  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia Yes it says there is a known fault which has been going on since Friday at 7pm. No further explanation and the estimate fix just keeps resetting. It is absolutely unacceptable.

  • sophieholmes_ sophie (@sophieholmes_) reported from Horley, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm what the issue is with wifi in the RH6 area please?

  • Angelaf61260621 Angie💙 (@Angelaf61260621) reported from Redhill, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp appalling service again from your customer services team. 84 year old disabled lady. Has a call system, which is now connected through broadband. Delayed installation! When installed constant problems! 1/2

  • SamuelGoddard17 Samuel Goddard (@SamuelGoddard17) reported from Crawley, England

    @zeninternet after 15 years. 5 phone calls later, 3 hours of being on hold, I have finally managed to cancel my @virginmedia account. Look forward to using my new internet connection with you!

  • ItsKatieC0mpt0n 凱蒂 (@ItsKatieC0mpt0n) reported from Crawley, England

    @virginmedia so a tech drills through my hot water pipe, you send a plumber that takes 4 hours to fix, he’s only just left and the pipes are still leaking. Can’t get hold of anyone & it’s ruining my flooring & personal items! What am I supposed to do at this time of the evening??

  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    Hi @virginmedia any news on why our broadband and TV haven't worked since 7pm yesterday in Burgess Hill? No comms and status update just says you are aware with an expected fix moving on in time...

  • LemmyBarnett 𝙇𝙚𝙢𝙢𝙮 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙩 🎮🕹️🚀 (@LemmyBarnett) reported from Horley, England

    @virginmedia I now have another broadband supplier. You make it too hard to cancel. A 30 minute phone call, just to be told to ring back in FIVE DAYS time because "the system is down".

  • Mrs_Spurs_1882 Lisa 💜💜 (@Mrs_Spurs_1882) reported from Horley, England

    @virginmedia trying to report a landline fault. Your web help couldn't be anymore unhelpful and I can stand anymore of your on hold music on the phone. Please advise on what I can do.

  • deanwoods Dean Woods (@deanwoods) reported from Horley, England

    @virginmedia we're getting really slow WiFi speeds on all Apple devices using the new Hub 3.0. Android devices are okay. It's just iPhones and iPads that are on a go slow. Any advice/tips to solve this?

  • StitchMusicGFI Stitch Music (@StitchMusicGFI) reported from Crawley, England

    @virginmedia We have spoke to everyone… you’re just doing a bad job… you need to sort your staff because they’re all lazy bastards who clearly just can’t be bothered… it’s been 2 months… you credit our account but that doesn’t make up for it

  • Angelaf61260621 Angie💙 (@Angelaf61260621) reported from Redhill, England

    @virginmedia That's who I've been talking to. Spoke to Sabine who has fixed it I think for 4th March. 2 others who couldn't help me, of which was rude and uncaring. All told me different things. It appears its an area fault, which the first one didn't confirm

  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia This is still appalling customer service. I have to register (I did this when things were down in Dec for almost 72 hours), I have to alert etc you are the service provider. How is it good CS that we assume you are lying in estimates? No compensation for Dec either.

  • EntertainerJoel JoelTheEntertainer (@EntertainerJoel) reported from Redhill, England

    Virgin media services are down my internet is okish! Can’t access to the virgin media websites to find out what’s going on! Only to find out on virgin media tweets that there is a problem everywhere and is currently fixing it as I tweet!

  • dannyb0y1969 Danny Wootton (@dannyb0y1969) reported from Crawley, England

    @virginmedia woke up to no internet this morning, can't get an engineer slot until SATURDAY morning 😰😰😰 do u think being without the internet for FOUR full days is even remotely acceptable? Utterly shocking service. Disgusting.

  • iamnotthelotus Geoff Low (@iamnotthelotus) reported from Redhill, England

    Usual brilliance from VirginMedia, announce via SMS that they will be working in the area on the 13th and internet may be unstable, it was fine all day. Today however....

  • alibeeson Alison Braganza 🌟💙 (@alibeeson) reported from Crawley, England

    @virginmedia Thanks John. This is really poor service though, when we called your customer services yesterday they said there was no problem & nothing they could do. An estimated fix date? For your deaf and hard of hearing customers, this isn’t good enough I’m afraid @scope @RNID

  • sospainter 🅿🅰🆄🅻 🅲🅾🅻🅻🅸🅴🆁 (@sospainter) reported from Redhill, England

    TWITTER HELP PLEASE Want to bin @virginmedia after 20 odd years loyal usage. Ideally just need a broadband service. How do you go about it. Don’t want to be left with no broadband.

  • korondijoco korondi joco (@korondijoco) reported from Horley, England

    @virginmedia Can that diagnose problems with the router?

  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England

    @virginmedia But why do we have to keep looking for information. Is there no way of updating the customer directly, it is appalling customer communication. What is the problem? Why just keep putting estimates? If it isn't going to be fixed for 48 hours tell us.

  • XxRouseyUkxX David Rouse (@XxRouseyUkxX) reported from Crawley, England

    @virginmedia I have it keep happening even when your status page saying there is no issues could it be the modem is faulty

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Eks24 Dr Emma-Kate Yates (@Eks24) reported

    @virginmedia I have been put on a 30 cancellation but still receiving alerts to pay my account - I am not going to pay £120 for services I rang up to cancel in Jan and have not used since. i have logged a compliant to try and get the debt removed but I am concerned about my credit rating

  • GBateson23 Gavin Bateson (@GBateson23) reported

    @virginmedia That doesn't give any offers as maxed out. Doesn't give you the option to downgrade on the website. The advisor has offered me the same with a £20 discount but keep old kit, router terrible BTW. No loyalty to existing customers, no incentive to retain custom.

  • AmyMarieWalsh Amy Walsh (@AmyMarieWalsh) reported

    @virginmedia how do I speak to a human at VM? I phone and it just says there's an outage in my area and hangs up. These outages are affecting the whole Street and it's EVERY SINGLE DAY. We need planning and construction to come and fix asap or there will be group action.

  • TheScouseMouse Aidan (@TheScouseMouse) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, it says no known issues after running a test, but the woman I spoke to said people in my area were having problems, this was a few hours ago though and nothing has changed yet

  • kimbokoo1 kimberley mitchell (@kimbokoo1) reported

    @virginmedia Brilliant customer service!! Your a media company and yet I’ve done both things you have suggested and nothing no response and no person,

  • jgoodliffe_ James Goodliffe (@jgoodliffe_) reported

    @barrettg93 @virginmedia I will be at this rate, they continue to impress me at how awful they are

  • kimbokoo1 kimberley mitchell (@kimbokoo1) reported

    @virginmedia And what about your brilliant text service you offer that just sends the same automated responses for 3 hours why offer a service of you can’t provide it

  • robbydesigns RobbyDesigns (@robbydesigns) reported

    @virginmedia @BWFC1982 Can i text that number about my problem?

  • MissingMarshall Richard (@MissingMarshall) reported

    @virginmedia I've called twice to cancel, you ask me security questions then transfer me to whoever can actually cancel, then it goes silent you cut me off both times. @virginhelp

  • markbishopuk MB (@markbishopuk) reported

    @virginmedia Even when the customer negotiated a fixed price deal and the call centre operative tells them the price is locked in for 18 months?
