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!

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

Tommy Doyle 💙 (@Tommy_Doyle) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia Hi, had a call this morning allegedly from you saying my internet service was compromised and malware was being downloaded, then proceeded to ask questions which I refused to answer. Was it you lot?
-
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@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…
-
Sarah Bennett (@sarahhben) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia Our internet is down in ME8 area (Parkwood) status check says ‘no known issues’

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
-
Sam #GSBOUT (@_SamButler) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia BT Sports 2 picture keeps getting distorted... any other channel is fine can you help please
-
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
-
Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England@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!!
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, EnglandAfter 20 years of being with @virginmedia and Telewest before that, I’ve finally decided to jump ship. Broadband has been horrendous for a couple of weeks and constant issues. 😔. #TimeforaChange
-
Kelda🥤 (@keldaaa) reported from Canvey Island, England@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.
-
Mark Gould (@yiddo71) reported from Rochester, England@virginmedia sort your customer service out they have just cut meoff again!!! Whilst on hold to make a complaint #ripoff
-
Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England. @virginmedia down yet again? Not able to watch On Demand and error messages. Plus their website is down. 🙄
-
Sharon Cooper (@vamplady35) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia My understanding is that it is affecting a lot of people. I have now worked out how to access my email another way but do strongly feel that virgin media should be looking to resolve this issue ASAP.
-
Darren Young 📺 (@Just_Daz_Young) reported from Gillingham, England@virginmedia My tariff is going up from £72ish to £108ish so I want to leave... Simple but trying to get them to do this is madness. Internet is slow and not reliable, I have been promised the earth and it has just got worst! @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.
-
Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful

James Ladbroke (@JamesLadbroke) reported@europa I had @virginmedia once. The worst service I have ever had. Cancel. @VirginMediaIE
-
Susan Harding 🩵 🇬🇧 (@SusanHarding28) reported@Bebs1000 @vodafone Left them a long time ago! Shocking company with customer service equal to that of Virgin Media 🙄
-
alan holt (@alanholt7) reported@virginmedia any idea when WiFi will be back on in bb2 5eg area? Been down all day
-
Dale Ash (@discoDA1875) reported@virginmedia Sky Sports Plus not working. Sort it out.
-
Adrian Oso (@AdrianOso7) reported@virginmedia I've sent private messages and they just ask me to call VM and get an engineer in. The engineer's conclusion seems to be that it's not worth the effort to extend the network by 10 metres, via a footpath which I own. And that's bang in the centre of a village right outside London.
-
Martin Jones (@MHartleyJones) reported@virginmedia OK Thanks. A technician will be visiting us tomorrow, though I suspect that the fault is in your exchange switch. My point is that you should keep repairs and sales separate. A customer with a serious phone problem is unlikely to buy extra services at that time.
-
John Bhoy Walton (@walton_bhoy) reported@virginmedia 33 mins on the phone to be told the engineer who was out on 24/072026 did not fix my issue but told me it was shocking really bad
-
Rationalist44 (@rationalist44) reported@andyburnham You might like to add VIRGINMEDIA to your list of organisations that do everything they can to prevent customers ending contracts. They are THE WORST.
-
Paul (@paul_gibbo921) reported@virginmedia @Bomber19631 Been really bad as of late can’t wait to leave
-
Darc Knight (@DarcKni68649817) reported@andyburnham It is the truth. Virgin subscription from £85 to £254 a month because contract expired and they’ll never contact you. This is affecting millions of people @virginmedia. He is attending to the truth about what is affecting people.
