Illy Mus ๐ (@illymus) reported from Camberwell, England@virginmedia so you hike our prices up and then the Internet has been awful today. Left home at 6am, just got home and still the same issue. Our landline relies on Internet and so does my 83 year old mother who uses it. Remind me what I am paying for???

Chris ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ช๐บ (@strutcakes) reported from Lambeth, EnglandCalled Virgin Media to complain about the TV box not working and to get it removed from my package. Somehow ended up singing another 18 month contract with the TV box included but at a reduced price. Not ideal but not horrendous.

โ ๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โ (@Polythane) reported@VeltisLeEvil @Thatisdiffi You wait, I guess. But with Virgin Media, my internet very rarely goes down, and if it does, I can just go outside and do something else, like go watch some movies. It's never usually out for more than 3 hours
-
Raymond Watts (@raydwatts) reported@virginmedia you are being complete **** again. An intermittent service for vthe past week with no resolution, no compensation and no hope of ever getting the internet we are being charged for ๐คฌ๐คฌ๐คฌ
-
Paul Tee (@Nokkapie) reportedYes @virginmedia I love being charged more than the contract I agreed! I also love being ignored when making a formal complaint. Defo won be renewing another contract. Awful behaviour from a business ive used for 20 years!
-
Mark Oram (@markoram1) reported@virginmedia inc movies & sport & 1gb broadband all for a lady who has never used either and only sends the odd email . We have just spent another evening waiting another missed call and still no response to an email we sent a couple weeks ago . This is all causing her distress .
-
Will (@willmgreenhalgh) reported@virginmedia is down So forced to use data but @O2 is so slow and bad it struggles to connect to anything and the o2 network app says phone masts aren't working Great service all round, not, what's the point of doubling my data if I can't connect to anything
-
Omar (@Omar_Hojeer) reported@virginmedia Hi Iโm having issues signing into my account
-
Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported@virginmedia Do something about your useless Customer Service. You used to have shops and phone lines so that I could taslkd to a real person. Your automated systems have always been uselss and now you want me to send you an audio or a video message, neither of which works.

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.

hayden willan (@Hayden_Willan) reported@virginmedia So whatโs the point of the online renewal journey? Is the system designed to help customers, or just to annoy them?
