-
Mark 🏴 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July
-
Andrew Battle (@andy_s_battle) reported from East Ham, England@virginmedia Just spouting corporate line does not improve the situation. No advanced notice, no resolution to problem, appointment missed, but if I am not here for a visit I am fined. This is very one sided for a service that has other companies wanting the business
-
Adam H-Matthews (@AdamHMatthews) reported from Camberwell, England@virginmedia How does £8.40 a day cover 2 people unable to work for a full day? Still no contact from Virgin engineer or any comment on what the issue is? The time to fix the issue just keeps getting later.
-
Jane Common (@JaneCommon) reported from Camberwell, England@virginmedia I haven’t but everybody in my area having problems and we are all fuming.
-
Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from Poplar, England@virginmedia But your hub has died and as such I cannot access my broadband, use my landline as you moved it from copper to Ethernet and the TV services are impacted as I cannot record, watch the BBC or any streaming service. In short an outage.

-
Philip 🦅 (@Phil_Swallow) reported from Croydon, EnglandShockingly bad experience (again) from @vmbusiness @vmbusinesshelp - “upgrade” yesterday has wiped out my Wi-Fi - engineer coming next week. Couldn’t make it up, these cowboys really are the worst
-
Jane Common (@JaneCommon) reported from Camberwell, England@virginmedia hi, internet down in se5. A bit of a disaster for me as I have so much work on. Could you ask someone to check it?
-
Befitat50 (@befitat50) reported from Camberwell, England@virginmedia Guys it seems to me @virginmedia is the only one that has problems? My neighbour who uses “talk talk” has never ever had a problem.. I am tired of @virginmedia excuses and I will leave, had enough of it thou..
-
Tim Hyson (@timhyson) reported from Bromley, England@virginmedia 20 hours of being passed around your customer ‘care’ teams and no progress. And yet I doubt this is even close to a record.
-
Khaled Miah (@Khaled_Miah1) reported from Poplar, England@virginmedia very disappointed with the upgrade package in being offered by Virgin. You are offering a loyal customer to upgrade to Gig1 for £51.15 whereas new customers get it for £45 p/m. Where is the loyalty?
-

-
#TeamParkinsons Paul (@PJacksonClark) reported from Bromley, England@virginmedia Thanks KF for your speedy reply. But since "Frankie Bot" and I started chatting three hours ago via customer service chat I've been left waiting. Is that as good as it gets?
-

-
doozerlyn (@doozerlyn) reported@virginmedia... All replies about red button issue are 'working on getting it fixed'..... Sky boxes working fine.... Been a week now.... Bit of a joke aren't you?? What you going to do to make your customers happy cos empty apologies isn't doing it...
-
Conjured Undead 🧟♂️ (@conjuredundead) reported@virginmedia . Can someone please give me an update on an intermittent service issue dating back to 30/7/26? We’ve been told there’s a service cable issue but no update on a “fix” and the disruption is costing me as I can’t work from home, because broadband is unstable. Thanks.
-
Cruffers (@Cruffers) reported@virginmedia No you can’t log on in that way. I’ve tried it. And we shouldn’t have to when we’ve paid for the service. Very poor.
-
Peter Cotton (@pcisaram1956) reportedAny one else out there had problems getting to watch the football onSky Sports through a Virgin Media box today? #virginmedia
-
Boudicca and Viriato 🏴 🇵🇹 (@MystiqueCat17) reported@IainSankey @virginmedia We left them years ago, nightmare. Had to explain to one of their agents what a postcode was...at that point I realised we had to part company. I have never regretted getting rid of them.
-
Ryan (@SarkySodRyan) reported@virginmedia And given I'm already annoyed - don't ask me if I've switched it off and back on again. Of course I have. It still doesn't work.
-
kim 🥀 (@ersaztly) reportedVirgin media WiFi ******* sucks it’s been out since yesterday
-
Simon J Gleaden (@Simon_Gleaden) reported@IainSankey @virginmedia There's no reward for customer loyalty these days. One's reward for staying with the same company for years is to be treated as a mug!
-
Olive (@nongnangning1) reported@IainSankey @virginmedia I never pay more than £23 for my Virgin internet. Whenever my "special offer" runs out and they want to increase my bill, I just tell them i'll leave then and they relent...
