    @financialombuds can I get out of my @virginmedia contract with no costs due to their complete failure to provide the service I pay for and refuse to deal with my issues

  • Pemble93 Stephen Pemble (@Pemble93) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia I’m moving house, your telephone message tells me to go online, online tells me to call. HELP.

  • MarkPashby Mark Pashby (@MarkPashby) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia still no connectivity at all for me in SS0. Running a successful ISP should also surely include upda ting customers when issues arrise. Internet connectivity in this day and age is a utility, not a nice to have. #virginmediadown

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    I am getting the serious **** with @virginmedia absolutely appalling service!!!

  • LyndaLy68271095 Lynda Lynch (@LyndaLy68271095) reported from Stone, England

    @virginmedia John I have sent a text as you have advised I don’t want to leave Virgin I have been a customer for many years however it’s very frustrating not being able to get a signal in my home

  • LyndaLy68271095 Lynda Lynch (@LyndaLy68271095) reported from Stone, England

    @virginmedia This was the message at 3.30 I will not be at my desk in a few minutes, do not worry I will pick this up once I am back at my desk, appreciate your patience. At 7.30 say wow long break. And you reply with the standard due to c19 blah blah then back to square one stupid questions

  • walshChanny Channy (@walshChanny) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia after changing to the cheapest package I received the biggest bill ever for international calls. Trying to resolve the problem is impossible. Please explain how to do it!

  • joana_ferreira1 Joana (@joana_ferreira1) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I've been without broadband this past 2 days😤its been weeks of instable Internet and now it doesn't work at all.I contacted customer service that always tell me that a engineer its solving the problem but still no Internet

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia A thousand times. On a chat all day yesterday and was promised someone would call me, no one did. To say this is the worst customer experience I have ever had would be an understatement.

  • thebooooooth Mark Booth (@thebooooooth) reported from Basildon, England

    So @virginmedia lie to you and then don't respond to you or follow up your phone request to make a complaint. Why did i ever leave Sky! The service has been shocking, wouldn't recommend Virgin to anyone

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    Another afternoon on to @virginmedia with absolutely no body willing to help. The customer service is as appalling as the service they provide. The sooner I can get back to @skytv the better #virginbroadband #virginmedia #con #ripoff

  • Cod49ers Marc Tobin (@Cod49ers) reported from Grays, England

    All ******* weekend on to @virginmedia about their shit service and absolutely nothing

  • LyndaLy68271095 Lynda Lynch (@LyndaLy68271095) reported from Stone, England

    @virginmedia can confirm that there is an ongoing works in your area to improve the connection. This has started yesterday night, but we don't have an estimate time for the fix. I also have checked that there is no nearby tower to get a connection from, so we don't have to do any troubleshoo

  • pussinpjs1 linda holmes (@pussinpjs1) reported from London, England

    No access to the Internet @virginmedia anyone else having problems

  • LyndaLy68271095 Lynda Lynch (@LyndaLy68271095) reported from Stone, England

    @pm1972 @virginmedia I feel your pain so far I’ve waited 3 days just to reset a password to read my mobile bill which I’m being charged for and not having any signal to text or call.😡🤬🤯

  • OptimiseOrDie Craig Sullivan (@OptimiseOrDie) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s back now but was out for about 36 hours in this area. Service kept dropping (I know, I checked the router logs). Hope you keep it running!

  • divadnoryb David A Byron (@divadnoryb) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia I cannot express just how disappointed I am with your service. My broadband has been dire for over a week now. Constantly dropping out, slow speeds and just not fit for purpose. First thing I’m doing is switching providers when this is all over. Never again virgin..

  • LyndaLy68271095 Lynda Lynch (@LyndaLy68271095) reported from Stone, England

    @virginmedia I only wanted a credit which has now been authorised. Shouldn’t have to ask when you know about the fault. Not good customer service you should automatically apply credit

  • MarkPashby Mark Pashby (@MarkPashby) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia i get it. Captalist country and therefore a fallacy to beleive we dont need you. You social media support responders are in jobs etc But really, VM broadband is a joke. Bring back telewest and the more personal service of old. #virginmediadown again

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ent_paparazzi EntPaparazzi (@ent_paparazzi) reported

    @virginmedia after agreeing a refund due to a complaint (I have the amount and complaint reference in email). Your 'resolutions team' now say they cannot see that agreement. So I won't get the refund..I can complain if I'm not happy this resolution. What's going on?

  • therealjimr0yle David S (@therealjimr0yle) reported

    @virginmedia I last called today. I called 2 weeks ago. I called before that and got hung up on. I raised a complaint last year. I challenged it not long after the account was active and was told 60 days. I was then told when it was applied I couldn’t cancel as my cooling off period elapsed.

  • ian_poppleton Ian Poppleton (@ian_poppleton) reported

    @virginmedia This was not our fault and we have wasted many hours on this. Customer loyalty means nothing 1997 to 2022.

  • samyidcharteris samantha (@samyidcharteris) reported

    @virginmedia pissing me off no end today… crap service… txt message saying we have just left you a voicemail message… bloody phone hasn’t even rung!!!! I’m holding my bloody phone!!!!!!! NO EFIN MESSAGE 🤬

  • stephena328 Stephena328@gmail.co (@stephena328) reported

    @thedogman_918 @virginmedia I don't know if Virgin do it, but my brother had similar problems with Sky and he threatened to cancel his subscription. They then bent over backwards to help and gave him free ad ons

  • pso_kt PsO kt (@pso_kt) reported

    @virginmedia No they said it was out of stock, phoned back multiple times and said still out of stock nationwide. I specifically asked for the maxit bundle with 1gb Internet as our router is awful. I've looked on my account and it says m600 Internet, if this is the case then I will be leaving

  • MartinH01846340 Martin Hughes (@MartinH01846340) reported

    @virginmedia How do u upgrade to the TV360 which seems to be better than Tivo Box? No option to do this on your website and nothing in this community help area either. Why as a customer from NTL days would I not be advised of this? Disappointing

  • moggie611 Morag🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧 (@moggie611) reported

    @thedogman_918 @virginmedia Unfortunately this seems to be common with several companies, poor service and kept hanging on working your way through a menu choice. 🤬

  • Stephen_Neal Stephen Neal (@Stephen_Neal) reported

    @virginmedia Right - so 17 days from first reporting the fault I'm still to expect 5% of the connection speed I'm paying for? What's the VM policy on refunds, as I'm clearly paying for a service I'm not currently receiving?

  • louise_crossing louise 🍃 (@louise_crossing) reported

    @virginmedia is it possible to speak to someone and an actual person rather than a bot? Have an issue that needs sorting and it's seeming impossible.
