    In a world that runs on the net if you are a @virginmedia customer you have to wait 4 days for an engineer to fix a modem, installed only in November 2018. IT’S NOT A JOKE!!! Thank you for letting me loose a day of work and 3 days worth of studying. #virginbroadband

  • ValetShoeDoc Valet@Shoe-Doc (@ValetShoeDoc) reported from Romford, England

    @virginmedia Virgin Boardband why for the last 3 THURSDAY in a row that there is a Boardband outage in the RM26QD area. We work in a society where companies allow working from home. Called Customer Service who was just reading a script and repeating himself. Sort it out Virgin

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mornay07 Ray McLean (@mornay07) reported

    @virginmedia must renew my existing package. Been with Virgin for 15 years. Told by my Virgin contact that as an existing customer I cannot benefit from the online Black Friday deals. If this is correct, not the best way to treat customers in a cost of living crisis. Just saying!

  • WMKernel Wintermute Kernel (@WMKernel) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, yes this has been a problem all week and continues today. It was better for a bit this morning, teams was at times unusable this afternoon. All the lights on my modem indicate things are fine, but they’re clearly not.

  • hfiennes Hugo Fiennes (@hfiennes) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to change my login email for a week now. Automated system doesn’t work (verification emails are pre-expired, it seems) and support claim to have fixed but I still can’t login with the new address. Help!

  • Chez_00515 Cheryl Hughes (@Chez_00515) reported

    @virginmedia my contract renews in March, can I cancel the contract earlier & how much will it cost please?

  • AnneCBurchett Anne Burchett (@AnneCBurchett) reported

    @virginmedia No order or appointment are showing on my online account. It’s now been more than 24 hours. Please don’t tell me I need to call customer service again.

  • tweetheart4711 Helen McCarthy (@tweetheart4711) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you for letting me know that Virgin and not the customer decides what level of disruption is acceptable. The customer of course can vote with their wallet.

  • jAvery68918708 j Avery (@jAvery68918708) reported

    @virginmedia I contacted VM re a new package as my contract finishes end dec. I didn’t expect to be charged to renew my contract. Not only is it poor quality customer service it says nothing for my +25 years loyalty with VM

  • victor50 Kev (@victor50) reported

    @virginmedia It would appear my property but how would I know? Online it says no issue reported, on the phone it says apologies for the delay in fixing.

  • idontdodisco Mark Edwards (@idontdodisco) reported

    @virginmedia Hey, my tivo box is refusing to connect with any hdmi channel on my smart tv. Help me to fix it before I cancel the contract. Thanks.
