    I have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.

    @virginmedia It's nothing you can help with on twitter unfortunately 😞.

    @virginmedia Well you find I'm cancelling my contract with yourselves, hope you go bust, your customer service team is a shambolic embarrasment. Loyalty works both ways.

    @virginmedia No it’s not, and it has now transpired that your customer services agent told me a direct lie that there was a fault in my area when there is not. Someone else has now booked an engineer to come out - next Wednesday. I can’t even have my heating on as that’s controlled vía wifi

  • birdflu_7

    @virginmedia I have numerous emails of my complaint , all of them paying lip service so to speak .

  • CallyRaven
    Carol Rowles (@CallyRaven) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @virginmedia And our Internet is down again this morning! So because its intermittent we don't get compensation, tried to call, can't get through (have to do it on mobile, our 'landline' is now internet reliant!)

  • michaelclark09
    Michael Clark (@michaelclark09) reported from Sale, England

    @Shredda @virginmedia Oh damn, that's peak. Might just be a coincidence then 🤔

  • Slt4K
    SLT4K 👨🏻‍💻 🇬🇧 (@Slt4K) reported from Urmston, England

    @virginmedia / Super disappointed after calling to renew my contract and as an existing customer you can’t offer anything half as good as a new customer. Shocking customer retention strategy 🤯

  • blokealex
    alex. (@blokealex) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia Complaint is about billing after cancellation, your staff refusing to process my request to cancel and being told a different thing every time I call back… it’s been awful.

  • PaulRegent1
    Paul Regent (@PaulRegent1) reported from Bolton, England

    @virginmedia no internet available in Bolton - must be an outage as, although coverage is very poor, it isn’t usually this poor!!

  • roslers_vest
    Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England

    @virginmedia Submitting a complaint will probably result in an apology at best. Given I pay £1k per annum for an unreliable service it’s time to look for an alternative provider who can offer a more satisfactory customer experience

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?

  • Miniboom2
    Rach (legacy fan) (@Miniboom2) reported from Salford, England

    Ah @virginmedia with this up and down service today you are really spoiling us!

  • dantheman8t5
    Daniel McDermott (@dantheman8t5) reported from Dukinfield, England

    @virginmedia Not as yet. Just that my postcode seems to be affected when checking service status

    @virginmedia Issues with all VM services in my area says expected fix by 4:40pm today.

  • ClaireabelleRed
    CLAIRE GROVER 🐝 (@ClaireabelleRed) reported from Bury, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for updating I've had my 82 year old dad on the phone as he only has the main tv channels so I guess its the same issue as the pixalation issues. I'll let him know

  • elisabethhilto4
    Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England

    @virginmedia Trying to make a complaint - signed up to a deal I clearly asked not to be. Your website doesn’t work and can’t get through on the phone. Can someone please dm me with a way to speak to someone urgently

    @virginmedia Care to give a reason reason for the outage today? 28/05/2026. Est fix of 5:05 pm and no concrete reason why is not acceptable as that wipes a whole day of work for those who wfm. Transparency and actual details shared with your customers would be nice.

  • pam_flyers

    @virginmedia what is wrong with the tv service in the KY6 2BT area? When will it be fixed?

  • ScottyS396
    Scotty 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 🏳️‍🌈 #YES (@ScottyS396) reported

    "There's a broadband issue in your area" Aye, no **** @virginmedia. But there was no issues till your engineer turned up at lunchtime and started fiddling with the cabinets! 😩

  • radavies_art
    Richard Davies FRSA (@radavies_art) reported

    Dear @virginmedia I’ve had no TV signal for almost a month. When I contacted you, I was twice left on hold for over an hour; when I finally spoke to someone, I was assured reception would be restored within 24hrs, that was two weeks ago!

  • taree_ru
    taree-ru (@taree_ru) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia @VisionExpress keep sending my now 4 years deceased mother reminders for her eye test. This is despite meinforming them by calling them, attending a store in person and returning to sender the mail. Horrible reminders which are so unnecessary. Well done for calling virgin out.

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 That’s an excuse, not a reason. Nobody cares if your records were not fully updated, that’s your problem.

  • CryptoVecna
    Saviour (@CryptoVecna) reported

    @JamieGBarry @virginmedia And how would this be funded exactly? What a stupid take. Let's get free food too, and electric and gas... And petrol because I have to drive to work

  • bonesyboy38
    bonesy (@bonesyboy38) reported

    @virginmedia @PeteUK7 Maybe employ humans that would rectify this problem.

  • Synifx
    Syni (@Synifx) reported

    @marlino @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Just speculating based on industry patterns. A lot of the understaffing has come because companies think that AI is the future, despite how incompetent it still is at customer service matters. More stuff gets escalated to fewer people.

  • ItsMeFletch_
    Fletch (@ItsMeFletch_) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Proper *****…! When my old man died, I called into tell them and try to cancel, explained that I was doing all I could when the call handler asked “could I speak to the account holder to confirm the details” Absolute **** stain of a company.
