Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • tuxedotsb Shane B (@tuxedotsb) reported

    @virginmedia hello? I need help. The engineers left an incomplete job! And wires are all hanging out. I’ve tried to call and waiting over 2 hours to only be hung up on! Great customer service here..

  • TimShaw_Infra Tim Shaw (@TimShaw_Infra) reported

    Cut off 5 times. Over 2 hours on phone. Spoken to 7 people in 3 departments and no resolution. Disgraceful customer service @virginmedia

  • virginnomedia VirginNoMedia (@virginnomedia) reported

    @virginmedia @mrkevkennedy We are just as likely to be able to help though.

  • MeganAimee12 Meganaimee (@MeganAimee12) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve tried but can never get through and every time I’m told my issues will be solved there not

  • virginnomedia VirginNoMedia (@virginnomedia) reported

    @Jon_Tom75 @virginmedia We would have thought as an existing customer you’d be use to having no broadband, where we feel it is essential that new ones get to experience how bad we are.

  • mrchrisfloyd chris floyd (@mrchrisfloyd) reported

    @virginmedia over 30 hours without internet now. The time for “estimated fix” has been changed 9 times since yesterday. It now says 10am today. What you think the chances are the time changes again? Sort it out in the NR30 area. @Ofcom is this amount of time acceptable?

  • Liam88714344 Fight Milk (@Liam88714344) reported

    @virginmedia It is now back on, experienced the whole of yesterday without it on and this is worse as we have people working from home here, we pay a lot for your service so I would hope there would be some sort of compensation

  • danj2k Dan Jackson (@danj2k) reported

    @virginmedia no, it says "no known issues" but my internet's gone up and down at least 2 or 3 times this morning. I ran your test (using 4G on my phone) but it said there weren't any problems with the line.

  • AndyRAFC69 Andy Mc 💙 (@AndyRAFC69) reported

    @plc69 We have Virgin Media and it’s overpriced and ****, but the broadband is very good. We threatened to leave recently and got a better deal and lots more channels

  • Mr_Saurabh_Rana Saurabh Rana (@Mr_Saurabh_Rana) reported

    @virginmedia Called Virginmedia, Jonathan picked and did cut the phone abruptly, again called phone received by Ajay, he assured me its sales team issue passed my phone..

  • Sweee42 Sue Lockwood 💙 (@Sweee42) reported

    @virginmedia It’s ok at the minute but it’s only a matter of time until it happens again. The signal seems to drop out and then I have to reboot. Don’t mind once in a while but not several times just to get through a film!

  • virginnomedia VirginNoMedia (@virginnomedia) reported

    @Mr_Saurabh_Rana @virginmedia We are so sorry to hear this. We have sent you an email explaining how to get the best out of your broadband, but is seems to have bounced back. Is there an issue with your connection?

  • Jon_Tom75 Jon_Tom (@Jon_Tom75) reported

    @virginmedia So basically you are trying to twist the truth by saying all your current services are essential when it's a fact they are not. Installing a TV box for a new or existing customer is non essential yet you still do it for new ones. Fine when it suits you !!

  • gunsmoke70 Richard Martin (@gunsmoke70) reported from Colchester, England

    @virginmedia what’s the issue with the service in colchester CO2 area

  • stormbrewery Sam Leach (@stormbrewery) reported

    @virginmedia complaint raised 6 weeks ago not resolved, how can I escalate this?

  • Gemntilly Gemma Anson (@Gemntilly) reported

    @virginmedia He didn't say, just that they would be out to fix it.

  • vickiesilvey Victoria Silvey (@vickiesilvey) reported

    @virginmedia I have checked and there are no known issues. I think it's the box but I'm fed up of being given more over the phone instructions and still have the same issues

  • agentginger agentGinger (@agentginger) reported

    @virginmedia No complaint reference, no reply.

  • Elliott10210 Elliott (@Elliott10210) reported

    @AodhanORiordain @VMSportIE Clearly never watched Europa league coverage or champions league coverage on virgin media. Sticks the channel on once and makes an assumption. No wonder Labour are on 4% in the polls and going further down.

  • ShaunGr66308379 Shaun Grant (@ShaunGr66308379) reported

    @BainzyC All scams, from inland revenue, d.v.l.a ,virgin media, I had them all. Take no notice, if they were legitimate they would contact you by letter to say there is a problem. If they ring you tell , tell them to put in writing, them contact the real dept, they will confirm its a scam

  • mrchrisfloyd chris floyd (@mrchrisfloyd) reported

    @virginmedia It’s fixed now. But I’m told no refund or anything until after 24 hours, which it has been. But just spoke to you again on the phone and now told 48 hours. That can’t be right. I’ve been told 24 so surely has to be followed up with @Ofcom. Loss of service for 38 hours total

  • shaomeeng Shaomeeng (@shaomeeng) reported

    @virginmedia @robertl54592803 The phone calls were recorded! You will have open them to feel your poor and time wasting service. You will be stressed out if you put your feet in customers shoes

  • myPoliticoUK myPolitico🐬 #PoliticsIsDead #SaveYourself (@myPoliticoUK) reported

    @virginmedia A communications company doesn't have an email address? Great..........🙄 I'll sit on hold for another hour to be cut off again then, all the while paying you for a service I'm not receiving. Thanks for the suggestion 👏👏

  • LolaKissesDeath Lyla A*+ (@LolaKissesDeath) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve seen something about it being a problem in the area

  • chezzaa94 Cheryl (@chezzaa94) reported

    @virginmedia Your business is such a joke. Over 6 hours on hold in just 1 week and constantly getting cut off. You are blatantly ignoring our official complaint.l and continue to charge us when we have left because you don’t cover our new home. DISGRACEFUL

  • LolaKissesDeath Lyla A*+ (@LolaKissesDeath) reported

    @virginmedia is there a issue with broadband? I can’t phone n check as my landline phone is rubbish and I’ll be on hold for hours

  • dave_caller David (@dave_caller) reported

    @virginmedia having internet issues in Bournemouth. Have turned hub3 off and on and also rest hub but connection drops out. When it’s on it’s only 18.3 Kbps download speed before losing connection. No issues shown on your website. Please fix the issue 🙏

  • danj2k Dan Jackson (@danj2k) reported from Cambridgeshire, England

    @virginmedia Yeah it's not WiFi because it's affecting my pc which is connected via an Ethernet cable to the back of the hub. Just now it went down and came back up but there was no change to the lights on the hub.

  • virginnomedia VirginNoMedia (@virginnomedia) reported

    @virginmedia @KillerKitten281 In all honesty, we cannot help in any way shape or form, but we can ask you to tell us the same information you have already given 100’s of times and then tell you to call the help line that you are complaining about. Does that help? Oh, and have you tried turning it off and on?

  • sarahdigy Sarah Diggens (@sarahdigy) reported

    @virginmedia is there an issue is the So30 area we keep reporting faults and it’s coming back saying there isn’t one yet we have very little connection
