  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia We have been experiencing issues with our hub. We often lose connection and then the connection is not very strong at all when connected. This has been happening for a couple of weeks. Please advise further.

  • Listuuh Ryan (@Listuuh) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone else on virgin media and the internet is down in your area

  • marcbbz Marcbbz (@marcbbz) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Third time this weekend trying to get through to the retention team. I’ve spent a total of 1hr and 37mins on hold and still not spoken with a human being. And you wonder I want to cancel my subscription.

  • baabaa89 Victoria. 🐝 (@baabaa89) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia No issues and my box has no issues after running a test, but it still loses connection regularly.

  • Listuuh Ryan (@Listuuh) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia It’s down again sort it out

  • diygolf John Pennington (@diygolf) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    @MotoNutJob @virginmedia Should be that if your provider can’t fix the problem within 24hrs you should be allowed to terminate the contract at no cost to yourself & they must give you a Uk contact number because the Bombay warriors are F..kg useless at sorting a problem

  • Laticsbiffo Graham Turner (@Laticsbiffo) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Could you confirm how to book a techie visit as I can’t actually get through to customer service. @richardbranson #shitecustomerservice #virginmedia

  • chrissy__w christina wareham (@chrissy__w) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia is there a broadband issue in OL7 area. Service running slow

  • danielpwood1 woodsa (@danielpwood1) reported from Salford, England

    @RockcliffeFiles @virginmedia Me to, my work has a high proportion of Indian colleagues who I generally rate highly but a lack of understanding of the conversation and an inability to deviate from script to provide reasonable customer service is totally unacceptable.

  • MrKarlEdgar Karl (@MrKarlEdgar) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria First time I used the box upstairs in the bedroom it wouldn't download the software , the wifi from the router is awful everything drops out, if I'm honest the service is terrible, got sold virgin at my front door hyping it up and its poo

  • beefstock3 colin paul henstock (@beefstock3) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia its been a week now and its taking the mick as i pay over £100 a month for this so called service so please sort it.

  • Laticsbiffo Graham Turner (@Laticsbiffo) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to report a filter on my tv service. Have reinitiated the call as no answer after 40 minutes. It’s disgraceful!

  • IDugdale Ian Dugdale (@IDugdale) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia Service in the M41 has been appalling for months and the local Facebook group is full of complaints, don’t see any of your customers charging @virginmedia for the inconvenience.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GaborPfalzer Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England

    @Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Oh, they did let me cancel, but I had to answer about 3 “last question”s before they proceeded 5 minute response time on chat, took me nearly two hours, after the 4 hours it took to connect an agent. We could get a contract with a credit check in 5 minutes.

  • Clairemsings Claire Malone (@Clairemsings) reported

    @virginmedia I want to pay my Dads last bill. When I spoke to a girl in Oct to cancel, I told her his phone/internet had not been working for approx 8 weeks previous to this. She said she would check it out and let me know. I didn’t hear back but just got his bill.

  • iD0RAEM0N alana (@iD0RAEM0N) reported

    @virginmedia yeah it’s down in the whole area nothing i can do but i’m still gonna be upset about it

  • g8bxc_g4ddp Richard (@g8bxc_g4ddp) reported

    @virginmedia No difference and the service status still shows TV issues in the area but not fixed to 29th December which is unacceptable length of faulty service which I pay for

  • ColinGunn1960 Colin Gunn (@ColinGunn1960) reported

    Royally screwed by @virginmedia still. Still no landline reactivated. Still no adaptor, & now they have charged us an activation fee of £35 which was NEVER discussed before the hub 3 was sent! & promised discounts not there. This is diabolical. @skytv here I come. Had enough now.

  • PeterAspinall3 Pete Aspinall (@PeterAspinall3) reported

    @virginmedia whats going on with the broadband in WN3 area? All day ive been without it! It was meant to be fixed by 11am, then 4pm now im told its tomorrow at 11am. Whats the problem?

  • timmow Tim Mower (@timmow) reported

    @virginmedia I tried calling and going through the support script - first they dont understand what packet loss is, then it shows no problems on their end and they tell me to reboot the router. And it doesnt solve the problem

  • g8bxc_g4ddp Richard (@g8bxc_g4ddp) reported

    @virginmedia Can you not see service issues on your own network ???

  • drkcmpbll RUNDMC (@drkcmpbll) reported

    @virginmedia It said there was an issue at 11am. At 4pm said it was fixed. Checked again now and it says there's an issue again being resolved at 12:25am 24/12/22. Can't have no broadband on Christmas Eve, or even worse on Christmas day. Presents depend on broadband.

    @virginmedia I wasted time on WhatsApp service too
