    @virginmedia Guess what - a bit more weather about and Sky Sports Cricket goes down again. Done all the “it’s your fault/reboot” stuff to no avail. Virgin Media really are pants sometimes.

  • Dd_iyi DanUyi (@Dd_iyi) reported

    @virginmedia I am being bombarded by your sales agents trying to sell one package or the other to me in disguise to extend my contract. Immediately I tell them about the poor service, they hang up the phone right away. I'll advise people to avoid virgin media -they are out for the money.

  • serhat_ay_ Serhat Ay (@serhat_ay_) reported

    @virginmedia Doesn’t make any sense,it’s like that for like 4 months-never get stable broadband connection.Even except that auto message there is nothing doing,even didn’t asked where I am reaching from!I still texting this reply from my bloody mobile internet! Virgin Media-never ever again!

  • JellyIvy Ivy Mukherjee (@JellyIvy) reported

    @virginmedia @statusisdown virgin media internet is down since last night. its the 3rd time happening in the last 2 weeks. The customer support team is unhelpful to say the least. Engineer was supposed to come last weekend, but never showed up and never sent a single communication. Why am I paying so much to you if you are going to be down for days?

  • tomlin56408 Debra Tomlin (@tomlin56408) reported

    I want everyone to know I have been a virgin media customer for over 15 years. My virginmedia TV service stopped working in March 2025. I logged this with this bots. Thought something would be done. Did the whole thing turn of by switch wait then turn back on. No joy. Logged the

    @virginmedia seriously, 7 days since BB transfer, complete outage since 1pm today! Utter rubbish - 8 hours. I work from home and also no TV. The latter i can tolerate, the former has been a disaster. 3 years with @TalkTalk not one hour off line.

  • MrPeachUK MrPeachUK🖖 (@MrPeachUK) reported

    @dshensmith I moved from VMBusiness to Zen and never looked back. Virgin Media are a f*cking shambles to be honest.

  • Ndr2304Neil Neil Roberts (@Ndr2304Neil) reported

    @virginmedia Your service is extremely poor. My mum passed away in February and I called up your customer services to cancel her Virgin Media account. The man on the phone told me I couldn't cancel it but I could transfer the account into my name, wait 30 days and then cancel it.

  • martinianpaul Martin Paul (@martinianpaul) reported

    @virginmedia can you please explain why it is so very difficult now to log in to my @O2 account? And why my request for a password reset never works?

  • natalieb2689 Natalie Braithwaite (@natalieb2689) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 We’ve been without broadband completely since Friday lunchtime. Fix time keeps getting delayed. All phones on o2 and all down to 3G, occasionally 4G so cannot use my hotspot in order to work. This is ridiculous considering how much money I pay out on airtime!

  • natalieb2689 Natalie Braithwaite (@natalieb2689) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 been without broadband since Friday lunchtime - now down to 3G on o2 so can’t even use my hotspot. Any guidance?

  • rly1989 Rehana (@rly1989) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, my disconnection date from Virgin Media is today, I had Netflix in my package. Will Netflix automatically end today/tomorrow? Or do I need to cancel this separately with Netflix?

  • SusanHa85471577 Susan Harrison (@SusanHa85471577) reported

    @virginmedia That link didn't work. The issue was a virgin media issue yesterday

  • BenWBriscoe Ben Briscoe (@BenWBriscoe) reported

    Brand new @virginmedia customer. Generally impressed. But why is watching Disney +, Netflix etc through Virgin TV so clunky?! Really slow, takes forever to navigate and no ability to navigate these apps with voice… Have I actually downgraded..?!

  • rejectedtheoffa Matt (@rejectedtheoffa) reported

    @LeemingDarren @virginmedia Virgin Media customer services are absolutely awful. And I say that as a current customer. Keep all messages and open a complaint with them. Be prepared for them to say they'll sort it and close your complaint, numerous times. I've never dealt with a bigger bunch of liars

  • SirRodneyFfing The Sanity Clause🖖 (@SirRodneyFfing) reported

    Dear @SkyUK You are as bad as ******* @virginmedia Best regards

    So I managed to finally change my Virgin Media contract into my sole name on Saturday It’s been a nightmare I was promised no interruption in service etc etc Anyway, I’ve had no internet for 48 hours now. Well done @virginmedia 👍🏻

  • AlBooth Al Booth (@AlBooth) reported

    Has anyone else had @virginmedia charging them for services they don’t have? In May I asked about their TV package on the chat service. I still have Sky, I don’t have Virgin TV… but they’ve added it to my broadband bill & said it’ll be £600+ to cancel. Anyone else @BBCWatchdog?

  • AaronFalkirk Aaron Smith (@AaronFalkirk) reported

    @O2 recently taken out a new @virginmedia / @O2 VOLT contract with yourselves. Provided PAC code and ended up with a split port. Can make calls but unable to receive calls. Over 1 week on, numerous calls and no resolution. Can you help or pass me to the right team?

  • MalSannie Mal Sannie (@MalSannie) reported

    @virginmedia I can't get to the login page for skysports on a browser, it fails. And I also can't reset my sky pin in my sky device management page, it fails to send with an error message. It doesn't show any devices registered.

  • NadeemS64508308 Nadeem Shareef (@NadeemS64508308) reported

    @virginmedia I need to cancel my new Virgin media account. I can’t activate the equipment were received few days ago and I can’t use that.

  • WhiteHartMart WhiteHartMart (@WhiteHartMart) reported

    Another day, another loss in broadband service from @virginmedia - feels like the network is falling apart in PL12 lately. Hurry up with Ultra @bt_uk - I'll be switching in an instant.
