  • leaver_sharon Sharon Leaver (@leaver_sharon) reported from Bracknell, England

    @virginmedia Sorted now. Received an envelope last week with an adaptor. A leaflet inside stated we would receive an email when to change it. No such email received. Communication very poor

  • BeckyMorrish13 Becky Morrish (@BeckyMorrish13) reported from Camberley, England

    Useless service from @virginmedia called 2 discuss package options on hold for ages the agent says he was trying to help them puts me on hold then put the phone down. If their customer service is like that I think I’ll try give someone else a go @skytv can you do better?

  • K74Marti Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia I have followed every instruction as advised. Turned off, set, check status and even network issue in area.. it just keeps dropping out daily with no know issues. It’s as if faster broadband has actually slowed it all down! Pse sort it out

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia My cancellation date is already set 11th Nov 2022, as I have to give 30 days notice. You lost my business yesterday after one of your CS decided to try and change my package to make it cheaper thinking that would sort problem, he wasn’t listening to complaint!

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Promised date someone to sort external connections come and gone and still same s*****. Can’t believe 4 weeks and nobody can’t fix it. 🤔I think something is fishy @virginmedia get it sorted

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia Sadly I am not, as I have never any compensation for the lost of my connection, I lost Wi-Fi for about hour yesterday but as normal virgin media are not up holding its guarantee. I an@self-employed and the one thing I rely on is my internet connection.

  • robmcewan1966 Rob McEwan (@robmcewan1966) reported from Finchampstead, England

    @virginmedia Truly astounding. I have spent hours trying to get virgin to actually carry out promises made and we’re still not there. I’ll swear the customer services reps I speak to are under so much pressure to move on to the next call they make it up as they go.

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @virginmedia No resolution has been offered by @virginmedia hence I have no cancelled my contract.

  • TheBadgerG Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia Upgraded to volt500 from 350 and speed haven’t changed now 3 weeks despite your engineer changed the hub him self still same shame I been loyal customer for the last 13 years

  • MikeBiscoe1 Mike Biscoe (@MikeBiscoe1) reported from Reading, England

    @GiganetUK @virginmedia 13:25. Down again…

  • Geordiesbird Alyson Leitch (@Geordiesbird) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia is there an outage in Woking? No WiFi at all for 2 hours so far. 😫😫🤬

  • DimiD35089880 DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England

    @virginmedia We have engineer booked for today to see what is the issue as since I upgraded never had such a bad service experience for the last 12 years with @virginmedia

  • K74Marti Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    Everyday this week and again today @virginmedia has stopped working… constant resets and in some cases down for 3-4 hrs at a time which is preventing work, training, education & entertainment! Come on #Virgin sort your reliability out pse

  • CRJG_ Cameron🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CRJG_) reported from Bracknell, England

    Huge congrats to @virginmedia for having a web chat service that is so bad that I joined the chat to upgrade my broadband, but after waiting for an eternity for replies I’m pretty much ready to just close my account

  • andburd Andrew Burdett (@andburd) reported from Maidenhead, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I’ve spent more than an hour on the phone to your advisors this morning and am getting nowhere. I have therefore now decided I would like to cancel my contract (I am within cooling-off period). Would I still be considered a ‘new’ customer if I find a new deal?

  • woodyturts Alex Turton (@woodyturts) reported from Farnborough, England

    @virginmedia service down in GU14?

  • CM40UK CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England

    @MoneySavingExp How about they just deliver consistent service? I am leaving Virginmedia and they are making it hard, there rules state if I don’t get the speeds promised they I can leave without penalties, I’ve had 7 times where I have connection in the last 3 days! @virginmedia @richardbranson

  • TimSBourne Tim Bourne (@TimSBourne) reported from Wokingham, England

    @virginmedia I'm sick of explaining this again & again - see previous tweets & msgs to VM. It isn't even noted - yesterday 2nd line support looked at my ticket & said I'm "not receiving any emails" NO NO NO! Just emails with etickets attached, even tho get non ticket emails from same sources

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • seellis11 Sarah Ellis (@seellis11) reported

    @fhplovedollface @virginmedia Same issue here. Made formal complaint in Nov - still unresolved. Intermittent broadband since install in September. Shocking customer service. Still haven’t had a call from a manager. Daughter Yr11 doing GCSE lessons online, we’re key workers working from home. Not good enough.

  • AndyCarolan Andy Carolan (@AndyCarolan) reported

    @Daniel_Bevis @virginmedia I had an unresolved issue with them last year. The only reason I’ve not changed is because they have a fast broadband connection. I’m somewhat considering moving to a lower speed just to get away from them though.

  • trevnsue trevor rutter (@trevnsue) reported

    @virginmedia Carrying on from last reply I was on phone on Friday for almost 4 hours snd I’m still paying for a service I’m not getting it’s diabolical that I can be paying this every month and it’s still not sorted ofcom even agree with me if not sorted soon I’m going to the ombudsman

  • Phil91Mufc Philip Parker (@Phil91Mufc) reported

    @virginmedia Good morning. I had fibre installed yesterday, but the internet has been dropping out intermittently, despite being connected to the router. The WiFi also does not reach the whole house as promised, which is a concern. Can I get help with this please?

  • Tomqtaxi Londons DayCzarView (@Tomqtaxi) reported

    @virginmedia I was asked to contact you at 10 am , I have a motto , Be Early , Be on time , Never Be Late

  • AndyCarolan Andy Carolan (@AndyCarolan) reported

    @Daniel_Bevis @virginmedia Yup, tried that, and the reaction from the person who surprised at me asking was “tough” They have zero awareness of brand loyalty and treat new customers better than those who have been with them for nearly 8 years.

  • seellis11 Sarah Ellis (@seellis11) reported

    @virginmedia I have been on the phone another 45.39 minutes this morning, technical support told me “I am paying for broadband not wireless” because the broadband is working I am getting what I am paying for! He told me that the wireless issue “cannot be resolved”.

  • GamingDad18 GamingDad (@GamingDad18) reported

    @virginmedia whats happened to the live chat option. I find that the best way to get things done. My Internet has been shockingly poor for a few weeks now and after 10 years with virgin with constant issues with the Internet I'm thinking about pastures new!

  • Moinul123 Moinul (@Moinul123) reported

    @virginmedia Funny you reply to my tweet on a reply of another tweet and not when I tweet you directly. Your Internet is **** and unstable, the fact that the majority of customers as you put it expect this level of service goes to show how bad your broadband is.
