-
Martin Moscrop 🎺 (@martinmoscrop) reported from Salford, England@LennieThevan @virginmedia That sounds terrible Lennie. If you want to change a plan and save money they go out of their way to be unhelpful. However, if you want to spend more their customers service Is better.
-
johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia If that was the only issue than yes that would be the logical next step. But as you’ll see from the previous tweets and email sent on Wednesday it isn’t. All the issues need dealing with in the round or otherwise I’ll have to cancel and go back to sky.
-
Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia As I say. I don't like publicly shaming a company that was once good. But your customer service is an absolute disgrace
-
Sandy Lindsay MBE 🐝 (@SandyLindsay) reported from Sale, EnglandHave @virginmedia gone down in South Manchester??? Been kicked off the wifi!
-
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
-
GLENN (@gbmcfc) reported from Manchester, England@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.
-
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!!
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia It works intermittently. When I speak to an advisor they fix the issue at that moment. Then, the next day it’ll cut out again and the process repeats. It was working when the engineer left, but it didn’t last 24 hours. Intermittent isn’t good enough. I rely on you for work.
-
Laura May (@Laura_May_Ness) reported from Manchester, EnglandHi @virginmedia I have just moved into a new apartment where Wi-Fi is included. I have registered as a resident and I have received a pre-contract email but no account number and I am unable to connect to the Internet. Can you help me set things up?
-
JJ (@johnjoeoregan) reported from Manchester, England@stetopping Remember you did the piece late last year about Virgin Media Broadband being out for a day? It's now been down for six days in some parts of Manchester. Six full days and not a word from the company except automated messages.
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia Have you just stopped responding now? Having some system issues?
-
Adam🍺 (@MCR_ADM) reported from Stockport, England@virginmedia No they’re helping. But it’s VERYYYY slow. But almost there.

Kelly Walsh (@Kellywalsh758) reported from Stockport, England@virginmedia Iv asked lots of questions that have gotten me no where. To be hung up on over & over. They gave me a date of 17th December for it to have it installed no reasons as to why nothing explained I just think it’s a joke and the costumer service is dreadful. To have to wait 6 weeks!!
-
Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England@virginmedia network down again in Heywood appalling lack of service yet again
-
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
-
Richard Ashton 💙🇺🇦 (@Rik_Ashton) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England@SkyUK My Sky package is slowly edging up. Some new customer deals from a couple of years ago have worsened discounts but... I'm still around £30 a month better off than when I was with Virgin Media. Never going back.
-

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

Cailìn-deas 🇮🇪💚 (@Cailndeas260812) reported@nicolatallant Nicola...with your experience in investigative journalism you should be all over this! I have never heard of such widespread corruption. You know what should be done here. Do the right thing. Ask the questions.... Start with the Shilling report...or how about the fact there is NO PULSE RECORD for #MrP regarding the allegations and subsequent harrassment of #MrP. The enablement and cheek turning is disgusting. Do your job. @rtenews @virginmedia
