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
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia No, we’re way past all that now, this has been going on for months/years. Now, I can’t even get to talk to anyone. I’ve requested you change my box. You haven’t. What is the head office address for service of legal documents please?
-
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.
-
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
-
Onearmedjohn (@onearmedjohn) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia I’ve had two lengthy phone calls with your ‘technical support’ people; it briefly got quicker then stopped working completely. On their instructions I’ve changed some settings on my router which apparently may take 48 hours to fully take effect…
-
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.
-
Colin Nickless (@NicklessColin) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia broadband down again in Southend. Had to pay for a BT WiFi day pass so my wife can continue working from home.
-
Michael Buckley (@MikeBuckley2) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia I am trying to access live chat as I have blackspots in house and would like WiFi boosters from Virgin. I have 200 Mbps but am getting only 20mbps in bedroom. Cannot find live chat on sites other than loads of help pages. Really frustrating
-
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.

Banshee (@strikecenter147) reported@Benleo Ben bring up your hub on virgin media I guarantee you it’s been hacked and you get a warning. This is happening all over London and I can’t get anybody to help me with it. Bring up your own Virgin media hub and you will see what I mean.
-
Shaun (@shauny67) reported@QxPain_ @virginmedia You said router with ethernet under the pc, is the pc connected with eithernet or WiFi as if both this will cause a loop back if on the same network and hence why WiFi is not working. For best rest result connect the pc via ethernet & phone to WiFi
-
AG10CookingSzn (@AG10szn) reported@eternalelneny @virginmedia Well done mate, chuck a couple of minimum wage workers under the bus who are working to fix your wifi so you can goon at home. Selfish prick
-
Jim Bauld (@jimbauld) reported@virginmedia At £16 for a rental it shouldn’t even be a question … never mind “understanding” and “appreciating” …. Get it sorted 😡
-
David Howard (@Geordie_Radgie) reported@MoneySavingExp I'm in favour of more control (virgin media constantly stiffing me...), but define "inflation". You also need to factor in how the costs - for the specific business and product - are increasing. It would help if govt. didn't keep finding new ways of driving costs up, also.
-
phorsfield (@phorsfield) reported@virginmedia I've had no broadband since 1pm today, tv channels working bar the services that require Internet, reboot hub plus reset. Are there any issues in RG12 area?

Mitch W 71 (@Mitch_1142) reported@1Atkins @ThatsTVOfficial xenon81Message posted on30 Jul 2026 03:21 PM - last edited: 30 Jul 2026 03:22 PM That's TV has gradually removed all its channels from Sky, Freesat and Virgin Media over the last few months. It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.

Karen B 🥀🇪🇺 🇺🇦💜🤍💚KarenB@KBGreyhoundLady (@KBGreyhoundlady) reported@Lewis_BGA @BBCBreakfast Virgin media did the same. The call centre was in Wythenshawe Manchester. Now it’s in the Indian subcontinent. OH had a mare as our e mails crashed. Lovely young woman but SO hard to understand. Also AGES trying to get through to speak to a human. Customer service is dead

Vikram (@VikramRajpara09) reported@virginmedia I pay for a service which is not active and not working. Goodwill doesn’t come into the equation.
