Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Salih Toyran (@Freeze_) reported@virginmedia I have been trying your agents to fix my user name and password for almost 7 weeks!!! I’ve spent hours on the call and I’ve been made numerous promises but none of them kept. Still today agent telling me I should wait 2-3 weeks to fix this. This is beyond the pale!!!
-
kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England@virginmedia Nope didn’t hear back from them I wasn’t wasting my time and your poor customer service
-
Rob Marshall (@robmarshall83) reported@virginmedia No. But got an email to say I had regardless. The call got cut off but didn't receive a call back. All very disappointing considering I've used your service for the last approx. 20 years.
-
kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported@virginmedia Having trouble did you read the text I’m having a break then I’ll get back to you!!! What kind of customer service is that ??
-
Rob Marshall (@robmarshall83) reported@virginmedia On demand hasn't worked properly for weeks. I pay every month and don't have the time to call each time it goes down. Basically told its not a big deal as its not a full service outage. I can get @skytv for £40 a month less.
-
Ross Fraser (@RossFraserE17) reported@virginmedia Yes I have. Doesn’t give any information as to why there’s an outage or@why it may take until tomorrow to fix it. More information needed please
-
ThatProgrammer (@ThatProgrammer) reportedBeen on hold for 15 minutes with @vmbusiness trying to get my number moved to my new @virginmedia service.. I'm losing it with this music which is way too loud for phone lines to handle so it's very disrupted.
-
Mohamed Naved (@mnaved) reported@virginmedia Have been talking to all sorts of people without any answers. I get the same answer that we will get back to you within 48 hours. Days and months have passed. No answer. So no point in calling the sales team. Waste of time. VERY POOR SERVICE.
-
Aspire to Inspire (@Jack_07_Daniel) reported@virginmedia Problem is the deals for existing customers are worse than for new customers. Which means it doesn’t pay to be loyal. I’m on my 30 day cooling off period and I’m looking at going with communityfibre. I’ll probably look at getting my dad to cancel his move to Virgin Media too.

Vicky Sills (@lemonadesocial_) reported@notsupermum @virginmedia I’ve been with Sky nearly 10 years and never had any problems
