Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia I also don’t need to monitor the quality of my broadband, I already know it’s awful. I don’t understand how that would help.
-
Daniel McDermott (@dantheman8t5) reported from Dukinfield, England@virginmedia any idea when the outage will be sorted? I have work to do today
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia I have phoned you at least 10 times this week. I’ve had a visit from a technician. My Wi-Fi still doesn’t work. I rang up AGAIN in the last half an hour, after waiting for 30 mins to speak to someone, they said they had ‘system issues’ and hung up on me. (1/3)
-
Alec Holloway (@HollowayAlec) reported from Stretford, England@virginmedia is unbelievable that our Internet is so poor, trying to contact someone via phone on numerous occasions waiting for over 45 minutes to speak with someone. Still haven't been able to get through to anyone.

UtilitaRian 🔶 (@SoloUtilitaRian) reported from Bolton, EnglandWith the intro of new dedicated Gigabit lines in my street I can't wait to switch over and leave Virgin Media for good. 3x internet has gone down this week and I just called VM. The systems there are down and gotta call back in 3hrs..... useless
-

-
Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G
-
Richard Ashton 💙🇺🇦 (@Rik_Ashton) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England@SkyUK My Sky package is slowly edging up. Some new customer deals from a couple of years ago have worsened discounts but... I'm still around £30 a month better off than when I was with Virgin Media. Never going back.
-
Daniel McDermott (@dantheman8t5) reported from Dukinfield, England@virginmedia Not as yet. Just that my postcode seems to be affected when checking service status
-
jimmy (@jimmysteamboat) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Can you confirm if service is down in the M4 Manchester postcode? Us and Neighbours wifi not working when we are WFH!
-
Hannah Tompkins (@he_tompkins) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Hi there, I was told I would receive my replacement broadband by today and still no indication of when it’s going to arrive. Any help?
-
Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, EnglandEvery time speak to @virginmedia @Virgin customer service I die a little bit inside #emogirl
-
Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, EnglandTell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?
-
Smyth Harper 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia I’ve just connected a new router for faster speeds and it isn’t working. I’ve called up and your customer services person who told me contradictory information, put me on hold and then hung up on me.
-
Adam🍺 (@MCR_ADM) reported from Stockport, England@virginmedia No they’re helping. But it’s VERYYYY slow. But almost there.
-
🐝Louise🐝 (@louaze) reported from Manchester, EnglandSkysports app with virginmedia login hasn't been working today so having to old school "watch" via live updates here. HORRIBLE way to sit thru that 8mins!!
-
Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Don't give me your copy and pasted waffle. You have done nothing to help. You have been an absolute thorn in my side! "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.

GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡
Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Connor (@ConnorH_20) reported@virginmedia Intermittent signal in your area for days now. Keep disconnecting and connecting, and extremely laggy. Awful Broadband.
-
Andrea (@Gertrudemo81) reported@virginmedia Hi. We are having broadband issues in our area. It says fixed date 17th April. Surely that can’t be right? A week away to fix it??
-
Phil (@philbreadin) reported@virginmedia how come my bill has jumped from £55 to £72 mid contract? I understand it's April and a small price increase is expected but £17 is taking the mick. With the issues I've had lately @sky is looking more tempting.
-
Gary T (@Gaztaz1) reported@virginmedia just to let you know your customer support is crap, 14 days I will be without broadband, caused by some other company digging the road up. The phone calls and emails to get a date has been a joke, then they didnt turn up. Absolute shower of shite
-
salmo (@Gary1165) reported@virginmedia @El_Lloydie I would just cancel as they are failing in there contractural obligations
-
Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported@virginmedia an outage in my area since Tuesday. There is supposed to be a means to register for compensation for loss of service, but the website doesn't contain any buttons to do so - are you making it difficult on purpose noting "if you do not register you don't qualify"?
-
Lynne Marshall (@benalblogger) reported@virginmedia no internet for 2 days. Virgin call handler tells me she will make appointment for tomorrow afternoon. Nothing showing on my app. She says nothing wrong with Virgin internet. System shows problem. No appointment showing on my app. Cancelling priority
-
roach!! 🧀 INDONESIA IN 4 MONTHS!!! (@LORDCANTl) reported@virginmedia hey. can you explain why our virgin tv suddenly decided to become "cogeco" and insist we're in canada when we very much live in the uk and have never been to canada? we cannot access any streaming services.
-
Clive (@clive503) reported@dvoradikal @virginmedia When I left this appalling company, I had so many calls I started calling them out for harassment! If they'd shown that much interest when I complained about intermittent broadband, I might have stayed! So glad I didn't thought! Better service, cheaper price!
-
DonegalDúnedain 🇮🇪 (@DonegalDunedain) reported@moefitzpatrick I was expecting less support tbh, but the anomaly that is FFG 90 year old voters whose only source of info is Virgin Media and RTÉ will always upset perceived public opinion.
