  • Mountain1863 Shaun Mountain (@Mountain1863) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia Not even a DM asking for contact details to discuss further @Ofcom & @CISASUK have been informed and will be supporting with furthering my complaint. Hopefully my followers will see these tweets and avoid your black Friday sales 👌👍 even if only one person avoids the #scammers

  • JuPo71 Julie Podet (@JuPo71) reported from Biddulph, England

    @virginmedia very disappointed with your level of service to an elderly disabled customer. Drafting a complaint that will be with your shortly.

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

    Me to the controller after reconnecting to @vatsim for the 5th time in one flight due to the virgin media outage.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia trying to contact you and all I keep getting is a stupid repetitive bot

  • FowldsSimon Santa Sime 🎅🏻🎄 (@FowldsSimon) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Phoenix_Murphy Spencer Murphy (@Phoenix_Murphy) reported

    @virginmedia Internet is down in our area. Call and automated message says it will be fixed by 1pm (improvement works). It’s 3:30 so hold to speak to a person. Then told “Yes that’s 1pm on 26th”. Been on hold now for 20mins just trying to make a complaint. Atrocious service.

  • LandofSize Land of Size 💙 (@LandofSize) reported

    Worst supplier of the pandemic is @virginmedia who cancelled my internet due to the person moving in having the wrong dates. Then wouldn’t change it without their permission. I’m freelance so they risked my job. It took me two hours to sort out so I had to do overtime too. Grim.

  • martynenglish2 martyn english💙 (@martynenglish2) reported

    @virginmedia Catch up not available, are you aware of any issues in area 30?

  • markbrucerevell Grobbelrevell* (@markbrucerevell) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, i'm seeing frequent issues with my broadband service, which is causing problems with my ability to work effectively from home. How can I speak with one of your team about addressing this? Whether that is via boosters, etc. Thanks.

  • LilJimophy James Collins (@LilJimophy) reported

    @virginmedia I did - twice today - and someone has just called back to inform us that Virgin have no idea what is causing this issue and are arranging for an engineer to attend my property.

  • Ste_Tonks Ste (@Ste_Tonks) reported

    @virginmedia hi I’d like to make a complaint, I’m being cold called by your org and I want to know how you have my number as I am registered with the TPS. I am being called with sales people from 0800 183 6401

  • idrewdoughnut Andrew Molodoi (@idrewdoughnut) reported

    @virginmedia You kept telling me a few times my only options for anything is to call a closed call center. How can you insist on something ridiculous like that? What can you help me with? The only useful thing you’re doing is providing a phone number to a closed call center

  • MattBarpea Matt Barker (@MattBarpea) reported

    @virginmedia It says there is a problem with TV, as is often the case when I check the service status page. But I currently don't have wifi.

  • Gary94597811 Gary Johnson (@Gary94597811) reported

    @richardbranson @virginmedia want to hire people who speak English and don't hang up on you when you yous to big of words for them to comprehend

  • Phoenix_Murphy Spencer Murphy (@Phoenix_Murphy) reported

    @virginmedia internet is down in our area. Call and the automated message says it will be back by 1pm. Stay on hold as it was 3:30pm, person on the line says “Yes that’s actually 1pm on 26th...” not acceptable. Atrocious customer service at a time when people are WFH. Disgusted.
