    @virginmedia 1. Get your team to honour the price agreed on a call 2. call back a customer @ agreed time rather than not at all. How about that as a starter 4 10

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

  • xcbushy sarah bush (@xcbushy) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia absolutely disgusted with you, wait all afternoon for an engineer which you so say booked, to not turn up, an absolute shambles of a company, customer service is shocking 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

  • bubbles010689 ibubbles12 (@bubbles010689) reported from Bristol, England

    @rob9900 @virginmedia any help

  • metallicnat Natalie Timmons (@metallicnat) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia You repeatedly confirmed the arrangement with me and will not reinstate my services despite the assurance that payment in full - not a happy customer #VirginAreDisappointing

  • robpearson8 Robbb ♛ (@robpearson8) reported from Filton, England

    @virginmedia Yeah have the useless app and have spoken to your useless help staff, maybe send an engineer round or refund us seeing were meant to get over 300mbps

  • karleburford Karle Burford (@karleburford) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Too late for that. My opinion is set. Awful service and a pain.

  • sarahcliftonsc Sarah (@sarahcliftonsc) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for nothing!! There isn't anything on sky sports so I rang up to remove it and they can't as the price goes up. What a load of shite!!!!!! And cheers for never replying to my tweets

  • jakepjohnson Jake Johnson 🚲🇪🇺 (@jakepjohnson) reported from Easton-in-Gordano, England

    @RichWalker15 @paul_smortions @AsACyclist @Scoodles64 @grfirestorm @fathead1987 @HylandIan @virginmedia You *are* using it though. It’s how the internet gets to your house. It’s “line rental”. It’s an infrastructure charge for using the cabinets and lines etc to deliver the service (separate cost) to your house.

  • Yippers Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    I’ve been on your community page and seen a lot of VM customers have also posted the same issue with no resolution or response from @virginmedia! You need to sort this out - using mobile data instead of WiFi is not what I signed up for.

  • BlackMayan UNEMPLOYED AUB🇲🇼🇬🇧 (@BlackMayan) reported from Kingswood, England

    I don't need your help anyway @virginmedia wasteman...

  • BlackMayan UNEMPLOYED AUB🇲🇼🇬🇧 (@BlackMayan) reported from Kingswood, England

    @notsolittlezee @virginmedia They never respond.. They are exhausting. Me and them are in a toxic relationship I swear. Hard to walk away and yet I keep being abused.

  • Yippers Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia I have done all of the above. Issue here is that this it is affecting other VM customers as well, all of us are using your WiFi! Please check your community forum and you will see there are a lot of posts about the same issue. Resolve this ASAP or consider reimbursement.

  • GregDawes38 Greg Dawes (@GregDawes38) reported from Patchway, England

    @virginmedia Follow our local facebook pages in Bristol people constantly asking if anyone elses virgin media/broardband is down again. Become a running joke locally

  • littletinaob Tina Ransom (@littletinaob) reported from Clevedon, England

    @virginmedia am paying for pay boxing but have no sound!!!! Please help asap

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    Yet again @virginmedia absolutely appalling customer service, by far worse organisation I’ve ever dealt with. They lie, they cheat, they rip from your bank account, no protection at all!!!

  • DanielFry23 Daniel Fry (@DanielFry23) reported from Filton, England

    @virginmedia your device in the BS32 are of bristol is beyond a joke! You expect us to pay money for a service that dial is faster all those years ago! Sort it out!

  • Yippers Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Yes it’s still happening this morning. It’s a permanent issue whenever I go on Instagram. A lot of users have brought up this issue already on the internet, but I can’t find the solution. I can’t continue to switch over to my mobile data just to browse that app!

  • LouRipley Louise Ripley (@LouRipley) reported from Kingswood, England

    @virginmedia 🤣 if only this could be believed. Service is no different than any prior month - stop using the current situation to excuse Virgin’s continuous shortcomings it assumes customers are somewhat mentally incapacitated

  • leedumble Lee (@leedumble) reported from Avonmouth, England

    @virginmedia internet piss poor most expensive package WiFi piss poor customer service shit don’t understand what a shock can you reset and wait 3 hours 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BenH2401 Ben (@BenH2401) reported

    Virgin media broadband speed progressively worsening over past 2 weeks. Meant to get 200mb download speed but getting less than 5 regularly. Impossible to work from home. Support contact number says “not been possible to connect you”. Can you please advise ASAP please?

  • Notwat57 Kevin Tawton (@Notwat57) reported

    @virginmedia It's simple, replacement Internet box and TV box were sent as not working properly, but only one return label. Instructions clearly state one label per box but you only sent one label. I tried to phone but gave up after three attempts and mentioned here.

  • LynnMSheridan Lynn Sheridan🕷 (@LynnMSheridan) reported

    @virginmedia you told us the issue with out internet connection would be resolved by 10.00am then you pushed this back to 2pm. No communication with customers as to why our service has not yet been re-connected! Not good customer relations.

  • joldan458 Joldan458 (@joldan458) reported

    @virginmedia I have been holding on all day ! After an hour they hang up

  • wilco3d Joe Angus (@wilco3d) reported

    @tweethue Just to confirm, this is still working perfectly (almost a month later now). Sync box definitely didn't seem to like the upscaled signal from the virgin media box. Maybe one for your FAQ.

  • shields_c Chris Shields (@shields_c) reported

    @virginmedia You have the absolute worst customer service in history. Countless hours on the phone, cut off, passed from one department to the other, asking me for info on your company. All this on my phone bill. Shame on you!!!!

  • KeithBursnall Keith Bursnall 🏳️‍🌈 (@KeithBursnall) reported

    @virginmedia After 50 minutes wait on the phone I’ve managed to book an engineer, but tv will be unavailable until next Monday (provided they can solve the issue).

  • Tom_Corbett_ Tom Corbett (@Tom_Corbett_) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I struggle all the time with my phone connecting to your wifi. My laptop, iPad and Mac never seem to struggle. Is there a setting I need to change on your hub or is it my phone?

  • HarryPimlott Horace Cooper (@HarryPimlott) reported

    @LozzaFox @virginmedia We have been with them since they known as NTL back in the day customer service was good now since it's been Virgin Media they dont seem to care. The just want your money. Customer service is very poor. There overseas call centres are shocking.

  • YoungJambo Jamie Will (@YoungJambo) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia If I'm a customer of yours and need customer service, you put me through to a call centre in India that provides wrong information. If I call and say I'd like to sign up as a new customer, I get UK/Ireland call centres... This is wrong. Do better.
