    @virginmedia Cancelled yesterday. Was happy at £25 a month. Looks like we're off to Vodafone or Plusnet for £22. Shame really, been a decent service.

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia No that’s the problem nobody can tell me!! It’s 103 days since my services were switched off( after my 30days notice) 16th February my services were switched off. I just keep being told that numerous requests have been made to send my refund cheque!

  • paulridgway95 paul ridgway (@paulridgway95) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia Tivo box was on for about 20 mins then shut down and re booted it's self

  • dizzytix Em (@dizzytix) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia help. My broadband is constantly intermittent. I never go a day without being cut off on one of my devices. When I try to email from the account it says it’s unavailable. How can I get help

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @EmmettGraham @virginmedia Well I can’t say I’m surprised! The other week I was on hold for almost an hour, then was cut off, never actually got through!! Do let me know how you go on.

  • Orko77 Jenny (@Orko77) reported from Manchester, England

    So glad my backup unlimited @giffgaff data has expired just in time for @virginmedia to go down. Sod's law. #FirstWorldProblems

  • pauldmcdermott Paul McDermott (@pauldmcdermott) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @a_tunstall @virginmedia Cancel the DD and rest assured they will be in touch 👌🏼

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @EmmettGraham @virginmedia I sympathise with you, can’t get a straight answer from Virgin Media, You’re just passed from “pillar to Post”getting nowhere! such a Dire Company, Customer Service Non Existant! Anybody thinking of joining them should be aware and stay well away!!

  • Smrandall76 Steven (@Smrandall76) reported from Salford, England

    hi @virginmedia Nice to see as a current customer you want to charge me almost 25% more than a newbie for less stuff. Rubbish that

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia Ring the no you gave me. Passsed on to Krishia. Told me cheque has been requested but doesn’t know why never been sent. Asked me to wait 7days and she will ring me back to see If I have received it. So no further forward!! Such a Dire Company!!

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @EmmettGraham @virginmedia Well, I’m getting nowhere fast, Twitter reply said they could help, but haven’t. Just gave me a no to text to, which won’t accept texts, and a no to ring that I already had. Rung again to no avail. Can’t answer anything about my overdue refund, disgraceful!!

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia That doesn’t explain why you said you could help. I already knew where to ring and told you that I had done that many times, to no avail! I doubt that the matter is in hand and that I will ever get the promised call back,but I will certainly let you know!

  • trottermick Mavis Cartwright (@trottermick) reported from Wigan, England

    @EmmettGraham @virginmedia I actually took the option of “Are You Thinking Of Leaving Us” earlier. I was answered quite quickly, but nothing was resolved. I was, as usual transferred to somebody else and then on hold for 10mins. Still nothing resolved with my issue, Good Luck to you.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HardCand Zack (@HardCand) reported

    @virginmedia Just a reminder: this is all due to a bad installation from one of your engineers. Two subsequent engineers came and found the issue but did not fix it. It's all in the forum thread. HELP. ME.

  • BobaFatt Bobby Xennial | DJ BobaFatt (@BobaFatt) reported

    @virginmedia No resolution. Kind of a waste of time tbh. My complaint has now been logged apparently, so it's a case of waiting to see what happens in next few weeks, and whether I will actually get my service activated or whether I've wasted 1/4 of a year / hours on chats / £££ tethering.

  • StaceyCoombes Coombes (@StaceyCoombes) reported

    And I am still waiting on that call @virginmedia 😡 can safely say we will never use their services again as they clearly don’t care about their customers…

  • chirpyfrances Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported from Wakefield, England

    Been through 16 mths of lockdown, 3 working from home & hardly a glitch on the broadband. Last 8wks its gone down for several minutes a day between 10am and 1pm. Only on weekdays & its supposed to be a problem with our hub, really? An engineer could find it @virginmedia #shoddy

  • gillett_adrian Adrian Gillett (@gillett_adrian) reported

    @virginmedia I was told when I moved I could have my package at my new address it fell through my belongings are in a storage facility all I want is help to help my father whilst he's dying I'm paying for a service not receiving and I'm sick of the lies n the runaround

  • HardCand Zack (@HardCand) reported

    @virginmedia Also stop thinking Im an idiot, that's an automated line that gives the same useless advice for someone in my position then redirects me to the same useless articles online.... I need a real person to look at it, understand, and help!!!!!

  • FERGALMCGRATH Fergal McGrath (@FERGALMCGRATH) reported

    @virginmedia Till now I've wanted to avoid wasting time making a complaint. Now that I need to, I find there's no way to email Virgin. Can someone supply me with a complaints email address? #virgincomplaints #virginmedia #complaints

  • StaceyCoombes Coombes (@StaceyCoombes) reported

    @virginmedia And I am now on the phone for the 5th time to one of your shocking customer service advisors who clearly do not care about my complaint or are even listening to my experience because all they demanding is money. DISGUSTING. should have stayed with Sky.

  • StaceyCoombes Coombes (@StaceyCoombes) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I know there is a cancellation fee, which I was more then happy to pay when your customer service advisor told me this was one months bill. But then to discover the next time I call that you are actually charging me close to 10x more then this is disgusting.

  • HardCand Zack (@HardCand) reported

    @virginmedia How about your fix your services ? I filed complaints several times, I filed issues, it goes to deaf ears. Help me or I will have to get legal help because I pay for this package but it's not working and I get no help
