    @virginmedia I have to say @virginmedia are one of the worst companies to contact if you have an issue. Their message system is a joke and accounts a shambles. @skyuk is looking a better prospect!!!!

  • skearney7 Stuart Kearney (@skearney7) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia Not really. I have made arrangements to bring my account up to date and close it as I am a responsible person. However as a result of the U Switch service not working. I have paid you £150 extra for a service that I have not used. So from my point of view I am very frustrated

  • JGrenvillewood Joshua Grenville-Wood (@JGrenvillewood) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia fix your WiFi services. Can’t even get the tv to connect let alone a phone or a laptop. Terrible WiFi

  • MatildaDr Joanne Wells (@MatildaDr) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @virginmedia you used to be great, but now not so great. I lose my internet connection far more frequently now. There’s an error when I try and change my package online. I’ve phoned customer service now I have to call tomorrow as your systems are down for changing packages

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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...

  • AfroChuck87 Dan 🇪🇺 #TitanUp (@AfroChuck87) reported from Basingstoke, England

    . Why have you hung up on be after being on hold after 40 minutes. Your customer service is an absolute disgrace. You should be ashamed. @virginmedia

  • 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!

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TerryLee_uk Terry Lee (@TerryLee_uk) reported

    @virginmedia I was supposed to to receive a call back after 5 working days, that was about 2 weeks ago. I’ve had no call back and can’t use any service because I’ve been hack and logged out of my account, virgin media expect me to pay for someone else bill. I’ve had no tv or internet.

  • AndyWatson97 Andy Watson (@AndyWatson97) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and confirmation they’ve closed it ! Maybe it’s time to pass this to Offcom and let them deal as @virginmedia seem more bothered pushing @O2 SIM cards on everyone rather than fixing issues

  • TerryLee_uk Terry Lee (@TerryLee_uk) reported

    @virginmedia Absolute terrible service from virgin media, spoke to someone on the phone for over an hour about fraud on my account, virgin media let someone hack my accounts and order premium Netflix’s for months and changed all my passwords so I can’t do anything, Avoid at all cost.

  • DominicClissold Dominic Clissold (@DominicClissold) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia 5 emails to the O2 resolution team over 5 weeks and no response - do you have a service level agreement for response times at all?

  • No1_book_addict Jacqueline (@No1_book_addict) reported

    @virginmedia Can someone from Virgin media call me NOW re complaint ref- C-220825488. Got a txt msg that they will call between 12:00 - 12:30. Still waiting.

  • matdodd Mad Dog (@matdodd) reported

    @NightAtKendalls @virginmedia It's of little consolation but mine has been doing it since January, sometimes it drops out over 50 times a day. 4th engineer visit today, the fibre needs replacing back to the cabinet. Virgin media connect also doesnt work it just sends you in an endless loop confirming email.

  • Allpowersphysio Chris Tack (@Allpowersphysio) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I am trying to access my account on line and when I log in, I receive a server error. This means I cannot view any of my information (billing, etc), I cannot even use live chat to make a complaint. I am using the appropriate Virgin Media O2 ID.

  • stevespalding Steve Spalding (@stevespalding) reported

    @virginmedia which other social media platforms do you engage with? X / Twitter is a toxic cesspool that i am no longer prepared to deal with and your broadband service is beginning to become unreliable- second outage in as many weeks. I rely on your service for work.

  • IndicSocietee Adit (@IndicSocietee) reported

    Shambolic service from @virginmedia & @O2. 4 days since raising escalation CIT-A232463 over an e-sim error & I’m still stranded abroad with no mobile connectivity. Your incompetence has left me cut off in a foreign country. Even the worst service providers are outclassing you at this point.

  • TheDanRobinson Dan Robinson (@TheDanRobinson) reported

    @virginmedia So the issue is with Virgin Media's systems, then? Everything at my end seems OK, except that I can't access any web sites.
