    @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!!

    @virginmedia I need to speak to somebody regarding a broadband problem without you running a check that will cut me off the internet. How do I get past this to speak to a person?

    @virginmedia I have phoned you at least 10 times this week. I’ve had a visit from a technician. My Wi-Fi still doesn’t work. I rang up AGAIN in the last half an hour, after waiting for 30 mins to speak to someone, they said they had ‘system issues’ and hung up on me. (1/3)

  • pillbo01
    kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, England

    I have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.

    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.

  • Rayzor74
    Ray Morgan. NHS💙🇺🇦 (@Rayzor74) reported from Stockport, England

    Good start to the day with @virginmedia informing me my monthly bill is increasing by £15/month and I have until the 17th of April to decide on my options. That is £180 annually. Having been firstly a Nynex customer and a Virgin customer since the takeover think it may be time

  • Lerounxi
    Reece Jordan Doonan, RN (@Lerounxi) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there’s active engineer trying to rectify the service outage Manchester (M30). Widespread issues reported according to your service outage on website ?

  • SimpaticoGem
    Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

  • Jo8Pink
    Joanne Fallon (@Jo8Pink) reported from Macclesfield, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been waiting, yet again, for 10 days to get a call to resolve my wifi issue. Can’t contact you by website and I’m not sitting for another 90mins to get passed round 6 people 😡. Ongoing issue for far too long now. 8 years I’ve been a customer, like it matters??

    @Defencebrief @wonkytodger @virginmedia Their download speeds are good but their upload speeds are pretty poor.

    Smyth Harper 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦☘️ (@sharper76) reported from Manchester, England

    @virginmedia No it’s not, and it has now transpired that your customer services agent told me a direct lie that there was a fault in my area when there is not. Someone else has now booked an engineer to come out - next Wednesday. I can’t even have my heating on as that’s controlled vía wifi

    @virginmedia Hi, for the 2nd time it appears you’re trying to charge me for a call out when I wasn’t supposed to be charged, I’ve already called once about this and was told it was corrected but it’s happened again? I’ve had to cancel my DD until sorted as due to come out 2morrow

    @virginmedia My stepson and his partner having real problems getting someone to move the account to new address. Seems like a simple self installation M&T but nobody will help.

    Christopher Knibb (@chris_knibb) reported

    Do not use @virginmedia Twitter - they are scammers. Spoke on the phone to VM call centre who said VM would never ask the questions this X account and the WhatsApp account they connect you with would ask. AVOID!!!!

    *carly* RN DN (@CarlyBoo78) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to get through to your customer service line for over 5 hours in the past 2 days!!! Chatbot useless! Can’t get on the app. You have taken an extra £122.00 on top of our usual bill this month and we can’t speak to anyone about it! Poor, poor service!!

  • SteveFurni7742
    Steve Furniss (@SteveFurni7742) reported

    @O2 @ryjeasterbrook Why is your Virgin Media call line so poor 1 hour 30 minutes waiting today at 8am and no response. On line chat bots are rubbish for specific queries. About the poorest customer service there is

    @virginmedia I joined in Dec 2025 at £23.99 a month and my broadband price has already increased in April 2026 after only a few months. I’m really disappointed with how quickly the advertised price changed. Can someone review my account and help with a better deal please?

    Cheryl Chau (@CherylChau1029) reported

    @virginmedia 2hr phone wait! Mis-sold £78 (quoted £33.99) + 24hr outage. Fix it or I'm cancelling under 14-day cooling-off. #VirginMedia

    David Kirk (@veyron_fan) reported

    @hamchester44 @_HenryMill You don't get why people are so into it. Did you see the price of f1tv? It's literally a fraction the price of Sky.... If you don't have a classic TV service like Sky or Virgin media, which many don't, you're only option is rubbish NowTV sports pass for over £30 a month!!!
