    @virginmedia I’ve given up for tonight. I’m struggling to deal with a company that has lied on record and taken money wrongfully out of my account. @MartinSLewis help!

    @virginmedia It is incredible, what you're doing is just pushing the date on your service page to one week to another. We don't have Internet for two months now! What are your engineers doing? I am going to cancel your contract and I will go with an better provider. @virginmedia #virginmedia

    @virginmedialife @virginmedia The worst service from any company I have ever used. I would like to be removed from your business accounts.

  • seanhannam
    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia Is this how you treat your ‘priority customers?’ During a cost of living crisis, we have chosen to stay with you, yet you can’t pull your finger out to look after your customers. I work from home but can’t fully use the service I’m paying for due to your incompetence.

    @virginmedia is everything ok with the network today? Router has been flashing red on and off all morning, really intermittent connection however nothing shown on the service checker. Done the usual unplugging of the router, checked cables etc however still flashing red, then…

    Drew Salisbury (@DrewSalisbury5) reported from Barnet, England

    [1] @virginmedia I have not had access to WiFi for a couple of days now. I have checked the cables, rebooted the Hub and run the final diagnostic tests several times. Still nothing. On the one hand, your system tells me that there is a wider broadband issue in the area and […]

  • paulstevenlewis
    Paul Lewis (@paulstevenlewis) reported from Mill Hill East, England

    @virginmedia So you cancel the service months if not years before the 4G replacement is a really extensive alternative, while increasing your prices and telling customers “sorry, but that’s tough”. I understand your team is just at the sharp end dealing with flack, but that’s really bad of VM

    TinaReadingEditor (@TinaReading) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia No and that's the problem. I need it for my grandsons 😪😪😪😪😪

  • seanhannam
    seanhannam (@seanhannam) reported from Chesham Bois, England

    @virginmedia We’ve spoken to eight people to try and resolve our internet issues.We’ve ordered new boosters because the new service isn’t compatible with the old ones.We’re a ‘priority customer’ - the new boosters still haven’t arrived…So frustrating. Your service is appalling.

    @virginmedia Not ******* good enough ,you charge me the earth promising the best Gig 1 and I have had problems ever since taking that upgrade ,

  • yessibelloperez
    Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England

    @virginmedia Yep, not good enough. What’s the issue? Why does it keep happening and what are you doing about it? And how are you compensating customers?

  • LinkedinMac
    Mac Laubscher (@LinkedinMac) reported from Bushey Heath, England

    @virginmedia any idea why services are down across the board in WD23 postcode area?

    @virginmedia I’m still stuck. No one answering the phone - my internet is down and I can’t get any service .. really need one of your service team to call me please on 07850 647 490

  • silvergoatish

    @virginmedia Duly noted. I'm not likely to be a customer for much longer though, with your general level of service and pricing.

  • magma62
    mara penzo (@magma62) reported from Brentford, England

    @virginmedia I know where to check, thanks! My problem still persist! It's Friday night and I have no Internet?! Why? They have been carrying out works for weeks now. I think I need a compensation. Why am I paying money for no service?

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • NewsTongueX
    NewsTongue (@NewsTongueX) reported

    🔴 Ofcom fines Virgin Media £28m for blocking customer cancellations Virgin Media breached UK telecoms rules by deliberately dropping calls, transferring customers unnecessarily, and placing them on hold to prevent contract cancellations between January 2022 and September 2024. Ofcom received nearly 2,000 complaints and found the company's retention agents operated under a commission scheme that financially rewarded obstruction. • Fine of £28m — Ofcom's largest ever under consumer protection rules, reduced 30% after Virgin Media admitted fault and agreed to settle • Millions of calls "likely mishandled" during the three-year period

  • Andrew_TRP
    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.

  • StacyMitchell2
    Stacy Mitchell (@StacyMitchell2) reported

    @virginmedia what’s with your broadband in South Bristol. It’s been slow as hell for a week and off completely for 2 days now. As soon as this contract’s up I’m going to sky

  • UFinlay33392
    Iran,Houth,Hez,Hams & Sky/BBC Lies#NeverAgainIsNow (@UFinlay33392) reported

    Virgin media Fined 28 million for tryjng to prevent customers leaving. No wonder people are sick of their **** service

  • Frugal_ways
    Deano... (@Frugal_ways) reported

    @benjaminlfc @O2 @virginmedia It's always the private browser software they fail on. Always states, "Access denied to this page" yet the options button asks me if, "I want to log out?" Funny that...

  • CBTwizard
    Shelton (@CBTwizard) reported

    Good @Ofcom 28 million fined to the parasites that are Virgin Media. Good. I have been victim to this horrible pass on pass on (6+ hours on the phone) department to department and back to start again, as well as a 2 year new contract without my consent (early termination £500 being chased for, after 2000+ disconnections in a month, email proof, text proof, delayed line fixes) list goes on. Parasites, charging elderly people £70+ for like 100mb Maybe @MartinSLewis applied some well deserved pressure. If I'm not mistaken @dshensmith had issues too.

    @virginmedia I rang your service number and there is an issue in the area

    inthezone (@inthezoneuk) reported

    If you’re with Virgin Media and have had issues, I would leave them if you have the option. A company that treats its customers like this, doesn’t deserve customers. This starts from the top of Virgin media. Will @richardbranson allow his brand to be trashed like this? Or does he not care anymore?
