DimiD (@DimiD35089880) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia Promised date someone to sort external connections come and gone and still same s*****. Can’t believe 4 weeks and nobody can’t fix it. 🤔I think something is fishy @virginmedia get it sorted
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported 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.
-
Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia And yes I called to your outage number, apparently there is no known issue in the area. Even though last night at 11.30pm in the app the status check showed every service is down, even though they weren't down last night. This happens only during working hours.
-
Bowlesy (@Chateauneuf64) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia And there you have the extent of VM customer care folks!
-
Phil Stacey (@PhilStace20) reported from Maidenhead, EnglandHey @virginmedia I forgot how awful you were when it came to anything other than collecting my direct debit. Apparently you don’t have a complaints dept, genius, and after 4 calls to you today totally around three hours, you cut two of them off during the musical interlude!
-
Jim Moore (@HamiltonNashHR) reported from Winnersh, EnglandSo @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? 😡
-
Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting. Called, useless as always. Intermittent issues or connectivity issues. Just send an engineer to check, why wait for another 24h when this is an ongoing issue. I've even reset the hub, still same issues.
-
Thom Gibbons (@TheBadgerG) reported from Farnborough, England@virginmedia Yes, zero issues in area for broadband, pulled apart and reset the router numerous times. It just keeps wanting to download new settings, works for a bit and then fails. Engineer now booked for next Wednesday which is an eternity running my business from home.
-
CM40 (@CM40UK) reported from Blackwater, England@virginmedia No resolution has been offered by @virginmedia hence I have no cancelled my contract.
-
Inmita La **** Peora de Offo (@inmilla68) reported from Didcot, England@virginmedia Internet is not working properly in my pc and your virgin app does not work either. It has been like that since last night.
-
Ultra Mugnus (@mkn1ght) reported from Reading, England@monstroso @virginmedia A problem we all have.
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, England@Firesnapper999 @virginmedia It’s really frustrating; the third technician was brilliant, replaced everything almost like a new install and it worked great for just over a week. Now the status site says everything is good whilst a call to support says it isn’t. #Grrr
-
FFR Tweets💥🚀 (@FfrTweets) reported from Maidenhead, England@virginmedia really difficult to get connected with an agent and some decent support, been trying to reach for days, just get Bots! @richardbranson
-
Alison Jane Wilson (@AlisonJaneWilso) reported from Camberley, England@virginmedia truly awful company stuck in the dark ages why would you trust them with broadband when after 3 months notice to quit they take full payment and then you have to apply for a refund !!! Company run by dinosaurs looking for opportunities to rip you off when leaving !
-
Paul Mackenzie Ross (@pmross) reported from Farnborough, EnglandDear @VirginMedia, after 3x visits from technicians over 6 months (one of whom LIED about fixing bb/WiFi) I’m now back to no service (48 hours). Yes, tried rebooting, off/on etc, status says everything OK, Called yesterday and there IS an issue. When are you going to fix it?
-
Daniel Sherlock (@mcsherlocks) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Internet down at the moment in Woking also yesterday. Checked with my neighbours also down so is system wide
-
Philip Furlong (@PhilipFurlong2) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia They say it's company policy and as it's with IT they can no longer help! 1 week and no further forward.
-
Alex Bennell (@ABennell4709) reported from Twyford, England@virginmedia broadband issues in RG10? Please could you look into ASAP? I have no connectivity at all. Thanks
-
Greg Emmerson (@gregemmerson_) reported from Reading, England@virginmedia Completed the tests with the app, one room poor coverage

-
Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported@virginmedia I did direct message 4 days ago, nobody read or replied. I’ll recap- 2 weeks no service, five engineers sent to diagnose the same problem multiple times, no fix. Complaints team open and close complaints immediately with no resolution. Fix not due for at least another week.
-
Del 🌈 (@derrickca) reported@virginmedia WiFi has crashed out 3 times already this morning. The service is appalling. Trying to do some really vital work. Rebooted 3 times now. Getting seriously peed off 🤬
-
Lay D Fingers (@LayDFingers) reported@virginmedia can you please help me by sending a confirmation of my final bill pronto
-
Keiran Griffiths (@Keiran_Mark) reported@vdaybabygirl85 @rayquannnnnnn @virginmedia Keeps dropping out? Which VM Hub do you have? I've just got upgraded free from the hub 3 to hub 5 and so far haven't had any drop outs. Give the customer services a call and ask for an engineer (free) and when they come, it's ifs the hub 3, they'll change it for free.
-
Matt ⚡️ (@MattOfTheSouth) reported@virginmedia any reason why I can't get gig2 as a gig1 customer? Is it only available to new customers? Ridiculous if so. Postcode checker says it's available on my postcode if I was to order a new package?
-
paul d (@pauldewolfe) reported@virginmedia Really disappointed. Called to renew my contract but couldn’t get a good enough deal, so wanted to cancel. They couldn’t process it and told me to call back. I did, gave my name, email, ph number, bank details and last payment, but they still couldn’t pass security.
-
Trina S 💙 (@BrownEyedGirlGB) reportedBy December 2025 @virginmedia ongoing service monitoring determined I needed a free hub to stabilise connection. Lost track of how often internet has gone down for few minutes or so then come back. However, in last month it has been out for hours 3 times. 2/?
-
FoundNemo (@NemoH666266) reported@virginmedia @D4N7O Well, it is down @virginmedia. Isn't just a massive coincidence now is it? Lol
-
Brit Ian (@dearbrit_ian) reported@SandyofSuffolk You really are out of touch, unsurprisingly. Virgin Media getting fined £28 million for preventing customers from cancelling their subscription shows that this is endemic. Many businesses insist that you contact them via telephone to cancel, but they make it impossible to reach them via telephone. These days, many recurring payments are automated against your bank card so you cannot cancel it via the app, you have to cancel the actual card.

jackduk (@jackduk1) reported@VeeVeeFreeFox The very reason I'll never use @virginmedia
