Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Formby and nearby locations:

  • davetarl Dave Tarleton (@davetarl) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Hi RCG, I say hours, was just short of an hour! All sorted now. My gripe is there should be a cancel/leave option on the website saves ringing up and waiting when you are leaving no matter what.

  • JE_Boland Jane Boland (@JE_Boland) reported from Seaforth, England

    Been on hold @virginmedia for 25 mins- now on 3rd call and nearly 2 hours. Shocking customer service. Making my decision to leave that much easier.

  • stefaniantiques Stefani Antiques (@stefaniantiques) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I rang support yesterday and they said an ongoing issue that could take up to a week and when I follow your link it says no known issues. #mixedmessages

  • CRMann78 NYPD Blue (@CRMann78) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Been with Virgin for 5 days of dreadful customer service, how can a mobile set up result in loss of all subscribed tv channels, held in queue for over an hour is the norm, will be cancelling my contract due to this total mismanagement #VirginMediaSucks

  • awesome_walls Steve Wall (@awesome_walls) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia you may have faster network speeds but if you don’t improve your router network range I’m going back to @BTCare at the end of my contract!

  • NicolaAinsy279 Nicola Connor (@NicolaAinsy279) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I am no longer a customer and I have paid the account in full. It was paid in August 2018 and my credit file is showing that I’m behind on my payments and have been since April 2018 as it hasn’t been updated for 18 months! 4 times I’ve been told my complaint would be dealt with.

  • andrewmoss76 andrew moss (@andrewmoss76) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia btsport 2 no signal missing the match here get it sorted

  • MrCRichardson Craig Richardson (@MrCRichardson) reported from Liverpool, England

  • JE_Boland Jane Boland (@JE_Boland) reported from Seaforth, England

    I have been on the phone with @virginmedia for nearly two hours and am no closer to getting my problem solved.

  • stefaniantiques Stefani Antiques (@stefaniantiques) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I joined yesterday and was expecting super fast fibre broadband and got intermittent slow. Liverpool L18 area. Not a good start. #regrets

  • phanleyphotos Paul Hanley Photos (@phanleyphotos) reported from Prescot, England

    Moved from @virginmedia to @SkyUK but phone number hasn’t moved. @virginmedia say it’s possible to still port it and the response from @SkyUK - we don’t know how to do that, hang up and try to speak to someone else after 3 hours on the phone 🤬🤬🤬

  • rayjono50 Ray Jono (@rayjono50) reported from Seaforth, England

    Just been holding on the phone for over 30 minutes to speak to a "human being" from Virgin Media" I lost the will to live and hung up. Will call tomorrow to tell them I will be leaving sick of their poor service.

  • gedbird Gerard Bird (@gedbird) reported from Formby, England

    @virginmedia very dissatisfied with your customer service for a phone fault that has occurred twice in a week, nobody actively responds to app messaging service and call from my mobile is not producing any better results. For a major communications company it is appalling!!

  • Sauber_Dave David Kelly (@Sauber_Dave) reported from Maghull, England

    @virginmedia That was just a number to check if there were any known issues in my area. Not very helpful.

  • NicolaAinsy279 Nicola Connor (@NicolaAinsy279) reported from Liverpool, England

    4th time complaining to @virginmedia and still NO reply and not dealt with at all. 3 complaint forms submitted and 1 letter. Now with the @financialombuds but going to take a while because of large volumes of complaints 😕🙄 just want my credit file updating! 😡

  • Jonesj1988 Jonesy (@Jonesj1988) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia what’s going on with your customer service line the waiting times are ridiculous!!!! I only need to give you a pac number to get my number transferred why am I regretting switching providers already haven’t even got started yet 😡

  • flux_blair Alex Downes (@flux_blair) reported from Liverpool, England

    Just had a call from @virginmedia asking me what I use my network for, how many devices I have on the network. Please mind your own business, answers to these questions can be used by OCGs to target my home and only call me if you really have to. Thanks

  • scoobyjue julie hennelly (@scoobyjue) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia this company is an absolute joke. This is like 6 engineers numerous phone calls’ complaints. Can’t get them to call us back. Paying for service that doesn’t work!

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • minzibz1988 k games (@minzibz1988) reported

    @virginmedia I agreed a new package price of 44 and got charged more. My Internet service was very bad and I got 350 Internet speed I got charged 163 for no reason I should have had 75 credit instead that went missing and I got charged over 3 times my bill.

  • _AnthonyByrne Anthony Byrne (@_AnthonyByrne) reported

    @virginmedia The issue is that last Saturday Virgin Media went down. It took a good few days for the broadband to come back on but when I tried to do the tv box. It says that it couldn't load up so I just gave up.

  • carooftheavon CC (@carooftheavon) reported

    @virginmedia Recorded message saying there's a 'complex' issue. No fix time given and never is. My point is that as this has been going on for over a month, I think it's high time your customers got a little more explanation than a vague recorded message.

  • Courtney_Star1 Courtney Draper 💝💋 (@Courtney_Star1) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just reset the rooter, but that’s the second time this week we’ve had to do it. My partner is paying nearly £50 a month for an average service being provided.

  • chris_oneill94 Chris O'Neill (@chris_oneill94) reported

    @virginmedia I'm never off messages, calls with you. I very regularly have zero or intermittent WiFi. Surely at a certain point this is a breach of contract/service and I can walk away?

  • maureen2900 no nonsense (@maureen2900) reported

    @virginmedia The thing is, this is a reoccurring problem which is getting stupid.

  • dr_usmananjum Usman Anjum (@dr_usmananjum) reported

    @virginmedia Both parties agree on a specific contract, however for last 5 months I’m not receiving the full package despite full payment. You’re unable to resolve the problem and wasted my time on web, phone chats and technician visits. #CustomerService #virginmedia

  • Gem_Gem_Louise Gemma Louise Butler (@Gem_Gem_Louise) reported

    @virginmedia collections agent stated "irrespective of that, you have to pay" Virgin Media What sort of customer service is that?!? Im in tears, my hubbys shaking with stress and rage that a massive company like Virgin Media won't honour the information from TWO separate agents.

  • carooftheavon CC (@carooftheavon) reported

    @virginmedia It's impacted in that I have none. And your telephone helpline recorded message confirms this. It affects all your customer in the Sutton SM1 area as you can see from the numerous previous tweets has been going on for some time.

  • nicholasvane Nick Vane (@nicholasvane) reported

    @virginmedia So no exact times as to when it will go down and only a rough time when it will be back. Last month it didn’t recover until late evening after we switched the box off (one of our neighbours suggested this). Nothing in your comms said we need to do this
