  • Rosey_8 Barry Rose (@Rosey_8) reported from Brentwood, England

    @virginmedia hi could please let me know how I can cancel my contract ?? My bills are about £30/40 a month higher than most people I know

  • JCherryAMES James Cherry (@JCherryAMES) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hi the internet is down in Eltham 21, all day and can’t run a test because you’ve sent me a hub 4 that doesn’t allow it!

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Yep that’s funny. Really is. Do you not think I’ve not tried ringing you & only can do so on my mobile as no landline remember, on hold up to 40 mins+ & then cut off. You try it. It’s impossible to speak to a real person. WORST SERVICE EVER👎🏻

  • maharrison Mark Harrison (@maharrison) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @virginmedia Thank you I am going to try again via sales as managed to get through last night but was informed I need to speak to construction and they were closed. Complaint ref was/is C-030920566 Thanks for helping Mark

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I just want 2 speak 2 someone that will sort issues out ASAP without holding for an hour & more. App chat is non responsive. Beyond frustrated by no phone or broadband & terrible backup help support non existent. How can I fix this or please just cancel as had enough now.

  • andyfry andyfry (@andyfry) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia oh what a surprise the Internet is down again. If there was any alternative to Virgin in my area I'd be off like a shot.

  • dominicjoyner Dominic Joyner (@dominicjoyner) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia - how do I report a specific problem with a TV service?

  • ferdi_rezvan Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia is there known problems in the SE3 area? Virgin service status page is not working...

  • onemistert Mr T (@onemistert) reported from London, England

    @jayrayner1 @virginmedia If the service isn’t down in the area then the fault could simply be resolved by restarting the hub. I guess you’ve done that already?

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I’m sick of corresponding with virtual assistants. I need a real person to fix a real problem. Now.

  • GraceWaring22 GRΔCΣ (@GraceWaring22) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia please respond and contact me to sort out my issues of no landline and broadband, your service is a nightmare & zero response or support from appchat. Not happy. #virginmedia @virginmedia

  • OlaAgbaimoni Ola Agbaimoni (@OlaAgbaimoni) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Wow I’m shocked. Clearly a lot of people will have gadgets that can only support 2Ghz which was available as a separate SIDD on the hub 3. If you were not going to support it you owed customers forewarning of this fact.

  • citigirly lisa sibley (@citigirly) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia hi intermittent broadband all morning now none at all and service status page not working? Se3 need ASAP as wfh

  • tosman30 Tom🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚒ (@tosman30) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia have an error code (C130) and not getting a signal, what does this mean?

  • ako_essex The Gaffa🔌 (@ako_essex) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia worst internet provider going

  • jamesrfyoung James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England

    @virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice

  • StaceyRebekka Stacey Karlsson (@StaceyRebekka) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia just been on hold to your customer services team for almost an hour, the call has just been cut off. We have no internet, but you’ve still taken payment. Can you get someone to call me ASAP please before I report you.

  • mariobucolo Mario Bucolo (@mariobucolo) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia down in se6 london? Can't access to your site even from the mobile

  • roxburghshire ifmcl (@roxburghshire) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia no internet for a week in SE23 Help line says ‘complex technical problems in your area engineers are working hard to resolve.’ It’s been a week!

  • ako_essex The Gaffa🔌 (@ako_essex) reported from London, England

    Virgin media is absolutely awful in every aspect

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • toffeetezza Terry D. (@toffeetezza) reported

    @virginmedia No, none of those are the main issue which is the box just randomly shutting down mid program and rebooting. Have missed vital parts of programs & goals in football matches, so you can see how annoying that is from what is supposed to be state of the art equipment!

  • PemJol PemJol (@PemJol) reported

    @virginmedia Nope the issue apparently is always with my *** which the automated line tells me to restart which I do. Still no joy. Even after a factory reset, which now means not a single smart device can connect to it. Brilliant

  • MattDen82519810 Matt Dennis (@MattDen82519810) reported

    @virginmedia @bt_uk when will full fibre be available in my area? Fed of having daily issues with our fibre provided by @virginmedia not a day goes by where we don’t have issues and then to top it off they want to charge us more for this privilege #cantwaittochange

  • PemJol PemJol (@PemJol) reported

    @virginmedia And spend another 6 hours on hold??? Fantastic business model. Trap them in. Cut service and refuse to interact with them. Like it. We are trapped. Time to cancel the direct debit then I guess. Could they put you Twitter people on the phones maybe?

  • carlyeann #MrsApples (@carlyeann) reported

    @virginmedia Between 12-4pm not ideal when in lockdown two young children and no Tv. Paying for a service we haven’t got!

  • simonwillard12 simon willard (@simonwillard12) reported

    @virginmedia Oh right, an area outage for the past 18 months. I’ve been with virgin for 10+ years it’s not an outage but an issue at my address. Can you get an engineer out like promised? I phoned and was on hold for an hour then the call ended on me.

  • PemJol PemJol (@PemJol) reported

    Here we go again @virginmedia another morning on hold.... can’t wait. Can you play some more cheerful music. Spent 6 hours on hold at the weekend with ‘hold music to kill yourself by’ even tougher on a Monday! @MartinSLewis @hollywills please help lone parents getting ripped off

  • mdpattison Mark Pattison (@mdpattison) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, is there an update on this yet? We’ve bow been without our broadband since Thursday afternoon. Your postcode checker is still saying the service is fine, which is obviously not the case.

  • lauzmarsland laura marsland (@lauzmarsland) reported

    @virginmedia morning, there seems to have been a problem in our area since yesterday any ideas when we will be back online??

  • 1Ryez Ryan (@1Ryez) reported

    @virginmedia I wanted to complain about the price increase, only renewed my contract for another 18 months. Trying to contact you on the phone is nearly impossible to get through. If your services were worth the extra price increase it wouldn’t be a problem .
