    @virginmedia why is so hard to get in contact with you, it’s like you don’t want to help.

  • jdaykin Jerry Daykin (@jdaykin) reported from London, England

    @MichaeljonF Good question... just having a bit of an iffy connection last few weeks. I have a full on Google WiFi Mesh network... tried to iron out a couple of dubious hacks in the system... plus I’ve upgraded the core hub to the Nest WiFi Router now. Starting to suspect it’s Virgin Media 😂

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia Hardwired is OK Wi-Fi is always rubbish and so can't connect to watch Netflix you tube it to other boxes as V6 primarily use Wi-Fi and not cable. Poor choice. A total waste of my 130 month and thousands on #4k #oled @LGUK TV I bought

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia It’s been awful. The connection is sporadic at best.

  • Tiger118118 Thomas Hapgood (@Tiger118118) reported from Basildon, England

    Hope @virginmedia fix it before 9 because @LoveIsland Final is on at 9 😖😖😖😖😖

  • Knocker75 Karen Holmes (@Knocker75) reported from Dartford, England

    @virginmedia my mums tv/broadband went down at 8.30pm last night, you said it would be back up and running by 12.30am, still not working this morning she’s been told it should be back in at 4.30pm today. No mention of the problem! #ridiculous #compensation

  • Alanpw1955 Alan Wilton (@Alanpw1955) reported from London, England

    @MannersJack @virginmedia Mine’s ok and I’m in London. Maybe it’s a local problem, it happens sometimes.

  • mikelondonse Mike Keogh (@mikelondonse) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia This is Another box down the bottom of Vicar's hill. Your guys can repair both in the same trip! Enjoy....!

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia There are no faults in my area. The issue is likely to be with the router as the 2.4ghz works consistently on other devices.

    @itsnoel @RantAbulus @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Yeah I’m happy with this one. The Hub I had previously was dog shit. Normally get a bit quicker then what Speed Test got tonight, can hit 390Mbps from time to time.

  • wn1wn1 jonathan walden (@wn1wn1) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

  • alansbrown alan brown (@alansbrown) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @virginmedia I was some time ago but that was because I had entered my number I don't know what number they tried to call as they would not tell me so poor it really is and after 15 years 🤣

  • thombie123 John Thombs (@thombie123) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia It’s not if you fell short, you guys did fall short . I cancelled my service and it should have been cutoff on the 10th March not the 10th of Feb. all I wanted to here that it was going to be restored. #untrustworthy

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Blolol Balal (@Blolol) reported

    @virginmedia existing customer and did a renewal on TV, net and phone line end of October 2020, reduced total monthly bill - had an email to say there'll be a £3.50 increase from march 2021. I'm sure I've read deals after 20th June or something are unaffected. Please fix this.

  • SG4T4SG Sarah Ganfield (@SG4T4SG) reported

    @virginmedia can you let me know the phone number for disabled / visually impaired customer helpline please?

  • Robert_Ze_Bruce Rob (@Robert_Ze_Bruce) reported

    @virginmedia why is it I can ring your sales team and get through in minutes, but when I use your messaging service about an overcharge, I wait 6 hours for one reply and never hear from them again? 3 days of trying with no resolution.

  • dborrow88 Darren Borrow (@dborrow88) reported

    @TomoTheTechie @jukeyz Virgin Media will have a duty of care to him as a customer. I'd recommend probably moving from a consumer line to a business line in order to get them to take the issue more seriously due to the amount of times this is happening, if they cannot help then move ISPs to 1 that will

  • Octavesymphony Anunitha Thomas (@Octavesymphony) reported

    @virginmedia "the team" didn't mention, this was an the BOT that responds when you call. Unless that's what you mean by team. Yup, guess noone is going to pick up tonight after 3.5 hrs. Really really displeased with the service

  • palace65 Chris Curtis (@palace65) reported

    @virginmedia My initial question is can I cancel my contract

  • SanguineVoyage Stefen Radyk (@SanguineVoyage) reported

    @virginmedia #stayconnected I have been charged £35 activation fee which should be free. I spent an hour on phone to be told that CS can't help which is ridiculous. I have my original order email I can forward for proof. Where can I send this to get a resolution please?

  • Octavesymphony Anunitha Thomas (@Octavesymphony) reported

    @virginmedia I can't get through to "your team" via text or the phone line!! Hence why I'm out here asking for support

  • LadySodbury pam (@LadySodbury) reported

    @paulsmith7001 @virginmedia Same problem here too

  • danreyner Danny Reyner (@danreyner) reported

    @virginmedia just a quick one any reason why the on the go app on the computer has registered the same device 4 times and won’t let me watch. Your help pages are useless so what’s going on??!
