  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Someone else has called me since and had said she's going to call me back and look into it. But I was just so frustrated with the way he spoke to me. I'm not one for just googling random sites but this was on one of your forums and it's the exact same issue!

  • mseedat0 Mohammed Seedat | Sports Marketing (@mseedat0) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia my network is very poor! Getting no signal at all.

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia Hi!! Just letting you know my land line issue still isn't fixed. Someone is supposed to be calling me back today. I'm really hoping they do. Just wanted to say thanks to Robert too for being so helpful. Despite this still driving me mad.

  • LeylandDavid David Gardner (@LeylandDavid) reported from Leyland, England

    @virginmedia My landline phone has been down all afternoon in PR25 1UJ. Have any others complained about this issue, and if you're aware of the issue, do you have an estimated time for repair. Thanks in advance.

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia Where to begin🙄 started with instillation issues, then accused of lying, then billed for stuff that was free in my deal, set up for billing wrong, then just completely wrong bills, then advised my deal was increasing in fixed fee contract, then someone made changes on my

  • boardchik Katy Molyneux (@boardchik) reported from Standish, England

    @virginmedia I need a wifi booster for my house, when am I able to get one? Says you’re not taking registrations anymore! The signal in my study is not the best and I need it to work from home

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia Account which then changed my bill been in the phone today to customer service who advised it’s fixed now and will have the confirmation through, and just had it and it is still wrong. I have had someone called Ross from billing,dealing with this but now no response from him 🙄

  • lamsom Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia Your mobile network is crap & your customer service is just as bad.

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia Quite frankly sick of having to sort this out every month and spending my own time dealing with your errors

  • GailCharnock Gail Charnock (@GailCharnock) reported from Shevington, England

    @virginmedia You are aware of the problem, told us it's a fault and it's being fixed by 12th April, it wasn't, we rang, you gave us reassurance it will be fixed by the 22nd, it hasn't, we rang got passed around a lot! Now you say it will be fixed 29th. Hands up if you would put up with this?

  • ms_sasmassey sarah (@ms_sasmassey) reported from Preston, England

    @virginmedia hi my tivo remote is broken trying to order new online and an error message comes up. Can't get through on the phone Help

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia He said it '100% wasn't a porting issue' and that he would look into it but that wouldn't be the answer. Another lady called me later on a few times and asked me to call our land line on three separate occasions and she could call back to get the times. But haven't had a call yet

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia But on the online forum it says others have had the same problem and your technical department need to contact Sky and the line needs to be routed to you again as it's a porting issue. I can't see any other examination although I appreciate I'm not a technician.

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia can someone explain that why after several issues I’ve had with you, that you think it’s ok, to hike up the bill £20 a month on a fixed fee contract?! #disgusting #poorservice #donotrecommend

  • StephenMonk1970 The Monk (@StephenMonk1970) reported from Preston, England

    Help @virginmedia. Once again I'm left unable to ring my doctors because you attempted the direct debit early and it failed. My Oomph sim will now not work until I make a payment. Please that's all I want to do. Do I need to go to Ofcom or the Ombudsman. This seriously effects me

  • lamsom Dave Gracey (@lamsom) reported from Blackburn, England

    @virginmedia There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, I can travel to different areas and get 4 bars on my phone and it works no problem, the problem is in the area I live.The reception always used to be fine but for quite some time now it’s been awful, I currently have one bar.

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @VodafoneUK I'm not sure... as far as I can tell it's a @virginmedia issue. But you may be able to help. No one on Vodafone can call our virgin landline. It just beeps or says the number and code combination isn't recognised.

  • Miss_Defying Rebecca Harrisson (@Miss_Defying) reported from Ormskirk, England

    @virginmedia hi!! We're having issues calling our landline from Vodafone mobiles. Have googled and it looks like it's a porting issue. But one of your technicians has just called and talked to me like I'm stupid and told me it's not. Can you help???

  • SammyKnowlesX SJK (@SammyKnowlesX) reported from Banks, England

    @virginmedia do you have an email or a direct telephone to make a complaint too please? I’ve had to make several complaints since joining which get rectified them something else goes wrong and I am sick of it

  • StephenMonk1970 The Monk (@StephenMonk1970) reported from Preston, England

    Virgin Mobile. Utterly useless. All I want is to send a text and call people. My bill isn't due until 8th May. There is no online help. Really cheesed off. #virginmobile #virginmedia #virginbilling

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • minzibz1988 k games (@minzibz1988) reported

    @virginmedia I agreed a new package price of 44 and got charged more. My Internet service was very bad and I got 350 Internet speed I got charged 163 for no reason I should have had 75 credit instead that went missing and I got charged over 3 times my bill.

  • _AnthonyByrne Anthony Byrne (@_AnthonyByrne) reported

    @virginmedia The issue is that last Saturday Virgin Media went down. It took a good few days for the broadband to come back on but when I tried to do the tv box. It says that it couldn't load up so I just gave up.

  • carooftheavon CC (@carooftheavon) reported

    @virginmedia Recorded message saying there's a 'complex' issue. No fix time given and never is. My point is that as this has been going on for over a month, I think it's high time your customers got a little more explanation than a vague recorded message.

  • Courtney_Star1 Courtney Draper 💝💋 (@Courtney_Star1) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just reset the rooter, but that’s the second time this week we’ve had to do it. My partner is paying nearly £50 a month for an average service being provided.

  • chris_oneill94 Chris O'Neill (@chris_oneill94) reported

    @virginmedia I'm never off messages, calls with you. I very regularly have zero or intermittent WiFi. Surely at a certain point this is a breach of contract/service and I can walk away?

  • maureen2900 no nonsense (@maureen2900) reported

    @virginmedia The thing is, this is a reoccurring problem which is getting stupid.

  • dr_usmananjum Usman Anjum (@dr_usmananjum) reported

    @virginmedia Both parties agree on a specific contract, however for last 5 months I’m not receiving the full package despite full payment. You’re unable to resolve the problem and wasted my time on web, phone chats and technician visits. #CustomerService #virginmedia

  • Gem_Gem_Louise Gemma Louise Butler (@Gem_Gem_Louise) reported

    @virginmedia collections agent stated "irrespective of that, you have to pay" Virgin Media What sort of customer service is that?!? Im in tears, my hubbys shaking with stress and rage that a massive company like Virgin Media won't honour the information from TWO separate agents.

  • carooftheavon CC (@carooftheavon) reported

    @virginmedia It's impacted in that I have none. And your telephone helpline recorded message confirms this. It affects all your customer in the Sutton SM1 area as you can see from the numerous previous tweets has been going on for some time.

  • nicholasvane Nick Vane (@nicholasvane) reported

    @virginmedia So no exact times as to when it will go down and only a rough time when it will be back. Last month it didn’t recover until late evening after we switched the box off (one of our neighbours suggested this). Nothing in your comms said we need to do this
