    @virginmedia your service checker isn’t working. Can you please advise of service issues in the N1 area as the broadband has gone down again? Thank you.

    Lusitano71 (@Lisboadolphin71) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia no services for all 5 days now! Your customer care is appalling! And, apparently, nothing is wrong, according to your website. Bad!!

  • niroknox
    Niro Knox (@niroknox) reported from Potters Bar, England

    @richardbranson virgin media U.K. business service is appalling , customer service and tech support are lying, promising callbacks just to get you off the line, 3 weeks no service my business is chaos, my SLA is 12 hours yet no one to talk to fault: F010324227 No one is helping

  • emmalouchu
    Emma Churcher-Holt (@emmalouchu) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Even this link isn't working. Takes me to the auto bot/live chat messaging service which has no use at all as no one is actually responding.

    Mira Burton (@MiraBur44156853) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia It went down about 45mins ago again and came back about 20mins later.

  • Barchetta66
    Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Islington, England

    @Whiskey_Mick @virginmedia We’ve just had the same experience - waited 8 days. Not a word from them. Not a human spoken to. If I had another choice I’d drop them. 0/10 for customer service.

  • Mrspdyer
    Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England

    @virginmedia @mundaytom Not true. No response to complaint letter sent August and when we’ve rung “manager will call you in 3-5 days”. Been told that 3 times. Not one callback. Shambles.

  • sam_batty
    Sam Batty (@sam_batty) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Just spend over an hour on live chat/phone. Your service means we’ll be nearly two weeks without internet!

  • sallyhhk
    SallyH (@sallyhhk) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia 3 hours of online chat and I’m still haven’t managed to cancel my subscription. Why is it so difficult??

  • DerrickSWB
    Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England

    @virginmedia The uplink is failing and it’s being denied access to the network as it’s poking and failing

  • islingtonlloyd
    Lloyd Child (@islingtonlloyd) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Hi, yes I did. But still no service before I left home. Online service checker just said problems with TV & Broadband in my postcode area. Currently not at home, but will check upon my return.

  • Editmonster
    Stewart Daniels (@Editmonster) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia got a bit of issue which has been doing on for two weeks and now been told it need to go to Networks Team , is there anyway of knowing when this repair will happen

  • essojohn
    Johnny Allen 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧⚒WHU (@essojohn) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @virginmedia You have given me a number 0345 454 111 which doesn't exist come on this is getting ridiculous also tried 150 has no option 3 and takes me straight back to someone who wants to do a diagnostic check and I am also using a virgin phone just how bad does this get

  • PatricioSimone2
    Patricio Simonetto (@PatricioSimone2) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia wifi doesn’t work. It’s impossible to get in touch with them in the phone. The worst internet service I have had…

  • MannyMontanaro
    Manny Montanaro (@MannyMontanaro) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @virginmedia I won’t hold my breath fir that to happen. By the way, will @virginmedia still send me an invoice even though I’ve had no TV and ultra slow #broadband for a week? I think I already know the answer to that 🤔👎🏼

  • drawing_daily
    Steven Kraan 🐀 (@drawing_daily) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia internet down second day in a row, when will it work again?

  • WordDoodler
    𝚂𝚝𝚎𝚙𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝙵𝚒𝚝𝚣𝚜𝚒𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚜 (@WordDoodler) reported from Tottenham, England

    So it turns out @virginmedia have a help system that isn’t helpful. Catch-22 built into system and no tv. Why am I paying them?

  • DerrickSWB
    Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England

    @virginmedia Can someone advise how I fix the Wi-Fi pod which isn’t working with my new router - I had to upgrade at extra cost to receive new kit as the lead time was shorter than getting a competitor in #ThisIsWrong

  • essojohn
    Johnny Allen 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧⚒WHU (@essojohn) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    VIRGIN MEDIA beware over 25 yrs a customer, there customer service has hit rock bottom what an appalling company to deal with anybody had the same experience please pass on.

  • goonerlgh
    Lawrence ****** 🇺🇦 (@goonerlgh) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

Virgin Media Issues Reports

  • ACforReformUK
    AndyC (@ACforReformUK) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia This "quality" service is endemic in the UK these days, there's no accountability, if you got £50 for every aborted attempt, you can bet they'd get it done 1st time every time. OFCOM should punish these firms with huge fines and bring in accountability, otherwise this will just go on.

  • KibbyDan
    Dan (@KibbyDan) reported

    @IanLythgoe4 @virginmedia Why would you have to pay for it? It’s their issue? I still have no tv and I want an engineer to come and sort it because it’s ridiculous now. Im not paying anything. 5 days we have been without tv.

  • LongshanksE10
    Richard Astley (@LongshanksE10) reported

    @virginmedia Hey I was told earlier by customer services on IM that an engineer will come to fix or replace my WiFi hub on Friday, but I haven’t received any email or text confirmation. Will one be forthcoming?

  • ABabySeagull
    ABabySeagull🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@ABabySeagull) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I agree. Even when I had decided to leave, it would have been easy to escape from Alcatraz than cancel the contract. Never again!

  • Mikefromtheuk
    Mike (@Mikefromtheuk) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia They are truly terrible. If you simply want an internet connection and you don't have any problems, you might be okay, but as soon as anything goes wrong you hit their awful customer service. I had intermittent problems and it took months to get resolved, I then went to Sky asap.

  • 05jake5
    Jake T (@05jake5) reported

    @jomickane @Benleo @virginmedia Sky is alright, TV too expensive but internet by itself ok price. Good customer support too.

  • IciBigBen2
    Big Ben (@IciBigBen2) reported

    @jakebritishwall @virginmedia @Benleo Same here. They don’t give a **** about their customers. I avoid anything with Virgin name on it.

  • Monapics
    Monapics.com (@Monapics) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia They have been fined by the mediator in my case but still have not fixed a simple email issue. They have now been pulled up again to get it sorted from last year. Dealing with the Indian call centres have had no progress there, and only one person spoke understandable English

  • HeroesOfBritain
    Heroes Of Britain (@HeroesOfBritain) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia had a similar issue with sky a few years ago took them months to sort out a simple billing error

  • chris327759
    chris8854.bskysocial (@chris327759) reported

    @virginmedia No I’m aware of the power outage so all I want to do is watch tv which is fine. There’s no internet yet, it’s the message constantly flashing up on the screen that’s annoying. Once u have seen it once, u shouldn’t need to see it again, but every 10 seconds it’s there
