  • THE_COLSON Shasa Colson (@THE_COLSON) reported from Merton, England

    @O2 Hi, I've been going around in circles for weeks. I'm an O2 and Virgin Media customer. I'm supposed to be in a Vilt package but mu data hasn't been doubled on the o2 end. Can this please be sorted asap

  • SandraS80775853 Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia @Miss_SKM That is correct. What it does not cover is the persistent loss of service since August!!! #se7. Nor does it cover the absolute woeful customer services, and I use that phrase lightly, which @virginmedia is able to offer.

  • AussieHarj Have you met Harj? (@AussieHarj) reported from Walthamstow, England

    Virgin Media you suck! Going down as England start to choke in the run chase. Switched to BBC/ABC Radio over Sky Go 🙄

  • Mrspdyer Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Finally sent letter on 28 September and on checking my account realised you’ve got wrong email address attached to complaint file. Funnily enough you have correct email address for sending bills. 3/

  • Mrspdyer Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia No, I’m trying to find out the status of my complaint received by Virgin on 30 September. I’ve had zero communication or acknowledgment of it.

  • raimundo raimundo vazquez (@raimundo) reported from Tottenham, England

    Hi @virginmedia. Any chance of sorting the service in N15? Even your status page is unable to run tests but you keep informing me that there is not a problem. It is becoming quite regular feature these drops in service

  • Semykaya Sema Kaya Ocakoglu (@Semykaya) reported from Merton, England

    @virginmedia Customer services are unexperienced and not read to help also. They keep repeating same things

  • iamAleFerrara Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England

    @virginmedia Hello there, it’s past 12pm and we’re still without any Internet connection (and getting desperate now). I’d like to stress that this isn’t an intermittent signal issue but a total loss of service as we’ve been having no Internet connection AT ALL since last Friday. HELP PLEASE!

  • SandraS80775853 Mary (@SandraS80775853) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Brilliant get out clause @virginmedia. What you fail to realise is that when your so called service goes down for hours at a time, over the course of time amounts to so, so so much more than 48 hours!! Roll on switching of providers.

  • Mrspdyer Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Customer Service is shocking. It’s now almost 6 hours since I asked on WhatsApp for email address to be corrected and I’m still waiting for a response.

  • jfcolomer Juan Folgar Colomer (@jfcolomer) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what's the reason for the intermittent broadband service in the Charlton #SE7 area? Any ETA when this will be solved?

  • charbster Charbster (@charbster) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia do you have website issues? Chat function not responding.

  • judge_ravinder Ravinder Judge (@judge_ravinder) reported from Hounslow, England

    @virginmedia once again there is no connection between our box and the hub after a couple of days with no problems. Also why did the engineer I had booked for Thursday morning not turn up? 😡

  • sam_batty Sam Batty (@sam_batty) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Just spend over an hour on live chat/phone. Your service means we’ll be nearly two weeks without internet!

  • Mrspdyer Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Of course I have. My email is correct on online account. I get email bills correctly. But my complaint file has an extra character to email address and so I’ve never received acknowledgment of my complaint.

  • Mrspdyer Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia Also raised it in web complaint form which didn’t work. Web complaint form hasn’t worked for 2 months. Then sent letter and still no response. 2/

  • jasonhier Jason Hier (@jasonhier) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Is service in London W13 working?

  • RanjanMallya Ranjan Mallya (@RanjanMallya) reported from Croydon, England

    This is what I get for being a customer for over 8 continuous years and then 5 years before that. This is awful customer service by Virgin media. #Virginmedia @virginmedia

  • JoanaLoGomes Joana (@JoanaLoGomes) reported from Merton, England

    Hey @virginmedia. Any chance the Broadband issue is getting fixed soon in SW17? I’m working from home tomorrow, so this is a bummer really!

  • Liamsmith260493 Liam Smith (@Liamsmith260493) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Our Wifi has been down since yesterday can you help please

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mattzm Agent Matthew (@mattzm) reported

    Given that twice I have been left on hold/read for multiple hours by Virgin Media CS as I try to cancel the service, I can only assume they beat their employees who don't successfully stop customers leaving.

  • RPW82 Rob (@RPW82) reported

    I’ve seen some things in my time (I’ve not, relatively sheltered life tbh) but nothing quite prepared me for the absolute shower of **** that has been trying to get @virginmedia installed. Three weeks without service since I received my ‘quick start’ kit and no end in sight

  • thefatscot89 Daniel McBride (@thefatscot89) reported

    @SkyUK have got to be the worst ISP in the world, getting under 10mbps for the last week, £65 to send an engineer out because I don’t want to take another contract with them, the sooner @virginmedia come to Dalry the better 😩 tl;dr - £47 a month for under 10mbps, what a joke!

  • Stream_Gene Stream_Gene (@Stream_Gene) reported

    @virginmedia When I've run that check it just said there is an issue, check back later, still same.

  • baljsingh Bal (@baljsingh) reported

    @virginmedia Will be in contact with the ombudsman and cancelling my direst debit because you won’t leave me in the line long enough to cancel.cant believe I was cut off. Pirates!!!

  • baljsingh Bal (@baljsingh) reported

    @virginmedia So no reply after your first question? Out don’t give a fig about a long serving customer. Tell me where to drop your kit off to so you don’t try and charge me for 15 yr old tech! Charlatans!!!

  • Zoezeg82 Zoe Wright (@Zoezeg82) reported

    @virginmedia I rang that number today & got a recorded message saying they could see if had recently been in touch regarding issues with broadband so I followed the instructions given & it just told me to unplug the router & leave for 20 seconds the switch back on

  • Wilson1James James Wilson (@Wilson1James) reported

    @virginmedia I have no idea what equipment was to be sent, the email does not say. No equipment to be resent. Problems started 5th Jan when there was problems in the area.

  • lewfigo Lewis Phillips (@lewfigo) reported

    @virginmedia Supposedly have Virgin media ready to go in our new flat, but after set up constantly getting a flashing green base light. Rebooted/refitted cables numerous times, but still not working. Unable to get an engineer until Thursday. Rubbish service.

  • NellyTheKing Nelly ᡱ (@NellyTheKing) reported

    Virgin media is garbage I’ve been disconnected from the internet once again… why am I paying so much for internet and they can’t even get they **** together!!!
