  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

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

    @virginmedia why are no one answering your lines all I wanna do is cancel my package

  • VenusEnvi VenusEnvi (@VenusEnvi) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia what’s the point of asking me to text when I’m ready to set up the new hub if your going to deactivate the old one before I’m ready!! Good job I have unlimited data on my mobile network!!

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.

  • kellydyke08 Kelly **** (@kellydyke08) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133. I think a refund is due to a lot of customers 👎🏻👎🏻#virginmediadown

  • nigelrumsey Nigel Rumsey (@nigelrumsey) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Your link says it can’t find any issues, there are issues. Can you advise if it’s being investigated? What’s the eta? Thanks.

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?

  • pauldee74 Paul Dwyer (@pauldee74) reported from Grays, England

  • 1CreativeRay Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  • pauldee74 Paul Dwyer (@pauldee74) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia 02038271376 is this one of your numbers been getting calls for 3 days saying there virgin and problem with my internet!!!

  • KatiePurkiss Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    . @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

  • pauldee74 Paul Dwyer (@pauldee74) reported from Grays, England

  • MrChips2000 MrChips (@MrChips2000) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.

  • 1CreativeRay Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

  • sinozza Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I spent over an hour on the phone yesterday trying to get through to a customer service rep only to get cut off. Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??

  • rrrussboy Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • optimusjrprime - (@optimusjrprime) reported

    @virginmedia and even when it does reconnect it’s incredibly slow and laggy. used to just stop working weekly at midnight, now it’s happening every day. at least at midnight it was scheduled maintenance according to the website, whereas now I get no hint at what’s going on.

  • KellyannBrown10 Kellyann Brown (@KellyannBrown10) reported

    @virginmedia How does that work when I am at work myself. Its outdated that I have to call to cancel

  • Pupeteking CNf (@Pupeteking) reported

    @virginmedia @DianaRoss it is frustrating to have to wait half an hour for them to pick up the phone and then make excuses or directly hang up the phone to avoid refunding £141.75 that you owe us

  • 1sophiereynolds Sophie Reynolds (@1sophiereynolds) reported

    @virginmedia I have been having intermittent connection issues for the past few weeks whilst working from home, as if this isn’t bad enough - the connection has gone down right before I’m about to watch love island. This is the final straw now 😤

  • swingate79 swingate79 (@swingate79) reported

    @virginmedia Sadly doesn’t help in terms of time I’m waiting to have FULL service I’m paying for. Need cable sorted asap. Was originally told it’d be done 16th June, but now happening 9 weeks later. No confidence in new date. During which time I’m paying full price. I need cable done asap

  • stnjeon eve (@stnjeon) reported

    @virginmedia i have looked and it says there should be no issues. however my wifi has been out for over three hours. i need it up immediately for work tomorrow so would like some answers please! 🙃

  • AndyJ74551315 Andrew James (@AndyJ74551315) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t register the fault as it just comes up as bad error. And there is no point troubleshooting as you obviously haven’t fixed the fault. And the website appears to be deliberately designed to have as little human interaction as possible

  • KellyannBrown10 Kellyann Brown (@KellyannBrown10) reported

    @virginmedia No I haven't. Twice I have been cut off after reaching the hour mark. I want to give 30 days notice to cancel my contract

  • gizzyrfc3 Graeme Millar (@gizzyrfc3) reported

    @virginmedia ridiculous customer service, been waiting since 10:30am to hear back from someone about turning my internet and tv back on, so close to cancelling the lot!!!!!

  • AndyJ74551315 Andrew James (@AndyJ74551315) reported

    @virginmedia I haven’t called as I’m not at home. The check status page told of a fault from Sat lunchtime with an estimated fix time of 13.55 today which became 6pm. At 6pm it declared no issues though I still had no tv. Internet was also off all day but came back at the estimated time
