    @virginmedia HI, your on-demand service is not really on- demand, I tried to watch Sundays Line of Duty today it is not on demand unless I pay another service, why is this.

  • AhsatanRevolg Natasha (@AhsatanRevolg) reported from Rochester, England

    @virginmedia I had no Virgin Media services in Feb. Nor in Easter. Neither do I have them today. Technicians don’t turn up when booked. Today I am using my mobile network 4G to look for a reliable internet service because yours is letting me down too often. Thank you, next.

    @virginmedia 2nd complaint made via your website as still no contact from the resolution team!

    @virginmedia Another week has passed, still no contact from your unbelievably awful resolution team!

  • MalcolmLouth Mac (@MalcolmLouth) reported from Grays, England

    @virginmedia My approach is simply to contact my service provider who I pay a lot of money to and ask them to sort it. That hasn’t worked.

  • nicolleclothier nicolle clothier (@nicolleclothier) reported from Gillingham, England

    Never use @virginmedia for broadband there useless! I was on the phone to them for 1hour & 30 mins my issue still hasn’t been resolved & they passed me to 4 different members of staff then they put the phone down on me! Complete ignorance!

  • njfishingtackle NJ Fishing Tackle (@njfishingtackle) reported from Meopham, England

    Virginmedia, biggest bunch of robots since terminator, remove your private information cost you thousands and still think they are allowed, even though they never informed us they would be closing our accounts after being customers for over 13 years #virginmediabadservice

  • nicolleclothier nicolle clothier (@nicolleclothier) reported from Gillingham, England

    @virginmedia I know what the problem is! Iv explained it to 5 of your members of staff and no one can help! You also want to charge me £100 for to leave you and that’s also what I haven’t asked for you!

  • njfishingtackle NJ Fishing Tackle (@njfishingtackle) reported from Meopham, England

  • Pegaso650 Jon Lovett (@Pegaso650) reported from Basildon, England

    @virginmedia This has been ongoing for over a month now. Pixelated on BBC2, E4, Channel 5 etc. I’m entirely feed up with this awful service and this month my bill has increased again.

    @virginmedia your customer services is atrocious. When trying to sort out my brother-in-law affairs after he sadly lost his battle with cancer a couple of weeks ago. My wife has spent hours on the phone trying to get to someone who can help her. Please dm a direct no to call.

  • mackenziedarcy Michael harrison (@mackenziedarcy) reported from Grays, England

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • danshep1981 Daniel (@danshep1981) reported

    @virginmedia I can't believe it has been over 1 month to install broadband and TV with no confirmed date. I have been pushed from pillar to post and decided to cancel order; to then be told I HAVE TO call back because one of your departments cannot liaise with another.

  • AnguaSec advanced persistent imposter (@AnguaSec) reported

    Cancel breakdown cover, refund received in a few days time. Cancel insurance, refund received in a few days time. Cancel @virginmedia, get charged for the next month when you’re no longer a customer for more than you pay now and may get a refund in a couple months by cheque.

  • I_am_KenBarlow Ken Barlow (@I_am_KenBarlow) reported

    There's either a lot of scammers pretending to be #VirginMobile @virginmedia , or #VirginMobile have the world's worst rudest customer service people.

  • MahaRafiAtal Dr Maha (@MahaRafiAtal) reported

    @virginmedia Neither. Rather, a spotter was sent in June, but the engineer who then came to do the install this week challenged their finding, so our whole process has been restarted. The outcome now may be that Virgin cannot serve us at all. That is why the tech tomorrow may or may not help.

  • d4vyk4y JustVenting (@d4vyk4y) reported

    @virginmedia Because of exactly these tupe of responses. Still no resolution, and I'm sat next to the router with zero WiFi. Awful!!

  • baddersno7ynwa MarkB (@baddersno7ynwa) reported

    I’ve been a @virginmedia customer for 13 years and tonight they told me they don’t want me as a customer because I didn’t want to pay DOUBLE that of a new customer, so @skytv would you like a new customer?

  • KhujatoTayuun KhujatoTayuun (@KhujatoTayuun) reported

    @virginmedia I love your roaming charges when I have to call my bank and you cut me off with your subpar service after a 45 minute wait and I have to pay £90 for your incompetent service. Cheers

  • glendaokeefe gokeefe (@glendaokeefe) reported

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaIE the broadband has been down the last couple of hours in Cork, when will this be resolved?

  • MarblePyramid_ Richard J. Lockley-Hobson (@MarblePyramid_) reported

    Trying to check my never-working direct debit, but the @virginmedia website is dead. This really is going from bad to worse @santanderukhelp #virginmedia #santander

  • thesiboloy simon backler (@thesiboloy) reported

    @virginmedia I would love to be watching it but your customer service is the worst I have ever encountered. Repeatedly cut off our internet connection whilst trying to connect the tv. 3 weeks with no tv, customer services policy is to just hang up if they can’t help.
