  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

  • mightymagpie99 mightymagpie99 (@mightymagpie99) reported from Newburn, England

    @damieng5 @garethmck1987 @virginmedia @NETGEAR I agree. I have the same set up . With Virgin SH3 no wifi signal to conservatory. With Orbi mesh network wifi everywhere in house & in the garden too. Costs a bit more but woryh it IMO.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • StevieA26 Stephen (@StevieA26) reported

    @virginmedia Shame that you couldn’t do anything for such a long term customer as me. Have had to cancel my tv package right down to the min and even then it’s more expensive than I was paying. No reward for loyalty at all.

  • Juggzy Juggzy Malone (@Juggzy) reported

    @virginmedia Additionally, I do not appreciate being fobbed off with an owner service when this Internet outage has happened directly because of the incompetence of your technician.

  • Andrew_Murray91 Andrew M (@Andrew_Murray91) reported

    @virginmedia No. And this problem has been like this for a good 2 months now...

  • Yasmin49103136 Yasmin (@Yasmin49103136) reported

    @virginmedia hey virgin we have no WiFi in Leicester yet your status service states there are no issues, sort it out or will you issue refund for the amount of hours we missing out on

  • dlisterphoto Lister (@dlisterphoto) reported

    So, apparantly, if you sign up to an 18 month agreement with @virginmedia where you agree to pay a certain monthly service charge for 18 months for your broadband, then it is not actually a fixed price, and they can (by notifying you) increase it during the contract term...

  • joachimtrier camille preaker's vodka (@joachimtrier) reported

    @virginmedia no wifi in almost a whole week. technician was meant to come today before 1pm. called virgin and they said they can’t get in touch with the field technician and i should wait until 8pm before ringing back. is there something you can do. terrible customer service.

  • ThYorkshireLass Kirsty Marks (@ThYorkshireLass) reported

    So @virginmedia is just about to lose a customer of 11 years. Told by their tech team Im going to have to pay to sort out my mac, because hey, its an IOS14 / Big Sur issue they they are aware of! What idiots do you employ! @SkyUK fancy a new customer?!

  • BJellye barry jellye (@BJellye) reported

    @virginmedia Says my service is working fine this seems to happen every month getting tired of it

  • Juggzy Juggzy Malone (@Juggzy) reported

    @virginmedia I am still offline. Are you going to get someone to fix it for me today or not? Upu could ask the technician to come back and fix what he broke.

  • dairwheeler adair wheeler (@dairwheeler) reported

    @virginmedia We can't afford to just wait for the outage to be fixed, it's not an option if we want to keep our jobs.
