  • allanwebb69 Allan Webb (@allanwebb69) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia good to see you have added #DMAX at least just when going to cancel subscription due to lack of channels

  • EmzeeJaye Emily-jaye collins. (@EmzeeJaye) reported from Stafford, England

    Virgin media really need to pull their finger out. Don't boast a service that you simply cannot provide. What a bloody joke. #virginmedia #failmedia

  • moorland2 Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, England

    @virginmedia trying to contact you and all I keep getting is a stupid repetitive bot

  • iMeyrick Meyrick (@iMeyrick) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    Me to the controller after reconnecting to @vatsim for the 5th time in one flight due to the virgin media outage.

  • AlenaCopeland_1 Alena (@AlenaCopeland_1) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @Turnerandhooch @virginmedia Shocking service they are

  • Turnerandhooch turnerandhooch® (@Turnerandhooch) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @fslconsult Yes it’s shit I keep calling to cancel but keep getting cut off about every 40 minutes of hold . Brings a tear to my eye @virginmedia

  • Rocketman_86 Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Yes. No human tone. No customer service. The usual have you tried changing the batteries in your phone, could it be your handset etc ( they bought new ones 6/7 week ago thinking it was them) may be they should ask Virgin Media to reimburse them

  • EmzeeJaye Emily-jaye collins. (@EmzeeJaye) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia considering my number isn't on the directory and I've never given it out to anyone, it's funny how I am getting so many scam and cold calls.

  • Turnerandhooch turnerandhooch® (@Turnerandhooch) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @AlenaCopeland_1 @virginmedia I thought once maybe an accident but twice is *************** , I haven’t got online access never been sent a bill no emails so I’m ****** , gonna have to cancel direct debit

  • Rocketman_86 Rocketman_86 (@Rocketman_86) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Your a tech company and doesn't have an email address. Your live chat is laughable and waiting times on the phones is silly. Trying log into the account - forget password the username doesn't exist. The self help is insulting intelligence is the ringer switched on for instance

  • Turnerandhooch turnerandhooch® (@Turnerandhooch) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia Still no reply , direct debit now cancelled migjt@get a phone call now . Useless organisation never again

  • CJMontford Connor / MN (@CJMontford) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    Virgin Media is DOG AWFUL

  • booksandcomics StaffordBooks&Comics (@booksandcomics) reported from Stafford, England

    Right in the middle of hosting a virtual pub quiz with friends from around the world and our WiFi with @virginmedia cuts out. It’s been fine all the way through lock down, unsure why these past few days it has been awful...#virginmediadown

  • xTrustBandit #bandit4president (@xTrustBandit) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia u guys ******* suck . Worst internet UK

  • andyvic7 Andy Picken (@andyvic7) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @drummerwhitey @northernsky67 @virginmedia Steve it was a last resort for me but other avenues were fruitless, I ended up getting a visit from an engineer , a booster and a reduction in my tariff after I told them I’d leave , normal customer service is dreadful, keep on pushing them

  • beth_emma_ Beth Emma (@beth_emma_) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    This is ******* painful @virginmedia were in the middle of a lock down sort yourselves out 🤬

  • imandywelsh Andy Welsh 🍕 (@imandywelsh) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @virginmedia Don't worry you're rep is long gone! It was just the worst timing to rock up & block our extremely tight side road 👌🏻

  • chasplummer1 chas plummer (@chasplummer1) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England

    @virginmedia 2 days intermittent internet service. Website not available to register complaints

  • moorland2 Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, England

    If @virginmedia try and flog you 1 of these let me know, I’ve had them for 2 yrs and they have been nothing but crap from the get go

  • moorland2 Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, England

    We stopped paying @virginmedia the£90 for what in fairness was complete crap and have bought a Manhattan @FreeviewTV box and couldn’t be happier. We would never go back to virgin or sky for their overpriced TV service

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • themrsdmg Mrs McG (@themrsdmg) reported

    @virginmedia It keeps pixilating, over several different channels. HDMI cable was replaced on the last engineer visit, and he retuned something to fix it but it has started to happen again, over various channels.

  • Punkygirl1968 Julie (@Punkygirl1968) reported

    @virginmedia An area fault I think. But she keeps being told its fixed and the landline still isnt working. 3 technicians have turned up and said it will be working and it isnt. If she has a fall she cannot use her Careline service

  • TTQTKK7 Twofooted (@TTQTKK7) reported

    @virginmedia is it just coincidence that since you started charging more the service has gotten worse. Been using your website and gone through the call centre twice now and we have intermittent connectivity at best for last few weeks.

  • Johnny_Utah2000 JohnnyUtah (@Johnny_Utah2000) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I've called the automated service line and it didn't mention any area issues. The virgin media page ran a test on my hub, recommended I turn it off and check the cable connections, and then when it wasn't resolved, book an appointment with an engineer. Which I have.

  • del_forde Del Forde (@del_forde) reported

    @virginmedia No, I’ve raised a complaint. The team as you call them just love to constantly lie about the the date or cut the call off. The service I’ve received from Virgin has been a complete joke. How can it take over 3 months for installation

  • themrsdmg Mrs McG (@themrsdmg) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply. Of course, but to not even have an update after over an hour of waiting is rather poor. Tried again this morning, another hour of waiting to get connected, only for it to freeze as soon as it does! So frustrating!!!

  • calder82 Mark (@calder82) reported

    @virginmedia Why do others get a link to a chat to discuss and resolve? No new complaint was opened until was confirmed the other was ‘missing’. The new complaint got closed immediately.

  • graham_beeke Graham Beeke (@graham_beeke) reported

    @virginmedia That was the price after talking to them, even broadband alone couldn’t match price of a bundle of a new customer. Such a bad practice now leaving me with a bad experience of Virgin after all these years. Crazy thing is I can come back in 60 days as a new customer 🤯

  • Dilenk_Eren DilekEren (@Dilenk_Eren) reported

    @virginmedia It covers 8th March-6th April. Also, really confusing things happens. The direct debit payment for £69 was declined by my bank, barclays. Now I don’t have boardband connection because of payment issue. Additionally, I received an email from your resolvement team…

  • Connornet Connor (@Connornet) reported

    I’ve hated every moment being on @virginmedia for the past month or two. I called the cancellation team and she claimed she had issues with her system so will call back in 30 min. As she went to hang up she changed that to an hour. I’m now over an hour and no call. Let me go!
