    @virginmedia Tried Virgin Community. Virgin rep encouraged me to take up tech package at a price. After spending 6hrs yesterday and 2hrs the day before, I am still in the same situation! This not a good service with your so-called experts!!!

  • ChristianSurfer Phil Williams (@ChristianSurfer) reported from Nailsea, England

    @virginmedia the issue now is I was promised a deal on the phone then rang up the day after and they refuse to offer me that same deal, all the details are on the email I believe I have a strong case your word is your bond. @MartinSLewis @WhichUK not best way to deal with a 22 year customers

  • StevenNott StevenNott (@StevenNott) reported from Cwmbran Central, Wales

    @chloemphoto @virginmedia If it connects to other WiFi networks from the same source ie @virginmedia then the problem is within your router itself and not any device connected to it. Your router is faulty and needs replacing. You said yourself that the router is faulty and goes offline if even moved.

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@cymboi) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia I’m trying to connect to my own and it won’t! They’re the worst piece of equipment you e ever supplied. The previous one was better!

  • cymboi MH 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺 (@cymboi) reported from Victoria, Wales

    @virginmedia The Wi-fi is rubbish, slow and crap service up stairs. Often I have to connect to extenders. It’s a two story average house. Your routers are rubbish. The older ones were much better!!

  • emilyjane73 LauraT 🔶 (@emilyjane73) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia Need to cancel my new order. It wasn’t done correctly and given the total lack of being able to contact you I have lost confidence in VM. Cannot contact anyone to cancel though, what a nightmare. Just taking too much of my time to make switching worthwhile. #painful

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • guangmei guangmei (@guangmei) reported

    @virginmedia An email was received that the first complaint had been resolved and closed. I was expecting a phone call from the supervisor and a resolution. The second was regarding the 1st complaint on why it was closed without discussion. So no wasn’t a duplicate complaint.

  • riccardochapman Rico (@riccardochapman) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I can't seem to get logged into My Virgin Media. Not recognising my logins or account details. Can you help?

  • suthers1991 Daniel (@suthers1991) reported

  • matthewdbooth Matt (@matthewdbooth) reported

    @virginmedia business customer service is the *worst*. I would crawl naked over broken glass just to get to a self-service web interface. Please, please, please don't make me speak to another customer service rep 😭

  • garethpwoodcock Gareth Woodcock (@garethpwoodcock) reported

    @virginmedia So gave my notice to terminate 2 weeks ago and you STILL haven't been in touch. You really don't like to communicate at Virgin do you !?

  • staceysarahxo Stacey Sarah (@staceysarahxo) reported

    @virginmedia No it doesn't, it just says that we've identified that there's an issue in your area and it will be fixed by 8:25pm. I'm now trying to log into your app it says I have an acc but when I try to reset the password it says the acc doesn't exist. How do you work that one out?

  • Scotteboy75 Scott Robertson (@Scotteboy75) reported

    So is it common for @virginmedia to let new customers down by not having the external pre install work carried out prior to the main install day. Shocking service for a provider trying to make their mark in to a new area which is currently dominated by @SkyUK

  • Da8blue Des Collier ⭐⭐ (@Da8blue) reported

    @virginmedia I'm waiting for a response from Customer Relation messaging team who will conveniently close at 5pm (41 minutes time) having sat online for most of my working day waiting for replies !!!! Shocking 😡🤬

  • ScienceOfDesign Nathanael Rouillard (@ScienceOfDesign) reported

    @virginmedia That sounds like that's not my problem. After being patronised and insulted, and your business decision not to let us self serve our service cancellations.
