  • sarainh2o Sara Rainwater (@sarainh2o) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    .@virginmedia my Virgin TV Go app hasn’t worked in 2 months. No luck uninstalling and reinstalling it, nor when I called your tech support for help. Any ideas?

  • evac90 Eva Collingwood (@evac90) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I need to order a booster ASAP! The ‘100MB’ WiFi i apparently have doesn’t even reach my office upstairs. No surprises when I go to order one online there’s a waiting list...how long am I likely to wait? Surely if all your customers need a booster, there’s an issue??

  • 303marty Martin Donovan ⚒⚒ 🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@303marty) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Another nuisance call from Virgin overseas..Disgraceful...telling me I was going to get the Boxing channel as I was a valued customer all for another an extra £8 a month..You have had one warning do something about it or I will report you.........

  • Tommy_Doyle Tommy Doyle 💙 (@Tommy_Doyle) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Hi, had a call this morning allegedly from you saying my internet service was compromised and malware was being downloaded, then proceeded to ask questions which I refused to answer. Was it you lot?

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

    @virginmedia With 20 devices connected to reinstall? What's? This is a solution? Wow thanks

  • Ean_I Ean Irwin (@Ean_I) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia 2 minutes to go in the Champions League final and everything has gone down! Expected fix time 16:00 tomorrow. Are you serious!

  • MrGarySmith Gary Brian Smith (@MrGarySmith) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia **** knows? Can’t trust any appointments you make anyway... still waiting for her to phone back again 4th time lucky that she won’t cut me off again eh?

  • Bomber_RBS ML Shelton (@Bomber_RBS) reported from Gravesend, England

    @skytv @virginmedia get your fecking **** together and agree a deal with @disneyplus

  • jeanrauwers Jean Rauwers (@jeanrauwers) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia getting these emails saying “we are sorry you are leaving” but I didn’t cancel my service with you guys. Should I be worried about it?

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

    @virginmedia i have an issue on my broadband...just 2 after i complaint against a openreach engineering. what a coincidence!

  • tolu_____ Tolu (@tolu_____) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia How about just provide me a link to download the less than 10mb of pdf? Admin fee to provide a link or email a customer of over 3years? What have you offered me in return for the many times of INTERRUPTED service when I’ve had to turn to my mobile hotspot?

  • evac90 Eva Collingwood (@evac90) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Like I said, I have tried to call but just get an automated service that directs me to the website

  • Rex_Comms Terri (@Rex_Comms) reported from London, England

    Sad in these times when a friend is forced to move home because her mortgage company won’t help her & now @virginmedia are charging her well over £200 as a disconnection fee. To leave a home she doesn’t actually want to leave.

  • SarahWaygood Sarah Waygood 💙 (@SarahWaygood) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia please could someone contact me. On hold for 20 minutes. No TV service.

  • jim_dawes James Dawes (@jim_dawes) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia no broadband, WiFi or TV services in the SE7 area until 5pm today is completely unacceptable for people working from home. Engineering faults should not be happening during the day. £8 compensation is absolute peanuts. Very poor indeed.

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

    @virginmedia Or need please an email where I can wrote to solve some problems. Absurd can't communicate

  • owensirons93 Andrew Owen (@owensirons93) reported from Corringham, England

    @virginmedia any reason why you still haven’t fixed our phone lines? Been down for 3 months now so I’ll be expecting a reimbursement. Also expect a reimbursement due to the fact your failing to supply the minimum download speed

  • evac90 Eva Collingwood (@evac90) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried to call but just get automated, I’ve tried livechat but they say I can’t order a booster through that service. What am I mean to do? I just want a lead time on the booster. Why can nobody give me that?

  • feyipuk Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia Signal as a whole; router drops to less than 1kbps and remote IP changes like it's trying to reconnect. A power cycle seems to correct it but think I'll need some watchdog program and remote switch to do that if the signal drops and I'm away from the house.

  • daviduaregod paul davis (@daviduaregod) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia I want to upgrade as I had problems with my income but I can’t do it online don’t say nothing about my next package it’s. A disgrace I can’t phone as it cost me

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • N3v48 Neville Holland (@N3v48) reported

    @virginmedia Of course this is the go to fix for all internet issues. Along with the router all of the devices were reset. Wifi sign drops frequently, but the bandwidth is normal as soon as it reconnects.

  • TheRegista56 Sean Jones (@TheRegista56) reported

    @virginmedia No. I’m going to need you as the service providers - who I pay for my service - to provide a technical response. Cant see what use I will get from a forum where everyone else is having problems but are also being ignored. This is a technical issue of your making.

  • Kwamz28 Huh? (@Kwamz28) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, my problem is how can I live 5 mins from your main headquarters yet I'm only getting ⅒ the speed I'm promised?

  • GarethKerrigan Gareth Kerrigan (@GarethKerrigan) reported

    @MartinSLewis @virginmedia are OK but I've had a problem or 2 which they fixed slowly. The biggest problem is the rising prices which they do way to often.

  • Borderland77 Matt Simensky (@Borderland77) reported

    @virginmedia hello. I currently have 2 complaints with you. I lodged them a month ago and have not had a response. Happy to share the complaint numbers over a dm if you can help. Please don't ask me to call customer services. I don't have the stomach!

  • billy406 Billy Lenihan (@billy406) reported

    @virginmedia Reset the router a number of times. Have been told it’s an outside fault by customer services

  • John_gjones John Griffith-Jones (@John_gjones) reported

    @virginmedia I understand the equipment situation but I have upgraded my router to mirror the performance and make sure I can use 1gb on my network. I got around 950mb when I first got it so the problem is not my end. It has also made the news about people getting poor speeds from virgin.

  • pantha007 Craig Groves (@pantha007) reported

    @virginmedia My wifi is appauling (SH3). After running the "Network diagnostic tool" it tells me all my devices are too far away (including the ones in the same room as the SH3). Ihave been trying to phone to no avail (as live chat seems no longer available), please help

  • StuartGlass6 Stuart Glass (@StuartGlass6) reported

  • gazzaflint1971 Gary Flint (@gazzaflint1971) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry but as of your engineer your talking rubbish! If a Xmas tree can block the signal how the he'll does it go through brick walls? And belive it or not we have not got tree up now as its Feb.
