  • DjOoooosch CK|Fitness (@DjOoooosch) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia How is it I can buy a new mobile phone from you yet I can’t speak to anyone about my current phone? Shocking and **** Customer care.

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia I have rung twice waited over 2 hours and still can’t sort out a request to cancel an account for someone who has learning difficulties and is escaping domestic violence. Disgraceful

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia The worst bit you get one letter on 6th Nov saying your case is being investigated & apologising for taking 8 weeks to sort, two days later the case is closed as I didn’t reply to a letter 4 weeks earlier I never received!!!!

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia Had enough - paying for a service - not getting what I pay for & just getting know where fast!!!!

  • DjOoooosch CK|Fitness (@DjOoooosch) reported from Braintree, England

    @virginmedia Please don’t conveniently close the live chat because you cut my phone and you’re having massive issues. The phone is my business phone and you are now liable for any missed work. Sort it out, shocking service.

  • leezaloops Leeza Morley (@leezaloops) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia No I didn’t and I don’t remember receiving one. I have checked all my emails from you and nothing. I rang a couple of days ago to ask for a discount and was basically told to get lost. I spend £100 a month with you guys and was shocked at the service. Account name Lisa Morley.

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @krista_leia I don't know what to believe anymore, he told me on Sunday that Virgin Media were comping to fix it but it's now so bad i cannot even connect it. I can get wi-fi installed here just for me, but you usually need a phone line and the cost is going to be fairly high.

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I managed to get through on the other number as i had forgotten my old account no, the bill is paid and i now have an installation date. I appreciate your help.

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @jasonkneen @virginmedia That page never seems to work for me.

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia That was a wired connection. It downloaded in the end (all 92GB), I will keep a lookout for issues.

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia @ruskin147 It’s also affecting your 4G mobile data service so every time your broadband goes down so does the 4G and we lose all of our internet access.

  • leezaloops Leeza Morley (@leezaloops) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Absolutely disgusting service from Virgin. Rang to get refund for sky sports since lockdown and no help whatsoever. And I can’t make a complaint apparently as it will be automatically closed!!

  • starbuck2003 Julian Joyce (@starbuck2003) reported from Elmstead Market, England

    @virginmedia Hi i moved house on the 13th Dec and i contacted virginmedia that i would like to close my account. I have yet to have a final bill from yourselves and i had to cancel the direct debit as this would have gone out tomorrow for the full amount!

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Sorry i will not be able to as it is the landlord who is the customer. Thanks though i appreciate it.

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia Amazing how you won’t sort out the problem with the account holder but you’ll speak to someone else about the account without the account holder’s permission!

  • FolkardSimon Simon Folkard (@FolkardSimon) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I have something called a TP Adapter? in my room. When it is able to come through that the signal is brilliant, but for some reason it is not coming through right now.

  • RUSSELL91779006 RUSSELL WALKER (@RUSSELL91779006) reported from Colchester, England

    @IpMcdonald Snap...the same for me, but with virgin media. Absolutely abysmal service.

  • gunsmoke70 Richard Martin (@gunsmoke70) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia what’s the issue with the service in colchester CO2 area

  • Grovesy71 Darren Grove (@Grovesy71) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia contract changed last year, advised incorrectly by advisor, discussed with call centre & complained via your complaints procedure - no calls received to date to address from now over 1 month from complaint date #shockingservice for a loyal customer

  • ColletteLynn_ ¢σℓℓєттє ℓуηη мσσяє♥ (@ColletteLynn_) reported from Great Horkesley, England

    @Howard_Norton @Virgin I haven’t even managed to get through to @virginmedia yet despite multiple attempts and long holds to even comment on their actual customer service. The fact they are trying to charge me for something I have cancelled and haven’t used is beyond the joke already! #poorservice

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HomemadeByHema Hema (@HomemadeByHema) reported

    @virginmedia can you please get in touch, I’ve had problems with wifi since 5 Oct, however your staff keep fobbing me off with ‘there’s an outage problem. I am fed up with having to call them every other day to be told the same by another member of staff

  • Bev280165 Beverley (@Bev280165) reported

    @virginmedia A booster. But can I get anyone to listen Our understand, no! In fact I get given phone numbers that aren't correct, or completely the wrong department. I am so fed up with the incompetence and being passed from pillar to post that I will cancel my contract and go elsewhere.

  • jpriddle14 Joe Priddle (@jpriddle14) reported

    @virginmedia - can someone please get in touch with me regarding a complaint I have about a discount that wasn’t applied to my account on more than one occasion. Thanks

  • apo_sisko Apollo (@apo_sisko) reported

    @virginmedia Horrendous! Virgin called me for the broadband switch. I couldn't call back because I only had an order ref and not a customer ID. I called back and I was on the phone for over 1 hour for a new application. I then received a voice mail that the 1st is going through

  • Sonn80 Sonn🌟 (@Sonn80) reported

    @virginmedia Its both, and there always seems to be some “planned works” & when it’s done, it’s worst than before! No planned works happening right now. I can just about get a connection in the sitting room where the hub is! Can’t get it no where else anymore! Used to be good now it’s crap!

  • DominikElmiger Dom (@DominikElmiger) reported

    @virginmedia That seems like an easy way out though, simply updating the fix date. The whole street is impacted. Can you give me a real ETA?

  • Bev280165 Beverley (@Bev280165) reported

    @virginmedia Yes please. I took out a new 1gb built package last week and was promised boosters to help with the WiFi speed,n they have never arrived. Our download speed is less than the minium advertised. After speaking to 7 agents online and by phone this is still not resolved.

  • _DanJbh Dan (@_DanJbh) reported

    @virginmedia @NetflixUK I promise you now, you will have nothing but grief joining these. Don't bother I was meant to have a delivery which got cancelled 4 times by these. Brilliant way to treat new customers. Cancelled and going elsewhere 👍

  • PeroPhos phos pero (@PeroPhos) reported

    @virginmedia I'm I want your CEO or a high manager to contact me by the end of the day for these issues. If not I'm taking this further

  • RahRah0405 Rachel Murphy (@RahRah0405) reported

    @virginmedia I've spent a total of 5 hours on the phone to them, was promised a call back for a manager four days ago and heard nothing. I've spoken to every department and they keep passing me from pillar to post. I've spoken to home movers, customer service, cancellation team and complaints
