As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.

Aquanaut 2025 (@aquanauts2019) reported@virginmedia You are going down hill rapidly. Top management need replacing with someone who can sort your company out. I have put off spending an hour plus on the phone to sort out TV pixelation. Also fed up with being fobbed off with secondhand kit. I am out ASAP

Virgin Media has been fined £28m for repeatedly preventing customers opting out
-
Lyn Prodger (she/her) (@Prodgey) reported@virginmedia I’ve just sent you yet another DM. Same one I’ve sent countless times with no resolution or response.

Reb (@UserrReb) reportedOfcom has ordered #VirginMedia to check that every affected customer who complained has received the compensation or other remedies to which they may be entitled within the next six months. A disgusting company that no-one should touch.

Christine Hughes (@CristionaAodha) reportedVirgin Media are absolute disgrace, they left an elderly man living alone without broadband and telephone for three weeks now due to an error on their part, they had the wrong account number on their system. Terrible customer service. @SpeedVirgin @Virgin @VirginMedia_TV
-
Coaster Addict (@Andrew_TRP) reported@MoneySavingExp I’ll never use Virgin Media again. Moved house in 2024 when I was out of contract, they put me on a new 18 months contract without telling me. No email, no letter. Complaints come to nothing. Terrible company.

Bill (@W98AB) reportedWhen my dad like 10 years ago tried to cancel his virgin media contract he crashed out harder than he did when he got divorced.
-
Tommy Jones (@TommyJonesUK) reported@TheGriftReport Virgin Media fined £28m for trapping customers like hostages who can’t cancel. Their service is slower than rigor mortis, but leaving? Harder than faking your own death to escape.
