Dan Ashurst (@danashurst) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia Whoops. Maybe I should have clarified...My connection is fine, it's your packages that need to change to give more upload capacity to customers. P.s you guys deliver a solid service to me, and have done for years.
-
Dizz Sukha (@DizzSukha) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia All signals are working. My issue is I have been paying for anonymous call rejection for a few years and it has not been working since last year. I have rang up many times and still not fixed. I have been paying for this service even though it is not working!
-
mark blundell (@markymark2970) reported from Urmston, England@virginmedia You’re broadband signal has been dropping about a dozen times daily since October and the last one on Friday was for over 24hrs; my wife had rang numerous times and just keeps getting told outage problems in area .

NicoleMichelleBaker (@Nicole_Baker) reported from Whittle-le-Woods, England@virginmedia Hi Ty 4 the reply. Very frustrating when I'm using data at home just to receive watsapp messages. i spoke to someone yesterday afternoon. Some settings were changed & was promised it would elevate the problem, but as I described to the chap on the phone this will not rectify it.
-
Tina Lawrenson (@TinaLawrenson) reported from Chorley, England@virginmedia Have done each time wasting an hour of my time with no resolving .. not meaning to be harsh but not used to poor service wasted six hours already when you add up wasted hours
-
Victoria Smith (@vickymanutd7) reported from St Helens, EnglandSeriously @virginmedia are a shocking company, internet just goes down and phones and try to ring them and no answer I guess ur costumer service don’t want to explain why they haven’t got the service pay for well next call will be cancellation
-
Nat Chan 🐝 (@Natchanxo) reported from Walkden, Englandwhy are VM so SHITE. Had an agent tell me to BIN my new sim card as I didn’t need it & I can use my old sim card. I’m now paying for 2 sim cards and ones in the BIN...now they’re telling me I have to pay an ‘exit’ fee to ‘cancel’ the contract 😡 @virginmedia
-
Karen Jacqueline (@KazF2010) reported from Westhoughton, England@virginmedia Instead of providing all these "upgrades" to the service how about just providing a SERVICE that we pay for 🤬
-
Red Electro (@RedElectro) reported from Warrington, EnglandWell, @richardbranson @virginmedia - been a customer since the Telewest days, but the broadband service is almost unusable now. I don’t know what’s going wrong, but you’re going to start losing customers rapidly, if you don’t get this sorted.
-
Nath (@nathanrigby__96) reported from Tyldesley, England@virginmedia Internet went off last night in the area and it said it would be sorted for 10:30am this morning now the status has changed but still no ones internet is working, rebooting doesn’t help
-
Karen Jacqueline (@KazF2010) reported from Westhoughton, England@Netflixhelps No error message but it takes ages to load and then will pause..... and not play...... never know such a slow service considering I'm paying extra for this on @virginmedia
-
Victoria Smith (@vickymanutd7) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia Well I can’t because I haven’t got my account number at hand and it’s a waste of time ringing up your customer service to check because on hold for ages and can’t even use my phone because that isn’t working either

cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported from Barry, Wales@virginmedia I have a TiVo box but my tv screen keeps pixelating. It is not restricted to 1 channel. I have turned the box off at the plug but it has made no difference. Can you help?
-
PA➡️CA➡️UK (@scottloose) reported@virginmedia You seem to have the same access as the entire customer service call center. Who I’ve spoken to at length the past 3 weeks. None. @richardbranson
-
Manjit Gahir (@manjitgahir) reported@virginmedia what a crap install!!!! I told the engineer specifically not to hammer the wire into the wall...and did he do?! Not Happy!!
-
Merlyn_X (@LydonJC) reported@virginmedia At least provide a service that works then
-
CMDR Andy Fireblade Muza (@andymuza) reported@virginmedia I am already paying over the odds, WHY IS THIS? You should be reducing my bill or increasing my speed to 1GB not charging me more when I'm pay more than I should. 1gb package is £79 yet I am paying almost £82 for 362MBPS treat your customers better instead of making us pay more.
-
PA➡️CA➡️UK (@scottloose) reported@virginmedia And this is response is a perfect example of zero accountability, zero resolution and zero information. And I’m not even your customer yet. I can only imagine what happens once we are live on your service. @richardbranson
-
cheryl (@cherylockerby) reported@virginmedia No network issues in our area causing display issues
-
lou (@louisemknox) reported@virginmedia almost 3 hours of my day wasted on a live chat issue not resolved and they disconnected me. Poor customer service to loyal customers
-
Duncan Waugh (@waughzone) reported@virginmedia Subsequent paperwork stated 18 month contract (not what was agreed), a £40 installation fee (not what was agreed) and I have not received the fibre extender. If I could face the 2 hours it takes to actually speak to someone, I would call up now and cancel the whole thing.
-
CMDR Andy Fireblade Muza (@andymuza) reported@virginmedia And to add insult to injury. I have been a loyal customer of yours for more years than I can remember. My current package is costing me £81.75. The same package is i9n the winter sale for £39 normally £69 yet here I am paying almost £12 more and you are going to increase by £15
