  • 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

  • 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 😳😡

  • 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

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 🤬🤬

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    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

  • 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 🖕

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia I can never get to speak to someone who fully understands me because all your call centres are now sourced overseas.I need a Manager to ring me ASAP please. Not happy whatsoever how I’ve been treated it’s not acceptable to be treated with ill manners 😡

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • li4mlufc Liam Gray (@li4mlufc) reported

    @virginmedia Only 7 issues now, seems to back on at mine albeit internet still patchy and still drops out. Estimated time it’s resolved is pushed back to 3rd of March for some issues. Wife had zoom meetings and tethered from her phone and bought more internet from Vodaphone. Not good

  • Bigbirdy79 Big Bird (@Bigbirdy79) reported

    @virginmedia that is now 2 weeks with the most atrocious intermittent internet service & having to use mobile data to get any connection due to abysmal internet. Using the app to be told there is no problem. I suggest you look at the min by min data to see exactly how bad it is.

  • Chrishadden88 Christopher Hadden (@Chrishadden88) reported

    @virginmedia i will be running a story on 4th February through my page all leeds aren't we on facebook with 50k about poor customer service and failure to protect vulnerable customers. Would anyone like to comment?

  • jaffa2 Andrew Flegg (@jaffa2) reported

    @virginmedia No diagnostics shown, but test says "looks like there's still an issue" and allows for booking an engineer. Which doesn't feel like progress.

  • Neilwigg Neil Wigglesworth (He/Him) 💙 (@Neilwigg) reported from Lambeth, England

    @virginmedia My services were not the issue, your web site was the issue, I resorted to the chat function which was very slow and eventually sorted the issue I was trying to address. Sadly you don’t serve my new address

  • geordiemanc70 GeordieManc (@geordiemanc70) reported

    @virginmedia And wait six hours on a phone on top of six hours waited yesterday? No chance. If you had a modicum of customer service you'd be arranging a call back or other resolution. But I discovered yesterday your twitter team are tasked with being apologists, not customer service.

  • Chrishadden88 Christopher Hadden (@Chrishadden88) reported

    @VirginMediaCorp my page all leeds aren't we will be running a story about poor customer service to one of our members and will be sharing call recordings and emails sent from virgin media. Would you like to comment before we run the story on the 4th February.

  • alanadev Alana Devlin (@alanadev) reported

    @virginmedia I tried that this morning to be patronised by a member of the customer service team. Thanks though.

  • Candy_Baby_27 Unapologetically_Me (@Candy_Baby_27) reported

    @virginmedia experienced the worse customer service this morning been calling for last 2 weeks only to be on hold for hour + then cut off finally get through and no one can access my account. Paying for services I don’t want and that isn’t working!

  • leonspight Leon Spight (@leonspight) reported from Richmond, England

    @virginmedia Yes I have and none are reported. I received a new router and 1gb service upgrade 10 days ago. Since then the speed has been so slow.
