    @virginhelp thanks for the help so far but I need to contact you again but is till have not received any response from virgin media. I have tried messaging through the media app with no joy either. I'm sending this at 09:30.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • guyrleech Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported

    @doctordns @zeninternet When I bought a wireless router after demoting my @VirginMedia one to cable modem only, I didn't think to get one also with 4G capability so I've got the 4G router is standalone in my lab although is connected via network cable too so don't have to WiFi to it

  • joe__johnson__ Joe Johnson (@joe__johnson__) reported

    The user experience of watching Sky Sports F1 on desktop if you're a @virginmedia customer is diabolical.

  • FanExperienceCo FanExperienceCompany (@FanExperienceCo) reported from Leeds, England

    @JRD3D4 @virginmedia Same here. Almost daily issues (& we’ve router extensions everywhere). Followed @virginmedia advice but they make it so difficult to talk to anyone that we’re about to move elsewhere too. Can’t have a call of any decent length without the wifi dropping.

  • fewery_rob Robert Fewery (@fewery_rob) reported

    @virginmedia I managed to speak to someone called Michelle about this matter. I received excellent customer service and, as a result, I will be staying with Virgin Media when moving house.

  • JRD3D4 James Richards (@JRD3D4) reported

    @virginmedia I have called up several times and had the team reset my router. This has been happening for weeks now and you reward customer loyalty with a price hike. Will be moving to a new and better provider.

  • MikeJTaylor96 Mike Taylor (@MikeJTaylor96) reported

    @virginmedia we have had that many different engineers who have stated it has to 100% be X Y and Z, they "fix it" and then nothing happens. the service still drops frequently.

  • EmzeeJaye Emily-jaye collins. (@EmzeeJaye) reported

    @virginmedia You’re saying you don’t have account access, but one of you did manage to get hold of me via my mobile. So have you had a gdpr breach? I’ve never given my mobile number. Someone from the social media team called, a manager called hetty at 19:17.

  • DeanFerguson4 Dean Ferguson (@DeanFerguson4) reported

    @sheppooo @virginmedia this is absolutely appalling. I have experienced similar issues.

  • Sarahscamp79 Sarah Parsons (@Sarahscamp79) reported

    @virginmedia we have done that, had countless phone calls and have given up. Had to cancel the contract, and we have been told we will have to pay £210, which when you cannot provide service or help is disgusting. Asked to speak to customer services and have been cut off. #poorcustomerservice

  • MikeJTaylor96 Mike Taylor (@MikeJTaylor96) reported

    @virginmedia many, many many times over period. latest being last week and every time its left with " a manager will call you back within the hour" nothing happens. A complaint has also been rased again and nothing has happened
