  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi!! Just letting you know my land line issue still isn't fixed. Someone is supposed to be calling me back today. I'm really hoping they do. Just wanted to say thanks to Robert too for being so helpful. Despite this still driving me mad.

  • BenjiMaccers Benji McLoughlin (@BenjiMaccers) reported from Haydock, England

    @JolyonMaugham @virginmedia @SP_EnergyPeople ongoing complaint since March. They are actually extorting me.

  • Joanneincrosby Joanne Johnson (@Joanneincrosby) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia tried to contact Virgin media for days! We had no internet for last Saturday, Sunday , Tuesday in the area . You call and it will not let you contact to anyone as it’s a complex problem in the area. Anyone know a better provider I’ve totally had enough.

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Also I’ve just tried and it won’t accept the answers to the security questions - which are both ok. Can someone contact me to help me out please?

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No nothing - no reference number. The inconsistency of service between live chat, phone and Twitter is mad. It doesn’t feel like you’re speaking to the same company

  • maffew85 Matt Duncan (@maffew85) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia App, website and number all day issue is resolved. But still no WiFi. Turned router off & on again. Nothing

  • MattyHankinson Matt Hankinson (@MattyHankinson) reported from St Helens, England

    @cathd100 @virginmedia I’m having the same issue! Annoying!!!!!

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia my dad’s email address has been hacked. VM says he has to re register his email address. He’s spent nearly 3hrs on live chat today trying to fix it. He’s 86 and relies upon his email to order from home. Can you please explain to me the process to correct this issue?

  • LukeFoster89 Lukefoster89 (@LukeFoster89) reported from Sandymoor, England

    @virginmedia Hi, what's the best way to make a complaint? I've never experienced such incompetence from a call centre in my life. Please can some one review my calls over the last few weeks.

  • maffew85 Matt Duncan (@maffew85) reported from Warrington, England

    Why do I even pay you so much money each month @virginmedia when your internet has gone down twice in two days. Shocking!!

  • Kiefer1667 Marc Lancaster (@Kiefer1667) reported from St Helens, England

    @virginmedia how can we find out when you are transferring our mobile numbers to the vodafone network instead of ee?

  • KStaff1878 KStaff (@KStaff1878) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Broadband and phone lines down in the L4 area yet again!!! I wish to cancel my contract early as you are failing to keep to your side of the agreement and provide a reliable service!!!! Piss poor

  • maffew85 Matt Duncan (@maffew85) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Down for both. Yesterday for about 2.5 hours. Today it went down for 30 minutes and again go down, so far, 15 minutes and counting. App/Website says estimated fix 3pm.

  • KStaff1878 KStaff (@KStaff1878) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down completely. Need to work from home, what's going on.

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia It’s ok I’ve managed to get around my dad’s security question - it was an issue with the lower / upper case. I’ve updated his password and his email is now receiving emails on his phone and iPad - I think we’re ok. Frustrating that the live chat sent him around in circles

  • Andy_Dunbar Andy Dunbar (@Andy_Dunbar) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Is that minimum 12 months subscription or can I cancel at anytime?

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia This takes me through to a help and support page - what do I do next?

  • gilliblogs Gill Lysons (@gilliblogs) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @yicker @virginmedia Had the same thing when my Gran was poorly, trying to explain to HMRC why they couldn’t visit her for an assessment - eventually I had to say “look, she’s dying” Bloody awful . Hope you’re ok xxx

  • mrmrjarrold Matthew Jarrold (@mrmrjarrold) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The main thing here is that not one person who I have come into contact with in your organisation wants to take ownership of the problem and try and resolve it which is the essence of customer service. It’s a massive fail.

  • gbam86 Graeme Bamber (@gbam86) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia @gbam96 Yes it has been cancelled now, it was the manner it took to get there! Nearly 20 mins of asking to cancel! he had a bad attitude. Very disappointed with the customer service

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Melaniemurrish Melanie Murrish (@Melaniemurrish) reported

    @virginmedia internet dropped four times today, was on hold for an hour and hung up on, now have a message saying it's too busy and to call back. Absolute shambles. Honestly don't even want a response to this, but want to warn people how **** the service has become.

  • michaeldthoey Michael Hoey (@michaeldthoey) reported

    @virginmedia trying to cancel an order. 50 minutes on hold. Transferred twice then cut off. How do I connect with someone who can help

  • TrentSneddon Trent Sneddon (@TrentSneddon) reported

    @virginmedia I'm only using one device at a time, but I have noticed a few outages from wired devices recently too. But the bigger problem is dropping out of Teams calls every time I make one. It's happened about 8 times today alone!

  • susanmos susan moseley (@susanmos) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently there are engineering problems. However the internet has been on and off for some time.

  • walks_sc Walks (@walks_sc) reported

    So @virginmedia, why should I, as a customer of many years, be paying £240 a year (50%) more than a new customer for the same package? In the car insurance industry this is now illegal, why do you think it is still OK? 🤔 💷 💷 💷 💷

  • rahul_modgil Rahul Modgil (@rahul_modgil) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia Please see attached for your reference. No one is there to help #Shame

  • davehylo Dave :))) (@davehylo) reported

    @virginmedia Sort out your muck customer service, can't get through to anyone on the phone to cancel my mobile service..filled out the cancellation from on Monday and nobody has still got back to me either, so you can take me 30 day notice from that, won't be paying me next bill 👍

  • Hydra_Saiko Hydra ヒドラ (@Hydra_Saiko) reported

    @virginmedia please keep the signal stable in the w3 area

  • ChrisSalacinski Chris Salacinski (@ChrisSalacinski) reported

    @virginmedia I suppose the tactic is to make me hold for as long as possible so I hang up and don’t leave Virgin Media. Cunning!!

  • Hydra_Saiko Hydra ヒドラ (@Hydra_Saiko) reported

    @virginmedia They've fixed it but the signal went out a moment ago
