    @virginmedia I've been a customer with you for 21 years and your customer service is not great, I'm paying through the roof for my package, the wifi is crap sometimes, your team has offered to take my bill down £20, but when I mentioned about replacing my hub, that will cost £35

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TotallyBeans AVS1972 (@TotallyBeans) reported

    @nickkingtwo @virginmedia @NOWTV Gonna cancel my contract if you can't sort the darts coverage out. Buffering every few seconds. Literally. Atrocious!!

  • MrJ9_FFC J9_FFC (@MrJ9_FFC) reported

    What a perfect time for @virginmedia @SkySports app to not let me sign in! It’s logged me out in the middle of a darts match and right before the football! What an absolute joke!

  • Steve_M73 SteveM (@Steve_M73) reported

    @virginmedia How do I make a complaint? The phone number on website gives options but none mention complaints. BTW Virgin media must be a great place to work, just tell customers you will fix problem then call them back, do neither, then repeat.

  • Silverdoor_ silverdoor (@Silverdoor_) reported

    @virginmedia @PMIOMTT Having same issue. Can’t login into sky sports app via iPhone or iPhone using Virgin Media logins. You can’t watch it via Virgin Go as it forces you to the Sky Sports App. Very frustrating.

  • k_parrish1 Kevin Parrish (@k_parrish1) reported

    @AndyDaley @virginmedia I had to ask to cancel my contract twice to get what I wanted. £50 reduction in the end. Loyal customers should not have to do this. Next renewal of it happens again im off to Sky. Such poor customer service

  • markdrock Mark Rock (@markdrock) reported

    @woodpecker_view @virginmedia @virginmedia do not give a **** anymore. All there call centres are overseas and you cannot contact individual departments anymore. The only to leave (other people have said this on social media) is to not pay the bill and let them contact you, so you can tell them "**** OFF"

  • AEW_Blog AEWBlog (@AEW_Blog) reported

    @VMO2News @O2 @virginmedia It SUCKS that O2 has removed the 3-months switch up to 11-months. I tried to change my phone today and it wants me to pay it all off before changing. It makes no sense because I’m on the old contract with 3-months switch up :/

  • BrunoFPL_ Bruno (@BrunoFPL_) reported

    @virginmedia @SkySports sort your **** out on the app. Don’t log me off randomly then not let me sign back in when the footballs on. What do we pay you for

  • wos_occuring Andy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 (@wos_occuring) reported

    @virginmedia @Clantastic You’re not alone. @VodafoneUK “Tobi” is equally infuriating. Do the directors who implement these systems actually stress test the customer facing bot. It’s actually worse than a 60 minute hold music.
