-

Still waiting to hear on WhatsApp and been on hold this afternoon 45 mins and still holding???? Whats going on??
-
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
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia I think she was recording a fault as far as I could make out due to her poor English
-
Ashley Halliday (@TylerTowers) reported from Gillingham, EnglandI’ve been on my knees far too much tonight. @virginmedia your broadband is awful these days. And resetting either fails or lasts 10 mins. From superhero to supergran. Not worth your monthly bill. #virginmediadown #virginmedia
-
Peter Fudge 💙 (@statusquo44) reported from Canvey Island, England@leonagraham @virginmedia Yes, the issue is you’re being denied internet access 👍
-
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
-
Robert Shaw (@hungoverdrawn) reported from Wainscott, England@virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.
-
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
-
Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia No and there’s no point. You’ve had two years to fix this. I’m not paying any more and you can sue me. See you in court.
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia No landline for 9 days following a house move, incorrect bills, and poor customer service being cut off many times
-
Julie McCarthy (@jooz282) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia problems with the boxing again tonight - paid for @anthonyfjoshua fight and keep getting pixelated picture and channel going off air entirely - is it being sorted?
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@BritishGas I’m truly astonished. I didn’t think there could be anyone worse than @virginmedia for customer service but you’ve managed it. I’m in awe.
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia Your missing the point my phone works now my complaint was about the fact it took 9 days to activate and Virgin changed the number
-
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
-
matt (@briggsym) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia how can I complain about internet reliability from your service. It has been appalling and inconsistent and seriously considering moving to another provider.

-
JAN WOZNIAK (@JPWOZNIAK) reported@virginmedia STILL NO BBC1 FOR US, plus other issues. Very disappointing 24 hours.I think it may be a good time to check alternative providers…
-
Marttech Solutions (@MarttechSol) reportedVirgin Media now have an ETA of 11:05am today to get these issues fixed. The Service Status tool now appears to be working for the vast majority of people.
-
ChildrensBookSequels - Sarah Corcoran (@ChiBkSequels) reported@virginmedia please don't use Yodel @yodel241653 as a courier service. Pods not delivered today. Van stopped outside, and as I opened the front door he drove off without delivering the parcel. Now got to cancel plans for tomorrow to wait for parcel. Please don't use Yodel.
-
Gillian Carrick (@gillian_carrick) reported@virginmedia Are people still having problems this evening. My 95 year old mam still has no TV?
-
Rachel Rosser (@theGROWcompany) reported@virginmedia Regardless of the actual problem, it seems the company is totally inept. Why was your incoming call message not working, why was the on hold musac playing the same one track for an hour. Why did it take so many hours for any public announcement?
-
Angelo (@AngeloFC04) reported@JoshCF_ Negotiated 1 gb/s internet with virgin media down to £31 from £45 after I told them I wanted to leave
-
South Coast Commuter (@CS_Hants) reported@virginmedia @docrussjackson Make a formal complaint and say you will report to @Ofcom. Ask for compensation, there are plenty of precedents. They are measured on how many and how quickly they resolve customer complaints. Am dumping VM tomorrow after 18 months of abysmal service, cant wait to be rid of them!
-
G Strachan (@Forcegayle) reported@virginmedia What I cannot understand is you reply individually and say there's a problem but you do not put a social media post out this morning informing customers about it. Why? All your posts are in 2025
-
scouse sense@scousegranny (@scousesense) reported@virginmedia Ref: RS1001750194 or 100445413188 or 100445413196 Choose any but cancel asap and let me know when it's done
-
JAN WOZNIAK (@JPWOZNIAK) reported@virginmedia STILL NO BBC1, why? Plus other issues eg. previous channel’s sound following any change of channel?
