  • Griggsy1968 Mark Griggs (@Griggsy1968) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia So, 3 phone calls over 50 mins all cut off! All I wanted to do was pay off a handset and upgrade a contract. Customer service 0/10!

  • RedWrenStudios Red Wren Studios (@RedWrenStudios) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp We upgraded our package and were told a new sim would be with us in 3 days then we may lose service for 10 minutes. However we have been without phone service for 2 days now 😔

  • MattHolbrook86 Matt Holbrook Golf (@MattHolbrook86) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Come on.......I'm on this page about 3 times a week. Its ridiculous the amount you charge for such a shabby service

    @virginmedia I will try again by unplugging the router etc. However other people living near me are also experiencing problems. It is not just me.

  • MattHolbrook86 Matt Holbrook Golf (@MattHolbrook86) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia My Internet is down again. In fact I spend more time without it than I do with it these days. Thoughts?

    @virginmedia Yes done as above. Still agonising slow. Cannot send attachments on emails.

  • Ipswichpests Control Solutions (@Ipswichpests) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia you really need to sort this problem out in ip1 area its been going on for weeks coming to the point where people will cancel there contacts due to poor service.

  • steevXIII Steve Tovey (@steevXIII) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Please read the thread. One App doesn't work properly, my TV box is generally fine. From a quick Google I can see it is a problem for other people with Virgin Media TiVo boxes too where the @All4 app doesn't load programmes. I can access the app and all the menu screens.

  • theresahiggins Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I am not the only one in my area with a problem. Any idea when it will be resolved.

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Your staff should put the customer first pass the enquiry to another team member take break late or offer a call back

  • Laitty Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported from Colchester, England

    Great time for my internet to go down again. Third time this week @virginmedia #colu

    @virginmedia Nope didn’t hear back from them I wasn’t wasting my time and your poor customer service

    @virginmedia I've been having this issue continuously for a couple of months and they are still continuing. Yes.

  • QuintonAndy Andy Quinton (@QuintonAndy) reported from Sproughton, England

    @virginmedia what a truly awful service. 3hours to try and sort a confirm username error,..from you! 7 days I’ve waited for you to sort the email out. Numerous calls...and still no one actually listens or cares. I think I’ve explained it to most of your call centre still no help

  • 2FingersRampant 2 Fingers Rampant (@2FingersRampant) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia service completely out at CO2 8QA and local area. Status page says all ok, so can you explain this please. Urgent work priority.

  • Ipswichpests Control Solutions (@Ipswichpests) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia Its been ongoing for weeks the Internet drops out for a few hours around the neighbourhood you guys come temporarily fix it then it drops out again a few days latter. I dont go on you page or phone anymore because you can't actually get to speak to anyone.

  • Francesco_Hair Francesco Hair Salon (@Francesco_Hair) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @virginmedia still awaiting an update on our business lines being down at the moment and call diversion not working

  • theresahiggins Theresa Higgins (@theresahiggins) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia how long will it take to fix my internet connection. CO1 area. Main problem is a slow speed for emails.

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Not worth it if you cared it would have been dealt with I will leave and tell everyone and anyone to avoid your NOT customer caring company

  • robinsontonyLIR be kind and be nice. (@robinsontonyLIR) reported from Colchester, England

    @InTheseHeels Have you tried turning it on and off again? .....OK in all seriousness it happens to me on my LAN . I concluded as I'm on a domestic connection, Virgin Media , I suspect they refresh the network to loose dormant connections periodically and I get booted off for a few secs

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • kgannon1 Kevin Gannon (@kgannon1) reported

    @virginmedia My problem is your txt service and response for this issue has been so poor I want to cancel my service. It’s simply not how you treat people. Completely unacceptable

  • kgannon1 Kevin Gannon (@kgannon1) reported

    @virginmedia No the second engineer seemed to solve it but it started happening again. It was to do with network setting and connection cables. But we’ve now had intermittent WiFi for 7 days and no compensation for earlier loss of service

  • HenryMcleanLow Henry McLean-Low (@HenryMcleanLow) reported

    @virginmedia Getting very fed up of your intermittent service! Another morning of having to tether to my phone as the internet is unusable. Any ETA on fix?!

  • Mecha_Rontharo Queer Beholder 🏳️‍🌈 (@Mecha_Rontharo) reported

    @OllieHill @virginmedia Shockingly bad service.

  • shannonastonxx shannonaston (@shannonastonxx) reported

    @virginmedia Not sure I’m in Irvine, Scotland? Can you see if there’s issues?

  • Chrisroach Chris Roach (@Chrisroach) reported

    @ALANMYERSMEDIA @virginmedia I moved back to Formby when we knew we were having our first child, the house we moved to wasn’t covered by their network. Although that wasn’t my fault they still charged us £400 for leaving the contract early.

  • AncelottiArmy ETID (@AncelottiArmy) reported

    @virginmedia £190 is out of order though and a lot of money. You should just have a set amount like £99 would be more better especially after this year with a lot of people been furlough etc. I won’t be coming back and my parents our also leaving virgin when contract is up. So 2 customer lost

  • jimb2_ Jimb2 (@jimb2_) reported

    @virginmedia I will monitor, I have provided you with a tech number and complaint number for the cable issue can you look into why I am still waiting: Tech ID 107332_3710 Complaint ID COM1044332345 I've spent far too much time dealing with Virgin on this -

  • mattd1981 Matt Dickinson (@mattd1981) reported

    @virginmedia appalling service. Have logged complaint to be told it can take up to 8 WEEKS to look at!!!! Really really not good enough. TV, broadband, landline and mobile customer and looks like time to move elsewhere. Such a shame @richardbranson

  • GregAnd12668397 Greg Anderson (@GregAnd12668397) reported

    @ALANMYERSMEDIA @virginmedia The worst thing is the stress it causes older people. My mum gets really upset by this sort of thing. Older generation don't do email and automated telephone calls
