    @virginmedia There isn’t internet down time the box has stopped working, they can’t get a new box out here till mid week, with a lot of people working from home you think you’d have next day delivery or something, bad enough we can’t have a engineer out to help

    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

    I'm having real trouble cancelling my Virgin media account. Cant6v chat them, can't email them now on hold for 10 minutes. Just want to end the contract give 30 days notice. New promotion only for new customers. Wtf?

    @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.

    @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.

    @virginmedia I can’t seem to find an email address or postal address for general queries, can you please provide me with one? My nan is now in a care home with dementia and we need to cancel her landline, broadband & mobile on her behalf so need to write to you to give details.

    @kelseybytheway @virginmedia Second this so ******* hard. Diagnostics dont do **** when the issue is with the hardware itself

  • KatiePurkiss
    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!

    @virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!

    @virginmedia if you’re going to have a phone number would be nice if answered - just been on hold waiting to get through for 2 hours and then the call inexplicably cut out. All for something that should be easy to do and find on my online account!

  • sjr23
    Sam (@sjr23) reported

    @virginmedia Useless. Moved house and sent self install kit. No socket. Fine. Help me then. Nope I’ve sat on hold three times for an hour so and then cut off and their chat bots also just keep cutting me off. I’m paying to be ignored for help a service that doesn’t work!

  • SteveMcKenna2
    Steve McKenna 🇮🇪🇬🇧🐕💚 (@SteveMcKenna2) reported

    @virginmedia On pushing the private message button nothing happens. I'm trying to give 30 days notice to remove Sky Sports and TNT Sports. Your service has been so appalling today I'm considering leaving altogether.

  • iPaulTweeting
    iPaulTweeting (@iPaulTweeting) reported

    @virginmedia your customer support is appalling. My bill has gone up from £127 to £350. The App it keeps telling me to use either says oops something has gone wrong or directs me to a bot that goes nowhere. Now I’m on the phone for over an hour with no indication as to whether they are going to answer

  • PC_ale
    Paul Caley (@PC_ale) reported

    @virginmedia the people on web chat not working today? Been getting the still in a queue message for almost the last hour and a half. Is it to raise a complaint? So who do talk to raise a complaint about raising a complaint, as the method to raise a complaint is not working!

    @SkyNews He’s the equivalent of Virgin Media Customer Services, he’s going to have to be ousted out unceremoniously, lanced like a growth only to be replaced by another globalist traitor

  • samr_1986
    Sam Reynolds (@samr_1986) reported

    @virginmedia I joined in Dec 2025 at £23.99 a month and my broadband price has already increased in April 2026 after only a few months. I’m really disappointed with how quickly the advertised price changed. Can someone review my account and help with a better deal please?

  • CherylChau1029
    Cheryl Chau (@CherylChau1029) reported

    @virginmedia 2hr phone wait! Mis-sold £78 (quoted £33.99) + 24hr outage. Fix it or I'm cancelling under 14-day cooling-off. #VirginMedia

    @virginmedia how hard it is to talk to a human with the problems we are having is a major problem now we are being asked to download WhatsApp? Leaving might be the only option been with them years, customer service is zero
