We’ve been trying to contact my Uncle for a few days on his landline and it’s going direct to the message service.

Had one day of service and stupidly canx Engineer due next day and hey presto back down we go again. 1 week wait for engineer, 1 day of BB, and now earliest slot for Engineer +1 week. Buyer beware. Typing whilst 50 mins holding with VM!
-
Chris C (@a3racer) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia is there a fix time for the Virgin TV issue in the GU21 area? It’s been down now for over 24 hours! Will my account be credited with money that I have paid for no service?
-
Sharon Leaver (@leaver_sharon) reported from Bracknell, England@virginmedia Sorted now. Received an envelope last week with an adaptor. A leaflet inside stated we would receive an email when to change it. No such email received. Communication very poor
-
Haider Al-Rekabi 🏴☠️ (@HaiderAlRekabi) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia There is no problem in my area. My problem is specific to my account.
-
Craig (@Rochdale_Cowboy) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia I don't know. You never answer the phone when I call you.
-
Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia OK guys, could you ask your team behind the scenes to turn my BB signal up just a tad, you know, enough so it actually works? As your putting your prices up would be great to experience what I'm actually paying for now! Thanks
-
Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, EnglandReally hard to support brand @virginmedia and recommend them to anyone for Broadband. They may be the only competitor to BT but do you have to compete for last place?
-
Khurram Qayam (@kqbrain) reported from Reading, EnglandAnother day of bad experience with @virginmedia broadband service in RG6 area. Buffering on streaming service, no video calls possible on Skype and WhatsApp. Seriously thinking of switching to @bt_uk
-
Nicky Booty (@nickybootyy) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia when will the problems in rg1 be resolved?
-
Paul Collier (@Pablocollier) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Patchy. And the weekends enquiry regarding possibly upgrading... Non existent service.
-
Vito Serafino (@vserafino19) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia @tandcbroking Either a lot of people are checking the service status on the website or that site also not working. Cheers
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Nope. There’s “nothing wrong” with the broadband according to the status page. Never is. It’s always the hub supposedly downloading updates. 10 weeks of this now, getting a bit bored of the lack of service TBH. This needs to be escalated.

Scouse House Bouncy Music (@ScouseBouncy) reportedSo fed with @virginmedia. The sky sports plus system has not been working for over a week and they have done nothing to fix it! Starts playing and then crashes, works on the crappy stream box but the quality is poor, works via the apps and website but not on the normal box!
-
Roy Andrew Clarke (@royo42) reportedEvri have got to rate alongside Virgin Media as Bloody a awful excuse for a business!

Mitch W 71 (@Mitch_1142) reported@1Atkins @ThatsTVOfficial xenon81Message posted on30 Jul 2026 03:21 PM - last edited: 30 Jul 2026 03:22 PM That's TV has gradually removed all its channels from Sky, Freesat and Virgin Media over the last few months. It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.
-
Amrit Phull (@Amrit_Phull) reported@virginmedia You have an outage again to all services - broadband and tv. This is 3rd time in 6 months………you are the most pathetic communication company. Stop spending hundreds of thousands on your annoying TV ads, and use that money to improve your ******* service!!!
-
MrBazza 🎬 (@MrBazza) reported@O2 I have 3 mobile lines alongside volt package @VirginMedia broadband and an open complaint about contract rates. Your app is quoting me much more than what I currently pay! With Volt double data, I only need a low base plan. Please DM me to sort a fair deal.
-
Mark P (@WinnyOgden) reported@biggle1908 Avoid virgin media like the plague. Appalling customer service.
-
Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reportedDo @EE have any actual humans, other than those on commission in sales, working for them? Almost as bad as Virgin Media, certainly worse than @BT who seemed to have taken the worst from both companies and merged. Are there no good comms companies out there?
-
neil holden (@neil131161) reportedAnyone in your establishment care to answer & dare i wish you reply to my messages on webchat or Wassap?? Absolute shambles of a service 🤬 @virginmedia
-
Angela (@AngstAHD) reported.@virginmedia how are we supposed to get help/customer service? Phonelines are unanswered, the online chat goes around in circles and then stops communicating, the Whatsapp service doesn't work. Woeful today.
