-
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
-
Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England@jamesdgreen02 @virginmedia I've got the same problem. Was told by the faults team that if it wasn't fixed by 11pm last night that it should be fixed by 8pm tonight. Still not fixed at the moment
-
Lisa Philpott (@Lisa2672) reported from Rayleigh, England@Shayan86 @virginmedia It’s a disgrace - my husband works in tv too. You 100% cannot rely on VM. I am definitely changing. My bill started off at £35 and is now £45 as we had to buy boosters. Worst service ever. Skybroadband non-fibre was better than this.
-
Scott Wickham (@Scott_Wic) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia My request to support was about the hub5 and some Wi-Fi extenders/boosters which I’m entitled to, they said that it was sorted and would be in the post and now only the hub5 has turned up!!! Does this mean I have to contact support again…….

Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

lindsay wood (@Dearnormajeane) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself
-
Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia My understanding is that it is affecting a lot of people. I have now worked out how to access my email another way but do strongly feel that virgin media should be looking to resolve this issue ASAP.
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@BBCWatchdog can you help @virginmedia make it impossible to complain or resolve any issues the ultimate poor customer service!!
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia Great ring the number that has been absolutely shocking from day 1 or wait 28 days for Virgin to answer a complaint I have been trying to resolve for 10 days currently on phone with customer service but wont let me speak to a manger absolutely s*** from @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog

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
-
Samantha Doe (@samanthadoe1) reported from Canvey Island, EnglandHaving real problems with our broadband dropping out regularly @virginmedia. Any known issues in the SS8 area?
-
Rob Green Jnr (@rob_green86) reported from Thundersley, England@westbrookdanni @virginmedia Up to 2 weeks ago I didn't have a bad word to say about them. The pure fact you can't get through to someone is the worst of it. Happy to take your money and trim your internet speeds!
-
James Young (@jamesrfyoung) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia your internet has been rubbish recently with varying speeds as low as 5mb 1 minute then 95mb the next! Now it’s gone down completely! On top of not being able to speak with anyone I don’t feel that your service is worth it! #rubbishservice
Virgin Media Issues Reports

-
Liesl_ (@_lliesl_) reportedThis is not a *me* problem I went into an O2 store who told me that there was a known issue with the O2/Virgin media set up. I do not care. I expect to be able to access my account. I expect to be able to take the offer to change my tariff
-
APTS Archive (@APTSArchive) reportedQuick update following my post - I did have a DM discussion with VirginMedia. Apparently all refunds are process via cheque payments and posted to you - and I’ve got to wait up to 45 days - yes 45 days for the cheque. If I’ve not received it by then I’ve got to contact them again and they will investigate why - probably waiting another 45 days. This is disgusting behaviour @virginmedia, despite it being so called company policy. You took £1,070 from our account despite assurance the equipment return date had been extended, causing us to be overdrawn, yet you now hang on to our money for up to 45 days! It doesn’t take 45 days for a computer to print a cheque!
-
Julie Backstreet (@BSBJULIE78) reported@virginmedia Awful timing for a software update of @SkySports All over the weekend 🙄 Hope there is going to be some reduction in my bill?
-
Habbott :-) 🇺🇦 (@BeakyTweeter) reported@virginmedia Help!! Our neighbours are Virgin installed but they said cables were needed as no-one on the street had it. Our Virgin connection at the gate has now been cut off!!!!!
-
Anna Dé (@AnnaDe_2015) reportedVirgin Media TV completely down, any updates? @virginmedia
-
Leigh Gow (@LeighHutch90) reportedWhy is the sky sports+ red button option still terrible? @virginmedia
-
Dips (@Ndola19) reported@moonpeach212 @virginmedia Hey, VM will not sort anything out. I have spent so much time trying to sort out my issue as O2 failed to apply my Volt benefit. VM claims they have done everything while O2 claim they are waiting for VM confirmation. They drag the issue out hoping you will go away
-
