Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England@virginmedia the worst customer service I’ve ever encountered. 6 cancelled installs, no broadband, no Tv, no heating. Unable to work thanks to virgin media. No resolution in sight, just empty promises and apologies.
-
James Featherstone (@JFeathjav) reported from Southampton, England@davenevin @virginmedia Luckily their customer service is excellent 🥴
-
David Wright (@Mr_PaintPots) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia Thank you for responding, one of your team has now picked this up so fingers crossed someone gets in touch. Why have you made it so difficult to get support? Can you not provide an obvious option on your website please?
-
Jo (@JoannecolesJo) reported from Marchwood, England@virginmedia I’ve been trying to get hold of a ‘real’person for a week now with no success to cancel my internet! It’s an absolutely shocking service and the wifi is no better ( when it was working) so is there a real person replying on Twitter at all ?
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia I cancelled in July (which apparently you have no record of) so I contacted you in Sept when you threatened to cut my service off, that I wasn’t using anymore, and told you I’d cancelled. I’m not paying this!! Absolutely ridiculous!!
-
lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England@virginhelp my WiFi is terrible apart from when I’m sat right next to it and @virginmedia have been no help. kids are struggling to do their home schooling
-
Craig (@Danzy92) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia Yes, I’ve checked everyday and despite signing up for text updates about this issue, I’ve heard nothing despite being 48 hours after the date it was supposed to be fixed. Not even a further text so confirm a delay. Could you provide any update to the SO15 postcode issue?
-
mark wilson (@obcans) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia I've have said my Internet drops out my TV my laptop witch are connected via ethernet cable drop out its not good enough I have always had this problem I just want it sorted out
-
Tom Weise (@tw17_09) reported from Locks Heath, England@virginmedia cut off by Jack. 1 hour spent on hold today, 3 online conversations dropped. Told I am allowed to cancel for free, then I have to pay to cancel. Told my price is going up, told it isn’t. Which is it? Get in touch with me. I don’t want my next call with @Ofcom instead
-
Craig (@Danzy92) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia wifi issues for over a week. Run test every day for it to just say there’s some issue in your area. When will this be fixed? Costing me money to commute somewhere where I can get wifi and disrupting my work.
-
lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia Yes I have used the connect app and it only works when I’m a meter from the router. I’m paying you for a service you can’t provide but you call me to say why don’t you upgrade to 300mb speeds when you can’t even give 10. Appalling
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia Your resolution to this is for me to pay you money for a service I don’t use as I cancelled it. How is that a resolution? You are just not listening to me.
-
lee Radcliffe (@leeradcliffe73) reported from Southampton, England@VMO2News @virginmedia @goodthingsfdn All the money we pay for this awful broadband is a joke. Oh just get the plug in booster for an extra £5 a month this will help!!! 2m from the router and can’t even send this. 3G is better than virgin. Bring on toob 🕺🏻
-
Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England@virginmedia You’re not helping. You’re asking the same questions you ask every day. Yes, complaint raised. No, Virgin have given no reason why they keep cancelling. Next you’ll tell me you can’t do anything to help, which is exactly what your customer services say
-
Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England@virginmedia It seems like nobody @ Virgin is willing to intervene and sort this out. As a result Virgin just keep setting install dates and cancelling. The cycle repeats over and over. Customer service don’t help, despite me calling everyday.
-
mark wilson (@obcans) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia I fail to see wot difference that make my Wi-Fi is rubbish my Internet drops in and out all the time I have hours on the phone with people and it's still the same I want something done about it 😫
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England@sfc_rich @virginmedia They literally don’t care. They are my Dads provider too so I’m going to have the same issues when his house is sold. I’ve never, ever dealt with such sheer incompetence in my life!
-
Andrew McAlpine Ⓥ (⧖) 🌱 (@Maritimegeek) reported from Locks Heath, England@virginmedia can you tell me f it’s acceptable to be on hold for 48 minutes. After which to finally speak to someone who is unable to resolve your issue and who puts you over to another dept for you to be on on hold for another 30 minutes?
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England@virginmedia So another 90 minute chat with no resolution? That’s fine I’m going to raise an official complaint as this is NOT good customer service at all.

JayBee (@JayBee58963922) reportedJust had a call from supposedly Virgin Media, saying that there was a technical problem on the line, making my voice go all slowly on calls. Wow ! Really . Of course I fell for that. NOT ! What next, make me talk backwards ? Keep aware folks.
-
MH (@MhMyxacc444) reported@j_ball13 @virginmedia They are awful.
-
Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reported@virginmedia This was supposed to be an escalation, which turned out to be another utter waste of time. The team handling social doesn’t even check basics/fundamentals (like there is already a WiFi pod issued that doesn’t work) and in the end – outcome nothing – you have already logged a complaint therefore wait – you as a customer are not important to us, your situation doesn’t matter. I wonder if there was another choice of good broadband in this area why would anyone ever go with @Virgin.

Jindu (@Phils_Cassidy) reportedGood afternoon everyone I’ll briefly share my POV on choosing a good proxy. Here are the 3 major things you must check before using any IP: 1. ISP (Internet Service Provider) This is the most important factor. Think of it like our local networks — Glo, Airtel, MTN, or 9mobile. Always pick residential consumer ISPs (e.g., AT&T, Comcast for USA; Telstra/TPG for Australia; Virgin Media, BT, Vodafone for UK) instead of datacenter providers (DigitalOcean, AWS, Choopa, etc.). Websites easily flag datacenter IPs, but residential ones look like normal users on home Wi-Fi or mobile data. 2. Fraud Score / IP Reputation Before binding the proxy, test it with tools like Scamalytics, IPQS, or Pixelscan. • ✅ Low Fraud Score (0–10) = Clean & safe. • ❌ High Fraud Score (30+) = Avoid. It will trigger CAPTCHAs, bot detection, or shadowbans. Also check it’s not blacklisted on major spam databases. 3. IP Range (First 3 Octets) Not all ranges from the same ISP perform the same. Some subnets get abused over time. Australia examples: ❌ Avoid: 1., 101., 110. ✅ Good: 124., 121., 120. (Telstra) | 80. (TPG) UK examples: ✅ Good: 86., 80. (Virgin Media) | 82., 78. (BT) Pick the right ISP and you’ll rarely get flagged. This was the main issue a lot of people faced with services like Outlier and Handshake. What proxy challenges are you currently facing?

Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported@thenorth4theeu @virginmedia I tried to change a few years ago but they made the process impossible. They sent me texts instead of emails and no other providers will deal with Virgin directly. They have just been fined for their poor customer service, I think. They don't even reach basic standards of decency
-
Ravi Pal (@ravipal1214) reportedYour agent kept asking what resolution I wanted, then offered £5. Twice I was reminded how cheap my package is — that others pay £50-60, that pods cost £10-15 elsewhere, that I’m getting them free. I didn’t set the price. A discount on a service that doesn’t work is still service that doesn’t work. Then I was told no manager or grievance contact exists, and that I should cancel. @virginmedia — who owns this?
-
Arren Davey (@ArrenDavey) reported@virginmedia spent 3 hrd online sorting renewal . Virgin rang me daily for 2 wks (while at work). Told them contact them. 3 hours on chat, still wasn’t resolved. raised a complaint. Renewed via link but sent 3 sets of Order docs. Need help
-
Shaun (@shauny67) reported@QxPain_ @virginmedia Turn off router, turn off all devices connected via WiFi turn on router & bring up each device at a time & check WiFi & distance then will find which device is causing the issue. A router only has a certain distance will need a pod if drops out due to distance
-
Dan (@DanMontgomery87) reported@virginmedia I’ve tried to use your online web chat to speak with a so called “agent” who didn’t respond for 5 minutes and used language that AI would use, if this is the kind of customer service you guys will be using then I’ll be looking to take my custom elsewhere
-
Kev (@victor50) reported@virginmedia So, 2 days, yes 2 days and the internet is down yet again. You have a very serious issue to sort out. You should be paying me to have your internet.
