Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England@virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

Lawrence Hooker (@goonerlgh) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia Third Superhub and it's just as unreliable as the previous two. Frequently has to be reset. Slow speeds, unstable wifi. When are you going to replace it with decent hardware?
-
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I’ve sorted the issue. But now there’s no way of cancelling the engineer! Can’t get through on phone. Appointment isn’t showing on their account, so can’t cancel there. WhatsApp is useless - been waiting for an Agent to be available since about 1pm!
-
Paul Ilett, Author (@Paul_Ilett) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@fingers_terry @virginmedia I hope so. I’d hate to have to cancel my subscription.
-
Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia My tariff is going up from £72ish to £108ish so I want to leave... Simple but trying to get them to do this is madness. Internet is slow and not reliable, I have been promised the earth and it has just got worst! @BBCWatchdog
-
roger cole (@RogerCole10135) reported from Basildon, England@virginmedia we done that, all connections are in to the box, your company network thinks that we are connected via router this not so, but has a cable run into the house.
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing
-
Michael Buckley (@MikeBuckley2) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia I am trying to access live chat as I have blackspots in house and would like WiFi boosters from Virgin. I have 200 Mbps but am getting only 20mbps in bedroom. Cannot find live chat on sites other than loads of help pages. Really frustrating
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia Still @virginmedia can’t get anything right!! Still you screw everything up and provide really bad customer service @BBCWatchdog
-
Geoff Watkins (@DronePilotGeoff) reported from Gillingham, England@fasurveyors @virginmedia I have to say; I’m normally pretty pleased with @virginmedia internet. It’s normally fast and reliable. But last couple of days has been awful. It’s getting too expensive as well
-
HeyYouItsCorrie (They/Them) (@HeyYouItsCorrie) reported from Rochester, England@suziqvk @virginmedia BT, without a doubt. Virgim media is absolutely useless, bad internet, bad coverage, bad service
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, EnglandAfter 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange
-
Rochester Boy. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@polhilljim) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia This is a long story. But Virgin have changed my IMEI number making a second repair not possible. My account is down and even Virgin can't access it. I've been promised calls back several times but they've not happened. The litany of Virgin failures is impossible to put in a text

LiamLOFC99 (@lofc99) reported@RobDew8 @virginmedia I have the exact same issue! Horley area. @virginmedia
-
Pete 😷 #COVIDisAirborne (@PeteUK7) reported@nathanial332 @virginmedia I obviously don't think that. This isn't about me - it's about their systems being woeful. An email from me and nothing changes. They can sweep it away and continue this terrible service. Feedback from hundreds and they might just take it seriously enough to see where there systems could be improved.
-
Eimhéar Murphy (@EimhearMurphy) reported@LitterOlivia @PeteUK7 @virginmedia I remember having them when I was at uni! Their service was horrendous and signal was diabolical. Never went near them since.
-
Terry McCann (@hit_him_terry) reportedFor a service they failed to provide, @virginmedia isn't that fraudulent under consumer protection laws?
-
mike davies (@DavMichael) reported@virginmedia Finally back on just before compensation has to be paid funny that. So we just have to accept no service with no consequences for yourselves.
-
Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reported@virginmedia Unless you’re going to assist me in fixing your software updates, I don’t see what you can do. But it’s a big problem not being able to rely on your box to record what I’ve asked it to because your constant software updates keeps wiping them.
-
PerfectMe (@perfectme1122) reported@virginmedia Called to cancel contract. Given offer of £32 for 2 years. Checked contract to find it rose to £36 in April ‘27 and £40 in April ‘28. Customer service rep insisted it was inflation rise but contract states it’s in addition to. Contract now cancelled after 15+yrs 😕.
-
🌸 🙀 Teresa Cooper (@Teresacooper) reported@virginmedia Virgin media are screwing their customers over. There is no way an engineer takes this many days to fix a large outage. Many disabled customers are put in danger bc their equipment & emergency equipment use Virgin. They charge a lot of money for a terrible service.
-
Ugly Balaclava (@uglybalaclava) reported@virginmedia @DavidVaughan5 We have a engineer here right now and change the hub over to a new one and it’s still not working. Flashing yellow lights. This is a network problem. What is happening please? Doesn’t look like a fix will be happening
-
Rebecca Réva (@AvaniEbony666) reported@virginmedia What about WIFI or does your boss really don't care?? 3 Weeks without proper service complaints many times and nothings been sorted!! If it isn't then I WILL BE LEAVING Without PAYING THE REMAINDER OF CONTRACT (or if I do it'll be £1 with 3rd part debt collection) I ain't happy
