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

    @virginmedia appalled at the service I’m currently receiving from your customer service rep on the phone. If she calls me “m’am” one more time, I might cry. Her attitude stinks.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Had to wait on phone for 1 hour tonight to get the rudest support ever, I had to hang up on her, seriously garbage hub 3 for gaming, I need to quit @virginmedia get an internet that supports console gaming, unlike this crap.👎👎

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Be honest.. you couldn't care less if this has been sorted. No shits given for customers. Gonna have a word with Martin Lewis.. now he knows his shit..

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just asked for all calls relating to my complaint over the past two years. You said no. So now I do a complaint against you with ico. I believe you will get a fine. Sorry.

  • KevinFa34262602 Kevin Fallon (@KevinFa34262602) reported from Middleton, England

    @virginmedia hands down worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Will be leaving as soon as our contract ends 😡🤬

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Absolute lag every game every night, and it's getting worse, I tried to explain to the support lady on my PC I get 350mbps on my console I get 600mbps something not right there, it took me 1 hour to get through to support on the phone and I'm not being spoken to like that!!!

  • CarlitosGirl Gail (GiGi) Frampton (@CarlitosGirl) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia I asked Rashid to cancel for me he said he would delay. He didn't. I haven't installed or used and in no state due to a bereavement to sort this out. Even your no reply email service replied to me so I have a date. Don't think I have signed a DD agreement or the contract.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia Wired, wireless, modem, mode, ports open, dmz, upnp, open nat, every thing right, but the router he support said last night the router might be incompatible and that isn't a good sign.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia I need to quit now this is taking the pi$$, I'm not interested in your fast speeds anymore, not going to phone your support and wait for an hour to be told you don't support Xbox or any console when that is what you should be about "BROADBAND PROVIDER" it's in the title...

  • craigawilliams Craig Williams (@craigawilliams) reported from Sale, England

    @NuclearJelly @BeccaLock2 @virginmedia @SkyUK In the interest of balance. Been with them for about 15 years and never had an issue

  • Eurovisioned Alec Parkin (@Eurovisioned) reported from Manchester, England

    Two months to respond to my complaint @virginmedia. Two whole months. Still no resolution. Shameful.

  • Tankie69 Dave Frith (@Tankie69) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia No problems found tonight. Hopefully last night was a one off. 1 outage in the first 3 weeks isn’t reassuring though

  • heytc1964 Tim Coulman (@heytc1964) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia I’ve registered my issues via the complaints facility online and will need a call at some point to discuss and resolve them

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Virgin generously said if I pay nearly £150 I can leave! I declined.. although i would have the £2 offered as compensation but I think I'll spend that on half a starbucks. I'll wait till my contract is up & im free. sky from what i can gather will be gaining shit loads of peeps!

  • TinmanPG Gerry Hattrick (@TinmanPG) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been on the phone for 52 mins and have been put through to the wrong department three times! Terrible service,

  • CarlitosGirl Gail (GiGi) Frampton (@CarlitosGirl) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia It's pretty much a long story so would be better to talk. New customer on the pay nothing for 3 months deal. My dad was taken seriously ill and given a month to live. I asked to cancel in cooling off period. Emailed, tried to call. Spoke to Rashid the guy on my doorstep. Nothing.

  • shaunbentley Shaun (@shaunbentley) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No clue. Tried escalating a complaint with you about 30 times over the past 2 years and you keep ignoring me.

  • Jenny_Whitham Jenny Whitham (@Jenny_Whitham) reported from Manchester, England

    I’m stressed, I’m tired and about to have an operation. @virginmedia are pushing me over the edge with their appalling customer service and general money grabbing disgusting ways. I made my complaint over a week ago, now you’re just ***************.

  • markfrobi Mark Robinson (@markfrobi) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is abysmal. I am fed up of chatting to a robot or someone in india repeatedly asking me the same questions and getting absolutely nowhere. 3 engineer visits, many phonecalls, online chats (some not even answered) and still got nowhere.

  • peepers1970 PB80'squeen (@peepers1970) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia 40 mins waiting speak to someone re cancelling. You offer me £2 as compensation for having no tv for 8 days!!!! Seriously! Absolutely disgusting. A total sham of a company. Disgusting customer service.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Goryuk Gory 🇸🇱🇬🇧 (@Goryuk) reported

    @virginmedia is the worst internet provider in the UK smh. They lie about speeds and always have connection problems

  • Sam_J_Burgess S͎a͎m͎ ͎B͎u͎r͎g͎e͎s͎s͎ 💀 (@Sam_J_Burgess) reported

    @virginmedia when are you fixing your frankly unacceptable outage in the SG8 area? Some people need to work from home!

  • LucyLuDrake Lucia Drake (@LucyLuDrake) reported

    @virginmedia Oh looksie ... 1 am again, and your service dies again.... This is becoming far to common to be an issue to be ignored in the BS1 area .... Fix this bullshit, as it is interrupting my only method of socialising after working an evening shift!

  • jillyt1983 Jill Todd (@jillyt1983) reported

    @virginmedia who do I speak to about getting a new router? Ours is 7 years old and cuts out almost daily, awful when you're trying to work from home. Can't get through to speak to anyone in person to sort it properly without just resetting it

  • clarkjames70 James Clark (@clarkjames70) reported

    @virginmedia You’ve installed the kit. The problem is your installation was so poorly designed, rainwater is running through the trench you dug, and the cable pipe, and eroding the ground where you drilled through my perimeter wall. It’s all been reported as a complaint in March

  • Undead_Roach SelinaAnne (@Undead_Roach) reported

    I also find it convenient that the issues always happen AFTER midnight when the phone lines are closed 🤔 @virginmedia #virginmedia #nointernet #again

  • MrBlitzed Glen Arnold 🇬🇧🇬🇷🎹🎶🎵 (@MrBlitzed) reported

    @Undead_Roach @virginmedia @EE Hear hear! I'm on a 'supposed' 350 contract, but nine times out of ten my EE data leaves the Virgin service for dead! Oh, and my service is currently down too...

  • FPSLimits Limitz (@FPSLimits) reported

    @David_W11 @virginmedia they won’t be able to do anything mate, basically once you’ve set up your package there is no way to switch to a new customer deal, also they will charge you an additional £35 activation fee for your tv now if you decide to get it, goodluck lol

  • AntC27 Anthony Collett (@AntC27) reported

    @virginmedia I think I need to call Sky back, this is awful

  • NeverTory Never Ending Tory (@NeverTory) reported

    @virginmedia internet been down since last night, now you're telling me I have to book an engineer that can't come till 29th of July? Why am I with you again?
