-
Simon Norris (@sinozza) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@ThatNickElse @virginmedia Did you get through in the end Nick...I'm having similar problems to you.
-
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!
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service
-
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?
-

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.
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, EnglandVirgin Media broadband down AGAIN. Service Status website & app don’t work as no internet connection 🤨 @virginmedia
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia No as normal Virgin customer service go quiet until I am forced to ring them again and as for the bill no additional charges you just seem to have doubled the bill
-
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’ve already raised a complaint. I spoke to someone in the Stage 2 complaints team who told me it’s being dealt with and, as already mentioned, a manager would call me back at 4.30 which didn’t happen. Can someone please sort this out?
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.
-
Penny Rolfe (@wonky61shaky) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia When are you going to refund me for many days without a wifi signal
-
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.
-
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
-
Sarah Bennett (@sarahhben) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia Our internet is down in ME8 area (Parkwood) status check says ‘no known issues’
-
Twiterteroo (@Twiterteroo) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia Folks, amuse me, why on earth would I or anyone complete a survey after leaving you when you couldn’t deal with the issue within 2 months and dare I say the plus 20 years we had an undiagnosed fault!?
-
paul fouracre (@moleyfozz) reported from Rochester, EnglandTwo contrasting phone calls to @virginmedia CS this morning. Really unhelpful 1st guy / rude. Rang directly back and the differner guy was absolutely amazing. Mathew was his name and he needs a praise. 1st guy really needs a lesson in customer service. Thank you Mathew.

ArtVandaley (@dothefunkgibbon) reported@virginmedia Instead of silly twitter replies , when you know there is a big outage why don't you publish it on the website ? Have a message on the phone line also , would solve a lot of problems . Your phone lines were overwhelmed yet that could have been prevented .

It worked first time. Copper lines being phased out in favour of VoIP.
-
James (Jim) Naismith (@JHNaismith) reportedUsually optimistic on technological progress so disappointed broadband speed being > halved to 67Mbps next month by @bt_uk. @virginmedia can’t fix their “blocked duct” at front door, not good advert for uk infrastructure, I live in Jericho, central Oxford, not remote Highlands.
-
Sean Austin 316 (@seanaustin1985) reported@Johnty14 @virginmedia I worked for VM as a tech and I wasnt one of them but it was common practice by some rltwchs to feather knock so they could put the job off and blame the customer for not being in..
-
Paul Hulse (@paulpresenteruk) reportedDear @virginmedia I upgraded my package last night to add TV yet I wish to cancel this change due to the price for existing customers which is nearly double to what a new customer would get… I have tried to contact through various methods to cancel.
-
Escape to the Garden (@JanetsEscapades) reported@virginmedia I have recently closed by Broadband account. I returned your equipment on 25th August 2026. I have an in-post receipt. However, your email is no reply & there is no contact phone number for customer service? I am now getting further emails about returning this!
