Shaz (@Housewife6) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia i have been trying to get my Broadband issues fixed for months and now twice i have received no call backs as promised. I called and have just been on hold for over 1 hour and then you hung up on me! 😡😡😡😡
-
Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England@Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Thought about it, but it’s most likely a management directive, nothing will happen. All I want is my package, set up the new flat, and not hear about them until we cancel again, hopefully last time.
-
Asad Moghal (@AsadMoghal) reported from Kensington, EnglandWhy does @virginmedia have the worst customer service - the chatbot won’t work, the telephone service disconnects straight away - why bother with the service?
-
YingHuiThe (@YingHuiThe) reported from Paddington, England@simonlevans @virginmedia You seem to have an inordinate amount of trouble. ZEN agree supposed to be good. I'm with BT , no trouble.
-
ALICE AND THE INK (@aliceandtheink) reported from Royal Kensington and Chelsea, EnglandIn the last four working days my graphics card has died, my boot up drive has died and now @virginmedia has a national outage. Get me on holiday now 🙏🏻
-
Anthony Payne (@Anthony_Lonres) reported from Kensington, EnglandTo all my friends who recommended @virginmedia please don’t contact me again. They are without doubt the worst company I have had the misfortune of being a customer to. If you’re considering them. Don’t.
-
Adrian Malaiet (@malaiet) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia worst internet provider in UK, appalling service
-
Alan Hodge (@hodgie_hd) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia down again in SW18 what on earth are we paying for and all your site can say is area problems as usual it really is pathetic #tradingstandards #virgindown
-
Mat Morrison (@mediaczar) reported from Paddington, England@OminousBagel @virginmedia Although I’m equally annoyed by their fault self-checking system … that requires you to be on the internet, on the same network you’re complaining is down…
-
Mo-Mo (@ImaginaryCard) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia Issue is still ongoing. I have called the helpline twice and after dialling my password and getting a dial tone, I have been cut off both times before speaking to anyone. Are your phone lines broken?
-
Wolé Adesemoye (@WoleAdesemoye) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia is by far the worst TV, broadband and telephone service I’ve received in 20. Customer service is appalling. I was just on the phone and the customer service personal just hung up on me. I just can’t wait to leave and go back to @SkyUK. #avoid #virginmedia
-
Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Can you just send a technician over to us? I’d assume you’d prioritise a customer that has been left with no Internet for 5 days? I’m not going to post the issue on an online forum, I’m asking you to provide support please.
-
Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia I’m sorry but we have been facing a total loss of service since we have no Internet connection whatsoever!
-
Al of hereford (@al_hereford) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Thank you. A call centre would have saved pain and a chat line that works would have also sufficed. Failing that a status page that works would have have helped. I still need to terminate the agreement as we are leaving the flat. No online form. Can you send me one or a link.
-
shoegal (@Marshall5Sharon) reported from Kensington, EnglandNo internet at all now… apparently there are a few areas with dodgy internet problems… thanks Virgin media 🤬🤬🤬🤬

-
reme campos (@remecampos) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Still not working, unfortunately I won’t be able to pay for this service much longer if I am always having troubles. I don’t know what to do anymore apart than moving on to another realiable provider
-
Julia Valerie (@Julia___Valerie) reported from Kensington, England@dazzleeds @virginmedia Have exactly the same experience with @virginmedia - customer service does not exist but the charges are taken and increased without fail.

Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Success W Lewis (@SuccessWLewis1) reported@virginmedia 3 months of issues have forced me into this situation. I may as well be in a zombie apocalypses.
-
Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported@MikeScheider_ Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.
-
Marina Robb (@MarinaRobb) reported@MelJanie @virginmedia Tellingly, the engineer who eventually came out (I'd already cancelled the service) said they still had to fit the back up line as they'd been fined £28 million by the regulator. Appalling customer service though.
-
Philip Robson (@philnap73) reported@InPostUK Thanks but @virginmedia say it is with you and down to you to deliver. How does this get resolved? It does not appear to have left your depot
-
Irate_Jobbie (@Irate_Jobbie) reported@AwTroon Many, many years ago, I called virgin media to tell them I was leaving. They asked why, I said you don't offer value for money anymore. Sorry you're leaving but that is the best price, you already have. It was expensive. No problem, bye now. Next day, virgin cold calls me. Asks me to confirm who I am. I said no, you are calling me, you should know. Guy was annoyed as he was phoning to offer me a better deal. I said fine, I'll call the same retentions team I called yesterday to leave and I'll know it's actually virgin. He got angry, said they can't offer discounts, only he could and if I didn't confirm my details, he couldn't give me the offer. I just told him I could no longer do business with virgin due to such poor security procedures. He seemed very angry about the fact I wasn't willing to give personal identifiable information to a stranger cold calling me. Never paid them a penny again.

john (@jhargie4) reported@o2 @virgin @virginmedia CEO LUTZ SCHUELER received a call from your office regarding my complaint and when I asked a direct question rather than answer your representative went silent before abruptly disconnected the call with no warning. Great customer service.
-
Malcolm Sillick (@Malcolm_Sillick) reported@LeilaniDowding @EE Lellani, it's not just EE, it's everyone. Even those on cable (Virgin Media) still have to have the phone plugged into the router. Seems like a good idea, until you get a power cut (which can be supported by a back-up battery, which is NOT given as standard) If the internet goes down, then so does your phone. Great if you have a mobile, but if you live in an area with a poor mobile signal, so reply on 'Wi-Fi calling' in the house, then when the internet goes down, you also have no mobile service. It's called progress!!

Ed Jones (@edujones14) reported@Johnty14 @virginmedia Better than when they came to my house. I’m not a customer but they still came while I was out and dug up plants in my front garden to access connecting services I didn’t ask for. Then refused any contact with me afterwards due to not being a customer!
-
Helen Bedford (@helenxbedford) reported@virginmedia Hello! I have an engineer visit booked but it’s not on the app. I’ve raised a complaint about that but my complaint isn’t on the app. I started a live chat and was asked to move it to WhatsApp’s, but didn’t receive any comms. How can I get any response from Virgin?

Paddy Sweeney (@PaddySw99745534) reported@virginmedia @_JIMBO55 You still have not got it ! A customer has problems with your service who has messaged, emailed and called VM but you still have not dealt with their issues. Take your out of date equipment out of my home and I will move on to a better provider. For an 82 year old unacceptable.
