Shar 💙 #IStandWithUkraine (@sharlewis58) reported from Hackney, England@virginmedia the tv connection has had a fault since 8th June. You are "working on it", & each day checking status the date to fix is moved further away. You do not refund for lack of service why is that? And text updates are not received. And its STILL not working.

Since agreeing package deal yesterday I've received FOUR different emails telling me I'm gonna be paying four different amounts, all higher than what was agreed. Absolutely terrible customer service and real headache

Lawrence ****** 🇺🇦 (@goonerlgh) reported from Islington, England@virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reportedHi @virginmedia This latest update appears to directly contradict the update you sent me earlier today. At 12:57, I was told that an engineer **was already on site and working to fix the problem**, with an estimated repair time of **18:00 today, 19/08/2026**. At 15:24, I am now being told that you have identified the problem and that an engineer **is on their way**, with the estimated repair time moved to **14:10 on 21/08/2026**. This is the original date that was stated 2 weeks ago. Could you please provide an accurate explanation of what is actually happening with fault **F012421201**? In particular: * Was an engineer on site earlier today, as stated? * If so, why is an engineer now apparently only “on their way”? * What has happened to cause the estimated repair time to move from this evening to Friday afternoon? * Is 21/08/2026 at 14:10 now a reliable estimate, or is this simply an automated placeholder? I appreciate that faults can take longer than expected to repair. What is frustrating is receiving contradictory information that makes it impossible to understand the actual status of the fault. Please provide a clear and factual update rather than another automated status message.

Andy (@sadelta99) reported@andy_nicks60 @virginmedia Thinking of leaving them myself due to this same issue - don’t want just a Streaming box - and their info during a fault is absolutely ridiculous and too many lies

Katuhstrophikz (@Katuhstrophikz) reported@elliviant See if you can get with virgin media they have a new customer discount as well
-
Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reportedDay 22 without @virginmedia broadband, with still no explanation of why it’s taking so long to fix the outage in my area. It’s also the 4th date they’ve said it will be fixed by this pm. On the other 3 I’ve had a lunchtime message to say it will be 1 more week. Let’s see today..
-
Ryan (@SarkySodRyan) reported@virginmedia And given I'm already annoyed - don't ask me if I've switched it off and back on again. Of course I have. It still doesn't work.
-
Alan Roberts (@AlanRob68902430) reported@Carolestfc1 @virginmedia Its grounds to terminate the contract
-
Ryan (@SarkySodRyan) reported@virginmedia you've sent me messages saying you'll charge me for not sending back my old box.... Despite me telling you the new one doesn't work. This is what it displays. Tried calling your customer service number and - as always - I can't get through Any idea what to do? R
