-
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.

-
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!
-
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!!

Thomas Hapgood (@Tiger118118) reported from Basildon, England**** you @virginmedia I want my money back please 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

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!
-
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!
-
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) 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
-
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!
-
@Live Chat Squad (@LSquad17045) reported@richbutz l am from virgin media customer service.

🌸Anne-Marie🌸 (@Anne_Marie_2) reported@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
-
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?
-
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
