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

    @virginmedia No show yesterday over 2 hours lost time today trying to sort out the item which ironically are apart of an agreement with @virginmedia to resolve slow speeds and #badcustomerservice. Looks like you don’t ever listen back to your own training recorded conversations...

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

    @virginmedia By all means better start reading up on the #badcusyomerservice I’ve had since 2020 about March? Virgin still hasn’t fulfilled it resolution agreement mad back in Nov 2020 and have had to chase and hound you with up to 7 calls as staff which should be able to, can’t get it right!

  • emilymorgan_x Em💛 (@emilymorgan_x) reported from Basildon, England

    Hi @virginmedia I wonder if you can help me? I'm looking to access the subtitles on a movie I have just paid to download...that essential service doesn't seem to be available? Thank you 🦋 #Deaf #deaf #HearingLoss

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

    @virginmedia We agreed after 2 years of slow service you’d upgrade my 2 TiVo boxes to V6 and bring 3 pods to cover dead zones agreed in Nov last year and after 3 missed appointments and you calling me 3 days to confirm the work to do & you still **** it up. #fuckwits

  • kec1964 Kate Crisp (@kec1964) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia hi I have 2 WiFi boosters that I’ve never used and would like to return them but can’t face hanging on for hours to speak to someone on your helpline. Is there an address you can give me?

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

    @virginmedia Furthermore I’ll not be renewing my @O2 contract when they merge with Virgin bad enough with on #showerofshit can’t be dealing with it on my mobile as well.

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

    @virginmedia @VirginVoyages Beware they Virgin operate and tell you one thing when you call customer services you may end up on on a 2 week cruise on the Woolwich ferry

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

    @virginmedia YOU USELESS #***** two years of problems, of no shows after no show, today was to be the day it was all sorted yet you manage to ***** up a simple install job. You confirmed to me what was to be installed yet the engineer wasn’t told! #fuckwits

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

    Beware anyone thinking of joining @O2 they’ve just hiked up their rates and limited free data total usage when in Europe #ripoff also just merged with @virginmedia so expect the service to fall of a cliff when the call centres are rerouted to virgins Singapore call centres

  • gorgeousuk anne hill (@gorgeousuk) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia can you tell me why we had internet issues for the last three days which are now solved, but I still cannot get Netflix, iPlayer, Amazon prime video or Now Tv. I am sick of paying for extra tv services I cannot access. Would you like to refund me for these days?

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

    @virginmedia Yeah and speak to a snr complaints Mgr which I’ve attempted 3 times, been promised a call back in 48 hours and each time never got one… seems like they’ve not been trained to use your own phones! #saynotobadcustomerservice

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

    @virginmedia You keep sending me emails and texts confirming what we agreed which are wrong…still how many times can you get this wrong… for a communications company you sure are bad at it!

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

    @virginmedia Hi I called yesterday and was told my poor Internet connection is due to fault F009107079 even though this does not come up on the service status page? So I can’t track it and see when this will be fixed can you help?

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Can you see if fix eta for fault F09107079 is Monday 12th July please

  • 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?

  • Dave_CAFC Dave Hammond (@Dave_CAFC) reported from Crayford, England

    @virginmedia your platform is useless it is constantly going down how are people supposed to run businesses with such white #virginmedia #garbage

  • 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?

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • athousandproj Graeme (@athousandproj) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. Looks fine at the moment. The issue is that it drops for 5 to 10 mins or so. Does not seem like much, but is a real problem when in a meeting. Sometimes just restarting to router works , sometimes I just have to wait. Never had this many outages when with BT.

  • BigBobScott Bob Scott (@BigBobScott) reported

    @virginmedia Tried that and the customer service is shocking. I’ve been waiting 6 months. Can you please get a manager to call me!!!

  • vmbusinesshelp Customer Service (@vmbusinesshelp) reported

    @tweeny17 @vmbusiness I do apologies for this, that is not how we should be speaking with customers, especially when they're already frustrated with service issues

  • michaelahn94 Michael Keunhwi Ahn (@michaelahn94) reported

    @virginmedia Seriously ridiculous to ask me to pay £250 in early disconnection fee when I am cancelling because you simply do not provide service for my new flat? Would have made sense if the flat had a virgin media line. This is not how you treat your loyal customer of 2+ yrs

  • Chocuk24 Jax Chocy (@Chocuk24) reported

    @virginmedia Net & Phone is down in KY1 area, can't contact Virgin because theres no phone line, looked on shortages map nothing showing, been down for over 40 minutes now

  • anzalaena Anzalaena Peerbaccus (@anzalaena) reported

    @virginmedia You know what it's frustrating. Finally fixed but can we ha e least more than one month we don't get any problems with phone line?

  • jamie58700140 jamie (@jamie58700140) reported

    @virginmedia I have already done that many times and been promised each time that it will be done / without fail and then no resolution. Hence my complaint & tweet. Very disappointing

  • InvisibleElf Invisible Elf (@InvisibleElf) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you. Please can you pass this down to customer service team as that's all we wanted to do. I don't want to take over the account, I just want to be able to speak to them about my own number. I'll get him to ring up and sort it 👍

  • Footbalifantasy Robboc (@Footbalifantasy) reported

    @virginmedia No they didn't and i did ask what the problem was, their response was that they didn't know and the expect it to clear it self.

  • VicusScurra Ken Phillips (@VicusScurra) reported

    @virginmedia Here is a line from my latest email to them: My primary complaint is about the lack of communication, particularly from the installation team. Your remedy for this is for me to contact the installation team.
