    Amanda Davies (@AmandaD00131015) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia Still not had the courtesy of a phone call 30 days after making 2 complaints. I would NEVER EVER recommend @virginmedia @libertyglobal. I had a box fitted to my house without my permission & hadn’t ordered

    Miles Gomme (@MilesGomme) reported from Cumnor, England

    @virginmedia why did you bother sending out the email about opting out of having your Wi-Fi settings changed, when you go and do it anyway!! I had to reset and turn off all the changes you made! If it isn’t broken don’t fix it!!!

    @CloopR @virginmedia Also had a huge issue with Together Energy who owed me £500 and wouldn’t pay it. Eventually contacted finance lady at Daily Mail who contacted them and I got my money. Will dig her details out if I can. She was very helpful.

    @virginmedia WiFi down all day in Oxford - any idea on a time to fix ?

    A1NOS (@a1_nos) reported from Abingdon, England

    @CloopR @virginmedia Just horrid. I had the same problem with Vodafone. In the end the only way I resolved it was a good friend was golfing buddies with the CEO otherwise I don’t think I’d have sorted it.

    @virginmedia Any idea when the broadband issue for ox145 will be fixed. When I ring 150 I get no actual update, just that you are working on it. I work from home and rely on this. Ta. :)

  • Hoopsjackal
    Mark Crossley (@Hoopsjackal) reported from Wheatley, England

    @virginmedia I was promised a call back within 24 hrs on Saturday, still nothing. Problems with TV and Broadband, can u please arrange an engineer urgently

  • travellingbex
    Bex Allen (@travellingbex) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    4yrs with @virginmedia never had a problem. But now that I do their 'customer service' sucks, endless cycles of talking to bots on their website, or being on hold for hours on the phone! 3 days of this just trying to get the Internet I'm paying for! #frustrated #virginmedia

    @virginmedia broadband down in oxford. Looks like this is a national issue. When will it be fixed ?

  • HollySquirrel
    Kim Marie Pike (@HollySquirrel) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia We need this sorting, as there are 3 of us working from home, involving video meetings. How do we get in touch with you to sort our services out? Our TIVo box is also slow to respond and on-demand isn’t working, due to internet problems. Help. Now. Please.

  • chrisdaleoxford
    Chris Dale (@chrisdaleoxford) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness @virginmedia A major fault apparently. They claim to be “working hard” to fix it. Shambles

  • Brimson1
    David Brimson (@Brimson1) reported from Yarnton, England

    @virginmedia TV froze during Netflix. Apparently all services are down. TV, home phone and Broadband. Please check phone connection on our home phone. Only my mobile connection with 4g works. Are you able to update which areas are down? We are OX5 area.

  • ajthesheepdocto
    Michelle Wolfenden (@ajthesheepdocto) reported from Grove, England

    @virginmedia upgrade to 360 has caused no end of issues - slow WiFi, slower TV, losing saved programmes, and customer services very unhelpful. When we suggested complaining they hung up. #virgin #nocustomerservice

  • ellejack1824
    Andrew Daly (@ellejack1824) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia no reply from your customer services number - I need a broadband engineer visit. How do I arrange this if noone answers the phone !

  • wcbutcher
    Bill Butcher (@wcbutcher) reported from Kidlington, England

    For a communication co @virginmedia aren’t very commutative. Their internet is down AGAIN. 3rd time in 2 weeks. I saw one of their men at a roadside junction box. That’s dangerous they should leave that to the experts. I am seriously thinking of returning to @bt_uk

    Inmita Medina (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England

    @virginmedia You apologize??? Really??? In the middle of a pandemic , I am a key worker and had to work from home today band I have missed all the meetings. I wish I could cancel my contract and had nothing to do with Virgin ever again!

  • Adamox2020
    Adam (@Adamox2020) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia shocking WiFi issues in the Oxfordshire area. Sort it out. Its been on and off for months now. Fix it quickly. No excuses please. It's annoying and frustrating 😒

    Melisa Soto (@Melyclassy) reported from Oxfordshire, England

    @virginmedia thank you for being an example of how bad customer service works! It took me 4 months to get on hold of you to cancel my service #NeverAgain

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SprocketEtQuill
    Sam Greenland (@SprocketEtQuill) reported

    @virginmedia Another Virgin Media engineer came out again to bury the cable from house to street. The cable is now in trunking over ground and the internet service was severed. You have said it will take yet another on-site engineer to fix the connection and left me without a connection for the week - until an engineer is available. You have, however, paid £100 towards the cost of the alternative internet provider. Your logic was £30 for data (on a #GiffGaff SIM card which I chose) and £70 for a dongle. I bought a £120 4G modem for external use that connects directly to my #Unifi switch on WAN2, bypassing your hub altogether and giving a connection back to my whole house rather than just one computer with a USB port. Given it's taken since November to bury this cable, I'm not convinced tomorrow's engineer will be able to fix the connection or bury the cable. We will see how the day unfolds. Your contact centre staff all aim to be very helpful, and your service (when it's working) does provide a decent connection most of the time, but your implementation is lacking.

    @virginmedia let me get this straight you have a chat bot that never works just sends you in loops also cannot contact a human agent, need to change V6 boxes to V60 but impossible because virgin media is uncontactable

  • Samina_masood3
    Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported

    @virginmedia we’ve had complete loss of internet since 2/5/26 due to broken cable, yet no proper fix or technician visit despite repeated promises. Instead, you sent someone to “clean router” & logged it as speed issue not total outage. It is unacceptable. Plz resolve urgently

  • Kathlee69436088
    Kathleen McCabe (@Kathlee69436088) reported

    @VirginMediaIE Workmen were digging outside last week (the same place as once before when they severed the virgin media line). Since then, our Internet service quality has been fluctuating with very low service at times. Working from home. Can you assist please?

  • nottmsteve
    Nottmsteve 🇬🇧 (@nottmsteve) reported

    Had an appt this pm for @virginmedia to come for this phone line transfer. It's bad enough that they want a 5hr window, even worse when they don't show up. Went to lodge a complaint but tells me I'm not the a/c holder. It's been in my name for over 30 years! I'm not best pleased

    @virginmedia are you having problems in Dh47ln area my internet hub will not connect so we have had no internet this afternoon I’ve tried to reset it with no luck

  • JustAnAlienOk
    RogerSmithUpInThisBitch (@JustAnAlienOk) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi has been slow for the past few days. The app is constantly showing that there is an issue with Virgin in my area. Today it isn’t working at all. How long does it take to sort out? The weekend is coming up and no wifi 🙄

    @virginmedia shocking service, I’ve tried to contact today as my broadband has been down since last night I’ve done all the steps and there is no way to book a service call. App says no issues then I do a test and it says intermittent issues please get this fixed !!!

    @_HadleyGamble @virginmedia A common "customer service" complaint across many companies. Poor service is expected these days.
