Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • mark_xc Mark Baldwin (@mark_xc) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia why are you not supporting key workers through these challenging times? Both my wife & I are key workers supporting the NHS & the food industry from home yet you fail to fix our Broadband issues for 3 wks. We can’t work. You just fob us off @piersmorgan @BorisJohnson

  • oliver_jgm Oliver Gard-Murray (@oliver_jgm) reported

    @virginmedia My internet went down yesterday. After 1.5hrs on the phone with unhelpful and rude tech support, I was told it would be back online Friday. How are you supporting your customers during the pandemic when you don’t even provide the service we need to work remotely?

  • ADRyde2 Alex Ryde (@ADRyde2) reported

    @virginmedia is there a way to request to bring broadband to my area, keep saying write your details down but 2 years later still have bad Internet.

  • StrikezAFC RA (@StrikezAFC) reported

    How's my internet been down the whole day and it's estimated to be fixed tomorrow morning tf @virginmedia

  • Imple Sarah Skelton (@Imple) reported

    @virginmedia yo! What's a customer for to do to be able to downgrade packages? The website's all about fleecing us for even more money, not about how to help us save any.

  • Matt_BCC Matt (@Matt_BCC) reported

    @virginmedia engineer didn't turn up. Hospital relying on our landline (MIL dying) and your complaints process seeks to resolves issues "within 28 days"? Seemingly no other way of getting past your iron curtain to get some service. Seriously? #virginmedia

  • MaireadRG Mairéad Rose (@MaireadRG) reported

    @virginmedia I would like a response to my complaint please.

  • ameliaaaolive ᴀᴍᴇʟɪᴀ ᴏʟɪᴠᴇ (@ameliaaaolive) reported

    @virginmedia most useless company ever. Upgraded to a new to package, as a loyal customer. Unable to provide the channels and internet I am paying for. Can’t even provide me the right equipment I am paying for either to set it up; so can’t even use it and been paying for a week.

  • mark_xc Mark Baldwin (@mark_xc) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia why are not supporting key workers through these challenging times? Both my wife and I are key workers supporting the NHS & the food industry from home yet you fail to fix our Broadband issues for 3 weeks. We can’t work. @piersmorgan @BorisJohnson
