  • andy_dickerson Andrew Dickerson (@andy_dickerson) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Anyone know what on earth is going on with @virginmedia ATM last 2 days connections been up and down like a god knows what ?

  • DeanCondliffe dean condliffe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@DeanCondliffe) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia you know when a customer makes a complaint (twice) and you say that the customer will receive a phone call within 24-48hrs. Is this true or do you just make it up as you go along? Thanks.

  • RichardGannon23 Richard Gannon (@RichardGannon23) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia my broadband and TV services seem to be down again since 5am

  • IXL Ian Fraser (@IXL) reported from Keele, England

    Dear @virginmedia. I’d like to cancel my account. I’ve called 4 times this afternoon, put on hold for ages and been disconnected each time. Why are you making it so hard?

  • J9PVFC J9PVFC (@J9PVFC) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia recently downgraded my broadband package, but my Volt package hasn’t been reapplied to my account. Can you help as O2 show it’s active, but no options on your help site that direct me to someone to fix.

  • gingerjames1990 James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia It's awful! I'm sick of calling customer services and getting through to someone who cannot understand basic English language and goes on talking about something else. Then try to speak to three different advisers to raise a simple issue/complaint and they refuse!

  • LesleyA14768590 Lesley Arnold (@LesleyA14768590) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Ok so vigin tv is down and with error code they say ring 150, fine ring 150 as they cant tell us on line the problem but they then say ' right now we are busy, you might like to call us later......goodbye! Thanks a bunch @virginmedia, customer service not good at all

  • gingerjames1990 James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia It is awful! Virgin are very expensive compared to many other TV providers yet the customer service is very poor and does NOT suite the price. I'm sick of arguing with them to get the simplest of issues resolved

  • DeanCondliffe dean condliffe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@DeanCondliffe) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia John, please check my file. I’ve called several times, to be told somebody will contact you regarding your complaint. I ask to speak to a manger I’m told, none available. Appreciate this is not your fault buts it’s an utter **** show. I’ll let @Ofcom take the lead from here.

  • gingerjames1990 James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Again have you read anything iv said????? THREE CALLS to your customer services and all connected to off shore people who have either not got a clue what a complaint is or refused to log one for me! Instead of repeating yourself sort it out! @Ofcom #poorcustomerservice

  • ChrisLaws1 Chris Laws (@ChrisLaws1) reported from Cheadle, England

    @virginmedia please sort your service out... I have now been on the phone to you for almost an hour. The first person hung up on me, the second was rude and useless. All for £0.01 which I don't owe. No wonder the landlords are removing virgin from all of the apartments

  • gingerjames1990 James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @reddersmufc @Ofcom @virginmedia Virgin Media have gone down massively! The amount they charge doesn't represent the customer experience at all!

  • timothyray Tim Ray (@timothyray) reported from Tean, England

    @Cassetteboy @virginmedia Imagine being that crap a company that you don't realise the damage you do to @virginmedia's reputation when you piss off someone with 77k Twitter followers.

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

    Why doesnt moto 2 never record @virginmedia it always record moto3 twice explain

  • AndyType2 Andy (@AndyType2) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia Wanted to thank the lady that helped me today. The call ended and it was not me, and I really wanted to thank her. Hopefully you will pass it on, she hung on to the bitter death to help.

  • dazholdcroft1 Daz (Oaky) Holdcroft (@dazholdcroft1) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @TerryBossons @virginmedia Since Covid no body answers phones any more crazy, shocking though that is @TerryBossons really bad costumer service and lack of information I had this with Sky very similar 2 very poor service providers with little thought of what’s going on in todays climate

  • Faeeeriee Kerys🐝🇺🇦🙏🏻 (@Faeeeriee) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Think Virgin Media just **** the bed. What’s happened?

  • andy_dickerson Andrew Dickerson (@andy_dickerson) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes I did and Tuesdays fault was shown and yesterday's wasn't so how about you provide the service I pay for. If this continues I will begin getting quotes from other service providers as I am fed up of dealing with bots and spammers claiming to be from you.

  • MattHugheslives Matthew Hughes (@MattHugheslives) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    So @virginmedia is increasing their prices by £8.50 pm. Wouldn't mind so much if they had decent service, eifi that doesn't cut out when i go upstairs, Sky Atlantic etc. Would go with @SkyUK but their wifi doesn't like bloody copper pipes.

  • gingerjames1990 James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Sorry are you not reading what I am saying? Three calls in the past 90 minutes and still they either don't understand what I'm saying or refuse to take a complaint!

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Polly_Gall Mrs G 🍃 (@Polly_Gall) reported

    @virginmedia And for a media company, the lack of connection between your systems is shocking. I’ve made a complaint via your website yet I’ve been asked several times via text and on social media what my complaint was about. I don’t have time to keep explaining it! Please just call me!

  • _shoaib_nasir Shoaib Nasir (@_shoaib_nasir) reported

    @virginmedia Nope it was one you agreed yourselves because you charged me an early disconnection charge when you shouldn’t have. It was someone so easy to fix yet you’ve made it so complicated. @LutzSchueler are you not the type of CEO that speaks to customers?

  • GeeDubSevenNine GeeDub (@GeeDubSevenNine) reported

    @virginmedia New hub was tried ages ago. We had issues with it and my wife contacted Virgin about it. We were told to unplug it and just use the old one. Old hub has been okay but not perfect. Just recently it's been a bit more inconsistent with the speeds and not as reliable

  • DriscollCj C Driscoll (@DriscollCj) reported

    @virginmedia I received a text message asking me to call for an update on my complaint. It said that my call would be prioritised. I have rung the number and it is the standard Virgin Media number with no option for complaints. I have waited for 25 minutes with no answer. Please help me.

  • IanAHughes Ian Hughes (@IanAHughes) reported

    @virginmedia Obviously customer retention is of no interest to you then then if the deal I was offered is the best.

  • guydorrell1 Guy Dorrell (@guydorrell1) reported

    @virginmedia That’s really not good enough EC, don’t have time. This happens multiple times every week, sometimes it’s just fluctuating, others down for hours or even days. The issue is the local box on our street, for the love of god pls send an engineer. Fix it. We’re being robbed😬😡

  • GeeDubSevenNine GeeDub (@GeeDubSevenNine) reported

    @virginmedia We got sent a new hub and it never worked. So believe we still have the older one.

  • JackHickey96 Jack Hickey (@JackHickey96) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for getting back to me. She does have a virgin media account, which she can access with no issue, it’s just the mailbox which she can’t access.

  • _shoaib_nasir Shoaib Nasir (@_shoaib_nasir) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia why would I need to raise another complaint? Surely the answer is someone with common sense looking through my account and doing the right thing? Your response shows just how out of touch you are.

  • nichola_daly Nichola Daly MIH (@nichola_daly) reported

    Honestly @virginmedia must be the worst ever. Their twitter wont give customer service email address, which their online advised they would send me (after 3 hours), they reply to a complaint email (with DNR email) asking me to call them to get the email address. WTA! People work!
