  • EnticknapHolly Holly, like the tree (@EnticknapHolly) reported from Skelton and Brotton, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria I was told it would be delivered today. I got the yodel app, which has informed me its tomorrow. Not good, when I actually called up Virgin to cancel my contract. Its not the best way to keep a customer whose on the edge of leaving you.

  • DannyTaylorDT Danny Taylor (@DannyTaylorDT) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    After winning 37/37 in the Newcastle #ePL across the groups and the playoffs, I lose in the semi finals and won’t be at the grand final. Hard to describe the conditions I’ve just had to play in due to EA’s issue with Virgin Media, but this really has broken me

  • luis70105 Cj . (@luis70105) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    Spend a fortune every month for @virginmedia tv and sky, BT sport and guess what somebody has sold most the games in December to amazon prime , absolutely disgraceful , thanks @virginmedia one unhappy customer. Leaving in the morning , you can count on it. What am I paying for!

  • Digital_Den15 Den Butler (@Digital_Den15) reported from Egglescliffe, England

    @virginmedia Except if your an existing customer, then it's still £68 a month.

  • jimmyhadman James Hadman (@jimmyhadman) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @tescomobile hi guys, really unhappy with service earlier today - exchanges @Tesco Clubcard vouchers to use towards a new Phone for my son, but now I’ve been told I can’t use the vouchers towards a purchase, only deduct from my own bill. @virginmedia here I come!

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

  • JoBooth10 Jo Booth (@JoBooth10) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @markeltringham @JimGardnerSNCLP @virginmedia @SteveDustyD He knows he's shit 😂

  • nickeyley Eee-lee (@nickeyley) reported from Billingham, England

    @virginmedia You can't even get my name right. It literally says it on my account. Absolutely basic customer service and you can't even do that properly. Shit company with shit service and useless customer support.

  • DannyTaylorDT Danny Taylor (@DannyTaylorDT) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @DrussSkilgannon Don’t know mate I didn’t play after what happened in the qualifier. It’s a problem between EA and Virgin Media apparently

  • Spock_Thornaby Spock Thornaby🖖 (@Spock_Thornaby) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @JustJanety @virginmedia They have been simply rude and unpleasant. We have been good loyal customers since NTL. We are off now. Disgusted,

  • HasteukS Sara (@HasteukS) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @slimbob12 @virginmedia i know how you feel! I’ve been waiting for over hour and a half!!Appalling service!

  • ha66ie Paul Haggie (@ha66ie) reported from Yarm, England

    @virginmedia you really need more staff. I cannot get through to your retention team. I have wasted hours over different days. God awful waiting times. No updates whatsoever.

  • theJamesWillson James Willson (@theJamesWillson) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia ...just received a letter from VM saying there is nothing they can do re the Virgin TV Go app not working...and here's me thinking it was part of my deal🤔

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

    @virginmedia It’s not internet related. If it was the all my other devices would have an issue. Tried on numerous occasions to reset the router but it hasn’t fixed the problem. It’s going to need an engineer.

  • adam_mcclelland Adam McClelland (@adam_mcclelland) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    Hazel from customer relations at @virginmedia. Rude. Obstructive and defensive! Scare mongering into staying with Virgin! Glad I called instead of my 78yr old grandfather!

  • Spock_Thornaby Spock Thornaby🖖 (@Spock_Thornaby) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @JustJanety @virginmedia I’m gong to cancel them st home and with family for the rubbish attitude.

  • wicks_michael Michael Wicks (@wicks_michael) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Yeh had to call customer support not amused no TV, Phone or Broadband in our area. Engineer on route 😡

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ArchiBarac Matthew Barac (@ArchiBarac) reported

    @edward_baran @virginmedia Why is the service in @virginmedia so consistently unreliable yet they continue to upsell their products and put up prices? Why does it cost more today for them to provide a worse service than ten years ago? Time to reward customers with a rebate (or at least an apology)

  • ToxicVenomTTV ToxicVenomTTV (@ToxicVenomTTV) reported

    @virginmedia It’s my upload speed! I’m a streamer you need to fix this

  • amybishopxo Amy Bishop (@amybishopxo) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi has dropped out every few minutes for the last 36 hours. The check service website is down so unable to see if there’s an issue in the area. Do you know if this will be rectified soon as very frustrating

  • CJ60349366 CJ (@CJ60349366) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, we have on many occasions, but we’re very unhelpful and rude.

  • YorkshirePad Pad (@YorkshirePad) reported

    It's 2023 and my film is pausing every 40 seconds. Seriously, @virginmedia, if you can't provide a decent wi-fi service as part of your massively overpriced broadband packages then **** off out of the industry and make room for someone who can. Jokers.

  • MrAlanJR Alan (@MrAlanJR) reported

    @virginmedia Please don’t ask me to message you, I’ve been having intermittent internet issues now@for over a month. Why do you online checks say everything is fine but when I talk to your advisors they say the issue has been going on in the area since the start of Sept and…

  • MaryNT16 Mary N-T (@MaryNT16) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service agent repeatedly assured me the problem will be fixed today. I said such reassurances were useless given the track record since Wednesday. It does nothing to manage customer expectations and increases frustration. @LutzSchueler

  • Lin2911 Linda Officer (@Lin2911) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I’ve called and been told that the service has already been upgraded to 1gb even though the hub 5 hasn’t been sent out yet. This means my existing hub 3 isn’t compatible so is no longer working. I’ve once again been told there is nothing they can do!

  • RayGriff1981 Raymond Griffiths (@RayGriff1981) reported

    @virginmedia If it's the same WhatsApp number I've been on it's all automated and no help at all. I'll try this in a moment and see if it's the same one

  • Kokori Katja Obring (@Kokori) reported

    @virginmedia amazing. 5 hours on hold in WhatsApp. No closer to resolution of my issue. I have no words. Worst.Customer.Service.Ever. #worstcustomerservice #completejoke
