iWalkOutdoors (@iWalkOutdoors) reported@jollyjapes Zero. Never have in the full 15yrs of trading. Don’t know how much a van costs? You think there’s enough left for dividends? Perhaps you’re mistaking me & my biz for a CEO of BP or a regional manager of VirginMedia. I bloomin live on a housing estate with other working ppl.

Dippy | Brig Content Creator (@Itsdippylive) reportedIn the same 28 April email, Virgin Media wrote: "a dedicated chat-based support route for customers with reasonable adjustments is needed... an area where we must improve." They wrote that 6 days ago. Today the next cycle broke.
-
George W (@Fraudly_) reported@virginmedia your online service is an absolute joke. You notify me of new monthly fee starting in May and I need to look at other packages if I want to change before new price takes effect. Only for your site to be riddled with errors and your bot to give me a broken link! With that link switching between error message and taking me right back to that same chat! And I shouldn't need to go round in circles chatting about an upgrade, much easier just doing it myself on your site. If it actually worked.

Harry (@Rzchy) reportedDoes anyone on virgin media get 15% packet loss and 225 ping on west host? It’s been happening for about 3 weeks now got to be a fix somewhere
-
John Bolas (@JohnBolashello) reported@virginmedia Good morning, many thanks for your help! I didn’t realise I could do that!
-
AKW (@EdenPrime88) reported@virginmedia could you please reply to a complaint submitted for account 141321301 Area 02. The situation has gotten absolutely ridiculous
-
Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported@virginmedia we’ve had complete loss of internet since 2/5/26 due to broken cable, yet no proper fix or technician visit despite repeated promises. Instead, you sent someone to “clean router” & logged it as speed issue not total outage. It is unacceptable. Plz resolve urgently
-
Jambo (@The_real_Jambo_) reported@virginmedia @officialprendie I live in this area and lost connection about 20mims ago. Router is flashing red. I work from home, how long will this take to fix?
-
kellyann (@kellyan99166027) reported@virginmedia since 1pm yesterday afternoon we have been told that the problem is being fixed. Every time the estimated time comes up you change it again. We have little to no information about what’s happening. Could you please advise on when. It will be corrected ?
-
Ian Scott (@IanScott_01) reportedAnyone having problems with @virginmedia internet. It's been dropping off and on for a few days, now it's gone off Newcastle East.

David kirk (@Selhurst1905) reported@virginmedia @JuicyPolarBear Please mate contact @ virgin media 2 weeks not being able to access the app and your customer services just lie and fob me off. Not worked since I joined disgusting services
-
James Drury (@jamespdrury) reportedConsidering Virgin Media broadband but don't want a Hub 5? If you're in a VM full fibre area, GiffGaff broadband comes with an Eero 6+ and 900Mb (UP & DOWN) is just £32 per month, no mid contract increases. Use own router for upto 1.2Gb. Use referral code K0DEJXGV for £50 credit.
-
Asif Rana (@HounslowParking) reported@bt_uk I'd like to know why your business broadband so called service, can only compound its utter uselessness with skyscraper level brain numbing stupidity? I thought @vmbusiness was utterly indescribably ****, until you came along. You literally make them look like geniuses.
-
Frank 🇬🇧 💎 (@PureSesh48) reported@grok how many times have I reported. Virgin media being down on this account?

david hesketh (@davaecho) reported@virginmedia after 20 years have just cancelled my contract awful customer service your company will be on its knees if this continues
-
Mrmutherfukery (@Mrfutherfukery) reported@virginmedia @fanboyofnolan Yes, absolutely they do **** all even if you can actually get you speak to a person. Which is near impossible. Very bad company if you cancel your contract they call you in about 10 minutes 🤑🤑🤑🤑

-
Oisín (@Usheen1) reported@adrianweckler The question is will their router support modem mode? Virgin media hub 5x is a dud
-
Pavlova (@uk_pav) reported@virginmedia 18 months loyal, 1 Gig, zero issues. Renewal offer: £33 for 125 Mbps (250 Volt) – worse than new deals. Customer loyalty clearly means nothing.
-
Tre (@Liafreytre) reported@AndrewW12290183 @virginmedia They never send them. Still have old crap of theirs from years ago.
-
Nicholas Rawlings (@nick_rawlings2) reported@virginmedia #virginmedia are there any issues in the Orpington area? Broadband keeps dropping out. There's nothing on your status page.
-
ohsandra70 (@KayCee312898473) reported@virginmedia increased bill to £70 but internet service is crap!
-
John M (@john1mccarthy) reported@virginmedia I'm shocked!! Someone actually called me just now. Albeit 4 days late, but I guess that's just how you guys work. No real news, I'm still not due any form of service from you until May 14th, so a bit of a waste. Amazing what a bit of negative pr on X can do
-
Ryan Bowles (@Welshryan17) reported@virginmedia why does my Internet just die for no reason I mean I'm paying £73 for disconnecting and poor performance I'm paying for 1gb but only getting 100mb at the most it's kinda starting to annoy me at this point
-
Sue Rouse💙 🇺🇦 (@rouse_sue) reported@virginmedia your customer service is appalling. Keep being given the run around and no action. Hate to do it this way.
-

-
Simply Norwegian (@simplynorwegian) reported@virginmedia I need some help resolving an unauthorised account creation, outstanding unlawful charges and failure to resolve despite numerous calls and written correspondence dating back to October 2025. What number can I call to speak to someone with authority to end this??
-
Accessible Waterways Association CIC (@accesswaterways) reported@NicolaG01 @virginmedia My experience of Virgin has always been they suffer from technical issues. Many is the time in the past I have called them, they have told me to do things at my end which I know will achieve nothing... and then it magically works!
