  • rachsclarke rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia You realise we’ve already missed 35 minutes of this 90 minute match? Are you going to be refunding customers due to your inconsistent service

  • Jim_Gardner_ Jim Gardner 🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@Jim_Gardner_) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @SimonMarksFSN Ironically it's the only streaming service of the latest to launch I considered subscribing to here in the UK because CNN removed itself from Sky and Virgin Media when Warner announced its own streaming platform. I hope it now comes back, although it never left LG's WebOS IPTV.

    Hey @virginmedia what's your support email address in the UK? Your website is absolutely useless in that regard

  • rachsclarke rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Thanks, do you have an ETA of when you’re issue will be resolved? Many of us could of purchased this game with a different streaming service if we knew you would be having the same issues with red button as per usual

  • stelambert1977 steven lambert (@stelambert1977) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia why is the red button not working tonight for sky sports?

  • rachsclarke rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm your sky sports red button will be working tonight for the Boro match as there is always problems with it, as if it’s not I’ll purchase the match with a different provider instead. Plenty of notice here for an 19:45 kick off

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Yes. I’ve been quite I’ll for some time and my finances are a bit of a mess after an account hack that is still being sorted out. I don’t know how much more I can take,stuck in house with nothing and been on chat for over an hour with little reply from anyone human please help

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Having a hard time maintaining why I’ve remained so loyal. I’ve been going through a little bad time and ask for help as you publicise only to be treat like a third class citizen. Not happy my problem needs sorting today

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia My services are suspended. I am housebound,no tv no internet. I only ask for an extension to further my services for one week but company rules and non-existent customer service is really upsetting me. I’ve been a loyal customer and feel betrayed

  • stelambert1977 steven lambert (@stelambert1977) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    When will the channels issue be fixed? @virginmedia #virginmedia

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • pdonduncan Peter D-D (@pdonduncan) reported

    @virginmedia VM has closed it down and the Service Status is showing no issues! VM is doing its best to ignore the issue and me. I have tried to speak to someone senior but they are innaccessible. They just hide behind people who don't have a clue what is going on.

  • Djfoldy69 🎭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿not-so essential worker (@Djfoldy69) reported

    @virginmedia Just wanted some info on WiFi boosters or pods. As I dont seem to get a good signal upstairs in my house. How do I go about getting 1 and are they provided or paid for?

  • BeccyJ1988 Beccy Jones (@BeccyJ1988) reported

    @virginmedia I have been over charged since April last year, I call every month and you apologise, say you will get it sorted and nothing happens. The next month rolls around and the same thing happens. I don’t have the time to call each month attempting to fix your mistake!

  • pdonduncan Peter D-D (@pdonduncan) reported

    @virginmedia I have asked for the case to be escalated several times. Just keep getting fobbed off. Totally unacceptable. I have been a loyal customer for 28 years and get treated like something off the bottom of a shoe.

  • pdonduncan Peter D-D (@pdonduncan) reported

    @virginmedia Oh, yes I have submitted a formal complaint all right! VM tried to cancel it after just one day without doing anything to fix the problem. What a joke and an insult!

  • steven_Horny Steven 'Horny' Horn (@steven_Horny) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I need help signing in to VirginGo app. can you get someone to DM me to solve this please. every other way of contacting for help has been a fail. thanks.

  • thedelboy Derek Turpin (@thedelboy) reported

    Screaming laughter, as well as the damn wasters take the "P" making it difficult to get any problems sorted ! Deliberate obstruction trying to keep you on the phone by being idiots! A Disgrace and Virgin Media should disassociate from Virgin Mobile as they will lose Customer's

  • thedelboy Derek Turpin (@thedelboy) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmobileuk Virgin Media = Good Customer Service and very helpful Virgin Mobile= the most unprofessional Rude Customer service ever ! Such a waste of time and Money, you don't get decent Service and try talking to CS when in the background there's maniacal

  • molly_mogg MollyBlewerMUA (@molly_mogg) reported

    @virginmedia @MasonKnightUK should have been paying you the wifi bill from our rent so im trying to get this sorted as they are not replying to me and this has had a detrimental impact on my credit score despite never having an account with you guys
