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

    @virginmedia This has been ongoing for over a month now. Pixelated on BBC2, E4, Channel 5 etc. I’m entirely feed up with this awful service and this month my bill has increased again.

  • LawroGardiner Lawrence Gardiner ➡️ (@LawroGardiner) reported from Basildon, England

    @Dianemiddleto @tankhead666 @virginmedia Thanks. I got the text hours after talking to Virgin Media on the phone to activate my hub after a house move. Never had it before. Something not right in their call centres.

  • WUFC2005 Football 4 All (@WUFC2005) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia nothing but issues. 2G & 5G always stops working. Updates happens when ever it feels like. And every time I contact Virgin, it's like talking to a 6 year old.

  • KudaLudaLegend1 Kuda Madzikanda (@KudaLudaLegend1) reported from Gravesend, England

    Seriously getting towards 24hr broadband outage..Can someone tell me if I can cancel my contract as technically @virginmedia have not met their contractual obligation🤔

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

    @virginmedia No advice, no contact = appalling service. This is the problem!

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

    @virginmedia Another week has passed, still no contact from your unbelievably awful resolution team!

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

    @virginmedia Faulty equipment, price rise and awful customer service.

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia why oh why do you keep sending me paper bills AND charging me for them, I have never asked for a paper bill and have phone to cancel them twice 😡🤬 and this morning what do I get 😡😡😡

  • nickihendrix4 nickihendrix (@nickihendrix4) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia what the actual **** is wrong with you people if it was phone bill you guys would have deducted all long time ago but y’all don’t want me to make calls and y’all decided not to warn us either. I swear to God I’m not paying my bill this month periodt

  • karl_holden Karl Holden (@karl_holden) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia the service is deteriorating. Time to review your performance and reveal the source of your problems before your customer base starts to become even more disenchanted.

  • marcsnappy Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported from Basildon, England

    @Shadow_Official @virginmedia This issue I found happened more on wifi, I had to put in a secondary switch and run everything via Ethernet.

  • sharonblaxland Sharon (@sharonblaxland) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia has gone down, no internet and only a few obscure tv channels.... that I’m watching, so I can keep watching telly 😳

  • NormanStiff Namron #FBPE (@NormanStiff) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia HI, your on-demand service is not really on- demand, I tried to watch Sundays Line of Duty today it is not on demand unless I pay another service, why is this.

  • LAURABELLE72 Laura Elliott (@LAURABELLE72) reported from Thundersley, England

    Have some sense @virginmedia if your mobile phone systems are having issues why wait until the caller has been on hold for over 15 minutes to play the recorded message that says there's nothing you can do about it #********* #CustomerService

  • MalcolmLouth Mac (@MalcolmLouth) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia WiFi signal is awful. Called you 100 times. Keep getting same run around. Will find someone who can deliver.

  • MalcolmLouth Mac (@MalcolmLouth) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia My approach is simply to contact my service provider who I pay a lot of money to and ask them to sort it. That hasn’t worked.

  • Steve_Butler SB78 (@Steve_Butler) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Just called customer services asking for some cable so I can move a TiVo box - completely unhelpful & didn't understand what I wanted Just kept telling me £99 for an engineer

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GwailuJ J. (@GwailuJ) reported

    @flossybball @virginmedia I was with them for 12 years. The issues happen when your contract is finished and you call a month in advance to let them know you will not be renewing. After they offer you a deal and you say no thanks they ask you to think about it. They then continue to charge you monthly

  • HenleyDB Henley (@HenleyDB) reported

    @virginmedia How is your support SO BAD? It's bottom of the barrel. Truly frustrating and takes hours.

  • ShanusGoldberg Shane Goldberg (@ShanusGoldberg) reported

    @virginmedia hey my internet is down in old street, London area, around Featherstone street. I’ve checked your website to see if there are any issues and it says there aren’t any. Can you confirm this please?

  • Iwillreturn Juan Van-Volstenshnit (@Iwillreturn) reported

    @virginmedia Constant hub reboots, which quite clearly coincides with general mobile data drop outs. Yes customer care are unable to recognise this as its not on their script.

  • SPH1964 Stevie (@SPH1964) reported

    @virginmedia I haven't. Will give that a try. Been with Virgin since the NTL/Blueyonder days, so 30+ years. Don't really want to leave but outages/fix times/CS awful in last 12 months, and City Fibre is now an option. I've WFH for 12 years & can't rely on Virgin anymore

  • NorthernSaint72 Paul Wilcox (@NorthernSaint72) reported from Barrhead, Scotland

    @virginmedia your broadband service is woeful. Every single day for months it goes off. Stuck in a contract that does not provide the service we pay for. All we are told there is an issue in our area. You won’t have any customers here soon.

  • callumburns2008 Callum Burns (@callumburns2008) reported

    @virginmedia Would help if your Indian advisors stayed on the phone instead of hanging up on me because they don't have a clue what they are doing. Shambles of a company how hard is it to cancel an engineer appointment, f me.

  • _Nikolius_ Nik (@_Nikolius_) reported

    @virginmedia Will be a shame when you're replaced with AI like chat GPT. Thanks for the help, atleast some of virgins money was wasted paying you, so not a complete loss for me I guess.

  • Lamb0fGodd Andrea 🎃🖤 (@Lamb0fGodd) reported

    @virginmedia hey I'm trying to cancel a SIM deal that you included with my TV package however I have never used the SIM, so do not have a phone to use it in and no way of actually cancelling it and you are going to start charging for it next month? How can I cancel it?

  • GwailuJ J. (@GwailuJ) reported

    @flossybball @virginmedia Hours on the phone talking to morons who say they want to help they charge again so you call again, and again and again then they call their bailiffs. @virginmedia are bullies, I am in contact with elderly people they are still bullying. Scum of the earth money grabbing scammers.
