  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia Amazing how you won’t sort out the problem with the account holder but you’ll speak to someone else about the account without the account holder’s permission!

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia I have had enough of your poor service 😡 talking to people who lie, can’t answer my questions so then hang up!! I have 3 mobile contacts with you my 2 daughters & my own, it’s a shocking service. All I want is the deal I signed up to 😤

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia trying to find your TV only plans on your website is a nightmare. Can’t do anything on your slow clunky mobile website.

  • starbuck2003 Julian Joyce (@starbuck2003) reported from Elmstead Market, England

    @virginmedia Hi i moved house on the 13th Dec and i contacted virginmedia that i would like to close my account. I have yet to have a final bill from yourselves and i had to cancel the direct debit as this would have gone out tomorrow for the full amount!

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia Had enough - paying for a service - not getting what I pay for & just getting know where fast!!!!

  • MichaelGagaHale Michael Gaga-Hale (@MichaelGagaHale) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I’ve done that. Think you just need to find and engineer that can fix it now.

  • jimaxyn Jimmy Regan (@jimaxyn) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to the team, they will arrange a repayment, my issue is that when you want the money, even if it's on the wrong day, you get it instantly, when I demand a refund it's 4-5 business days and that means I incur charges due to your mistake

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia Please can you assist before I take this further @richardbranson as your customer care is certainly way off the mark. Kind regards Phil Cook

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @jasonkneen @virginmedia That page never seems to work for me.

  • Da_Hayts Mark Hayton (@Da_Hayts) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia suggest you get more technical support staff!! Second attempt to get support after being disconnect after an hours waiting in a queue😡

  • lukeredpath Luke Redpath (@lukeredpath) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia @ruskin147 It’s also affecting your 4G mobile data service so every time your broadband goes down so does the 4G and we lose all of our internet access.

  • CordenGemma ❤Gemma❤ (@CordenGemma) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia when will we have normal service again.

  • Da_Hayts Mark Hayton (@Da_Hayts) reported from Colchester, England

    Terrible service keeping me waiting for an hour by @virginmedia

  • Greenking66 Chris Green (@Greenking66) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia I done the scan and the signal upstairs is weak and very very slow😕

  • philipcook1974 Philip Andrew Cook (@philipcook1974) reported from Layer-de-la-Haye, England

    @virginmedia The worst bit you get one letter on 6th Nov saying your case is being investigated & apologising for taking 8 weeks to sort, two days later the case is closed as I didn’t reply to a letter 4 weeks earlier I never received!!!!

  • lizdeoli liz de oliveira (@lizdeoli) reported from Sudbury, England

    @virginmedia I have rung twice waited over 2 hours and still can’t sort out a request to cancel an account for someone who has learning difficulties and is escaping domestic violence. Disgraceful

  • Greenking66 Chris Green (@Greenking66) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Hi would it be possible for someone from your customer care based in the uk to phone me please.

  • MichaelGagaHale Michael Gaga-Hale (@MichaelGagaHale) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Now its 1600 tomorrow. Pathetic really, no explication for the fault or reason for delaying fix time.

  • MichaelGagaHale Michael Gaga-Hale (@MichaelGagaHale) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia Got a notification that the service has been fix. It hasnt, I still have no wifi or tv. Earliest an engineer can come is Saturday 🙄

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • burnleyben69 Ben Graham (@burnleyben69) reported

    @virginmedia has to have the worst customer service 6 times in two days trying to speak to someone to be cut off every time. #poorcustomerservice #disappointed #avoid no other way of contacting because the live chat just tells you to ring number

  • SandyLindsay Sandy Lindsay MBE 🐝 (@SandyLindsay) reported

    @virginmedia The problem is it’s stuck on the Home Screen saying HDMI1 and won’t shift off that no matter what I press! And yes I’ve rebooted the box.

  • CSGNinety CSG (@CSGNinety) reported

    @virginmedia down again every couple hours

  • Gavinio1 Gavin Ellis (@Gavinio1) reported

    @virginmedia another angle to just hang up on me for no reason. This is now a joke

  • KevBarnes_ Kᴇᴠ Bᴀʀɴᴇs (@KevBarnes_) reported

    3/ Chat from a browser works. If you like talking to offshore support who also will forget to progress your issue or suggest you call retentions on 150. Back to the phone loop again. Shocking service. @vmbusiness

  • SmittyCSGO Spedan (@SmittyCSGO) reported

    @virginmedia Internet is still down, been down all day, your website says the issue should be fixed by 3pm it is now 5, still nothing. Any update?

  • UpsyDaisy666 Cookie (@UpsyDaisy666) reported

    @SophieEB @virginmedia It's probably better to switch from Virgin. I found their customer service to be like the cystal maze - only less entertaining.

  • DaveTho84446190 Dave Thompson (@DaveTho84446190) reported

    @SophieEB @virginmedia Virgin are very unreliable. All hype, BT aren't any better. I've been with @TalkTalk for a few years now, dependable, fast speeds, and not a bad price

  • elburgo john clark (@elburgo) reported from Liss, England

    @SophieEB We gave up on #virginmedia very poor service

  • paulbryan69 paul bryan (@paulbryan69) reported

    @Shawry1984 @SophieEB @virginmedia How did you do it , been put on hold endlessly under some covid waffle until the frustration they are seeking overwhelms you and you hang up..
