  • Beaumont296 Marls 🐝 (@Beaumont296) reported from Bursledon, England

    @virginmedia waited in yesterday for the engineer to come sort my faulty WiFi. No show. Same with the lead that’s still lying outside in the street that is a trip hazard. Everyone needs to be aware how truly awful your internet service is!!

  • mikeyboystanley michael stanley (@mikeyboystanley) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @virginmedia I am a new customer with intermittent signal. It is not good enough. 7 days ago I was told the manager would call me back within 4-6 hours. I am still waiting.

  • Danzy92 Craig (@Danzy92) reported from Southampton, England

    @virginmedia wifi issues for over a week. Run test every day for it to just say there’s some issue in your area. When will this be fixed? Costing me money to commute somewhere where I can get wifi and disrupting my work.

  • lolla2_uk itsme (@lolla2_uk) reported from Havant, England

    @virginmedia can you sort out the internet in Leigh Park, Havant Po9 please? It’s constantly dropping out but when I run a service check it says it’s fine. It’s not fine. I pay over £60 per month and am struggling to WFH. Not just me, it’s regularly on local FB how bad it is.

  • Lou_LouFML LoUlOu (@Lou_LouFML) reported from Southampton, England

    Cheers @virginmedia WiFi gone down in the middle of the FA cup semi final. Utter **** as usual

    @virginmedia is there any known problems with your WiFi hub ? The WiFi signal I receive is terrible constantly dropping out. I spend most of the time on 3G as it’s more reliable. I have rebooted all routers and boosters but noting seems to make the WiFi work

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • zEvo_AcidicZ zEvo (@zEvo_AcidicZ) reported

    @virginmedia i've had a complaint since the 6th december about a contract that was taken out without my permission and had been promised a refund via your recorded phone calls, i've had no progress towards this except today being promised £53.20 in a cheque, do you have an email?

  • kentfoodgirl Kent food lass (@kentfoodgirl) reported

    @virginmedia Thx for your awful customer service this morning. Your call centre kept me online for 25 mins & when they couldn't resolve the issue, they disconnected me! Great 1st impression for a new customer. Still no idea what's going on!

  • Kabiru_Abu Kabiru Abu (@Kabiru_Abu) reported

    @virginmedia It’s a flawed system if you need to book an engineer to install your broad band you have to cancel an order first, set up a new order with a new box to book tech engineer and STILL not get a date promised. 2 x Virgin media boxes and NO Engineer! It’s poor

  • farsagee Fahy (@farsagee) reported

    @virginmedia shame that when it comes to cancellation you guys use delaying tactics and cut off call on purpose. Poor customer service but every year price goes up!

  • DrPragyaAgarwal Prof. Pragya Agarwal (@DrPragyaAgarwal) reported

    @virginmedia four times just this morning via calls and chats. the multi option menus are truly baffling. we were tied into a 18 month contract somehow when we never opted for that.

  • Reds01 Alan Bruniges (@Reds01) reported

    @virginmedia Having problems as my Virgin broadband has dropped out again so having to reboot laptop

  • TashLavs Tash~x (@TashLavs) reported

    @virginmedia The broadband is the issue, not the tv service, my TV is sky glass and runs off streaming therefore doesn’t work without broadband. Your engineers turned up, broke the wifi and then left us with no internet. Just poor.

  • JonT1315 Jon Tester (@JonT1315) reported

    @virginmedia The box is continuing to reboot and we are passing 3hrs, it doesn’t look promising and it suggests contacting customer services if it hasn’t worked after 3hrs, so please advise?

  • barrydiscotec Barry P (@barrydiscotec) reported

    @virginmedia No upgrades, I removed sky sports etc. they are saying the last person never set up the contract even though they can see what I was offered. Claiming they need to start again but more expensive than was agreed. Surely some way of honouring this?

  • weirdavid1 David weir (@weirdavid1) reported

    @virginmedia how can new customers get a better deal than old once that is terrible
