Richard Foster (@fos100) reported from New Longton, EnglandHi @virginmedia, I’m trying to order some pods to sort out my truly shocking Wi-Fi, but can’t work out how to do so. Please could you help me?
-
Chris (@houghtonc79) reported from Preston, England@virginmedia So after having pissed around since mid December refusing to send me a new router due to intermittent WiFi issues with some devices losing connection. Today it has been on and off over a dozen times. Now no connection at all, no Internet and no phone service 😡
-
Stephen Murtagh (@TheRealRagtag) reported from Penwortham, EnglandNot very often I say good things about @virginmedia but todays service was excellent. Peter sorted out Wi-fi problem, wavered the set up fee, and arranged a new hub after lots of line tests. Thank you. (But will have no service for 6 days in all.🙄 Refund?)

Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia my internet has been down since Friday afternoon. I was told it would be fixed in 24 hours, the time has since changed and is currently at 8pm this evening. I work from home so need my internet back up and running before Monday morning. This is disgraceful
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?
-
Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England@virginmedia Don't use this company its disgusting and disappointing the way they treat customers. Been trying to sort my contract out for 3 months now while they rob my money, create contracts that I've not agreed to and cancel complaints that I've raised.
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia No, they just left. Rang your customer service they are now telling me the problem is internal. I’ve had no internet since July, no tv since August. It’s beyond a joke now. 5 visits I’ve had.
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia Can you check that I will be receiving a credit on my next bill as it has been down since Friday afternoon and I don’t think it will be fixed by 12pm today, I think that time will get changed again.
-
GreenWasBlue (@GreenwasBlue) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia I've tried the online help to no avail.Just going round in circles. How do I get to book a visit by a human being?? 😡
-
Ducky 🇺🇦 🎃 👻 (@duckyblog) reported from Tyldesley, England@virginmedia Issues with all VM services in my area says expected fix by 4:40pm today.

zach close YT 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, EnglandYou say you care about your customers and if you did you would fix your ******* **** Internet problems that everyone is having and don't even bother replying @virginmedia
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia 2/2 who can I speak to as it was working fine on Friday until the issues that were nothing to do with me happened, so don’t see why I should now pay for a technician
-
Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia @virginhelp I've never had this much issue as I have had today. I'm plugged in on ethernet, I've reset my hub, and checked my area and there is no issue at all. My WiFi is working from my hub but yet its booting me out of Destiny 2 and not just that but the chat parties on PS5 itself
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.

-
Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England@virginmedia And the last complaint I raised over this got cancelled because it didn't have any details to the complaint even though all the messages are there to see through your WhatsApp service but the retentions team can't see that or deal with the complaint or help in anyway way

PD1882 (@PD1_8_8_2) reported@virginmedia what’s wrong with your virgin media tv? Did an ‘update’ and now every time I turn on the tv it loads into TiVo and I have to go back to Virgin again. And now your red button for Sky sports doesn’t work. Tell me how to fix these issues, they’re maddening.
-
Just D. (@DuggyStand) reportedNice to see @virginmedia issues with @SkySports + are still not resolved. Absolutely useless... Hope you are gonna knock some money off my bill.
-
John Bird (@John_L_Bird) reported@virginmedia This is not an acceptable solution having to crowd around an ipad when customers have paid to watch it on their TVs. Seems it was the same last week for the league cup games? Given all the problems Virgin had with the red button in the past this is really poor.
-
Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reportedIs anyone else having problems with Sky channels through Virgin Media today? We’ve got a message saying there’s a problem with the service, but it’s not very clear what the issue is. Just wondering if it’s affecting other Virgin Media customers as well? 📺 @virginmedia #Sky
-
Mike Cook (@utarg) reported@virginmedia I didn't pay for this service to watch matches on my phone
-
Colin Morty (@cmwba) reported@virginmedia red button not working again! What do we pay all this money for? #shockingservice
-
Kathy Miller (@KathyMi25429227) reported@virginmedia Being concerned about my feelings .... BUT tell me what compensation you will actually pay and when and when the service will be reliable? Ofcom are going to have much to read...@Ofcom
-
VLP FinalTilt / Luke Squires (@TheFinalTilt) reportedSeriously **** @virginmedia
-
D.G (@DMGoodman1989) reported@virginmedia Ok so no sky sports+ available to watch on my Virgin TV. I’ve tried to log into the sky sports app however my Virgin02 ID is not recognised and will not allow me to me to sign in!! Shambles the game kicks off in 4mins!!
-
cbHatter (@cbHatternew) reportedDear @virginmedia can you please detail the compensation we will receive for you being unable to provide what we pay for. No red button service. Your solution to advise we watch on the phone.
