  • Divadi29 Dianne Wilson (@Divadi29) reported from Billingham, England

    @virginmedia i was asked to upgrade as a valued customer, since upgrading my broadband is terrible we are all using 4g at home as connection is so poor. i have done all testing as directed from comp voice on phone and link sent to mobile. i pay for 3 virgin mobiles one now has no data

  • Johnsonator85 Marc J (@Johnsonator85) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Ffs YOU try calling that number and tell me if you get through to somebody. I’ve tried god knows how many times and I just get a machine telling me you’re busy and that I “might like to call again later” every, single time. Your level of service is a joke.

  • GazzaG1 Gary Ayre (@GazzaG1) reported from Blackhall Colliery, England

    @virginmedia WiFi signal from hub3 is unreliable and I am by only in a1 bedroom bungalow, I never use the tvbox as all channels are rubbish and my mobile signal is disgraceful-virgin is worse decision i have ever made

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @NathHawkeswood @virginmedia Twitter cant help, phoning cant speak to anyone, text service in an endless loop, chat service online is also an endless loop I need to speak with line faults and they aren't even an option on the automated phone service so I'm really screwed

  • DanielHill21 Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia So why do you not have a chat system? I work in a similar industry and we are able to help our customer through chat, phone, online, social media it’s crazy a company of the size of virgin media can’t accommodate us. Not having a go at you I’m just disappointed in the system

  • RobertTamkin94 Robert-Andrew Tamkin (@RobertTamkin94) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to contact your call centre for 15 minutes and I’ve tried all the options and I can’t get through to ANYONE!! I want to cancel my contract and it doesn’t give you the option online to do so!! Can someone cancel it from your social media team?

  • DanielHill21 Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia can I have some help ASAP, in regards to an issue I’m having and I’m in a bad way

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    Not a lover of call centres and thought that they didn't really offer any customer service of any real value, then you have the likes of @virginmedia and @Hermesparcels that seem to want to upset customers. That said, credit to @NespressoUK, was blown away with your service

  • Johnsonator85 Marc J (@Johnsonator85) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia It doesn’t matter what day or what time I try to call I get the same problem!

  • Johnsonator85 Marc J (@Johnsonator85) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia who have I got to screw to get through to cancel my contract with you?

  • Divadi29 Dianne Wilson (@Divadi29) reported from Billingham, England

    @virginmedia Both, i currently have to work from home and my internet crashes all the time. i can’t get a signal in my bedroom which is the room directly above the box

  • Poddddddd Jamie Gilbey (@Poddddddd) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia can I access some support on here?

  • Johnsonator85 Marc J (@Johnsonator85) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia In the meantime I can’t do anything then so basically you’ve been no help whatsoever

  • BradleyStaunch Bradley Staunch (@BradleyStaunch) reported from Hartlepool, England

    Virgin media internet is good, EVERY SINGLE other thing about them is ******* shite. Never understand the ***** on the phone takes, 3 hours to get through, website always down, make a payment page been broke for 5 years. ******* ****

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia I rang after the email and they assured me they have applied a discount and would stay the same price for my contract. I agreed a fix price and if that's not what I got then I have been lied too, which is a miss sale and the ombudsman will be contacted, again.

  • 147mick Michael White (@147mick) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia Yes problems with wired devices as well, I have to turn the hub off then on again all the time even if I'm in the same room.

  • m_arthur1 mick arthur (@m_arthur1) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia @d754771 I’m still waiting for the call aswell I know it’s a bad time with call centres closed but come on Sunday I was told 24hrs

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia seriously, a price increase?! Only renewed my contract 2 months ago and for more than I've ever paid! Of course, no customer service available either. Ridiculous!

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🌲🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia hi, any help on a non responsive remote to vbox? It is flashing red when I press buttons bit nothing happening on box. Only started happening tonight

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Jo_The_Waiter CALUM GRAY (@Jo_The_Waiter) reported

    @virginmedia Ok I’ll see how it goes in the week then. I will say that the pod has really helped. Much better than the boosters. But I am told that upload speed is 10% of the download so will I get 50mbps once it’s all settled down?

  • BulkPaint Alex Trowers (@BulkPaint) reported

    @virginmedia The 5G WiFi doesn't work - the 2G is patchy. Wired is fine. Both worked fine previously for many years. Your tech guy tried 'turning the 5G on' but to no avail. Which is why they concluded that it must be fried and we should get a replacement. Which didn't show. Now we're here.

  • Gillyb23 Gillian burchall (@Gillyb23) reported

    @virginmedia They advised no outage in the area and if not resolved in 24hrs to call you back!!!! Am I expected to wait over an hour next time while Trying to arrange my mums funeral and look after my dad. I also asked for a new Virgin box and router as it is faulty.

  • kmontybags Kmontybags (@kmontybags) reported

    @virginmedia That would take an age to txt. Once again Virgin showing just how little they think of the customer. Appalled at it. Luckily I am in the 14 day cooling off period. You can’t sort the problem on the phone,you can’t sort it here All you have to do is phone me

  • p_swinny Phil (@p_swinny) reported

    @virginmedia you disconnected my service a month early. I got a grovelling apology this morning and told it’d be live again in 4 hours. 7 hours later still nothing. I work from home and must have internet

  • JazzElliott1 Jasmine Elliott (@JazzElliott1) reported

    @virginmedia I was told until I took out the contract I wouldn’t know the price. I am already with you and the issue is still not solved

  • Yus7 Yus Lambat (@Yus7) reported

    @virginmedia It was a new account with was set up for, but never had the movie channels. We wanted to cancel it because it was not worthj the price. Someone rang up and asked us why we wanted to cancel it. We explained why & we added extra £2.50 for the movie channels. Tday it was disconne

  • kmontybags Kmontybags (@kmontybags) reported

    @virginmedia Waste of time and effort. Awful on Phone Awful on Social Media

  • Gillyb23 Gillian burchall (@Gillyb23) reported

    @virginmedia issue not resolved... I'm sure @skybroadband can provide better customer service than Virgin are currently doing.

  • SmudgerPhil Philip Smith (@SmudgerPhil) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve gone to settings network selection, turned automatic off and manually selected Virgin!
