  • andyvic7 Andy Picken (@andyvic7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @drummerwhitey @northernsky67 @virginmedia Steve it was a last resort for me but other avenues were fruitless, I ended up getting a visit from an engineer , a booster and a reduction in my tariff after I told them I’d leave , normal customer service is dreadful, keep on pushing them

  • xTrustBandit #bandit4president (@xTrustBandit) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia u guys ******* suck . Worst internet UK

  • marcalmond7 Marc Almond (@marcalmond7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @TheHammer180 @virginmedia Best thing to do is give your 30 days notice to cancel and they will call you directly with an offer! Happened to me twice now!

  • Rocketman_86 Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes. No human tone. No customer service. The usual have you tried changing the batteries in your phone, could it be your handset etc ( they bought new ones 6/7 week ago thinking it was them) may be they should ask Virgin Media to reimburse them

  • TheLensman Mark ODonnell (@TheLensman) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia It might be best if you send a DM - we had a phone call from people who said they were virgin support. We have a phone number but the call felt wrong

  • Rocketman_86 Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Your a tech company and doesn't have an email address. Your live chat is laughable and waiting times on the phones is silly. Trying log into the account - forget password the username doesn't exist. The self help is insulting intelligence is the ringer switched on for instance

  • CJMontford Connor / MN (@CJMontford) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    Virgin Media is DOG AWFUL

  • TheLensman Mark ODonnell (@TheLensman) reported from Crewe, England

    @virginmedia The number used 01455443469 in the UK. They said they had detected problems on our router & wanted to help. They asked me to enter a web site. Having spent almost 40 years in IT I felt it was wrong. The router does have slow moments but I had not reported it.

  • cajriley51 Jacqui Riley (@cajriley51) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to sort out the issue off my password not working and the internet dropping out for over a week. I am getting passed around in circles. Please can you tell me how much notice I need give to leave and also give me an email for complaints please

  • cajriley51 Jacqui Riley (@cajriley51) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Is anyone answering your phones???!!!!!!. I've been hanging on for 35 minutes. Disgusting customer service.

  • Turnerandhooch turnerandhooch® (@Turnerandhooch) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia Still no reply , direct debit now cancelled migjt@get a phone call now . Useless organisation never again

  • cajriley51 Jacqui Riley (@cajriley51) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Sorry doesn't fix the problem

  • demonbaz666 bazza baz (@demonbaz666) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    No stream at the minute guys has virgin media has gone down more than my girlfriend 🙁🙁hopefully I will get on later guys.

  • moorland2 Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, England

    We stopped paying @virginmedia the£90 for what in fairness was complete crap and have bought a Manhattan @FreeviewTV box and couldn’t be happier. We would never go back to virgin or sky for their overpriced TV service

  • cajriley51 Jacqui Riley (@cajriley51) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Why cant someone just ring me so I can actually explain what the problem is. When I try and light in it does not recognize my mothers maiden name and I'm sure I have got that right so then I cant get any further

  • PeachyBeechy cara (@PeachyBeechy) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue with the internet service in ST4 Stoke on Trent?

  • iMeyrick Meyrick (@iMeyrick) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @zebadee1985 @virginmedia Virgin Media, fastest speeds but slowest customer service. It’s a massive shame, it really lets them down.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MinnieM40 Clare Hutchins (@MinnieM40) reported

    @virginmedia assuming the call I just had from 'virgin media technical' advising security issue with my router and needing me to let them access my router was a scam so now blocked number. Caller number was 0777 0345107.

  • Munchhhhh munchh #menmustchange (@Munchhhhh) reported

    @virginmedia Just seems a bit daft that i cannot do it on my local LAN in my house because the main tv is being used to play a console. I obviously dont do it often Im still only watching tv on one device. When did this change as it was never an issue before?

  • JennyKimber2 Jenny Kimber (@JennyKimber2) reported

    @virginmedia Again 21 minutes outage in BD16. Tried Virgin help numbers got cut off- now unobtainable. Tried online help chat .. diverted to an automated menu chat. Rubbish. In BD16 we are having many such outages and no-one is investigating . Do something - earn your money!

  • gemmanemana Gem 💎 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@gemmanemana) reported

    @virginmedia if you (Virgin) have been given 10 days to respond to the adjudicators on a complaint that’s lasted nearly 5 months, and you don’t respond, what is the next step for your customer to take?

  • spyhunter1983 Grouchy old man (@spyhunter1983) reported

    @virginmedia Third day in a row, internet is up and down like a yo-yo. Again no information. There are no issues on the test app. Just keeps asking me to book an engineer. If I booked an engineer every time it went down over the last 3 days I would have 23 appointments

  • resistaaance 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇵🇸 (@resistaaance) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah i called they said there was a problem with candice

  • DrogbaWestway Rostafari⭐⭐ (@DrogbaWestway) reported

    Just one day of normal broadband service is all i ask @virginmedia you tramps

  • SlyCat SlyCat (@SlyCat) reported

    @Felderpony Most ISP routers support "bridged mode" which means you use another router to do all the routers bits and all the ISP router does is authentication for the connection and passing data to the router. That's what I do with my Virgin Media connection

  • joville050887 Joville Vaz (@joville050887) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I am talking about indoors, I work at the address and I’m barely able to use my phone there. I get full 3G signal or 1 bar of 4G signal, but then everything on my phone loads so slowly, forget videos, even pictures struggle.
