  • Lbartram Lee Bartram (@Lbartram) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @peterthepotter @jjhsenior @btsportmotogp @btsportfootball @btsport @sky No point even asking @Virgin .@virginmedia if they are going to do anything to help their customers after the @VirginAtlantic news of last week! #Sky #BT #Virgin

  • Mozza0705 Morris (@Mozza0705) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia broadband is completely down!!!

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia It's pretty annoying to phone support, wait 30 minutes to get through, then listen to someone who only knows the basics, reboot, pinhole in the back of the router, plus we can't understand each other. No point in calling support, my contract finishes soon, I look forward to that.

  • Mozza0705 Morris (@Mozza0705) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia so I upgraded to 200mb yesterday and today I can’t get a service at all!! £42 well spent NOT!!!!!!!

  • jemmadm Jemma (@jemmadm) reported from Salford, England

    When @virginmedia cancel your internet install for 3 weeks but offer £5 compensation 🙃 Roll on the @OmbudServices complaint

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia I know there is more to think about at the moment, but, my upload speed was down to 2.6meg and it fluctuates around 2meg to 6 it was 25meg last week is it something you are doing, I have reset everything many times but it makes no difference.

  • roodle_pipski Ruth Edwards (@roodle_pipski) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @virginmedia thousands of health and social care support workers are trying to do our jobs from home. Many, like me, are your customers. We’re relying on you, to help us help the people relying on us. Can I suggest that like the supermarkets, you find a way to support us better.

  • lisaTideswell1 Lisa Tideswell (@lisaTideswell1) reported from Stockport, England

    @VirginAtlantic Thank you! You are the only people I can get a reply from! @richardbranson & Virgin can do customer service, while @ExpediaUK @Expedia won’t reply to any social media or phones. It’s like you are sat with your fingers in your ears trying not to listen and hope this all goes away

  • TheOmnisis Brian Cooper (@TheOmnisis) reported from Sale, England

    @gazza_d @virginmedia That's just baffling. We deal with customer data, and have our InfoSec processes locked down so hard but I still get sleepless nights worrying that my team might slip up on something.

  • toewad1 toewad1 (@toewad1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia My upload speed is up and down, line not stable, come on VM. Sort it out.

  • martyn_driver Martyn The Driver (@martyn_driver) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia after 23 year and 20 months of being a cable customer in various names I have just cancelled my subscription. You are offering new customers some very good deals yet I am not allowed them. I know your broadband is quicker but I don't need it.

  • ethansgrumps Tony Collier BEM (@ethansgrumps) reported from Sale, England

    @virginmedia @MichaelDiPaola I also want to pause my sports package whilst we have no live sports. Hung on the phone for 30 mins on Saturday before giving up. Appalling service

  • ST_1982 Scott (@ST_1982) reported from Stockport, England

    @SockCouncil @virginmedia Cancel it. They are giving you all channels for nowt anyway.

  • rebeccahw_x Rebecca🐕 (@rebeccahw_x) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia is there a way to just cancel my sports bundle as all the sport has stopped but i’m still paying a lot for BT and Sky sports

  • philhallmcfc philip hall (@philhallmcfc) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been in hold for 58 minutes and had to give up, the website keeps going down as well

  • greg__gin Greg (@greg__gin) reported from Stockport, England

    @virginmedia Done that already and nothing back. Terrible service.

  • das2112a David shore (@das2112a) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia well, well, well. I haven't wasted my time for a while complaining about the shocking 9mths we spent with you 2nd rate awful company. However the news shows you are clearly still a shockingly poor company!

  • connell2509 TCTOM (@connell2509) reported from Stockport, England

    @JustRacingMag @virginmedia Am having the same issues and have been for over a week! @virginmedia 😡😡😡😡 @skytv #help

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Hardeep_5ingh Hardeep Singh (@Hardeep_5ingh) reported

    @virginmedia honestly has the worst customer service. Mobile sim hasn't been working since August 2021 - they offered £100 compensation, but haven't heard from them since. Internet has been awful for the last 4 weeks. Multiple emails and calls, all ignored. #VirginMedia

  • AndyBluey Bluey (@AndyBluey) reported

    @virginmedia I used the text message service and it directed me to the WhatsApp service and you don't have any availability to speak to me on there...

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported

    @virginmedia contact number to terminate my contract please had enough

  • Lizzie_Rose20 Lizzie Johnson (@Lizzie_Rose20) reported

    @virginmedia The cable that runs outside to the router. This was never arranged to be collected with the router when we moved to another provider and is now causing us issues

  • NikkiMYoungNAP Nikki Young (@NikkiMYoungNAP) reported

    Well once again @virginmedia have done nothing promised to refund me the £500+ they had been taking out of our account over a year ago. They have admitted liability and on countless occasions stated that a cheque is in the post only for it not to arrive. Unacceptable service!

  • wonky1961 Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

  • Liam_Hawksey Goth Scouser (@Liam_Hawksey) reported

    @virginmedia Hmm, if that’s the case, how come my neighbours a few doors down can go on your website for a new install and be offered a date less than 2 weeks away but i can only get a date a month away to fix a tech issue?

  • roibeard67 Roibeard (@roibeard67) reported

    @virginmedia Honestly I’m fed up with the whole setup, if you can contact me why can’t someone who can fix it, you know I’ve been with VM over 20 years, and if I changed they would probably set it up quicker than VM is taking anti fix it, my bill was took off today £132 for a bad service 😡

  • TheMums Marian (@TheMums) reported

    @virginmedia Registered with o2 on 3rd Oct and spoken 3 times no body can explain why it’s not working and had email from virgin to say I’m eligible

  • YourGirlAmyLou ✨ A ✨ (@YourGirlAmyLou) reported

    @virginmedia is the worst help I’ve ever received. I contacted them on the 14th October to say I needed a longer coax cable. 5 conversations later and promises of when delivery will be and GUESS WHAT still no cable!! Even though one was on a 72 hour delivery! JOKE
