Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!
-
Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.
-
Gareth Miller 🇺🇦 (@geemiller71) reported from Washington, England@ee no signal on 5g in @IcelandFoods wife 4g on @virginmedia full signal.
-
Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too
-
Georgina McGowan (@seldomseenkid16) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia can you help with my phone services not currently working
-
Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England@virginmedia disgusting slow speeds AGAIN in NE27 Cant wait for my contract end
-
liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England@virginmedia won't even let me over the automated service
-
LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.
-
Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England@virginmedia Just realised this is the first post in a year!! Had your broadband gone down?
-
🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.
-
Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England@jmstocka @virginmedia Has to be the worst app going. It regularly says this to me despite the 47 step verification
-
Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England@virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)
-
Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported from Chester-le-Street, England“You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia
-
liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia I'm definitely filein complaint 15 days without no TV and 2 kids is really hard work its either that or I'll go with someone else
-
NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandTime for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.
-
Scott Noble (@ScottN1504) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, EnglandHas anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.
Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Mr Nash (@Nasher6328) reported@OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Under UK law (primarily the Consumer Rights Act 2015), broadband services must be provided with reasonable care and skill and be of satisfactory quality. A complete outage lasting 7 weeks is almost certainly a breach, giving you the right to end the contract and seek a remedy (like cancellation without penalty or a refund for the affected period). Virgin Media participates in Ofcom's automatic compensation scheme for total loss of service (no internet at all via wired connection). You should already be getting ~£10.34 per day automatically after the first 2 full working days of reporting the fault. This doesn't directly let you cancel penalty-free, but it supports your case.
-
Gary Broadbent (@garyb007) reported@TezzaBelle88 @virginmedia Yep, pretty standard. By miles, the worst customer service I've ever experienced. What's more, nobody seems to want to improve it.
-
Ana Atkinson (@Ana1Atkinson) reported@virginmedia @virginmedia my tv, broadband & phone is down again. Just missed the final of BGT which I spent months watching only to miss the final results. I can’t lodge the problem online as it won’t allow me. Judging by all the comments online, seems Virgin have serious problems
-
♛ 𝔹𝕒𝕒𝕝𝕥 (@DrBaalt) reported@footballontnt What’s the deal with TNT Sports and Virgin media and the HBO app. Signed up. But the app doesn’t allow access. And for that reason I’ll be gone in 30 days. This time forever. Such a ridiculous solution. Doesn’t work. So it’s gone and so is my business. Forever.
-
Mark Sutherland * (@markenello) reported@MattyBeer @virginmedia Its broadband and TV but I've had more than enough of the terrible service
-
Liv 💚🫶🐅📚 (@LivThms) reported@britfoodfinder @virginmedia They had a major crash last August...thats when my issue started. After that it wouldnt accept my password, asked for a passkey which I'd never even set up, but didnt provide an option to do so even an 'Ive forgotten my passkey...' etc.
-
megb (@Gbarch1) reported@virginmedia Our service in CM16 went down on Thursday 28th @ 10pm. Ridiculous 'updates' have been sent every few hours. The supposed fix is now 2nd June. What on earth is going on?
-
Mel54321 (@MelG54321) reported@virginmedia services down in my whole area since Thursday night. Only got a message at 18.30 yesterday that they had an engineer on site. Child trying to revise for their GCSEs has no Internet access.
-
john campbell (@John_M_Campbell) reported@virginmedia any idea why you cancelled my subscription last night at midnight when I renewed my contract a fortnight ago? Terrible service here, get it sorted!
-
Chris Corney (@ChrisCorney1) reported@OliverGMcManus @katedodd3 @virginmedia It was a great day when I got these rip off merchants out of my life. If uou Google it you will see tgere are multiple mass complaints to Ofcom about obstacles they create to customers trying to switch away. Keep going and threaten a formal complaint.
