  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia we have been trying to arrange our virgin services to be moved to our new house since 23/11/20. We were supposed to get a call back from one of your guys yesterday to help with a self install - no joy. Since yesterday I’ve spent over 3 hours on hold, been.......1/4

  • SarahCassidy Sarah Cassidy 🐝 (@SarahCassidy) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone else who gave their details to track and trace suddenly being spammed with fake email accounts, and bombarded with phone calls from fake VirginMedia/BT claiming broadband speeds are up and down?

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia ....before going to lunch. Your system is set to terminate unanswered calls after just over an hour. This is much more enraging than having to wait in a queue. We’re British, it’s what we do. We DO NOT HANG UP on people. It is beyond rude. #rude #virginmediasuck #stillnointernet

  • HumpsSnr Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Thank you for your response. I have submitted a complaint, although I’ve no response to that either. Our internet is shocking and we’ve got a temp fix outside which needs to be made permanent from 4 wks ago. Paying a lot for nothing currently

  • HumpsSnr Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia What details do you require in any text I send?? Seems a bit odd considering you should already have my complaint and my details 🤔 we’ve established I don’t have a ref number, so further info will assist??

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia This is the exact type of poor service I received when I called customer service. The package I am currently on is £89 for a new customer, but £129 for a loyal customer. The response back was “that’s all I can do”. Your response is almost as bad “don’t like it, raise a complaint”

  • lambtiger Jamie McDonald (@lambtiger) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    Truly appalling customer service from @virginmedia. Due an engineer visit today: he’s just rung to say your call centre raised the job incorrectly and he’s not coming as they don’t carry the stock any more. No apology, no lifeline, no empathy. Shocking.

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    Hey @virginmedia On the phone to your customer service for 80 minutes in total now and counting. Been put on hold for 30 minutes of that. Losing will to live! Pound to a penny you lot cut me off in a minute......

  • m_stephens8 macauley stephens (@m_stephens8) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia is the worst for speaking to an actually person🤯 adding packages unauthorised then making the bill nearly double.. jokers

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia It’s NOT an upgrade which I made clear on the phone. Again, no mention of this being the issue.

  • magpiegirl80 Christine Thompson (@magpiegirl80) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia The hold times aren’t the issue. I’d wait happily if I got an answer at the end. The issue is being hung up on after an hour then having a call answered only to have to listen to dead air for over 30 minutes while whoever is supposed to be helping has forgotten to logout ....1/2

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Bet you anything they won’t I’m sorry to say. Never known a change in contract to take a week. Normally done there and then on the phone. The lady didn’t mention anything about this being the case. What now? I’m not waiting a week I’m afraid.

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Another issue is if I were to get a phone call in a weeks time I cannot just stop the job I do to answer it. Where will we be then? Having worked for Virgin I know exactly what’s going to happen. This won’t get sorted until my new bill gets paid for services I don’t want ....

  • JiriKPinnock J K P (@JiriKPinnock) reported from Manchester, England

    @immihepburn @virginmedia I few for you, same happened to me as well. After 40 mins on the phone , charging me £8 to call customer number, their staff put the phone down on me . TERRIBLE SERVICE

  • HumpsSnr Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    Over 3 hours and counting on the phone to @virginmedia , spoken to 5 different people and put on hold for the 6th time now. Issue yet to be resolved 🤬🤬🤬 #vpoorcustomerservice #timeforachange

  • JiriKPinnock J K P (@JiriKPinnock) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia That’s different scenario on my bill, why I’m charged to call your Customer Service line

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    @nickleeland @virginmedia I asked to speak to someone that could help and got “my supervisor is on 14 day isolation”. Ok put him on the phone as I’m guessing he can work from home? Computer says no! Poor poor service!

  • Daveyb1974 David Bryden (@Daveyb1974) reported from Urmston, England

    Great work from @virginmedia, your contract has expired, we want you to stay as a customer, we’ll give you the best deal out there! Give them a call, sorry can’t help, you’re on the best package, but we want to charge you £40 a month more than a new customer! #shitshow

  • HumpsSnr Humps Snr (@HumpsSnr) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia I don’t. When I submitted the complaint (2nd) I chose the telephone call option, using my home number. I haven’t received any call to date!!

  • DavidLaney ⚽️Lethal Brizzle⚽️ (@DavidLaney) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia Hi John. Still no resolution I’m afraid. It’s getting closer to next bill date. Which BTW I’ve received two bills for. One at £27.49 and the other £113.00 and a double bill request which is laughable! I still don’t get why the next gen box is influencing my request. Today please

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • goodolway Steve Broad (@goodolway) reported

    @virginmedia It is just odd for a large media company to have one person in the Billing department that comes onto the chat. Asked me for security and then to tell me they are going to lunch and leaving me to wait for 45 minutes to keep an eye on the chat for them to return. Really bad!

  • bazzacollins Barry Collins (@bazzacollins) reported

    @AFCGoonerPaul @virginmedia The Virgin Support line ran an automatic test on my line, decided everything was fine and booted me off the call. Brilliant.

  • Optimus_D_ OptimusD (@Optimus_D_) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently 4pm, not good enough when everything runs in your service.

  • CTRSummers Christina (@CTRSummers) reported

    @virginmedia Hi! My mum got a call from someone claiming they were from virgin media and said our Internet is being hacked. He asked her to download an app called Quick Support which she didn't as she was already suspicious of the guy. The app is fraud as it mirrors your device

  • julieecarter Julie Carter (@julieecarter) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Thanks, I had confirmed an upgrade, but was at work. When I got home and looked at handsets I charged which one I wanted. So called to alter the order. This is where the problem lay.

  • MistyStorm152 Jacqui C (@MistyStorm152) reported

    @virginmedia Thats the problem,we have tried for the last 6wks to talk to cust servs but no one answers call,last time we were on hold for ov 1hr then got cut off.We emailed various times,one is answers! As i said originally its prob a easily solved problem but no one will reply in cust ser!

  • __georgiaw georgia (@__georgiaw) reported

    @virginmedia how do I cancel my contract when I’m moving house?

  • Tamer__Morsy TAMorsy (@Tamer__Morsy) reported

    @virginmedia is this company a joke? Signed a contract on 1st Nov and chose the service to be ready on 5th Dec. On 2nd of Dec, you decided to move the installation date to 22nd. On 19th you moved it to 22nd, and today, you moved it to 19th Jan?????!!!!!

  • shantazhir shantazhir (@shantazhir) reported

    @virginmedia Placed a broadband order with you, promptly (within an hour) cancelled - after current provider, @SkyUK, offered a better deal - was told it was taken care of, and days later, see that it has not, and am on the phone again. Poor form, @virginmedia.

  • weezyc71 Claire Coffey (@weezyc71) reported

    @virginmedia no service since 2pm yesterday, same for my neighbours, your website says no issues, what's going on? Customer service no help. Sort it out please!
