    @virginmedia right how do I going about getting a new router, I've had mine for about 4ys and it keep on dropping signal from phones!!

  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I will@go@to ofcom and I will chaffe you for my hourly rate for any time expenses on this disgraceful approach to customer experience when I’ve been a loyal@customer for 15 years

  • RobbyRSSRobot Robby (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Just checking as it calls me your customer and I'm not! 🤣

  • MajorManor lee major (@MajorManor) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia You having service issues in NE15 7PH

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

  • dodgestweet Matt Dodge Donnelly (@dodgestweet) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia every month I have the same issue. Go to pay bill and despite having Google auto password (which works on every other thing I log in) it says my log in is wrong and I have to reset it EVERY MONTH!! EVERY MONTH!! IT'S RIDICULOUS

  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia just the most horrific service ever from you. Your agent agreed a discount due to poor service and to stop me leaving. It now transpires the discount is at the expense of skysportsHD which we did not agree. I’m now having to take it to ofcom because no one can help

  • kieranwby_ Kieran (@kieranwby_) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    4 days running wrang Virgin media regarding my broadband contract hold time of 40 mins then get cut off and in app support doesn’t help or live chat jokes man @virginmedia

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

  • stephwales_ S t e p h . ♡ (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Great what deals you can get when you ring to cancel your contract 👍 @virginmedia a very helpful Hayley in your call centre. Paying less now for more than double what I had before.

  • julieclayevents Julie Clay (@julieclayevents) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Don’t forget to cancel your @virginmedia @skytv package!!!! #nofootball 😢

  • TonyYoull TY I 92 (@TonyYoull) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Shouting at Virgin Media on the internet work fix the problem. Pass it on

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • Dyl_Atkinson Dylan Atkinson (@Dyl_Atkinson) reported from Washington, England

    Virgin media are not stupid like give everyone 10GB free data then nock everyone’s WiFi off so they go over there allowances😂

  • vitosauras Helen #RacingForAnthoine🇧🇪 (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    Hi @virginmedia sort the Internet issues out in NE10 please that's twice my connection has dropped in the last hour

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia .... 0420 and still no service 😡😡😡😡😡

  • MatthewEmmer Matthew Emmerson (@MatthewEmmer) reported from Gateshead, England

    Can’t continue to work remotely from for the NHS if this #virginmedia issue is on-going 😭

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • hhukradio Travel Adam (@hhukradio) reported

    @virginmedia trying to call you for the past THREE DAYS to cancel my contract at end of term. Now your team say that I need to give 30 days notice (which I was doing but you didn't answer the phone). Really upset about this treatment after 7 years of service with you.

  • clairem70748403 claire mcguire (@clairem70748403) reported

    @virginmedia @DaddyBlackery My phone saying no service

  • HorriblyR Horribly Lit (@HorriblyR) reported

    Uni: so... we need evidence your wifi has been an issue this whole time. ... Have you not had the *honour* of dealing with Virgin Media?! Also, why would I go to the effort of lying? Either way, my landlord is sending uni a letter to back me up 🙃

  • Lydia_evans_98 lydia beauty&fitness (@Lydia_evans_98) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service is appalling. I've had problem after problem since joining in march your customer service is awful, looking at all these unhappy customers makes me realise I'm not the only one. Im completely shocked at how bad your customer care has been

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Beyond belief since the link provided doesn’t work. I’m sorry but @virginmedia is a failing company with poor technology. I could never recommend them to anyone, Hub 4 failed again today, so unreliable it’s a joke

  • mactheminion Mac the Minion (@mactheminion) reported

    @virginmedia At the moment everything seems fine. However at the time of my first tweet it was 5GB down and .05GB up And then when I try to stream on Twitch using OBS I can’t keep a stable connection. It isn’t something on twitch’s end or OBS as I have already checked them out

  • CraigF224 Craig Ferguson (@CraigF224) reported

    @virginmedia Hey there, I have been waiting on a response via your online chat since 8:30 this AM, any chance of getting any support? Not an ideal way to start as a new customer to VirginMedia.

  • HelsS76 Helen (@HelsS76) reported

    @SulakshanaMD @virginmedia I’ve also had 3 calls asking about my router and error messages it’s sending to @virginmedia. Told them I would call back later as I was working (using my mobile hotspot as the internet is down again 🙄) and they put the phone down on me each time!

  • audreyawhite Audrey W (@audreyawhite) reported

    .@virginmedia - you've just dropped my call TWICE after waiting on hold for an hour. and there's no way to take action online. please help. this is unacceptable.

  • sa_unknown01 /// (@sa_unknown01) reported
