  Useless service from @virginmedia called 2 discuss package options on hold for ages the agent says he was trying to help them puts me on hold then put the phone down. If their customer service is like that I think I’ll try give someone else a go @skytv can you do better?

  Paul Austin (@BagshotTwit) reported 16 minutes ago from Camberley, England

  @virginmedia I upgraded to the Ultimate Oomph package in Jan but still waiting for the order to be completed. I’ve contacted customer services on numerous times but no success, I’ve also raised a complaint. How do I actually get some help to complete the order?

  @virginmedia I have followed every instruction as advised. Turned off, set, check status and even network issue in area.. it just keeps dropping out daily with no know issues. It’s as if faster broadband has actually slowed it all down! Pse sort it out

  Cameron🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@CRJG_) reported 19 minutes ago from Bracknell, England

  Huge congrats to @virginmedia for having a web chat service that is so bad that I joined the chat to upgrade my broadband, but after waiting for an eternity for replies I’m pretty much ready to just close my account

• 
  Jim Moore (@HamiltonNashHR) reported 27 minutes ago from Winnersh, England

  So @virginmedia is down again, and their 4G backup dongle has failed to take over AGAIN. In fact, it has never once failed over to 4G in any of the outages we’ve ever had. Why am I paying for this? 😡

  Deborah Jessup (@Debbiejojessup) reported 27 minutes ago from Woodley, England

  Trying to cancel our Virgin Broadband what a nightmare. On hold for 90 mins still no one answers from the cancellation department. #virginmedia @virginmedia

  CM40 (@CM40UK) reported 29 minutes ago from Blackwater, England

  @MoneySavingExp How about they just deliver consistent service? I am leaving Virginmedia and they are making it hard, there rules state if I don’t get the speeds promised they I can leave without penalties, I’ve had 7 times where I have connection in the last 3 days! @virginmedia @richardbranson

  Tim Bourne (@TimSBourne) reported 29 minutes ago from Wokingham, England

  @virginmedia I'm sick of explaining this again & again - see previous tweets & msgs to VM. It isn't even noted - yesterday 2nd line support looked at my ticket & said I'm "not receiving any emails" NO NO NO! Just emails with etickets attached, even tho get non ticket emails from same sources

• 
  CM40 (@CM40UK) reported 31 minutes ago from Blackwater, England

  @virginmedia Sadly I am not, as I have never any compensation for the lost of my connection, I lost Wi-Fi for about hour yesterday but as normal virgin media are not up holding its guarantee. I an@self-employed and the one thing I rely on is my internet connection.

  @virginmedia I'm expecting a replacement set top box to replace a broken tivo. Told it will be delivered Weds. but I've had no confirmation email and not showing in my virgin app. Can anyone help

• 
  Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported 39 minutes ago 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

  @denman79 @virginmedia The irony is that @virginmedia are more like the Pistols -‘No point in asking you’ll get no reply’ and they seem ‘Pretty Vacant’ but ‘Never mind all that…..’ can someone please take some responsibility and ownership that seems to be sadly lacking atm

  @virginmedia RG6 no service

  Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported 59 minutes ago from Farnborough, England

  @virginmedia Yep. Wired isn’t working either. I have no broadband, no WiFi, no service. Been like this since Saturday and intermittent since Jan/Feb.

  My @virginmedia has completely gone down. On a Friday night & good Friday of all days. TV is completely blank 😣

  Bobby Bucks (@b0bbybux) reported 2 minutes ago

  @SBarrettBar @tescomobile Interesting, our fibre was down recently (Virgin Media, avoid like the plague) and our Tesco Mobile data coverage was absolutely terrible. If it haven’t been for my neighbour giving me access to his network, I would have been screwed. And we were down for a bloody week 🤬💩

• 
  John Munro (@Munro78) reported 3 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Got an email saying my contract expires soon. Taking my payments from £73.50 to £137.50 - I can’t seem to find any new deals that would bring my payments down to what my original contract was. Unless I become a new member and you charge £49.99. This can’t be right?

• 
  Paddy Sweeney (@PaddySw99745534) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @LucyW1972 Why is no one dealing with customer service complaints. For one month now I have emailed, messaged called but still your equipment has not been sorted. Paddy Sweeney

• 
  Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported 5 minutes ago

  @alan_reddish @virginmedia Day 34 here. And no proper answers such as whether any engineers have actually been out to try to fix things. Just stock answers from the @virginmedia script.

• 
  Declan Carty (@declancarty) reported 6 minutes ago

  @IrishTimes Perhaps someone like the excellent Patrick Freyne might investigate why, after all these YEARS, Sky subscribers in the ROI cannot get ITV channels, whilst Virgin Media customers have no probs in doing so. Is it still supposed to be a ‘rights’ issue ????

• 
  Seren 7 (@Seren_7) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia your online chat to us hasn’t worked for over 6 weeks. I have only been able to cancel today after being on a 1 hour call. Please advise when my account will be credited?

• 
  Escape to the Garden (@JanetsEscapades) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have recently closed by Broadband account. I returned your equipment on 25th August 2026. I have an in-post receipt. However, your email is no reply & there is no contact phone number for customer service? I am now getting further emails about returning this!

  Trying to upgrade my TV package with @virginmedia yet can’t get through to speak to someone. Gave up after being on hold for an hour. Appalling customer experience 🤯📺

  Helen Bedford (@helenxbedford) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hello! I have an engineer visit booked but it’s not on the app. I’ve raised a complaint about that but my complaint isn’t on the app. I started a live chat and was asked to move it to WhatsApp’s, but didn’t receive any comms. How can I get any response from Virgin?

  Hey @virginmedia, my internet has been down since 6pm yesterday and you still haven't managed to fix it. FFS! SORT IT OUT!
