Marls 🐝 (@Beaumont296) reported from Bursledon, England@virginmedia I have not looked on my account but I will. Your service is a complete joke. Meanwhile I’m paying the top level price for internet speed! It’s unbelievable really. My monthly bill is £139. At least **** Turpin wore a mask when he robbed people. @richardbranson

Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England@virginmedia Virgin are compensating me £5.25 a day. That’s £787. Two years of free service because they couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery
-
Rob Mcgimpsey (@Rob_Mcgimpsey) reported from Romsey, England@virginmedia I guarantee you they cannot help. I call every day, usually spending over an hour on the phone. The pre-installs team only promise me a call back from someone who can help, within 24-48hrs. The call back never comes, despite further requests for this to happen. Explain that?
-
Sarah-Jane Felicity (@SarahJaneDyke) reported from Eastleigh, England@hantsconnect @virginmedia Hi - I already logged a complaint when the damage was done 1st time
-
clarabella (@jarod4400) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia Funny how you don’t boast about your crap customer service.
-
Tom Weise (@tw17_09) reported from Locks Heath, England@robbyroberts90 @virginmedia They even took our number to call us back in case this happened....they never rang back!! Good luck!
-
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.
-
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.
-
Sarah-Jane Finch (@formula1girl) reported from Southampton, England@virginmedia I have just spoken to collections team who told me they cannot deal with my issue. They passed me to cancellation team who said they cannot deal with it only collections can. The issue is that I cancelled in July but you have no record of my call or letter.
-
Sim Dendy (@SimDendy) reported from Romsey, EnglandApologies if you can’t get hold of me - @virginmedia have ‘blacklisted’ my phone even though I am not a Virgin customer. After many hours/phone calls they are still unable to explain why & have said I need to write a letter (!) to escalate further 🤯 - any better ideas out there?
-
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!
-
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 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.

Rahim™ 🇬🇧🇲🇦 (@rahim94) reported from Southampton, EnglandYou know @btsport, it would be nice to watch the match in UHD, if only the UHD channel wasn't so jittery. 🤦 Whoever's problem it is, whether it's @btsport or @virginmedia, sort it out!!! #RANLIV #ChampionsLeague
-
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 😫
-
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
-
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...!!
-
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.
-
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
-
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.

-
sue (@suziepea619) reported@virginmedia when are you going to get your act together and get your red button working again? Over a week now and no joy still a daft message experiencing an issue with set top box. Working on a fix. How long is a fix?
-
Lee (@LeeDeacy90) reported@virginmedia who in their right mind decided that a software update was a good idea on the weekend the Premier League launches. Literally had no issue with my Sky or Sky+ yet you choose to do a update on the weekend the football launches. Absolutely shambolic decision making.
-
ravnsnakeeyes (@deltaforever428) reported@Katuhstrophikz @elliviant Virgin media is bad
-
Andy (@sadelta99) reported@andy_nicks60 @virginmedia Thinking of leaving them myself due to this same issue - don’t want just a Streaming box - and their info during a fault is absolutely ridiculous and too many lies
-
Sammy Mcfarlane (@SammyMcfarlane1) reported@virginmedia @alexand979677 BTW, it is an absolute farce that o can’t sign in to check my bills unless I get another email address that isn’t a virgin one. Who thought that one out?
-
Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reportedHi @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.
