  • 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 😂

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

    Great timing, the @virginmedia box has gone down. #isolation

  • andreas_krieg Dr Andreas Krieg (@andreas_krieg) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @virginmedia It still comes and goes. Absolutely unreliable to work from home when I get kicked out of conference calls because the broadband is down. This is very poor after almost 12 hours! #WorkFromHome

  • LukasDiSparrow i hate you (@LukasDiSparrow) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia YOU **** HEADS JUST HANGED UP ON ME WHEN I WANTED TO CANCEL!!!!!!!!!!

  • Kadz_FN Kadz (LF Duo) (@Kadz_FN) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia fix ur internet plz I’m getting 25% packet loss on upload side and my upload speed in half

  • MCPlatt Marie-Claire (@MCPlatt) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia just been on hold to your business help line for AN HOUR and then just cut off and told to hang up. All our staff at home /1

  • LukasDiSparrow i hate you (@LukasDiSparrow) reported from Camberwell, England

    @virginmedia YOU DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE!!!!!!!! AND IF YOU DO YOU PUT ME ON HOLD AND HANG UP!!!!!!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡

  • apoltix Christian Rasmussen (@apoltix) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Both wired and wireless. I’ve reset the hub a few days ago and it’s just as slow after. I have made no changes to my setup.

  • The_Photographr Imran ® (@The_Photographr) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @CurlyTazzi @BelleDameFolle @ThreeUK @virginmedia I haven’t had anything but great service from them. Blistering fast internet speeds all the time and never an outage in 4 years. Must be your dodgy area.

  • Ashishpatel1972 🧑🏿‍🦼Ash Patel🧑🏿‍🦼 (@Ashishpatel1972) reported from Croydon, England

    @harispurs82 @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Hence my point initially being Brandon owns a fraction of VM I don’t see them doing what Sky have done for for their customers. @skytv are far better for customer service.

  • PinnellWilliam William Pinnell (@PinnellWilliam) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @virginmedia four days for an engineer to come and install a new router! Awful service for those of us having to work from home.

  • CraydenSue Sue Crayden (@CraydenSue) reported from Leatherhead, England

    @virginmedia not very happy with your customer service, why would I pay for something that is not being broadcast

  • damawa42 Daniel W (@damawa42) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia Your text service can only provide exactly the same info as the status page, so please refrain from wasting people's time by recommending they use it to receive further updates. Waste of my time, waste of their time.

  • TheOliveRoomsE9 The Olive Rooms (@TheOliveRoomsE9) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia y ya our service is absolutely shocking. Been on hold for 22 minutes, sent messages no replies. Will be cancelling

  • tvarsanyi Toby Varsanyi (@tvarsanyi) reported from Tottenham, England

    @virginmedia No there are no issues and it seems to be working again now. The service of late has become really inconsistent and unreliable.

  • SophieHTayler Sophie (@SophieHTayler) reported from Bromley, England

    @virginmedia Online it says no issues, on the phone it says there are issues in this area

  • GMarshall556 gary marshall556 (@GMarshall556) reported from Ashtead, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can answer the phone as I need to cancel my sky sports subscription!!!

  • MCPlatt Marie-Claire (@MCPlatt) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia and internet not working in the office so no one can work remotely. Huge problem for a charity please can you sort!!! /2

  • AlexHNGilbert Alex H.N.Gilbert (@AlexHNGilbert) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia I need someone to come round and fix my bullshit Wi-Fi please. I’ve tried calling a million times. No luck

  • AlexHNGilbert Alex H.N.Gilbert (@AlexHNGilbert) reported from Islington, England

    @virginmedia @trevkaneswaran Mine is brand new and cannot transmit a Wi-Fi signal twenty feet into the next room, and no, I don’t live in a bomb shelter lined with lead. Your customer service is appalling and your kit is shit

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ND_Evans Nat Eva (@ND_Evans) reported

    @virginmedia The tests usually say no service issues. The phone line has not worked for years. It hasn’t been an issue as I don’t use the landline until the other day I needed to place an emergency call and had to borrow the Neighbours phone. Is there someone I can email

  • Greig_M Greig MacBride (@Greig_M) reported

    @virginmedia phoned back to make a complaint in regards to customer service received, couldn't be given reference number for call and then hung up on, thought i was being reasonable? I'll add to the list of frustration clearly, can I be DM'd to get me some assistance please.

  • Markjoh67333745 Mark johnson (@Markjoh67333745) reported

    @virginmedia Ok 4 weeks of issues, I have now finally got a replacement tv box all ok. I have still not been phoned back by a manager to discuss compensation for the poor tv service for the month prior and now charged for my phone use to report to customer services. Not Happy.

  • 1234Makin Kyle M (@1234Makin) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the advice, but I shouldnt have to use an app to ‘optimise’ my connection to your services. Your services should already be optimised on my devices without the need of an app to do that for me. Is there any other way you could help?

  • Rigarray ᴄʀᴀɪɢ ᴘᴀʀʀʏ - Ⓟⓐⓩⓩ (@Rigarray) reported

    @virginmedia please can you explain why the broadband and TV service we are paying for in the CF38 area has been down all day? This has been happening regularly over the last few weeks. This poor service continuing is unacceptable and all you say is an engineer is working on it

  • msajiqbal sajid iqbal (@msajiqbal) reported

    @virginmedia We have identified the issue and sent a signal to the hub call back if it doesn’t work in a couple of days .... I obv thought logging a complaint back in jan might get soemone to deal with it you have seen the response I got so you think it resolves the issue?

  • DangleLager DangleLager (@DangleLager) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you. I’ve ran a test. All appears to be okay with the service. Both laptops are close to the router and as we’re both having connection problems with our work networks we wondered if it was a router issue.

  • HotshotMcG Adam McGuinness (@HotshotMcG) reported

    @virginmedia Hahaha. Do you know how .any times you have said 'we aim to resolve this (insert time frame) '. I have had 3 managers promising to phone me in the last 3 weeks. Not one did. It is absolutely unbelievable how badly you treat your customers. My DD goes out in a few days.

  • ArtCamyla camyla sikora art (@ArtCamyla) reported

    Misled to signing a long term contract with #virginmedia during my 6 month rental agreeing the contract would carry on in the new place, now I’ve found out they don’t offer service in my new neighbourhood & are charging a £200 cancellation fee. Anyone else thinks this is unfair?
