    @virginmedia do I get an award. None hours on chat just clocked up and not one inch forward despite being passed from one wrong department to another when asked for customer services at 9.05am and have been through every department but then.

    @virginmedia great to see you hiked my price and the service is worse. And before you say it yes I have reset my box , that's all you ever say 🤬🤬

  • MissModette

    @RestartCarl @virginmedia BT are just as bad.

  • Jp_Leeson
    John Leeson (@Jp_Leeson) reported from Wibsey, England

    @virginmedia Yeah he turned up unannounced and left then after several calls got another engineer out who said the fibre cable is snapped and needs replacing and he could not give me a date or time as his emails on his pda are not working so I guess it’s left in the hands of the gods

  • guyrleech
    Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I do need assistance over why the 4G backup didn't kick in when I had an outage last week but I've raised that with you already, I hope

  • HarlamTK
    Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England

    @virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.

  • Gav_Leaf
    Gav Leaf (@Gav_Leaf) reported from Castleford, England

    @virginmedia £55 a month JUST for Internet from April? Been a customer for over 20 years when it was £20 a month. Loyalty just gets you taken advantage of I guess.

  • Yamusenghore
    Yamu Matarr 🇬🇲 🇬🇧 🦂 (@Yamusenghore) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia. It's getting ridiculous that my Internet has been jumping up and down like a skipping rope. LS8. I can't get anything done due to no connection. I do not want to use my mobile data anymore. Please sort this.

  • a8dullah_mulla
    Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported from Heckmondwike, England

    @virginmedia somethings never change, £21 price increase can’t get you good customer service. Complaint logged for the second time, will I get response this time? 🤔

  • Mcollinson72
    Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, England

    What an absolute shower of shite service as usual from @virginmedia they literally couldn’t care any less

  • jamiewhalley87
    Jamie Whalley (@jamiewhalley87) reported from Wakefield, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected

  • GavHeaton
    That Heaton Mess (@GavHeaton) reported from Wibsey, England

    @virginmedia this is ridiculous now! Broadband keeps dropping out, as usual you guys keep claiming nothing wrong at your end but social media says otherwise. There is people all other FB in particular saying they're had nothing but problems past couple of month.whats going on???

  • SiDay14
    Simon Day (@SiDay14) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia Did you even read the thread?? Now you want me to complain about an issue I’ve complained about several times already? The whole point is your pathetic response to issues!

  • Barry80901949
    Barry (@Barry80901949) reported from Bradford, England

    @virginmedia Have you received my email yet? 21 hours and no response to confirm as you said you would. Still an absolute **** show of a company

  • mariaspears
    maria (@mariaspears) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @virginmedia I have had no service for 2 days and I’m having issues logging in to my account as it won’t recognise email/password….. help!

  • SheltonAndy
    Andy Shelton (@SheltonAndy) reported from Heckmondwike, England

    Absolutely disgraceful service from @virginmedia again. If I could change I would! Do not go with them if you have a choice!!

  • a8dullah_mulla
    Abdullah Mulla (@a8dullah_mulla) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @virginmedia well done 👏🏽 new way of resolving complaints! Offer a resolution that you know customer won’t accept so you can pass on to an adjudicator… all in a record time of 8mins!!!

  • SamWalker03
    Sam Walker (@SamWalker03) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia are up there with the worst companies for customer service. Their IVR is infuriating, they hang up on you when you do manage to get through and then tell you there is no way to make a complaint ! @Ofcom do you regulate these clowns 🤡

  • trlawlor
    Tom Lawlor (@trlawlor) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia Have you tried turning it off and back on again? That appears to be your answer to every technical issue.

    @virginmedia E mails crashed out 2 days ago. OH rang & eventually spoke to a human. Apparently it’s a widespread problem. We need the emails. This is shoddy service. When is it going to be fixed. Not good enough

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8K_Ultra_IPTV10  offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  • Si_67
    Si (@Si_67) reported

    @virginmedia Our broadband has recently started to fail on a daily basis. It has been fairly reliable until a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it comes back after a while, but this really isn't good enough in 2026, especially bearing in mind how much it costs. What's happening?

  • MrMufc77
    ABDUL (@MrMufc77) reported

    @virginmedia yes there has been a outage for over a week now they fix the problem then it goes off again after a few hours 😡

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Agree, my poor wife trying to deal with VirginMedia who are still sending bills 2 years after his death & 3 months after his bungalow was sold!!!

  • jemonthesofa
    Jem (@jemonthesofa) reported

    @virginmedia Huh, bet that's why we've had rubbish service lately, local toddlers walking past pulling em. It's a monstrosity!

  • MichaelLCrick
    Michael Crick (@MichaelLCrick) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK As I have said here before, Virgin Media treat customers with total contempt. The worst type of British capitalism. Branson must be so ashamed.

  • DrAmirHamid
    Dr Amir Hamid (@DrAmirHamid) reported

    @virginmedia 2nd time in a month there has been a disruption in broadband. Poor

  • sjslfcforever
    Si Smith (@sjslfcforever) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve now been booted off the phone as your automated service is not very good and your live chat has kicked me off twice in the last half hour, I’m glad your saving money getting a bot to handle calls but maybe a human being would be better, could someone contact me.

    lynda (@lynport) reported

    Can you really afford such bad PR for your crass behaviour @virginmedia ? I think not. Wake up and put it right please.
