    @virginmedia next to useless support over the last 2 days trying to explain to your technical department what packet loss is! In the 40 mins it takes, the packet loss and speed has gone back to normal.

    @virginmedia moved house today, supposed to have been reconnected but you have a problem you knew about for days. Arrive and tell me not today mate! I’ve gotta go get data from #Vodafone now. After 20 years, it’s like my wife leaving.

  • i96jms Jane (@i96jms) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia If you forgot your pin your bank would send a replacement through the post. Please arrange for a way to cancel this account that does not cause further distress.

  • Gazimoff Gareth “Gazimoff” Harmer (@Gazimoff) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia That’s right. We’d moved house and we’re hoping to keep you with us, but there’s been over a month of delays (issues with current cable). I need it for work, so I’ve been forced to cancel and organise alternatives.

  • Johnty14 John Richards (@Johnty14) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia I’m having issues with my broadband starting & stopping every 10 mins or so, packet loss too. I’m in the RG21 area but the website says no known issues!

  • SparkleEyedGirl Nicola (@SparkleEyedGirl) reported from Newbury, England

    @virginmedia I have a security issue with my router, I cannot login in or change password as somebody else is logged in. I have tried repeatedly over the last few days to contact you. We have 2 vulnerable adults in the house and need to sort this ASAP!

  • lissaburns Melissa Burns (@lissaburns) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia down in #Basingstoke RG21 - call to find out its out between 10am and 3pm due to network improvements. Surely such a significant outage he should come with prior warning - how to damage #CX ! Could have been a great #CX if communicated well...

  • draloksharma74 Alok Sharma (@draloksharma74) reported from Oakley, England

    @virginmedia we are without internet now for over a day. No text updates despite registering what can be done about such poor service

  • jim_millen Jim Millen (@jim_millen) reported from Thatcham, England

    Went to @virginmedia online support last night - ran their automated test tool & identified a problem somewhere our end. Offered to request an engineer visit...

  • annabelouisa Annabel Z (@annabelouisa) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia I’ve called 789 four times over the past two days and have been on hold for 20 minutes EACH time just to give you my PAC code 😭 talk about bad first impressions

  • amy_woodliffe amy woodliffe (@amy_woodliffe) reported from Newbury, England

    @DaddyHoggy @virginmedia This is terrible!!!

  • drewy__ Jez (@drewy__) reported from Whitchurch, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to contact via calling the number but I can’t get through as I’m a new customer wanting to join!

  • pBullox Paul Bullock (@pBullox) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia moved house today supposed to have been reconnected. You have a problem, known about for days but arrive and say not today mate! I gotta go to Vodafone now for data. After 20 years, it’s like my wife left me...

  • AndyOramEmax Andy Oram (@AndyOramEmax) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Great customer service!! NOT🤬. Returning customer and you told us it would work but doesn’t because we don’t have a face plate miss selling comes to mind!!

  • pBullox Paul Bullock (@pBullox) reported from Thatcham, England

    @virginmedia No real explanation, just he can’t do it today. I was surprised he already knew of the problem but didn’t stop his installer coming. I spoke to lots of folks today when I called, no one could give me an idea.

  • Hello_HWC The HWC (@Hello_HWC) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Slow speed Constantly dropping service Not able to connect devices, TV and computers To be fair your engineer was the best bit! The rest was an absolute shambles. It’s all in a complaint I have through on your website to the resolution team...

  • stuartwhiley1 stuart whiley (@stuartwhiley1) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Would you please give me a phone number so that I can talk to a human being about a technical problem rather than wasting my life listening to a automated telephone

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • jason84woods Jason Woods (@jason84woods) reported

    @virginmedia It may have been you that raised it actually ZR, it addressed damage to a wall and miscommunication. They have apologised for the miss communication but seemingly ignored the damaged brickwork

  • Chadders1409 Dave Chadwick (@Chadders1409) reported

    @virginmedia Then it’s not fit for purpose. 24hrs between messages could mean a conversation around customer retention could take weeks! Can I arrange a call back seeing as you’re unwilling to take my call?

  • Mickj100 Michael johnson (@Mickj100) reported

    @virginmedia how poor is the service you offer your customers I’ve been waiting over 2 hours to speak to someone on WhatsApp only to be told if you don’t like your deal then nothing we can do absolutely disgraceful

  • MWColes Matt Coles (@MWColes) reported

    @virginmedia Deal offered was significantly more than a new customer. Yet can cancel, lose her means of contacting the outside world in emergencies, then join at the new customer price after (taking potentially 30-60 days). Can somebody please see through this INSANITY and do the right thing?

  • gordonscontact Gordon Ashley-Smith (@gordonscontact) reported

    @virginmedia if you ALWAYS have exceptional high numbers of people waiting it is not EXCEPTIONAL. You are understaffed. Shocking customer service

  • Catwomanx6 Lady Linda Christie #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@Catwomanx6) reported

    @virginmedia I'm trying to cancel my contract. I was on hold 29 minutes this morning before I had to go out and I'm on hold again now. I've been with VM nine years but I'm totally fed up. Your Customer Service is nonexistent. 773780401

  • ADyspraxic A Dyspraxic Irishman (@ADyspraxic) reported

    @virginmedia No I was never sent a tracking number and I’ve been on to your support twice and they couldn’t give me a tracking number either.

  • ErichtJohn JohnBoyle (@ErichtJohn) reported

    @virginmedia you have increased my parents (95 and 96) landline only charges from £12/month to £20/month.. Frankly that is piracy, I pay less for my LL and broadband.Please DM me so that I can terminate their contract. 👍

  • gordonscontact Gordon Ashley-Smith (@gordonscontact) reported

    Appalling customer service as usual @virginmedia . The irony is not lost that I cannot communicate with my communication Co.

  • GillianBelal gillian belal (@GillianBelal) reported

    @virginmedia despicable customer service. Lied to twice and charged £40 after being told no charge will be applied. Despicable
