-
Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England@virginmedia Not good enough! I would believe you if this was the first time it happened but I am not paying £53.75 a month for this awful service and unreliable service… not when there are plenty of providers offering more for less.

Michael Butler (@Michael73942063) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England@virginmedia @LutzSchueler please help me here i am an O2 monthly paying customer , I’ve had a virgin email address for over 23 years and they just closed it no notice , or warnings and your team hides behind a policy that didn’t exist when i first got my virgin email address

Paul Swain (@PaulswainDJ) reported from Kings Langley, England@virginmedia This is boring. I’ll reach out to third parties to resolve my account issue.
-
John carroll (@Johnboy82903002) reported from Barnet, England@virginmedia Its a fault in the area, I have been given a fix time of 9am on the 19th for the landline and broadband, now my tv has gone down as well
-
Andy (@1SLToo) reported from Rickmansworth, EnglandMerry Christmas to all at @virginmedia who have left all of us in WD3 area with no TV or Internet for over a week (predicted) and probably longer over the entire festive period, moving to sky in the new year due to your continuing rubbish service and customer service
-
Spencer Millbery (@SMillbery) reported from Harrow Weald, England@virginmedia Service page says no issues.
-
Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported from Barnet, England@virginmedia @mundaytom Not true. No response to complaint letter sent August and when we’ve rung “manager will call you in 3-5 days”. Been told that 3 times. Not one callback. Shambles.
-
Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Harrow Weald, England@virginmedia If you remember I told you that it was likely that work occurring at the cabinet in our street caused our issue. The engineer visited and fixed the issue caused by that work. So, it was an engineer/maintenance caused issue.
-
Yessi Bello-Perez (@yessibelloperez) reported from Ealing, England@virginmedia I’m afraid not. I did ask to speak to a supervisor/manager and they said they would submit this request. My question is: is there actually a fault or is this an ongoing issue? It seems to be the latter, tbh.
-
Enrique Guadiz (@EnriqueGuadiz) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England@virginmedia WiFi is an absolute total **** of a service! Reliable WiFi With the hub 5 bullshit! Should be thrown out of the window! No WiFi /service in HP2!
-
Rebecca Dundon (@Rebeccadundon1) reported from St Albans, EnglandHey @virginmedia I've been on hold for 20 minutes and I'm losing the will to live. Need help with WiFi password
-
Mel B (@crimimel) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England@virginmedia Hope we’re getting a refund for lack of service as daughter is trying to write her 10,000 word dissertation but very difficult to do without internet. Should not advertise deals to new customers if you don’t bother sorting out the network issues. Cancelling
-
Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported from Croxley Green, England@virginmedia An engineer came today. Issue resolved. If you remember I told you that it was highly probable that work being performed at a cabinet on our street may have resulted in our issue. I also told your telephone support team. That’s exactly what had happened. Appalling service.
-
Thomas Pirouet (@ThomasPirouet) reported from Chesham Bois, England@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…

⚡️TᕼE ᕼYᑭEᖇ⚡️O Índio 🇧🇷🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@the_hyper) reported from Croxley Green, England@virginmedia all services are down in Watford/Croxley area! Modem with green light since 6am. Any idea??
-
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
-
Jacob Smith (@JacobWSmith10) reported from Camden, England@virginmedia @skytv can you please sort out the sky sports app. I cannot login in using my virgin media account. It will not load the password page. I don’t really see why it logs me out periodically in the first place.
-
maureen robert (@morish1) reported from Hillingdon, England@virginmedia This is false advertising. My broadband goes off more than it’s on and then it is so slow. I have lost count on the times I have called the help line. I have rebooted routinely, it works for a while then off again. I have had enough now as enough is enough!!!
Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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
-
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
-
Kelly Kilner (@KellyKilner) reportedGood. This is the WORST telecoms company. I’m still reeling from the bad service i endured in Nov, Dec 2025. @virginmedia. I have said that I will write to Ofcom but tbh…I feel worn by them. There is a whole industry and profits based on BAD customer service.
-
X Odus to Bluesky. (@PaulWatters2) reported@virginmedia are an absolute ******* awful company to try a deal with. Not a ******* clue about customer service. It's all about keeping you in contract. Bring back Telewest.
-
Andy Rossiter (@andy_rossiter76) reported@virginmedia VM: We’re switching you to VOIP phone Me: oh great now more stuff to go wrong In last 3 weeks the internet has gone down 4 or 5 times for 10 - 20 minutes, how can I check the status when all you do is point to a website 🤔🙈
-
Ailsa (@Ailsa56202286) reported(Part 2/4)It absolutely wasn't. As five medical students finishing university and being dispersed across the country, there was no practical way to continue using Virgin Media. We called to cancel... and were hit with a £450 early termination charge. We simply couldn't afford it
-
Ibam (@imzyii) reported@virginmedia I dont want to DM just listen and sort your phone line options out to make it easier for us customer to get through to the relevant teams without having to speak to a stupid voice recognition system
-
Christian Smith (@SmithChristian4) reported@lukerobins @virginmedia I can stomach the £2 difference in offering, not sure if it’s area based, but a £14 offer for an existing customer when a new one gets it much cheaper is where I draw the line. Virgin I DM’d you as requested and you’re yet to come back to me….
-
Big Kev (@BengalsKevUK) reported@BEAMSEDU @virginmedia Have the same issue
