-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England@sfc_rich @virginmedia You’re absolutely right. Cancelled my account in July yet they’re still billing me claiming they’ve no record of my phone call OR letter. Refuse to cancel my account unless I pay £101.50 which now has gone up to £148.50. #neverlisten #zerocustomerservice
-
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.
-
Pauline Richards (@PaulineR59) reported from Southampton, England@LDesesperes @virginmedia Lucky you. Loyal customer for over 20 years......nothing for loyalty
-
Tom Weise (@tw17_09) reported from Locks Heath, England@DSJSoley @virginmedia Wish this was as easy as an @Apple subscription. Click cancel, and done! I only want to cancel...!!
-
Simon Newby (@simonnewby) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia I do have a reference bit this is exactly the standard (or total lack) of service I have received for the last 4 weeks, hence the open complaint. Not one person from Virgin has contacted me in any way in that time, despite at least weekly promises like this one.
-
Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England@virginmedia The call back was organised by your virgin customer services because nobody seems to know what’s going on with my install. I think the hope was that the area manager might know. I’m not even exaggerating.
-
Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England@virginmedia So you’re not going to do anything about it, despite knowing it’s destined to let me down. Exactly the same attitude as the rest of virgin. The problem is, it’s taken almost 4 months. This is the issue; deep rooted - Virgin reps don’t care
-
Vivienne 💙🧡🌻 (@Vdweller) reported from Southampton, England@GeorgeMonbiot @timolarch @VodafoneUK My husband had the same problem with Virgin Media after the death of his father. He was given the number of the ‘bereavement department’ and he phoned, assuming they would help. Instead the woman demanded his father’s PIN and said only he could cancel!
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Eastleigh, England@virginmedia So I won’t have 4+ months of grief, demands for an account that is cancelled and debt collectors letters for that account then? That’s a relief as your behaviour with my account has worn me down whilst grieving for my Dad but it’s not stopped you….
-
Jack Deyes (@Jack_Deyes) reported from Southampton, England@Kelly_Jackson88 @virginmedia I was with them for a few weeks and all I had was problems with them. I’ve moved over to #BT and they are great so maybe check them out
-
Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England@virginmedia This has already been dealt with yea, we’re continuing just because it feels as if we’ve waited too long to cancel now. Plus, Virgin are crediting me £5.35 for every day of delay that they’ve caused (55 days and counting).
-
Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Ampfield, England@virginmedia Further to this, my install date has now been pushed back to 13/12. A quarter of a year later than quoted. This is unacceptable and the joke is, it won’t even happen then! It’ll get pushed back again. My partner is pregnant and Virgin are seriously letting us down. Shameful
-
Clare Old (@enkeli85) reported from Southampton, EnglandDisconnect from @virginmedia on 28 Feb. Still get charged a month bill on 1 Mar & been told I'll both need to wait 45 days for my refund & that it will be credited the same day. Great help for budgeting & doesn't help that customer service chat couldn't understand the issue 🙄
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia more of your appalling customer service!!!! Spend over 90 minutes on your chat help “service” trying to resolve an issue and your agent takes a break. When he returns and I don’t reply as I’m getting lunch I get cut off. And guess what?
-
Ms S (@Shazer1980) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia your phone lines are never answered your online chat is not responding or resolving my issues which have been on going since October. I can’t work from home!!!
-
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!
-
Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England@virginmedia Your pre-installs team cannot assist either. It seems nobody can actually help.
-
Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England@virginmedia Several complaints have been raised. I’ve been calling most days since October 2nd. Come someone please help?
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia I “chatted” last week. Your only solution was me paying for a service I cancelled. I “chatted” yesterday to both departments that could apparently help. Neither could unless I paid for a service I cancelled. More chat? Which department this time??
-
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

Karen (@Karen31332753) reported@biggle1908 Been with virgin media since it used to be cabletel 40 yrs ago nearly ... Service is good but if you have a problem your knackered unless you speak Urdu !!!
-
🅲🅷🆁🅸🆂 🚜🚛 (@rigga_mortis) reported@306notout @virginmedia @VodafoneUK Shame you've not got Connect Fibre Matt (UK call centre), just moved to them with 1Gb up and down, and going over to Sky Ultra for TV in a couple of weeks - I know its not always about money, but £50 less per month is worth it.
-
Matt Fowler (@306notout) reportedAbysmal service from @virginmedia today, no problem I’ll source broadband from @VodafoneUK instead. 👋👋
-
Shardon (@shardon1980) reported@virginmedia Issue still not fixed . your compensation is £10.34 a day . What about subscription services like Netflix etc . I’ve had to use data from my phone to work, this is unacceptable in an age where everything is WiFi. Also no contact from your team. This is a major issue in the area
-
Oracle (@biggle1908) reportedLooking for some advice lovely people. For twenty something years I have had broadband from BT and TV from Sky. Sky’s renewal is coming in at over £100 per month and am currently paying £62 for BT which is now painfully slow. I have been looking at Virgin Media for both and this gives me a saving of around £70 per month for much faster broadband. What are people’s experiences with Virgin Media. Thanks in advance.
-
Jacqueline Bolton (@JacquelineBolto) reported@virginmedia No Internet since 5am today. Checked status no reported issues in our area. Equipment all fine. What do you suggest I do???

Zoe Smith (@ladyspeakerz) reported@andyburnham PLEASE READ THIS TWEET EVERYONE. IF ANY VIRGIN MEDIA STAFF AT BAGULEY MANCHESTER CALL CENTRE WHERE I WORKED WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR SLANDERING ME / FRAMING ME. THEN HERES PROOF THAT COMPANY ARE A BUNCH OF CRUEL UNETHICAL IMMORAL SCAMMERS YOU DONT THINK IF THEY CAPABLE OF DOING THIS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY CAPABLE OF DOING TO A WOMAN THEY HATE AND NO DOUBT JEALOUS OF here’s some confirmed validated real evidence NOT THEM BEING FRAMED that the staff at Virgin media call centres were all pardoned allowed to scam MILLIONS of their customers Here is proof Copied and pasted from Google please refer to articles in the press that confirm this what I’ve tweeted here If you think moral decent people do this to their customers scamming them in a cruel cold way SEEK JESUS  Virgin Media was fined a record £28 million by Ofcom in July 2026 for deliberately making it difficult for customers to cancel their contracts and switch to rival providers. Investigation Findings The regulatory investigation covered calls made between January 1, 2022, and September 11, 2024. Ofcom found that MILLIONS of customer service interactions were mishandled to prevent or delay cancellations. Specific tactics included: • Deliberately dropping or hanging up calls when customers asked to cancel. Putting callers on hold for no reason to frustrate them Excessive and unnecessary call transfers between departments. Using a two-tier retention system where only specific agents were allowed to process final cancellations. THIS LOT ARE CONFIRMED CRUEL SCAMMERS
