  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I’m using a lot of data trying to sort this out as no internet. I feel like I’m going mad. Your company says ask us for help during these difficult times yet I have and have been treat really shabbily. I’m so frustrated and angry please help me

  • Ryan_UTB Ryan Wilšon (@Ryan_UTB) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia your internet is so bad

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia They advised, reset, changing from 2.4 to 5. Then back again. Changing the settings on the account. Done this multiple times. Customer service hung up on me then I rang back again and was told I hung up on them. Awaiting a supervisor call. It’s never worked since installation

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I’ve done all that’s recommended. Logged complaints, customer service can’t help, I’m still awaiting a supervisor to contact…

  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Yes unable to use it. Wireless is very poor and was great during the first couple of weeks. Uploading is very hot and miss. Not happy considering I’m paying for fast broadband. My phone rarely connects to it unless I’m fairly close to the router. This can’t be right

  • AllpointsTV AllpointsTV - Jamie (@AllpointsTV) reported from Guisborough, England

    @virginmedia so trying to get an engineer to fix my 1gb internet after days of it running at sub 200mb and disconnecting at midnight it’s now been off for over a day . I just kept being told try again in one hour

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🐈🎸🕹️🍺♈ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia It was working fine, then went off and came back but the hub was flashing green quite quickly. When it renegotiates it's usually slow and steady green flash but this was really quick

  • MarksWeb41 Mark Webster (@MarksWeb41) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Trying to get in touch with the uk Virgin service that I still want to report a server fault because I getting no new message despite I ran 5 test e-mail that it’s did send successfully & I getting nothing no downloaded new message as it’s had not been undelivered at all. Fault?

  • Lorryolly Lorraine Ripley (@Lorryolly) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia so dissatisfied when I made a call to see if any reductions could be me to be fobbed off and advised I have the best package, the advisor was no help at all and clearly reading from a script. No bedside manner. And now my landline has suddenly stopped working!!!😥

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginhelp @Virgin Sorry,yeah it’s Virgin Media. Just waited an hour on Wednesday and it’s over half an hour now I can’t wait any longer owing to an appointment but I need some help as soon as possible Thankyou

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I need some advice and help regarding an urgent issue yet keep getting blocked at every turn. Real good customer service for a longtime customer. Needs sorting

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Does anyone from your customer care actually ring you back? My newly installed so called fast WiFi has not worked correctly since install… Terrible product….

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Having a hard time maintaining why I’ve remained so loyal. I’ve been going through a little bad time and ask for help as you publicise only to be treat like a third class citizen. Not happy my problem needs sorting today

  • wolfrubin Christian Wolf Rubin (@wolfrubin) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia The worst bit is that I was on hold for 36 minutes listened to the same song 3 times and then was hung up on.

  • stelambert1977 steven lambert (@stelambert1977) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    When will the channels issue be fixed? @virginmedia #virginmedia

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Courtney_Star1 Courtney Draper 💝💋 (@Courtney_Star1) reported

    @virginmedia It says there is an issue with TV, but nothing for broadband or phone. Our WiFi has been constantly cutting out over the past few days 🙄

  • JackHaruk Hargreaves 💙 (@JackHaruk) reported

    Virgin media broadband scam this morning, first one of the day. Poor guy was confused with my Albert character. Usual refund scammers wanting control of computer, or give them card details! Now I have to get the aliens out of my Netflix...

  • Smig3108 Lee (@Smig3108) reported

    @virginmedia What does that statement mean? More words with no substance. Is it fair that a new customer is having their installation today, 100 yards away from my address and I have to wait 3 weeks for my broadband to be fixed? Spin it how you want but it is typical of Virgin.

  • Caroline_123987 Caroline Brough 💙 (@Caroline_123987) reported

    @virginmedia can you please explain why you are reducing my service and increasing my bill by 30%?

  • chris_oneill94 Chris O'Neill (@chris_oneill94) reported

    If I am REGULARLY without service with @virginmedia can I cancel internet without a fee and move to @bt_uk or is their a cancellation? Honestly this is ridiculous at this point

  • Wilkoman1980 Stephen Wilkinson (@Wilkoman1980) reported

    @virginmedia Just checking. Don't worry, I've taken steps to help you resolve my issue. I'm disconnecting ALL of my services, then I'll wait a month and have them ALL reconnected but pay half the price. I'm sure this is as convenient for you as it is for me.

  • wendylloyd Wendy Lloyd (@wendylloyd) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, it's CS1011 which isn't included in your index of error codes online but a quick Google reveals it's not been connected to my account and only customer service can help... but it will be a week tomorrow since I called and was promised a call back..

  • mazormatan Matan Mazor (@mazormatan) reported

    hi @virginmedia, you are still billing me for a service that I canceled and there is no way to speak to a human representative that will sort the issue. Can you help?

  • Wilkoman1980 Stephen Wilkinson (@Wilkoman1980) reported

    @virginmedia Unless I decide to not bother reconnecting, which is quite possible seeing as I get unlimited 5G on my phone. Part of the issue is...you say you can't offer the new customer prices to existing customers. You'll offer nearly the same prices if I call and tell you I want to leave.

  • ccman210 Brady (@ccman210) reported

    @The__Farmster @bt_uk Same for Virgin Media here in Ireland. **** existing customers we want new ones only. I canceled my service and had the wife sign up as a new customer.
