    @virginmedia Shocking customer service. Renewed my contract last week , received a loyalty discount, and now received a email with the contract showing full price in excess of £100! 20 plus years of loyalty! #ridiculous #loyalty

  • MsBethTaylor Beth Taylor (@MsBethTaylor) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I can’t get hold of anyone to talk to on the phone or online about the broadband signal strength in my flat. Can you help?

  • MsBethTaylor Beth Taylor (@MsBethTaylor) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia It’s the same. I live in a small flat and when I go into the bedroom, the signal drops significantly. Surely it should reach the whole flat!

  • bedders221 Mark Bedford (@bedders221) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    Why is your internet not working after 8pm every night this week ? @virginmedia (SK3 9NJ)

  • MarkClifford86 Mark Clifford (@MarkClifford86) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia hi, internet has been down for about 20mins now. Flashing green light on router. Run the test on website, turned off and on. Can you help please, as I’m trying to work from home.

  • Dr_Whatson Bob Watson 3.5% 🇪🇺 (@Dr_Whatson) reported from Sale, England

    What the hell going on @virginmedia? My broadband has been going up and down like a yoyo for the past four days. This morning has been especially bad!

  • AdnanHussainuk Adnan Hussain (عدنان حسين) (@AdnanHussainuk) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia You gave me options of which I've already exploited. I really appreciate the reply, but surely the service has to improve.

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported from Oldham, England

    Hey @virginmedia Is this one of your accounts? It looks very suspicious to me as they're wanting my card details to verify I am who I am and I know you never request these details. 👇 @VirginHeIp

  • bigdrwes Wesley Tensel (@bigdrwes) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia anyone working today to help with a query?

    The internet has gone again. I swear @virginmedia is down more than it's up!. It went at this time on Friday for 30 mins. Today the website shows a fault in the area. ETR 5PM!

  • CatherineR0bb0 Catherine Robinson (@CatherineR0bb0) reported from Leigh, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia my internet keeps turning off and has been for 2 days now. It’s been rebooted and is still doing the same thing. Online checking status says there’s not an issue- there definitely is an issue WN7 postcode

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported from Oldham, England

    Internet is back down again. @virginmedia What on earth is going on? The same thing happened on Friday and now again today, twice!

  • Gibzen Louis Gibson (@Gibzen) reported from Oldham, England

    The worst thing I’ve ever bought is @virginmedia internet.

  • bigdrwes Wesley Tensel (@bigdrwes) reported from Leigh, England

    Another outage with @virginmedia - I’ve been told as a contingency you would be able to send me a dongle as I have to work remotely at times for my #NHS work. Can someone assist with this please and unable to get through on the phone

  • RHJOfficial яєαℓιѕт נανѕтαн 💻🖱 (@RHJOfficial) reported from Oldham, England

    No WiFi either. Oh, Virgin Media. 😩 At least the engineer is outside working on a fix. Chaotic Monday!

  • BAWSE10 A.Y (@BAWSE10) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia disgraceful- I am working from home and with no notice you are carrying out maintenance- because of you I have lost a day worth of money from work as no access to internet- disgusting company and have been poor since covid - bad customer service!

  • RockPrincess26 Chelle Walmsley (@RockPrincess26) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia what is going on. Why has my WiFi gone again. The last time it did this it was down the whole day. GET IT SORTED.

  • higgin25 dan higgin (@higgin25) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia why is your internet always going off? Also the worst device I’ve come across. Can’t wait to move

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • tj09195531 tj (@tj09195531) reported

    @virginmedia I beg customers not to use Virgin if you want a reliable service

  • Hung555 Jenny (@Hung555) reported

    @virginmedia Service Status Checker shows 'No known Issues'... Virgin Engineer he said that could be wrong. As evidenced with the issues seen by 4 flats. Hence why we had service visits booked. Now they have all been delayed. This is not acceptable. Virgin have just delayed fixing our issues

  • Chakradan SUJIT KUMAR DAS (@Chakradan) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia Hi, I ended the virgin contract and need to return the Equipments so I updated the pick up address but still getting communications Relating my previous address regarding returns and sent a bill of £40., could you please get a solution?

  • TheGavinBradley Gavin Bradley (@TheGavinBradley) reported

    @virginmedia Hi guys, can you tell me how I can get some WiFi Pod boosters? My WiFi is only giving us 20Mbps rather than 600, but via chat I've been told the only solution is to get some boosters (though it seems like a router problem to me!)

  • Lauren_clarke88 Lauren 🌹 (@Lauren_clarke88) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, No I havent changed my preferences. I would hope me saying 7 times via online chat and on the phone directly that I do not want to take the service to my new address would be enough. Like how many times do I need to say it before Im taken seriously?

  • tj09195531 tj (@tj09195531) reported

    @virginmedia if you have an unexpected outage, how can you say with precision when this can be repaired. Thank you Alex down in Plymouth for exposing these lies from the VM call centre. However by 7.7 at 3pm is not good enough for me

  • eddypassey eddy passey (@eddypassey) reported

    @virginmedia That I need 3 WiFi pods and there is a speed fault which he can’t fix You only supply 1 pod every 7 days and it takes an hour of my life to get it sorted in your ineffective customer service phone system (use sales number for shortcut to at gets answered!)

  • TheBigOBowski Owen G. Bevan (@TheBigOBowski) reported

    @virginmedia The same reason I've been getting for 3 weeks somebody's failure to disconnect the previous service over and over and over again... ZERO accountability, ZERO compensation. I've been forced to go in to my office because I work from home. It's either that or lose a day's work.

  • earlyyearsbec Rebecca Bristow (@earlyyearsbec) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, they called twice and I have no issues as far as I’m aware but it was a very bad line and seemed weird.

  • tj09195531 tj (@tj09195531) reported

    @virginmedia #advertisingstandards please ask VM to take down the words reliable while advertising their services with main sporting events. They are not. How do your rate reliable. I think 7 days without service is shameful and not reliable
