Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia 3 x engineer visits, each time telling me there’s a blockage. Why does nobody fix it? I can’t even get through to cancel my services and get a refund for the direct debits I’ve paid when I’ve had zero service.

I keep getting multiple emails saying it'll be fixed by 12pm tomorrow, then 4pm Wednesday 12pm Thursday, 12pm Friday and now 4pm Friday.

-
Alison Metcalfe (@cocowills) reported@virginmedia broadband down again!!PR2 area!!
-
Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported@MrGee27 @virginmedia I disagree. Having suffered their appalling service too many times over the last six months, I think the senior management should be marched naked through the streets of Basingstoke and pelted with rotten fruit. Every weekend for a year.
-
Ian McNee (@IanSMcNee) reportedI ditched @VirginMedia years ago over terrible customer service - this is the same as water companies: a semi-monopoly owned by US finance: asset stripping profiteers. Switched to local independent Andrews & Arnold - @AAISP. Top service, real people on the phone who fix problems.
-
Ian F (@mashie1964) reportedI used to be with #VirginMedia for years. Service was poor, always having outages, sometimes for days. They’re the spivs of broadband communications. Now I see they’ve been caught abusing & trapping customers. Time they lost their licence to operate in the industry
-
PEER COMMUNITY HUB, Our Empowerment Zone! 🇨🇦✌️ (@p_communityhub) reportedVirgin Media was fined a record £28 million by the UK communications regulator, Ofcom, on July 8, 2026, for using deliberate tactics to trap customers trying to cancel their broadband, landline, or pay-TV services #News
-
Vocal and Proud (@Vocalandproudx) reportedThe £28 million fine by @Ofcom was long overdue. Hopefully, it sends a clear message to @virginmedia and the rest of the industry that making it difficult for customers to cancel simply isn’t acceptable.
-
BEAMS Consultants UK (@BEAMSEDU) reported@virginmedia Is there any technical breakdown on BH6 area where no Sky transmission? Or is this an isolated one incident linked to one property? We have no transmission since mid day today, 07/07
-
X Odus to Bluesky. (@PaulWatters2) reported@virginmedia are an absolute ******* awful company to try a deal with. Not a ******* clue about customer service. It's all about keeping you in contract. Bring back Telewest.
-
Kelly Kilner (@KellyKilner) reportedGood. This is the WORST telecoms company. I’m still reeling from the bad service i endured in Nov, Dec 2025. @virginmedia. I have said that I will write to Ofcom but tbh…I feel worn by them. There is a whole industry and profits based on BAD customer service.
-
Graham Hill (@grahamhill1) reported@MartinSLewis Virgin Media were terrible to deal with when I had a contract with them, terrible customer service up until I quit - only then did I get to talk to someone in charge. I still quit and signed up to @sky
