Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • JasHummel Jas Hummel (@JasHummel) reported

    @virginmedia Oh wow that’s your solution raise a complaint. I have wasted hours of my life trying to get stable high speed broadband, I only want what I am paying for reliable broadband. I was offered £10 compensation that I declined please give to charity @HollyBranson

  • SueLyonJones Sue Lyon-Jones (@SueLyonJones) reported

    @virginmedia Normally I would do that, but I can't text or make calls at the moment because I have no network service. I tried clicking on the 'contact us' like on your site, but it returned an error 404 message. Is there a web link to a form I can use to contact customer service, perhaps?

  • adelehirst Adele Lynch (@adelehirst) reported

    @leebosher @virginmedia @sjn4915 Hey, we've been experiencing the same issue with TiVo rebooting randomly all day too. We're LE18.

  • apt Ade Thompson (fully 💉+😷) (@apt) reported

    @virginmedia Despite your status tracker saying the issue has been resolved in my area (HX3) I still have no connection. This has now been a week and I have had to arrange for the technician to visit the property on Friday (the earliest available) with a chance of paying £25 for the privilege

  • acfwilson acfwilson (@acfwilson) reported

    @virginmedia Very poor service that's for sure. Not cheap either as you said.

  • superflywalker Chris Walker (@superflywalker) reported

    @virginmedia I’m not messing about with your rubbish service when I’m putting my daughter to bed. Last week we was fobbed off saying you’ll get compensation. Don’t bother I need internet not a couple of quid

  • N_Mistry98 Nikesh Mistry (@N_Mistry98) reported

    @virginmedia No worries...managed to speak to an agent. Surprisingly didn't had to wait long. Known issue in area will be resolved in next 24hrs. If not I'll be in touch again 👍🏽

  • DaveCavfc Dave Cartwright (@DaveCavfc) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it says there are issues but the time you say it will be fixed but that has been the case since mid afternoon with no new info

  • Samyaa_x Samyaa (@Samyaa_x) reported

    After being on the phone and they transferred me 3 times. On the 3rd time I was waiting for 20mins and they just disconnected me - I didn’t even get through to the 3rd person. Is this how you treat your customers @virginmedia ?
