  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOW awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • markroberts0007 Mark Roberts (@markroberts0007) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia hi there, we’ve had internet issues since we went to sleep last night. We live in m30. There is a flashing green light on the box, I’ve been on your website to try and reset the box etc. Have you any idea what’s going on?

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Told yesterday that it is a local problem due to be resolved by 12th August, however that seems to be a standard reply which is now becoming tiresome. We have to wonder if @virginmedia have fallen back in the hi tech department & that we should move on to a more reliable provider

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

    @virginmedia when your marketing team ring you and tell you that you have internet issues, advised I didn’t have any issues and the rude call handler just hung up. Rang from 01484313420. Not the best reflection for the company is it.

  • AlexxTheTiger Alexx 🏳️‍🌈 (@AlexxTheTiger) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Not really, I checked your system on my virgin media page and it reports no problems on the area, I already restarted and rested my modem, more then once time

  • AlexxTheTiger Alexx 🏳️‍🌈 (@AlexxTheTiger) reported from Stockport, England

    I never been so mistreated by @virginmedia like I was today, the staff on the live chat literally "hang up" on me mid support... absolutely gutted, saved all the conversation and I will seek citizens advice over this, that is no way of treating a 6+ years costumer

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOWHelpTeam awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • DaveGarside Dave Garside❤️🇾🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️⛳️🎸 (@DaveGarside) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Yes there are and there were all 3 times. Currently 4.00pm estimated to be fixed but that’s my Saturday pretty much gone without any service

  • john_taxi ☺johnshere (@john_taxi) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia We spend over £150 per month...We need help with our Virgin mobile account...The guy in India doesn't seem to understand

  • GregBarnes2 (((Greg Barnes))) (@GregBarnes2) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia Once again my sim card isn’t working. Please don’t ask me to call the service centre, I’ve tried and haven’t got that long to live. Happy to email you details if you give me an address.

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia told by them today that problems with “catch up” service not something that was paid for so in effect had to put up with the poor performance, in the end offered a tenner! Perhaps there is a better solution, ie get rid of them & get someone who cares 🖕

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    So many problems @virginmedia this year, poor system, poor WiFI, poor connections, poor customer service, all seem to be continually getting worse as does the response to complaints. Anyone else putting up with this poor quality? @skytv looking a clear future prospect

  • AlexxTheTiger Alexx 🏳️‍🌈 (@AlexxTheTiger) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia But that costumer service was abysmal, the person took ages to reply, and when it did, tried to sell me the same internet package I have for more than what I pay currently even...I don't want to have to upgrade my package to "fix" my internet, I just want the speeds I hired

  • neyo Steve Day (@neyo) reported from Manchester, England

    @Netflixhelps I haven’t but I’ve streamed it via Virgin Media and EE’s mobile network, so it feels it’s not likely to be that? Can you or someone on the team try streaming it on iOS and letting me know if it works?

  • leehow2 Lee Howarth (@leehow2) reported from Urmston, England

    @NOWTV awful service from you! You've messed me about for two weeks getting an engineer out to my #broadband and you still can't come for another 2 weeks despite the fact I'm a critical worker with no connection #cancelled and gone back to @virginmedia #usless

  • SarahBeePhotos Sarah Bee Photography (@SarahBeePhotos) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia Terrible as always, you cannot deliver in this area, you’ve promised for a few years now but nothing changes, I’ve had to put us on unlimited data on the phones as the WiFi is not fit for purpose, I am on the highest speed apparently… shocking

  • SiManM20 Simon Manning (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone else on @virginmedia getting that weekly thing when their internet collapses again on a Sunday night? I’ve asked them repeatedly and they deny it but it’s a weekly outage like clockwork #VMSundayOutage

  • levylass Moira McLoughlin 💙 (@levylass) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia seriously getting fed up with your service why do I have to sit on top of a box connected to TV to get any internet when working at home & office on 2nd floor ?? Rung 3 times same old guff pull the plug out 🤬🤬

  • rickcharlesuk Rick Charles Media Services (@rickcharlesuk) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @virginmedia fastest bb worst ping 💪🏻

  • NellyOcker Neil Cocker (@NellyOcker) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia so much for Virgin Media to ring me yesterday Friday 6th Aug over three complaints. Phone call from Customer Services never came to fruition .. Not a happy chappie 😳😡

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 0osScreamo0 Sarah (@0osScreamo0) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi down. The "check area" page says there are no local issues but when I run a test it says there are local connection issues. Bl5. Any idea if this is being looked into?

  • mjtolhurst Max James Tolhurst (@mjtolhurst) reported

    How am I still waiting for @virginmedia to sort out my connection to my new home when they have admitted they caused the problem in the first place?? Cannot be passed through to another department - surely there is a limit to how many times you can be transferred!?

  • rooconroy Roo🌈💙💖👨‍👩‍👧‍👧😻🐶🦋🐛🐞🐝🌺🌻 (@rooconroy) reported

    Why @virginmedia are you charging me a cancellation fee over £90 when it's you that can't provide your service in my new house!!!!!!!

  • Saul_Grist Saul Grist (@Saul_Grist) reported

    It would be great if I could speak to someone in your technical support team who actually is skilled enough to deal with my issue and not read from a script @virginmedia

  • Bousfield2Tom Tom Bousfield (@Bousfield2Tom) reported

    @virginmedia I have the matix package. I didnt even realise how you did channels that werent HD. How many days do i have to cancel please as i cant carry on watching channels like this. I have checked other channels and they work fine so must be because not HD

  • paulmclarke79 Greenway Landscaping (@paulmclarke79) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I can login to the app fine but cant login to TV go Says suspended

  • S_t_e_v_e_P_ Steve (@S_t_e_v_e_P_) reported

    @virginmedia Having just spoken to the disconnections team, I now understand why VirginMedia hasn’t bothered to fix my email problem- apparently it’s not part of the “contract” and thus you’re under no obligation to provide the service!

  • donnykebab1972 Kieron Griffin (@donnykebab1972) reported

    @virginmedia Again, I am using it as a record of how rubbish the service has been.

  • mickyginn make Bobby Moore a Sir ⚒ (@mickyginn) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for responding but that is very poor by Virginmedia, shocking customer service

  • thetrainfiasco Jonny (@thetrainfiasco) reported

    @virginmedia is there an outage in dun Laoghaire/Glenageary? Our modem has been offline for an hour now. Only just reconnected but everything says no internet
