  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia hiya, another night of constant router/connection restarts and problems. Multiple engineer visits, senior engineer visits, call centre calls, new router and £160+ a month down the drain. I don’t want to switch provider but you’re not leaving me much option

    @virginmedia your sales team are the biggest bunch of #fraudsters I’ve ever dealt with! Phone us to offer a better package and you have taken our package and completely messed it all up! #CustomerService at it’s worst! If this is how you treat a loyal customer of 14year, I’m off!

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia morning, your text service seems to have stopped talking to me and we’ve spent another week with no service. Who can I speak to?

  • LiisaJane LiisaJane'x (@LiisaJane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England

    @virginmedia @nickgooner80 I wanna know why my broadband has been all day! I do not want to be paying for a service I cannot use!!!!!! 🤬🤬 I have a bored 6 year old. SORT IT OUT!!! And I can’t check my service status as I can’t access the internet even on my 4G or the virgin media app.

  • johnperreira john perreira (@johnperreira) reported from Basildon, England

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @lobsterpants66 @virginmedia Yep. Engineer never turned up but logged it as he turned up and couldn’t get a reply. Lying b’stard.

  • TheSugg David Sugg (@TheSugg) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia hi I’ve received a written response to a complaint from VM but with no way to reply other than the usual customer service number which doesn’t offer an option for this. Can you supply another telephone number or physical address to reply to?

  • MidkentTravel MidKent Travel (@MidkentTravel) reported from Gravesend, England

    @virginmedia Can you please private message me, I have a log on issue.

  • RogerCole10135 roger cole (@RogerCole10135) reported from Basildon, England

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CalNoon Winny (@CalNoon) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely fuming at your company taking another £77 from my mums a/c after cancelling 26/3/22. Customer service is shocking. You have lied to me. 6 phone calls later & still no joy. Contract ended 29/3. You are a joke!!! Try to complain given same no.

  • kabennettuk Kimberly Bennett💙 (@kabennettuk) reported

    @virginmedia @backstreetjoe Really not helpful for GCSE revision . Pay a fortune per month for a terrible service . Find it interesting your first message yesterday was that you were updating so we will receive a fabulous service … then it’s suddenly a fault that’s complicated

  • RayCampbell19 Dr. Ray Campbell #GoldStrike (@RayCampbell19) reported

    @virginmedia As soon as Hyperoptic or Community Fibre is available here, I'll be cancelling my contract with Virgin Media. You had your chances and you still let me down.

  • LALIGHTHOUSE1 LA LIGHTHOUSE (@LALIGHTHOUSE1) reported

    @virginmedia I do not have a contract 'rolling contract' and have been charged x2 for Netflix. Wanted a contract but not at extortionate rates i am currently been charged. Solution given to me "cut service off". Really?

  • GeraldineGSmith Geraldine (@GeraldineGSmith) reported

    Beyond bored of @virginmedia 's unreliable broadband. Constant excuses of "upgrading the network for new customers" is grating. If you don't value the customers you already have, you won't have them for long.

  • autismandbree Bree 💚 (@autismandbree) reported

    @virginmedia WHY YOU NOT WORKING I WANNA PLAY THE SIMS xxxxx

  • fhearne frank hearne (@fhearne) reported

    @virginmedia Not good enough. The order was placed 06/07/2021, first install scheduled 26/07/2021 - followed by 10 months of excuses, incompetence, and putting front line team members in the line of fire from an irate customer with no consideration to them or us, your customer. Disgraceful

  • J_cool_LL LL-J (@J_cool_LL) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply, I’ve contacted the number and been told my details are not showing and to try again tomorrow? I’m also asked for an account number I don’t have, I only have an order reference which no one can search. How do I cancel please?

  • narmstrong narmstrong (@narmstrong) reported

    @virginmedia @J_cool_LL Your Ireland call centre says they’re opened now but theyre closed. Also you’re not sending out confirmation emails when registering my account online. Basically I’m blocked in getting a small piece to of info I need (my landline). Can you help?

  • ZachcloseYT zach close YT (@ZachcloseYT) reported
