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.
-
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.

ron palmer (@moebius1967) reported from Southend-on-Sea, EnglandHad a real problem with Virgin media. Was paying this month's bill when Virgin had a problem as with its auto payment service and the payment couldn't be processed. I then tried again via their website and the payment went through......
-
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
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia I have spoken to your CS team about raising a complaint and have been told that the complaints procedure is for existing customers. As I am yet to go live, I am not considered a customer and therefore have no where to go.
-
Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia been struggling for days with home WiFi. Tried to contact you guys but cant find a number Please help
-
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.

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
-
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!!

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?
-
Alex Bellew (@Donaldman34) reported@virginmedia I am trying to cancel my contract, and every time your chatbot says it is going to connect me to an actual human, the chat disconnects and starts again. This is moderately infuriating to say the least. Can you fix this
-
Andy Sutton (@AndySut63307161) reported@virginmedia Having problems accessing email on multiple devices, how do i resolve. Cannot find answers, BOT is useless. Do you employ humans with whom i may converse to resolve issues? Regards Andy
-
sam ☄️🔥🏳️🌈 (@cleantethemiser) reported@virginmedia Been trying all day to get through to someone and now your chatbot has gone down.
-
Lisa Boyce (@LisaBoyce6) reported@virginmedia - your salesman has sold an Alzheimer’s relative a media package- she doesn’t have mental capacity to consent but your call centre refuses to take our lasting power of attorney so we can’t cancel. She has no paperwork and can’t remember the password set up. Not good!
-
Dgjbear (@Dgjbear1) reported@AsstVirginmedia @princehowl_ This is an automated response. Zoe doesn’t exist. Virgin media is crap.
-
Long Jane Silver (@roosterslily) reported@virginmedia is there a power outage as some of my channels are missing such as Sky Crime, U & Gold? I've been on the ChatBOT for three hours with no reply and no answering the phone
-
Sarah Baber (@babester15) reported@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!
-
Coops (@dancooper05) reported@virginmedia I need to raise an urgent complaint regarding a door to door seller. I’ve been on hold for an hour & DM not answered. Can I get an email address or contact number please?
-
Paul🦦 (@p_e_l_4) reported@virginmedia is 5 hours waiting for your cancellation team standard procedure? Absolutely ridiculous customer service. You should be investigated and fined for this. Never going back to your services ever
