  • Psycho_Deadman Il Mentore (-Psycho-) Deadman (@Psycho_Deadman) reported from Hinckley, England

    @virginmedia Yes, resetting the router solves the issue, however, the issue we have is that we have to reset the router 2-3 times a week. Yesterday we had to do so 4 times. The slightest bit of rain.. the signal is gone. It is thoroughly frustrating.

  • MatthewWalne Matthew Walne (@MatthewWalne) reported from Mountsorrel, England

    @virginmedia You were going to then I had to cancel for some reason. Can never get through to anyone to discuss.

  • JLewisRUK Jamie Lewis Rennie (@JLewisRUK) reported from Leicestershire, England

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • dgzipit David Gould (@dgzipit) reported

    Can @NetflixUK please fix their bug that identified @virginmedia WiFi routers as VPNs and then blocks the IP address. Sounds like a failed IT implementation that needs to be rolled back until it's professionally tested.

  • Traceymichell28 Tracey j (@Traceymichell28) reported

    @virginmedia This is all BS,there's a fault in the area they are obviously not bothering to repair,they keep changing the time it will be ready and it never is,you have no customer service or any answer,your only reply is from Pakistan and obviously they know nothing about the problem!

  • settolove86 M 💙 (@settolove86) reported

    @virginmedia Both are now not possible as our service is still out.

  • RH_1985 BlazeBlock3Rach 💙🐲 (@RH_1985) reported

    @aliusbatus @virginmedia My folks left them for that reason. No reward for customer loyalty.

  • Codingwolf Codewolf (@Codingwolf) reported

    @virginmedia you have now failed to apply a discount to my account that you have promised me 2 months in a row after mis-selling me a service at the setup of the account. If you don't sort it out I will be taking it up with the ombudsman. Not happy. 😑

  • lincoll67 Linda Collett (@lincoll67) reported

    @virginmedia Spoken to a female customer service rep, very helpful. Now appears to be sorted & the problem was exactly what I've been telling the other reps for the last 2 days - hadn't been activated your end!

  • pjextra Paul Jackson (@pjextra) reported

    @virginmedia really showing the love for customers.. a £10 credit to compensate for an ongoing network fault since 14th Jan, that they say won’t be fixed until at least 7th Feb, and that’s made broadband useable most days. I mean I’m just blown away by the love.

  • vish979 Vishal Raja (@vish979) reported

    @virginmedia how can I make a complaint. I was promised no changes to my service and renegotiated a new contract at 76 pounds and I got an email advising changes and removals I didn’t agree to. This was the third time i spoke to virgin and you got it wrong again.

  • Traceymichell28 Tracey j (@Traceymichell28) reported

    @virginmedia So a day and a half without any service,or any help and communication,if you're thinking of installing Virgin media, think again!

  • cottonsox34 Gary Cotton (@cottonsox34) reported

    @virginmedia I was also told the resets might take 30 mins to start working properly. I have asked for a call back from a supervisor but was told they are going to tell me the same thing and you will not upgrade my router. I hope this won’t be the case as I will just cancel my contract.
