  • John_B58 John B (+) (@John_B58) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia 6pm is what you always seem to say, it’s lazy customer service and not very helpful at all to your current customers.

  • stefaniantiques Stefani Antiques (@stefaniantiques) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I rang support yesterday and they said an ongoing issue that could take up to a week and when I follow your link it says no known issues. #mixedmessages

  • Hartley86 Tim Hartley (@Hartley86) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia absolute terrible customer service on the phone over an hour and got nowhere !! Fuming 😤

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract, why cant I do this over live chat or online without someone keeping me on the phone trying to sell me a deal that is far worse than you signed me up with!! Iffer me a good deal to keep me, ir just let me cancel without fuss, Sort it out!

  • sandras_smith Sandra SmithMND (@sandras_smith) reported from St Helens, England

    @Danielle869 @virginmedia I agree. The service my 85 year old dad received was appalling. Moved to Sky, when @virginmedia asked how they could keep custom, our reply “ wouldn’t have if it was free”.

  • stefaniantiques Stefani Antiques (@stefaniantiques) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I joined yesterday and was expecting super fast fibre broadband and got intermittent slow. Liverpool L18 area. Not a good start. #regrets

  • JamesWelsh2 James Welsh (@JamesWelsh2) reported from Halewood, England

    @virginmedia can you follow me so I can discuss a problem all my services have gone off and being told can’t be reconnected until Saturday

  • neil_pandb Neil Ashurst (@neil_pandb) reported from Warrington, England

    @virginmedia Had four meetings and cheese and tomato pasta for my dinner, but I guess that's not what you meant 🙄 Once again been in a queue for over 20 minutes with no one answering. Guess I'll just have to raise a complaint and go that way 😠

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    So, at the end of my @virginmedia contract, question is, stick or twist, cost is going up and I do wonder what @SkyUK @SkyHelpTeam could offer as a returning customer, we shall see!

  • TezzP Tezz P (@TezzP) reported from Haydock, England

    Another weekend, another issue with Virgin media broadband, this has to be the worst broadband ive ever had #flakyatbest @virginmedia

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @RichPierce0079 @virginmedia @SkyUK @VodafoneUK All different issues really. Virgin is its own thing. Sky could have been a line issue, Vodafone went live earlier today but despite saying it has an internet connection it doesn’t. Almost like they’ve not activated it on their end despite the app saying the line is active.

  • djmikey32 michael old (@djmikey32) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia No call, no message, no email 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 this is a service that don't care about there customers obviously......

  • Jonesj1988 Jonesy (@Jonesj1988) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on with your customer service line the waiting times are ridiculous!!!! I only need to give you a pac number to get my number transferred why am I regretting switching providers already haven’t even got started yet 😡

  • gedbird Gerard Bird (@gedbird) reported from Formby, England

    @virginmedia very dissatisfied with your customer service for a phone fault that has occurred twice in a week, nobody actively responds to app messaging service and call from my mobile is not producing any better results. For a major communications company it is appalling!!

  • djmikey32 michael old (@djmikey32) reported from Garston, England

    @XboxLiveLogon @virginmedia No i dont i want great service and a engineer who turns up when they are scheduled to attend.

  • AHeywood_84 Andy (@AHeywood_84) reported from Golborne, England

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my contract, why cant I do this over live chat or online without someone keeping me on the phone trying to sell me a deal that is far worse than you signed me up with!! Offer me a good deal to keep me, or just let me cancel without fuss, Sort it out!

  • Sauber_Dave David Kelly (@Sauber_Dave) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia That was just a number to check if there were any known issues in my area. Not very helpful.

  • _DebDeb_ Deb Deb (@_DebDeb_) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia hi I recently signed up but want to cancel

  • _DebDeb_ Deb Deb (@_DebDeb_) reported from Wigan, England

    @virginmedia wow called up to cancel and the guy says I’ve successfully cancelled and then hangs up!!! Thank god I’ve decided not to go with you!

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JoeJone22150871 Joe Jones (@JoeJone22150871) reported

    @virginmedia Everything has now been clarified after a very long wait for assistance yesterday., after approximately waiting 6 hours for help. I have a new contract hopefully starting in June. It would have been about a 10 minute call if only I could have spoken directly to a human by phone

  • Lauramkle73 Laura (@Lauramkle73) reported

    @virginmedia Wow, so your resolution is if it fails for a 6th time let us know??! Thanks

  • NatHolborow Natalie Ann Holborow (@NatHolborow) reported

    @virginmedia I thought this was meant to be resolved now? It's been going down nearly every day for over a month now and it's down again. At this point will have to find another provider, currently paying for a service we aren't getting.

  • mikej2504 Michael Jones (@mikej2504) reported from Walderslade, England

    @virginmedia offers social tariff of £12.50 for 15mb which is slow. Better option almost anyone with BT £12.50 for 36mb and Vodafone £12.50 for 38mb. Virgin also has £20 for 54mb but is higher price than most others offering same.

  • whyisgolfsohard 😂 (@whyisgolfsohard) reported

    @virginmedia The technical experts on the forum are useless! Don’t you think I’ve tried that? The link you gave me has the numbers I called? It’s honestly like virgin media are oblivious to your technical issues that date back years

  • johnnyburns1888 Keir Stauner (@johnnyburns1888) reported

    @virginmedia I am not getting anywhere on there. 4 weeks of no progress. Can you help?

  • techsmything SOUK (@techsmything) reported

    @virginmedia @CommunityFibre offers fibre optic to our homes, no phone or coax required. They give customers a Linksys WiFi 6 mesh router with app support, 930 Mbps down + 936Mbps up for £27 a month. @virginmedia charges me £46.60 for 100Mbps broadband only and its going up £7, so (£53.60).

  • Lauramkle73 Laura (@Lauramkle73) reported

    @virginmedia It is. 360 box, just called again today. It would seem that despite being promised for the 4th time on Friday it still hadn’t been processed, so 5th time lucky. If this doesn’t happen now I will cancel, absolutely shocking customer service.

  • ltm1501 Liam (@ltm1501) reported

    @virginmedia Still bad, rebooted numerous times. Nothings changing.

  • JNH77 James Harrison (@JNH77) reported

    Was advised yesterday by @virginmedia to try their WhatsApp customer “support” after two months of no call backs from them regarding them setting up a SIM card that I declined. Messaged their WhatsApp support yesterday - still waiting for a response.
