    @virginmedia your DNS TTL (a web server change time to live) is probably the worst on earth. My new website works everywhere in the world other than on #virginmedia broadband. You absolutely suck, big time. Crock of shite.

    Scott Hortop (@scotthortop) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia I thought as much. I have never received such a call before - It is as if they were targeting telephone numbers affected by yesterdays outage.

    @virginmedia How can you justify me, a service user for 6 years, paying 3x your current 'new customer' tariff Can I disconnect and rejoin at the lower price please?

    Hi @virginmedia any news on why our broadband and TV haven't worked since 7pm yesterday in Burgess Hill? No comms and status update just says you are aware with an expected fix moving on in time...

    @virginmedia very quick to take £130 per month for services but very slow to fix it when things go wrong let’s check for Sky! #customerservice #unhappycustomer #bringbackRichardBranson

    @virginmedia So you stopped replying to my emails The install team has finally turned up, one week later than the promised date, only to find the team that spent an hour digging up my road, haven’t pulled the cables and therefore cannot complete the install What will you do to help now?

  • indiointernet
    Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia Call you...? How do you think I found out about the issues? I wasted hours on the phone calling the numbers you have quoted. Give me strength.

    1/4 Customer scam alert: When moving and contacting @virginmedia to transfer your services to your new property, if they cannot provide services there they will apply an early disconnection charge which they will state is in accordance with their Legal Stuff, do not accept this.

    @virginmedia It's OK. I'll leave it Last call cost me over £8 & I didn't even get to speak to anyone. Ridiculously poor support

    @virginmedia Yes it seems to be ok, but I don’t understand why it would be going down every day between midnight and 1am

    @virginmedia I’ve been promised a call back from Virgin media 6 or 7 times in the last 6 days No one called me back I was told by Virgin Media to raise a complaint, so I did. The lady who took my complaint promised to call me back yesterday She didn’t Worst customer service

    @virginmedia BN1 6FN - I’ve done the checks through your app and says no issue?

  • indiointernet
    Brian Roe (@indiointernet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    Thank you @virginmedia you are yet again delivering an unacceptable service! Broadband intermittent, cant work, nothing on a status update, yet an apology on front of the phone message. I've had better connectivity in a Sri Lankan jungle.

    Richard D G Cox (rcox.bsky.social) (@RDG_C) reported

    Hello @virginmedia might you please have your legal department confirm their address for service of documents such as, for example, formal “letters before action”? It would of course have been preferable if the question had not had to be asked, but … we are where we are.

  • GazzaAdams
    Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported

    Hi @virginmedia This latest update appears to directly contradict the update you sent me earlier today. At 12:57, I was told that an engineer **was already on site and working to fix the problem**, with an estimated repair time of **18:00 today, 19/08/2026**. At 15:24, I am now being told that you have identified the problem and that an engineer **is on their way**, with the estimated repair time moved to **14:10 on 21/08/2026**. This is the original date that was stated 2 weeks ago. Could you please provide an accurate explanation of what is actually happening with fault **F012421201**? In particular: * Was an engineer on site earlier today, as stated? * If so, why is an engineer now apparently only “on their way”? * What has happened to cause the estimated repair time to move from this evening to Friday afternoon? * Is 21/08/2026 at 14:10 now a reliable estimate, or is this simply an automated placeholder? I appreciate that faults can take longer than expected to repair. What is frustrating is receiving contradictory information that makes it impossible to understand the actual status of the fault. Please provide a clear and factual update rather than another automated status message.

    @longlaneroyal @virginmedia I don't understand why anyone uses Virgin Media. I've literally never met a happy customer of theirs. Plusnet forever and always.
