done after 20 years of loyalty I think I merit more than this shoddy treatment

  • davemc_exile Dave McCormack (@davemc_exile) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia I will certainly do this sorry but absolutely shocking customer service strongly thinking about moving now

  • kaths77x Kathryn Skelly (@kaths77x) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No it’s not worth explaining things once again, I’ve spoke to customer service, I spoke to someone on here the other day and I’ve spoke to the resolutions team and have just been fobbed off by all 😡

  • davemc_exile Dave McCormack (@davemc_exile) reported from Warrington, England

    Really frustrated with @virginmedia customer service - or lack of customer service can’t give us the correct information, 4 calls and been put on hold for 13 minutes with out being told why - @SkyUK are you any better might give you a call

  • davemc_exile Dave McCormack (@davemc_exile) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia your customer service borders on awful all morning trying to sort tv packages out and still none the wiser

  • soniaagnew1 Sonia (@soniaagnew1) reported from Liverpool, England

    Upgraded my @virginmedia WiFi package a few weeks ago on advice from call centre - still absolute rubbish signal even at 7am on a Sunday morning! #ivebeenconned

  • MisterDaz MisterDaz (@MisterDaz) reported from Ellesmere Port, England

    @virginmedia No. I work, so don’t have a spare hour during the day. I’ll call to cancel when I can fit it in. £120 odd per month should enable me to watch a recording.

  • Lucy8720 Lucy87 (@Lucy8720) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia Look. Same again, Joke of a company. Wish id NEVER gone with Virgin. Sorry kids, cant watch the rest of the film on family night because our internet is ****.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • tonyhawken Anthony John Hawken (@tonyhawken) reported

    @virginmedia Currently using wireless, because the unstable internet effects my network adapter. Fact is one moment I can be back to 200mbps and the next it reverts to poor internet again. This is down to virgin and has nothing to do with whether I am using wired or a wireless connection.

  • BendyBill NDBILL. I grow Micro Greens and I’m Woke. Apparent (@BendyBill) reported

    Our #VirginMedia #Tivo box is rubbish. Slow, clunky, keeps buffering, takes ages to load and we can’t get through to Virgin they don’t answer the phone.

  • SemperFi_UK Mrs Rogers (@SemperFi_UK) reported

    Hey @virginmedia can you explain why my broadband is down yet again please? If it carries on much longer, you’ll be losing yet another customer

  • DarrenBekker Darren Bekker (@DarrenBekker) reported

    @virginmedia MG, my experience has been awful and I'm not interested in virgin or their shocking over subscribe rubbish services. The call centres/ help desk are rubbish. I'm tired of being ripped off by virgin. I'm leaving

  • Thisgirl862969 Hannah (@Thisgirl862969) reported

    @JojoS4578 @virginmedia Thats exactly my issue 3 gamers and it cuts off randomly. I can't join the connect so you can check the hub and they can't figure out why I can't join. My speeds it says are rapid but every test we do is as slow as the cheapest broadband you could find

  • PyxiePants Holly (@PyxiePants) reported

    @virginmedia 3 weeks I have had the internet drop out. Engineer has checked. Levels perfect. He claimed figures indicate a bottleneck in SO31. He raised s ticket. Still losing internet Customer Service just want us to reboot and book yet another engineer. Your Helpbot is useless

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    Please be aware everyone when you get a inbox from virgin media. I got one yesterday asking about my account and asking me to send my card details and card holder name and security number to verify the account. It wasn’t virgin media but a scam. Because my internet was down. Scum

  • JulianCole5 Julian Cole (@JulianCole5) reported

    @virginmedia I’d already shut that down on my phone and when I tried again it didn’t want to run the test again. So nothing to screenshot

  • Kitch11154385 Kitch (@Kitch11154385) reported

    @virginmedia Why I am getting an email at 6:30pm telling me there will be an outage tomorrow? How the f* are people working from home supposed to make arrangements at this short notice? This is unacceptable. #virginmedia #virginservice

  • grantjessop83 Grant (@grantjessop83) reported

    @virginmedia got no service says network error for broadband
