  • Marilyn_huartt Marilyn malibu (@Marilyn_huartt) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • lebell83 Lee Bell (@lebell83) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Why is @virginmedia internet so poor. It’s like having dial up back

  • dodgestweet Matt Dodge Donnelly (@dodgestweet) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

  • TonyYoull TY I 92 (@TonyYoull) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Shouting at Virgin Media on the internet work fix the problem. Pass it on

    @Flittdog @Jo7Lawton @JackieMayes5 @Adamphayward @finbarr_poland @piersmorgan @virginmedia This particular job is not classed as key as its not a service everyone wants

  • vitosauras Helen #RacingForAnthoine🇧🇪 (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • robert89__ Robert (@robert89__) reported

    @virginmedia P or I as both look bad

  • LiamSG15 Liam George (@LiamSG15) reported

    @virginmedia Nope, sorry, you haven't read the messages properly. We haven't got an engineer booked because the messages we were TWICE told we would receive never arrived. So can you have someone contact me directly so we can at least do that?

  • ShamQ_ Sham Q (@ShamQ_) reported

    @virginmedia I’m not being billed and I don’t want to even begin with virgin. They are saying we can’t cancel because you’re not live yet. Now I want to take advantage of an offer I’ve got elsewhere but I can’t because they won’t tell me what’s going on with my order

  • MRobinson90 Michael J Robinson (@MRobinson90) reported

    @virginmedia can someone please call me back? Been on hold for 1 hour and then finally connected and then your colleague disappeared. Please help?

  • robert89__ Robert (@robert89__) reported

    @virginmedia Yes been no change since day 1 but the quality is awful

  • AnEnglishMuffn Jack Ryan (@AnEnglishMuffn) reported

    @virginmedia Hi ZR, I've already made a complaint, the number is C-2711202045 if you'd like to take a look yourself

  • LiamSG15 Liam George (@LiamSG15) reported

    @virginmedia It has taken 2 of us almost an entire day to get close to booking someone to come from @virginmedia and resolve an issue which has come from your end. Can you see how ludicrous that is? My flatmate was twice told he would be sent a text by your team and he has received nothing.

  • llyrwilliams93 Llŷr Williams 🎗 (@llyrwilliams93) reported

    @virginmedia Finally got through to someone, who assured me a manager would call me back within 2 days. It's been 2 weeks, still no phone call. When people who have just signed a contract with you call to report an issue, we expect it to be taken seriously.

  • woodborobarmpot Dan The Barmpot #KBF (@woodborobarmpot) reported

    For a communications company, @virginmedia seem extremely reluctant to communicate. They take your money but can't be arsed to publish an email or postal address. Charlatans blaming Covid as an excuse for extremely poor service. DIRECT DEBITS STOPPED. Collect your bits!

  • dxodato Noah 🌹✊ (@dxodato) reported

    wifi has been down in my house since i woke up i hate @virginmedia from the bottom of my heart
