    @virginmedia Too many service drops. Engineer has been to properly to fix but this persists.

  • MarkLangshaw
    Mark Langshaw (@MarkLangshaw) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Was Thursday or Friday but you never call me back when you say you will, so I'm not confident it will be completed unless I keep chasing it up.

  • ShanklyBob77
    Ian Hawksey (@ShanklyBob77) reported from Aintree Village, England

    Absolute nightmare trying to watch @SkySportsF1 on my phone because of how poor @virginmedia are especially since merging with @o2, used to just put email and password in, now going around in circles with same message asking me to verify email link and switch, very poor practice.

    Sarah Hill (@Its_Sal_Queen) reported from Liverpool, England

    Would love to be able to start work @virginmedia, but the Internet is down.

  • MadRabbitLady75
    Hannah McKay (@MadRabbitLady75) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @virginmedia They answered, established they couldn't sell me a new product then told me to phone back in the day my contract ends and immediately hung up.. If it was clearly stated online in your info "don't phone us to cancel until your contract ends" I'd have saved 35 minutes of my day..

  • ChrisWAzure
    Chris Wright (@ChrisWAzure) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia The guy was the most arrogant person I've ever spoke to in CS, retentions is meant to be the end of the line, if it was my service and not my wife's 93 year old nan i'd have cancelled the contract. I asked to speak to a manager and was told "managers don't speak to customers"....

  • Parleyyyyyy
    Josh (@Parleyyyyyy) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just done that. If you watch the video though you’ll see it doesn’t even let me get to the login page. As soon as I click on virgin media customer it tries to take me to a website & then closes down

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia is honestly the worst company for WiFi

  • CryptoDan2k
    CryptoDan2k (@CryptoDan2k) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Done it again, 3 outages in 3 days. Very poor

  • embedded_iot
    Alex (@embedded_iot) reported from Seaforth, England

    Hey @virginmedia I’m pretty sure these people have a bot watching your bot and are then messaging all of your customers asking for their information. I nearly fell for it due to the speed with which they messaged. This is about to become a very big problem for you @cybergibbons

    Virgin media customer service 🥴😭🤯

  • jonathansc
    Jonathan SC ن Esq. (@jonathansc) reported from Birkenhead, England

    Thank you for the update - how can you more that 12 hours after the incident occurred only just be sending an engineer to try and fix @virginmedia

  • lfc_shirts
    hazzalad (@lfc_shirts) reported from Seaforth, England

    @virginmedia any help?

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @BlaggerBly @virginmedia Seems to be Wirral wide at least, and I think Liverpool is affected too. VM should be massively compensating their affected customers for this, but they hide behind their terms and conditions where they only deem it reasonable to compensate if the outage last more than 3 days!

  • Robertlfc_
    Rob (@Robertlfc_) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia just been took out of a game of fifa, that I was winning! Because of your awful internet. Get it fixed!!

  • MarkLangshaw
    Mark Langshaw (@MarkLangshaw) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Hello, my broadband was supposed to be installed on 6th Sept but your engineer only did half a job and ****** off. When I call up to find out when you're coming back to finish my installation, I can't get a straight answer and nobody calls me back! Shite service!

  • lurkinhead
    Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England

    @les_murray71 @virginmedia Still saying 12.05 on the app Lesley .... have they put that new estimated fix time out elsewhere? 😱

  • les_murray71
    Lesley Murray (@les_murray71) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia @joshyw0shy Its the whole of the Wirral by the sound of it, no statement from Virgin, just telling hundreds of customers to check for an outage, only have to look at their twitter to see how many of us have been told the same thing

  • alandean1878
    Alan Dean (@alandean1878) reported from Roby, England

    @virginmedia Can this be done while the Wi-Fi is down? We recently lost FOUR days service but "hadn't complained properly!!" So couldn't claim!!

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TheGriftReport
    Grifty (@TheGriftReport) reported

    Millions of mobile phone users face data rationing and price hikes after Rachel Reeves excluded telecoms firms from a major energy discount scheme. Chancellor Reeves left VodafoneThree, Virgin Media O2 and EE out of the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme which gives a 25% cut on electricity bills to thousands of other businesses. Telecoms firms are now facing full 33% energy price rises triggered by the Iran war and are drawing up emergency plans including slowing speeds, restricting data during peak times and charging premiums for heavy usage. One network warned up to 9,000 jobs could be at risk and 5G rollout plans shelved. VodafoneThree said it is “disappointed” and urged the Government to protect the critical digital networks the country depends on. Virgin Media O2 added that if the Government wants growth it cannot overlook the networks Britain relies on.

    @virginmedia @FuzziePieRat Yes.. And how ****** up is it that you treat your existing paying customers so badly they have to attempt to do these hacks to get what you are freely giving away to new customers?

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia Can’t do without your input and thought they might need another kick . On a separate issue just considering at what price I look to switch some of my SDLF into LGEN, already own both but weighed heavily towards SDLF at mo

    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    Day 4 of poor followed by NO broadband service from good old @virginmedia. Fix now predicted to be by 29/4/26😡 Worryingly, none of their previous predictions have proved accurate Shocking and unacceptable performance #GetItSorted

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @miaKJKJ22 @Gary1165 @virginmedia Yes, agreed, it's usually well known about general outages. Annoying though when they say it's all fixed in your area and the service checker says all OK at you property when it clearly isn't 😬

  • andymuza
    CMDR Andy Fireblade Muza (@andymuza) reported

    @virginmedia why is it when a contract ends you remove all previous offers instead of automatically giving the loyal customer the best offer you can do? Also why don't you contact the customer about it instead of just increasing their price by a large amount. What a joke.
