  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

  • tomrushton88 Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Or put me through to a manager or try to be remotely helpful in keeping me as a customer, im trying to sign an 18 month contract to give you money every month which I could just give to someone else I will not let this lie till i have my money back!

  • tomrushton88 Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia And the last complaint I raised over this got cancelled because it didn't have any details to the complaint even though all the messages are there to see through your WhatsApp service but the retentions team can't see that or deal with the complaint or help in anyway way

  • Parleyyyyyy Josh (@Parleyyyyyy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just done that. If you watch the video though you’ll see it doesn’t even let me get to the login page. As soon as I click on virgin media customer it tries to take me to a website & then closes down

  • ZachcloseYT zach close YT 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, England

    You say you care about your customers and if you did you would fix your ******* **** Internet problems that everyone is having and don't even bother replying @virginmedia

  • andym1908 Andrew (@andym1908) reported from Warrington, England

    @skytv @skytv . I am disappointed with your customer service and technical team . They have disconnected my sky viewing card . Why ?. I want rectifyying ASAP . Or shall I just cancel my subscription and go over to virgin media

  • kevsauno Kevin Saunderson* (@kevsauno) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia hello, issues with TV and WiFi in Liverpool L12 area this morning. No issues showing on the app. Tried all the usual stuff but still no connection.

  • alandean1878 Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Everything struggles to stay connected to the Internet. Mobiles, laptops, the TV's. I'm not sure if the speed is an issue as I haven't checked it. (I'm not sure how to.)

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

  • CllrMichaelHaw Councillor Michael Haw *🇺🇦 (@CllrMichaelHaw) reported from Eccleston, England

    Virgin media customer service 🥴😭🤯

  • Nicolajb87 Nicola Bates (@Nicolajb87) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Im not free no but shes managed to get a whats app going although the numbers they are giving her are not working. She just wants her phone to work.

  • alandean1878 Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia The nightmare continues!!! Buffering is now a way of life for us. As is watching any programme on a streaming service in short two minute bites!

  • tomrushton88 Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England

    @virginmedia Don't use this company its disgusting and disappointing the way they treat customers. Been trying to sort my contract out for 3 months now while they rob my money, create contracts that I've not agreed to and cancel complaints that I've raised.

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Please contact me via this route - will be the quickest way to respond and resolve the issue

  • Nicolajb87 Nicola Bates (@Nicolajb87) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia can you help my mum and dad they have had no telephone line since yesterday. The internet also went off but that seems to be back on now. It’s vital we get the phone on asap

  • AckerHeron Tony (@AckerHeron) reported from Liverpool, England

    Hi @virginmedia, my dear old mum has been on the phone for 20 minutes because her broadband has gone down. Your advisors keep saying to reset the hub and disconnecting before it's sorted. Any ideas? Still using the crap one you sent years ago despite her recontracting

  • SmithysMaud Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia can someone help me please? I’m about to lose my ****. Never ever known anything like this company. Now telling me lies on WhatsApp. Saying i logged an issue weeks after engineers had already been out to find the fault. Refusing compensation after 4 mths no service.

  • Robertlfc_ Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia fix ur awful service!!!!

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Sorry I really don’t get it. A few hours ago I was told that your team would investigate etc. Now you’re telling you don’t have any access so I’m left to hang on with no one from VM being able to update me. Is that it?

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JulienMery Julien Mery (@JulienMery) reported

    Another fun interaction with @virginmedia calling me to try to retain me as a customer. After humouring them for 15 minutes, the agent realised that they couldn't offer a comparable deal and hung up mid-conversation. Stay away! #professionals #CustomerService #virginmedia

  • PeterHarar Tech N food (@PeterHarar) reported

    @virginmedia Co@plaint raised and ignored basically have to carry in paying.. even tough I’m not getting the service I was promised. It’s like you buy bread half is rotten but you still got it doesn’t matter if half is rotten.. you still got other half that’s how Virgin attitude is.

  • Itss_Oss Oss (@Itss_Oss) reported

    @virginmedia Like I said I’ve spoken to somebody 4 times between September and now and every time we try alternative emails which don’t work. I’m then told the issue will be escalated to technical dept but I’ve heard nothing from them EVERY TIME!!! How is that possible?!?!

  • bridgetfhill Bridget Hill (@bridgetfhill) reported

    @virginmedia Is there any way I can connect with you directly as the team at the end of the number provided are very rude and don’t seem to understand the issue. We are constantly getting conflicting information from them. I have had so much more contact with the social media team

  • Logo108858093 Logo1 (@Logo108858093) reported

    @virginmedia Lu2 9 is down. I have checked with all neighbours and they are experiencing the same issue. I can’t seem to report the fault. Going round in circles. Please could you look into it urgently!!

  • frenchguyinuk bruno legros (@frenchguyinuk) reported

    @virginmedia got the very bad customer service I ever had: the lady ask me 5 time to read my debit card detail and still had it wrong. And when she didn't know what to do hang up on me!

  • NerdSquadMascot Emily K (@NerdSquadMascot) reported

    @virginmedia How about just sorting it out instead of passing me from pillar to post. Account ref 01575303 am sure you could press the big red cancel button now and save us all a job

  • SocketToEm Socket to ‘em (@SocketToEm) reported

    Ever tried to ask @virginmedia to help with the cost of living crisis (as per their website)? They just want to retain contract for a new 18 month one or charge you to drop any services. It’s not like you are paying for rental of equipment that they have to recoup, it’s yrs old

  • towndog77 Paul E (@towndog77) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t know if it’s an issue, that’s what I’m asking. I’m pressing the red button while on sky sports football channel and nothing is happening?

  • katehub1960 Kate Stevens (@katehub1960) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin isn’t giving a current fix time it’s been a sliding scale and coming up to 48 hours by morning. All virgin users in my road in Crouch End N8 are looking at other options
