Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England@virginmedia Trying to make a complaint - signed up to a deal I clearly asked not to be. Your website doesn’t work and can’t get through on the phone. Can someone please dm me with a way to speak to someone urgently

(っ◔◡◔)っ ₚᵢₙₑₐₚₚₗₑ ᵢₛ ₜₕₑ ₛᵤₚₑᵣᵢₒᵣ fᵣᵤᵢₜ (@beakybox) reported from Litherland, England@virginmedia broadband being down again, how, why
-
Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Garston, England@virginmedia To be honest, the issue is an intermittent fault. My wife works from home and the broadband just drops out numerous times a day. Then comes back on. It’s only worthwhile doing a remote test if it’s when it drops out. Otherwise all will look fine
-
Jamie McLoughlin (@jmcloughlin) reported from Liverpool, EnglandAnyone having @virginmedia issues in Liverpool area? Our TV has been showing static for the past half hour.
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.
-
Ndawana Youngson (@NdawanaY) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia Too many service drops. Engineer has been to properly to fix but this persists.
-
Tim Jackson (@TimmyJ1972) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia I haven’t seen the credit applied yet, that’s the issue. This will be the 4th time that I’ve been told it’s been corrected and to wait around 24 hours but so far this has never worked
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia Nobody can help me, they just keep asking for patience. They’ve had since august to fix it. It’s unacceptable.
-
Billzy (@Billzy79) reported from Liverpool, England@Jacedafaceis @virginmedia Yes. Been out to lake district, and 4G mobile phone signal was quick and more reliable than the broadband. And people thought it was normal.
-
Martin Travis (@lurkinhead) reported from Birkenhead, England@virginmedia Okay, but with respect, the problem is your call centre say different stuff every time, which inevitably bears no resemblance to reality. Later, VM deny those conversations ever took place and there is no written evidence to back up what was agreed. That's what I am after here?

Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England@VirginMedia Received message. Now not accepting my email address. I have one only. My problem is with the remote control which is activated by pressing 2 buttons when they light up. Have had nothing but trouble with one remote for one TV. Your communication us not helpful.
-
Mark Langshaw (@MarkLangshaw) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia Was Thursday or Friday but you never call me back when you say you will, so I'm not confident it will be completed unless I keep chasing it up.

Berni Turner 🖤🌹 (@BLTwitchy) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia No I’m not an idiot it was during covid I’ll go back and find it . The chief execs office rang me personally as I’m disabled

Jemima (@JemimaCamhs) reported from Garston, England@virginmedia Hi, will this continued investment mean finally getting signal in my area? It’s a central area and the signal is awful. Thanks
-
Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England@virginmedia I have a booster. It was sent to me last Spring because of previous problems with TV in this room.

Emma Latham (@EmsydilemsyL) reported from Liverpool, England@virginmedia advice please! I’ve been a customer for over ten years and am also an o2 customer and my account is now going up by another £12 per month on a pretty basic package! Phoned twice and been told that someone will get back to me with a new price package - still nothing

-
Trina S 💙 (@BrownEyedGirlGB) reportedBy December 2025 @virginmedia ongoing service monitoring determined I needed a free hub to stabilise connection. Lost track of how often internet has gone down for few minutes or so then come back. However, in last month it has been out for hours 3 times. 2/?

Jase Whelan (@WiJayWhelan) reported@virginmedia I have! still no Wifi 😡 day 3 , still no sign of any engineers who are apparently ' working to resolve the complex issue'?
-
Craig (@SimmO73_) reportedHas anyone got Virgin Media’s TV 360 service. Is it any good, as Virgin keeps pushing me to upgrade for free to this from the V6 boxes I have and I’m not sure. #virginmedia
-
Dogred (@PaulBen29353194) reported@biggle1908 Virgin media will be very helpful when you want to join but you’ll regret it when there’s a problem or you want to leave, their customer service is probably one of the worst in the industry imo.
-
tommier (@coillteman) reported@TheMandyGall @virginmedia @rte RTÉ bias, it doesn't suit the governments narrative on whom their very existence depends on. €750,000,000 was a great handout to them. That's ¾ of a BILLION WTF they are beholding to the government who have paid a high price for a PR company which RTE is.
-
Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported@virginmedia I have messaged. I have taken days off on multiple occasions to wait in for engineers to attend. I was assured that due to external works I would not need to be in today, however the issue STILL has not been fixed despite assurances it would be sorted.
