  • PaulCraig24 Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ShirleyNzeh The Real Lady Shirl 👑 (@ShirleyNzeh) reported

    @virginmedia is the prime example of poor customer outcomes. Following their systems migration with @O2, they are issuing bills they cannot explain and charges for 'unreturned' equipment that has been returned. All this, while over relying on #ChatBots and operating process that leave them unable to verify customers based on data viewable within the customers' dashboards. How?! This reminds me the issue with the #PostOffice. Save yourself the hassle and find another provider. #VirginMediaI are useless and will frustrate you!

  • AlisonLMercer Ali Mercer (@AlisonLMercer) reported

    @WhichUK have you heard about the latest epic email fail from @virginmedia and @O2? Something to follow up next time you survey the best and worst broadband & email providers...

  • moo2n bella4001 (@moo2n) reported

    @virginmedia DONT DO THE MISTAKE I DIDBY JOINING VIRGIN MEDIA IT IS THE WORST SERVICE ONE CAN GET . I DONT HAVE SERVICE FOR 12 DAYS AND DOES NOTHING ARPART FROM LIES AND BAD MANNERS THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS VERY BAD WITH NO RESPECT .I AM CHANGING TO BT THEY ARE CHEAPER AND BETTER

  • morse64 ian Morson (@morse64) reported

    @virginmedia what an absolute joke... cant access online due to this new Virgin media / O2 login. I do not have access to the email account and rang customer services to change it. Still no joy

  • hannalfowler Hanna Fowler (@hannalfowler) reported

    @virginmedia I keep getting non stop sales calls from Virgin Media daily!! I’ve picked up and said I’m not interested in any new deals at the moment - I was rudely hung up on a few days ago…the calls continue. Not a great customer service tactic really, it’s now just v. annoying

  • mjaanensen mjaanensen (@mjaanensen) reported

    @virginmedia please can someone contact me. I no longer have access to the e-mail address associated with my account, therefore cannot login to my virgin media and cannot change the e-mail address associated. Help! Also your internet is awful at the moment but can't run any tests

  • djvalentine4u DJ (@djvalentine4u) reported

    @virginmedia @DawnSunrise1 Virgin media, please can you quickly give me the email address for Virgin Media Sales, Operation Support, Winnal Down Farm, Alresfor Road, Windhester, SO21 1FP. I need to send an email. Thank you

  • AlisonLMercer Ali Mercer (@AlisonLMercer) reported

    apparently there's an absolute disaster with email service following the merger of @O2 and @virginmedia - is anyone else out there affected? #virginmedia #seewhattheycantdo

  • Christo24382100 Christopher Aveyard (@Christo24382100) reported

    @virginmedia Believe it or not, still no change. It says that the email linked to my account is [object OBJECT] so I can’t link it to my virgin media 02. I’ve told god knows how many advisors this and no one is helping. I’m getting tempted to cancel and go back to sky

  • jmallenvideo James Michael Allen (@jmallenvideo) reported

    @Bowkers @virginmedia Estimated fix from Virgin Media is 10am tomorrow
