Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.

Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, EnglandOn hold with @virginmedia for 20 minutes then they decided to cut my call.. great service. 👍
-
Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, EnglandLooks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?
-
Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported from Whitley Bay, England@Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently
-
JOP (@40yearsofhurt) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.
-
Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England@markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly
-
Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.
-
Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia can you help me please everytime I try to log in the virgin media app on my mobile account it's logs me off all the time why ?
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia I was told to log into the Myo2 app to change it myself, but I have been sent no login details and of course if the email address is incorrect it won’t be recognised if I try to register. O2 said we would receive texts with updates on number port timeline but had no communication
-
NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandTime for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.
-
Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?
-
LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, EnglandWhy can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, EnglandYe gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

-
Paul Turner™ (Personal) (@PaulTurner140) reported@DrealSMAK @virginmedia Don’t waste your time. They only want you to DM them to keep your complaint from public view.
-
nigel (@redwallreality) reported@biggle1908 Virgin media broadband is excellent. Problems start when you phone them…if you understand Indians with a less than rudimentary ability to speak English, go for it.
-
Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported@virginmedia I did direct message 4 days ago, nobody read or replied. I’ll recap- 2 weeks no service, five engineers sent to diagnose the same problem multiple times, no fix. Complaints team open and close complaints immediately with no resolution. Fix not due for at least another week.

Zoe Smith (@ladyspeakerz) reported@andyburnham PLEASE READ THIS TWEET EVERYONE. IF ANY VIRGIN MEDIA STAFF AT BAGULEY MANCHESTER CALL CENTRE WHERE I WORKED WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR SLANDERING ME / FRAMING ME. THEN HERES PROOF THAT COMPANY ARE A BUNCH OF CRUEL UNETHICAL IMMORAL SCAMMERS YOU DONT THINK IF THEY CAPABLE OF DOING THIS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY CAPABLE OF DOING TO A WOMAN THEY HATE AND NO DOUBT JEALOUS OF here’s some confirmed validated real evidence NOT THEM BEING FRAMED that the staff at Virgin media call centres were all pardoned allowed to scam MILLIONS of their customers Here is proof Copied and pasted from Google please refer to articles in the press that confirm this what I’ve tweeted here If you think moral decent people do this to their customers scamming them in a cruel cold way SEEK JESUS  Virgin Media was fined a record £28 million by Ofcom in July 2026 for deliberately making it difficult for customers to cancel their contracts and switch to rival providers. Investigation Findings The regulatory investigation covered calls made between January 1, 2022, and September 11, 2024. Ofcom found that MILLIONS of customer service interactions were mishandled to prevent or delay cancellations. Specific tactics included: • Deliberately dropping or hanging up calls when customers asked to cancel. Putting callers on hold for no reason to frustrate them Excessive and unnecessary call transfers between departments. Using a two-tier retention system where only specific agents were allowed to process final cancellations. THIS LOT ARE CONFIRMED CRUEL SCAMMERS

Gary (@gazi1684) reported@virginmedia @rayquannnnnnn Is there a problem in the wallsend area with broadband?
-
Wingssherpa (@WingsSherpa) reported@VirginMedia_TV Shouldn’t it be ‘heavy entertainment’? I’ll look forward to that on Virgin Media Player. Actually, no I won’t because it never puts anything on there for UK viewers.

🇬🇧 Rob @No-Bull-Politics 🇬🇧 (@bull_robin56713) reported@virginmedia I'm sure I'm not alone in having asked you to reduce my service, such as cancelling a second set-top box, in order to reduce my bills. As you can see here I asked for my bills to be reduced in Jan 2024. Yet notice how those bills have crept up again ever since. There has been no increase or improvement in the service you provide to justify this. According to my analysis, despite having gained a better paid job recently, my net income is down 4.2% compared with 5 years ago. Like many, I am going to have to tighten my belt, and those bills that increase without any prior warning must be the first to go.
