  • FatherFantaskis Dave Taskis (@FatherFantaskis) reported from Romford, England

    Hey @virginmedia you’ve been messing with our broadband in #RM11 for long enough. Get a grip, #revert the failed change and give us back our service. Why do this mid week when people are #WorkingFromHome ? Do it at a weekend.

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

    @virginmedia continue to having problems on broadband se6 london. 1 hr waiting someone answer at the phone or on chat. I seriously think to cancel my contract

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I have better things to do with my time than phoning @virginmedia The system should pick up on this. Virgin’s system is quick to chase me regarding the return of a bloody hub. Absolutely atrocious service.

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    Anyone else really struggling with slow speeds over the last 10 days with @virginmedia. It's been spot on for 2 years now and then 10 days it seems something has happened. Lucky to get over 10Mb now 🙈

  • kilomilesy colin miles (@kilomilesy) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia 11 days without a landline and 17 texts giving a time and date estimating the fix to be done by and failed every time. Oh well let’s see what tomorrow brings! Crap Virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia The engineer didn’t turn up today. I’ve been on hold for hours and still have no services. Please can someone help us?

  • chrisMU19 Chris (@chrisMU19) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had no internet for 6 hours. I’ve followed all online steps to fix it and none of them worked. Been on hold to 150 for 2 hours now. Can someone please assist?

  • tonywiseman1976 Tony Wiseman (@tonywiseman1976) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia The auto response system is terrible & apparently someone should have responded to my refund query & guess what? No one has bothered.

  • Inactive95 Neil (@Inactive95) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Your internet is still coming and going away. I need a tech out here to fix the problem as WiFi is connecting but no access to internet.

  • pauldurie p2.0 ✊🏻 🏳️‍🌈 #BLM (@pauldurie) reported from London, England

    @PippaCrerar @virginmedia If you're using a Virgin router I would buy another one as they're useless Main issue I found was they don't switch between 2.4GHz/5GHz very well If you want stronger signal then switch off 5GHz

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

    @virginmedia The engineer didn’t turn up today. I’ve been on hold for hours and still have no services. Please can someone help us?

  • chrisMU19 Chris (@chrisMU19) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m having issues connecting to WiFi this morning. Phone said I had weak security. I updated the security online, the warning message has gone but WiFi still not working. Can you assist please?

  • moebius1967 ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @bushontheradio Trying to get through to Virgin media to cancel the contract. Bloody chatbot isn't worth a ****

  • TheRealMrDrew G (@TheRealMrDrew) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia That issue fixed itself. However, this evening we're getting the same problem. This has been going on for the past week on and off. I'm now told that the issue is estimated to be fixed by 2pm tomorrow - the service we've received from Virgin has been particularly poor of late

  • GrandmasterAce1 kali ace (@GrandmasterAce1) reported from Grays, England

    Virgin media users any issues 😣?

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

    @virginmedia No. We still don’t have any internet or TV and haven’t spoken to anyone. @VodafoneUK have sorted us out with extra mobile data. Can you share an email address so I can make a formal complaint please.

  • rob_green86 Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England

    @westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!

  • PeterToohey Peter (@PeterToohey) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Don’t ya love your tv being down for the whole day during lockdown. Always the same with virgin media.

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

    @virginmedia still having problems in sE6 london

  • FatherFantaskis Dave Taskis (@FatherFantaskis) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Your phone line is saying you do. You had the system out of service for an area update for 24hours now. Who does that ?

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • garethjmitch Gareth Mitchell (@garethjmitch) reported

    @virginmedia Yes it's reported down and had been terrible for over a week. Aside from the broadband it's not acceptable to also lose the home phone, that should be 5 9's reliable and is a lifeline to elderly relatives

  • Teel0n HVND Troy (@Teel0n) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for coming back to me DB. Unfortunately I’ve been told by your team I have to wait until the 9th of November (18 days after the move request) to have my broadband installed on a ‘serviceable’ property. No temporary solution, no ability to exit contract without fees.

  • janinamnylund Janina Nylund (@janinamnylund) reported

    @virginmedia shocking service for new customers. Have been on hold for over 3 hours across two days and keep being passed to a different person who asks what the problem is. Infuriating.

  • sleepless_leon Leonard Oprea (@sleepless_leon) reported

    @CBYcmd @VirginMediaIE I'm gonna be more helpful than virginmedia support because lets be real I could say nothing and be more helpful but they said 12pm to me on the phone so maybe tomorrow?

  • justinewat12 Justine (@justinewat12) reported

    @virginmedia no warning.. internet has just gone down. I work from home and do not get paid if i am not working! Will you be paying me my days pay?

  • chaba_nature anna (@chaba_nature) reported

    @virginmedia You want to charge me £40 for the router that I would happily return to you, but despite several attempts, you have never sent the return box. How is that even legal?

  • HBGrifkuba Hanna-Barbera Wiki (@HBGrifkuba) reported

    @virginmedia Specifically, I'm watching your Cartoon Network videos, but when I watch them they are in SD.

  • charbster Charbster (@charbster) reported from Wandsworth, England

    @virginmedia do you have website issues? Chat function not responding.

  • sleepless_leon Leonard Oprea (@sleepless_leon) reported

    @virginmedia @RayLewi64511453 @VirginMediaIE They're useless, please send help

  • ChelseyAFC C🤌🏻🤌🏻 (@ChelseyAFC) reported

    @virginmedia We really have tried, they don’t seem to understand the issues we are facing, is there any chance we could ring somewhere where it would be possible to speak to someone in the UK?
