Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia This is so tiresome I have complained so many times about slow broadband speed, unreliable WiFi, terrible TV services & only after threatening to leave did you send an engineer in July. This made it a little better, but recently it’s been unreliable of an evening.

Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee
-
Marc Gallagher (@marcgallagher82) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia your sales team are the biggest bunch of #fraudsters I’ve ever dealt with!

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!

Kelly **** (@kellydyke08) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia time now 11:14pm and certain channels still aren’t working, things said they have recorded when they haven’t, search function also still not working code c133.

-
Gizëm (@seccadelikbaby) reportedWorking from home in TW1 and my Virgin Media internet has been down for 2 days. I literally can’t do my job. It’s 2026 and I’m still dealing with outages lasting this long. Completely unacceptable. @virginmedia
-
Keith (@Keith_Bredrin) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Sky don't answer the phone when you want to cancel. Their sales team claim they can't put you through either. Cretins.
-
Yozgat (@futbolsayilari) reported@virginmedia @seccadelikbaby Not Gizëm, it is Gizem, she is a show-off, and dont fix her Internet, I dont think she is doing sth important with it. Cheers.
-
Old Motherduck (@Old_Motherduck) reported@virginmedia @JonStone101 no we've had this before many times, only when you threaten to leave do you get transferred to someone who speaks english, they obviously get paid more to snag a customer than the english speaking
-
Rob Jones (@robhjones) reported@virginmedia I’ve only used iplayer since changing but it’s impossible to watch anything so there’s obviously some connection problem and extremely annoying as its in the evening when we watch
-
Taz (@AppleTerence) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Believe Virgin are just a bad after the initial contract.
-
Anneli Lort (@annelilort) reported@JonStone101 @virginmedia Exactly the same with sky. I cancel my subscription every year before they put the prices up and a week later I get a call from the retention team offering me a deal at half the price. Madness.
-
Ian Lewis (@IanLewis299) reported@virginmedia Sorry, I've worded that badly. I meant I didn't even want to raise a complaint. I told them not to raise it, and they have done anyway, and resolved it. They also told me not to fill in the survey as my issue (not a complaint!) isn't yet resolved so it wouldn't look bad on them!
-
Colin Fenn (@ColinFenn45) reported@virginmedia I forgot to mention, during these low signal periods, when using okla speed checker download speed can be as low as 8mbps and upload often a little higher. Using the website fault checker does not register any problems , Colin.
