    @virginmedia why is the red button on sky sports football not working no option to watch the live games ?? Poor service

  • AndyM50760310 Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia That is really poor. It should be for Virgin to sort not the public. I spent an hour on the phone on Thursday speaking to a next to useless overseas call centre.

  • Gingernuts73 Sir Rodney Ffing 🇬🇧🥃👓📱📸 (@Gingernuts73) reported from Huddersfield, England

    Anyone else having an issue with @virginmedia WiFi?

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had that email. I’ve also had another email this morning saying they’re sorry to hear I’m unhappy with my broadband speed. I’m not! I’m unhappy with a call out charge being applied, which was promised to be reversed and never has been!

  • rwgladwin Richard Gladwin (@rwgladwin) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia were there issues in S9 around 1020 this morning?

  • pearson_alison Alison Pearson (@pearson_alison) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia why is the red button not working I've paid for this service

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

    Virginmedia Rotherham some with no internet and no TV known issues in the area 6pm fix time

  • AndyM50760310 Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia I can’t sign in with the original details. The email is no longer mine.

  • victimsvoice73 Victims Voice (@victimsvoice73) reported from Sheffield, England

    Anyone recommend a phone network been with @O2 for years and since it merged with @virginmedia it’s shocking. When I went on holiday before I’d never had problems this year wouldn’t let me go my own internet & here signal keeps going for phoning not to mention rise in scam calls

  • AndyM50760310 Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia Help please. Tried to resolve wirh 3 members of your overseas Call Centre and was promised a call back. I can’t access my account.

  • EJJFoster Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia hi is there an issue in wakefield with the broadband? It has been off all afternoon. Constantly on the blink!!

  • giinagii GiinaGii 🐱 (@giinagii) reported from Sheffield, England

    @Condieflyy My virgin media went down this morning too 👀

  • John_murphy1 John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia No problem, and thank you for sorting it out quickly. May be worth making sure telephone staff tell customers about call out charges as I had no idea they applied in this situation.

  • pidgpie Chris,,,, (@pidgpie) reported from Rotherham, England

    Here we go its worked for a week virginmedia internet down rebooted worked for 2 mins down again ill check my status later usually goes off then comes back on and works again S65 area

  • xjuewx Jules Tee (@xjuewx) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia not good when my 82yr old mum was left with no phone service so no health emergency service and city wide alarm for the last 2 days.... not good enough !!!!

  • kaw7676 Karen Walsh (@kaw7676) reported from Normanton, England

    @virginmedia it’s impossible to contact them with a complaint if you aren’t a customer.

  • EJJFoster Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I have tried the status but its saying the service is fine. Yet all the people on out estate are complaining they cannot get onto Virgin internet. We cannot book an engineer as isolating. Why is it constantly broken or speeds so slow?

  • owen1257 Owen1257 (@owen1257) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @HAWTToys I'm on Sky and their Internet service is 100 times better than Virgin media's

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • StreetsofGreezo Grizzo (@StreetsofGreezo) reported

    @virginmedia Yep been doing that for 8 days as well. No help there just get fobbed off to a imaginary technician that never arrives. What am I meant to be paying for? a paperweight?

  • Philmassey85 Phil Massey (@Philmassey85) reported

    @virginmedia Then when I contacted your tech team after all that I was advised to restart and give it 24 hours after being told it might be due to a local outage that they couldn't provide me any details about so asked to make a complaint! Which wasn't logged! And I am back to square one! 3/3

  • blondetwin1710 Sarah (@blondetwin1710) reported

    @virginmedia Connectivity problems and upgrading account. But according to the man I spoke to, only new customers get the better deals. He seemed to feel our connectivity problems were our problem, not yours.

  • StreetsofGreezo Grizzo (@StreetsofGreezo) reported

    @virginmedia Sends me off to a "Technician" that never arrives. Am really considering leaving as theres been no service here.

  • Glenorchil Glenorchil 🇨🇦🇪🇺 (@Glenorchil) reported

    @ShippersUnbound @IvorGCampbell @virginmedia nightmare, tier 4 lockdown and no internet, bad news. Our Sky went goofy yesterday and that was bad enough.

  • Philmassey85 Phil Massey (@Philmassey85) reported

    @virginmedia When I have spoken to someone I have tried router restarts, a new virgin hub was sent out, I've split my WiFi signal, taken off all devices bar 1 or 2 because there were too many connected! (Made no difference) And an engineer has been out and provided new cable. 2/3

  • LeroyDLS David Leroy Selllers (@LeroyDLS) reported

    I have never experienced such bad customer service before like I have just from @virginmedia . I am literally cancelling because of this. Horrendous experience- I’m going with @skytv #virginmedia #badcustomerservice #skytv

  • blondetwin1710 Sarah (@blondetwin1710) reported

    @virginmedia Well that would be easier, but having tried to change my email with yourselves already you haven't done so, so I cannot access online. Several issues and none of them resolved. I thought during times of pandemic WiFi services would be more up to scratch for people to stay at home

  • ChrissieTinks Chrissie Walsh (@ChrissieTinks) reported

    @toml86 @virginmedia I've been trying to get a response to a written complaint since September. Even the complaints department are worse than useless!

  • scahb69 Sarah Cannell (@scahb69) reported

    @CJ_the_Vampire @virginmedia Have just had the identical conversation re: VM blocking the Vodafone sure signal port @vodafone say it’s a common problem known to both companies but neither appear prepared to resolve it
