  @virginmedia It's started working this morning after 24 hours down, bit strange that your website said there were no service issues anywhere 😒 I guess I'll cancel that engineer visit now.

  Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported 35 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia You are no longer my ISP due to your incompetence. Also there will be a lawsuit pending due to the fact I almost died from pneumonia with pulmonary oedema and sepsis later going into stage 2 respiratory failure. Your useless service is unacceptable.

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 36 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

  Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported 36 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee

  @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) reported 6 minutes ago

  Abysmal service from @virginmedia today, no problem I’ll source broadband from @VodafoneUK instead. 👋👋

  Shardon (@shardon1980) reported 8 minutes ago

  @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) reported 11 minutes ago

  Looking 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.

  @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
