    Had a real problem with Virgin media. Was paying this month's bill when Virgin had a problem as with its auto payment service and the payment couldn't be processed. I then tried again via their website and the payment went through......

    @virginmedia It was a little more than short lasting pixelation! The channel kept dropping completely and during the main fight it felt like we were watching in slow motion.

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • zhel_weekly Zee Daily (@zhel_weekly) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, all of it. I have an intermittent connection, sounds like an interference problem with some other on the same slot, perhaps. I had an engineer booked for today between 12-4 and no one came with no further explanation. @virginmedia, you're awful.

  • amirkkhan_ amir khan (@amirkkhan_) reported

    @virginmedia I have already done this.. Even stood next to the booster and it says network access denied... Its odd as this never used to happen

  • norncat Catherine Lynn (@norncat) reported

    @virginmedia hi. My wifi is very intermittent. I used to get 100+ download and now I’m lucky to get 10-20. I’ve run every test in your website, reset everything and it’s showing no fault to the service.

  • newmantaz taz (@newmantaz) reported

    @virginmedia OK read the letter Need to book a technician so he's not cut off, problem is we have no idea of the password so we can't book a technician

  • norncat Catherine Lynn (@norncat) reported

    @virginmedia It’s showing no issues. I think someone’s damaged the brown box at the side of my house (kids play nearby) and that is what is causing my issue

  • Billybacon96 Bill (@Billybacon96) reported

    @virginmedia any idea what’s happening with your internet being down? Says service status unavailable

  • Josh23526653 Josh (@Josh23526653) reported

    If any other services are available in your area. Avoid @virginmedia at all costs. They cancelled our instillation with no valid reason, then rebooked, and have now cancelled again. A month of extensions with no help whatsoever. Years of payments and the worst service ever

  • lxketxylxr Luke (@lxketxylxr) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, yes and there aren’t any. I have been having issues for over 2 weeks. A engineer was to come today. You cancelled. An engineer was to come tomorrow. You cancelled. I am extremely annoyed at your service and lack of ambition to resolve it

  • RobLMyers Rob Myers (@RobLMyers) reported

    @punkbiznitch @virginmedia @O2 Will do, if anyone ever gets back to me to help…

  • punkbiznitch Zoe (@punkbiznitch) reported

    @RobLMyers @virginmedia @O2 Fingers crossed 🤞 let me know if you find a resolution
