    @virginmedia I cannot express just how disappointed I am with your service. My broadband has been dire for over a week now. Constantly dropping out, slow speeds and just not fit for purpose. First thing I’m doing is switching providers when this is all over. Never again virgin..

  • coxychris chris cox (@coxychris) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I hope you are going to compensate people for these issues. Mines been like this for weeks so much so that I thought it was the super hub. Looks like I may leave I’m June service is awful

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    You make mistakes in life. Going back to @virginmedia is one of my biggest. Internet is awful, can’t sign into the media service and the customer service is nonexistent. I advise you do not do it!!!

  • Tiger118118 Thomas Hapgood (@Tiger118118) reported from Basildon, England

    Don’t ignore me @virginmedia where’s is ******** is @disneyplus 🤔🤨🤨🤨

    @virginmedia why is so hard to get in contact with you, it’s like you don’t want to help.

  • frankroe2 frank #13 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@frankroe2) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia Our virgin remote has stopped working, tried re pairing and new batteries but won’t turn volume up or down or tv on/off

  • thebooooooth Mark Booth (@thebooooooth) reported from Basildon, England

    So @virginmedia lie to you and then don't respond to you or follow up your phone request to make a complaint. Why did i ever leave Sky! The service has been shocking, wouldn't recommend Virgin to anyone

  • Mickey_Rynn Mickey R. (@Mickey_Rynn) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia internet completely down. Also your websites: can't even get on to check status elsewhere

  • BrazilArteUK BrazilArte (@BrazilArteUK) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    I’ve been waiting in all day for a package. For them not to deliver as they couldn’t ring the door bell. @virginmedia please don’t use @YodelOnline anymore they are the worst company ever.

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia There are no faults in my area. The issue is likely to be with the router as the 2.4ghz works consistently on other devices.

  • Coxy009 Ben Cox (@Coxy009) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia my internet connection is still being affected by the issue you had a few days ago! This is not good enough and I expect better.

  • Tiger118118 Thomas Hapgood (@Tiger118118) reported from Basildon, England

    **** @virginmedia I’m going to download @DisneyPlusUK on my PS4 😀😀😀😀😀

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NotMyName92 Son Goku (@NotMyName92) reported

    @virginmedia broadband absolutely shocking, website doesn’t properly work and their phone team are of no help either. Just trying to get some work done 😒

  • hi_ja_ck Jack (@hi_ja_ck) reported

    @virginmedia signal down now for 2.5 hours, but your web tool has only now (11.15) acknowledged issues at our postcode. Can I register anywhere the fact that we’ve actually been offline since 9am?

  • Gazabell Gary (@Gazabell) reported

    Terrible customer service from @virginmedia - waited 30mins for somebody to answer the call and when I did the operative didn’t know what they were doing and cut me off! No wonder I’m cancelling my account if that’s the level of customer service.

  • DdotReed David Reed (@DdotReed) reported

    I've spent over *8 hours* on hold to @virginmedia over the past week trying to cancel my contract. No response. The web "live chat" referred me to Whatsapp, which hasn't responded for 3 days. Does anyone work for Virgin Media anymore? Hello?

  • RachaelPickford Rachael Pickford (@RachaelPickford) reported

    @virginmedia According to your call centre, this still doesn’t fall short of your service standards

  • RachaelPickford Rachael Pickford (@RachaelPickford) reported

    @virginmedia They were supposed to call us directly. We have since called you twice and eventually were told that it’s a local problem but it’s obviously not a priority for you because the engineers may not be working until 30th June.

  • Tabatha18017600 Tabatha Smith (@Tabatha18017600) reported

    @virginmedia your retention team are shocking. They keep offering me a price and not changing bill to it and then say my previous call never happened. Bunch of cowboys

  • Speed3Racer Neil Kelly (@Speed3Racer) reported

    @virginmedia Link is broken John, dead page

  • Dan85128291 Dan (@Dan85128291) reported

    @virginmedia @Winepal_ I visited a yodel warehouse yesterday and the day before to be told because of the cyber incident and loss of records they are only delivering food. Honesty regarding your services or lack of them goes a long way

  • steph_1187 Steph (@steph_1187) reported

    @skytv customer service is the worst I’ve ever received. Even after being a customer for 11 years. Thankfully I’ve now moved to @virginmedia
