  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @panzerfaust81 Any chance we can cancel as your customer service team hang up after waiting an hour on hold? Sick of your dreadful service. Please contact me as this is a joke. Need to leave due to moving home and you make it even harder @Ofcom

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

  • AndrewI81572127 Andrew Irwin (@AndrewI81572127) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia my parents services are down , in Consett , co Durham . Phone and everything

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

  • beyond_vinyl BEYOND VINYL (@beyond_vinyl) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia my phone and broadband is down (#NewcastleUponTyne city centre) we are in a pandemic and I have nothing else to do so need internet!! Any idea when service will be restored??

  • simplyajblog Abbie✨ (@simplyajblog) reported from Dunston, England

    @katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    What to do when you have been trying to contact @virginmedia since november 2 complaints raised with disgusting customer service, eventually someone answers the phone only to cut me off 😡😡😡

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia My initial call was about the price increase and to see if we could downgrade as my partner is on furlough my business is closed that was 25th nov so have since paid another 2 months bill £168 I could not be more disappointed in the service i have received

  • chrismayes .💙#FBPPR #FBPE You have no authority here johnson (@chrismayes) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hey @virginmedia #DontFundGBNews or i terminate my contract with you.

  • Jacq_Critch Jacqueline Critchley (@Jacq_Critch) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can reply since your customer service department have just hung up after waiting an hour to get through. So sick of your terrible customer service hence why i want to leave. #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice #cancellation

  • peteroliver18 Peter Oliver (@peteroliver18) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia My broadband has gone into a weird stopped working properly and I'm at my dad's house 12 Wardenlaw NE10 8NE it keeps going on and off and is so slow and it is barely usable! Is anyone else having the same problem with Virgin?

  • 1slandmonkey Benjamin Spurling (@1slandmonkey) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia What an absolute shower of **** your customer services are, goodbye don’t contact me again!

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

  • martin_avery Martin Avery (@martin_avery) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia are you having problems with your broadband connections in the NE15 area ?, it’s been rubbish over the last few days

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia I am not in receipt of universal credit and back in nov i thought we could save some money by downgrading now I would like everything out, and will go with another provider. After the service i have received from yourselves nobody else can do as bad a job

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia broadband constantly disconnects, contacting you via phone is a total waste of time. How do I get this issue sorted?

  • CompaneroDave David (@CompaneroDave) reported from Wallsend, England

    Have been forced upstairs to watch the match in the PS4. WiFi is usually crap up here. But, no, it's working perfectly so I'm forced to watch #NUFC. Cheers @virginmedia, why can't you do this when I'm trying to work?!

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • pfkearns Paul Kearns (@pfkearns) reported

    Received our regular @virginmedia 'We're ***************' letter saying our broadband is increasing - you can cancel if you give 30 day's notice - letter arrives exactly 30 days before increase! 10 years on we're still paying more than new customers #noshame

  • WolfBrother_ Wolf_Brother (@WolfBrother_) reported

    @virginmedia broadband and TV out again until at least 21:30 tonight. That is a loss if service now 5 times in the past 8 weeks. This is a disgrace. No refunds or anything but we are not recovering the service we pay for. #poorservice #virginmedia

  • sharonjane3103 Sharon G (@sharonjane3103) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it was. Also forgot to mention the last person I spoke to informed me that I had requested my account be closed. News to me. If the whole process wasn’t so time consuming and stressful I’d laugh. It’s really no way to treat customers.

  • blairsinclair blair sinclair (@blairsinclair) reported

    @virginmedia The rep said that was fine, the proceeded to tell me how virgin speeds were faster etc. I said I still wanted the 30 days to stand but I would get in touch if I changed my mind. Now I find out the notice period was never logged and I face a huge bill for a service I had cancelled

  • riotousdeer RiotousDeer (@riotousdeer) reported

    @virginmedia Do you know how long our #VirginMobile coverage is going to be down in #ArmthorpeDN3? I believe it’s a mast issue but would be useful to have an ETA for a fix. Your online status checker doesn’t appear to show #Mobile

  • iainbroon90 Iain Brown (@iainbroon90) reported

    @HamezWarchico My broadband thru Virgin Media has been awful recently. Was good up until I renewed recently (at a much cheaper rate than they were trying to shaft me with too). My actual phone signal through Sky in the house has became shockingly bad too.

  • qxVsu2lyDS7dj6A 風陵師太 (@qxVsu2lyDS7dj6A) reported

    @virginmedia It really wasting my time, how can I simply cancel my contract ?

  • KarenRHealey Karen Rachael Healey (@KarenRHealey) reported

    @virginmedia broadband is shocking! It keeps dropping out. Reported it before and was spoken to rudely by your customer services got told a manager would call me back in an hour and no1 did! Just tried to phone - we are all busy go away! Contract ends @Sky here I come = cheaper

  • NilsSchaffner Nils Schaffner (@NilsSchaffner) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry, this is not the first time I've tried to cancel, last time after 45min, I could not wait anymore and had to hang up. Today I managed to stay online 2 hours and speak to 4 different people to finally cancel. Seems there is something fundamentally wrong here.

  • nearly5ft Dominique (@nearly5ft) reported

    @virginmedia I have. As previously mentioned I have read the FAQs, logged into my online acct and tried (and tried) to call the published international phone no. but my phone will not connect. This is now my 5th tweet over 3 days. Do I now qualify for some actual tailored help? Please? Thanks
