-
Cook Pass Babtridge (@andytideswell) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia absolutely awful service. So much for looking after elderly and vulnerable customers. Trying to sell services that are not needed or wanted.
-
Meyrick (@iMeyrick) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, EnglandMe to the controller after reconnecting to @vatsim for the 5th time in one flight due to the virgin media outage.
-
Mark ODonnell (@TheLensman) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England@virginmedia It might be best if you send a DM - we had a phone call from people who said they were virgin support. We have a phone number but the call felt wrong
-
Julie Podet (@JuPo71) reported from Biddulph, England@virginmedia your service is very poor for older people. Almost an hour and still not resolved my mum’s issues!
-
Richard Gannon (@RichardGannon23) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, England@virginmedia my broadband and TV services seem to be down again since 5am
-
Les Chaplin (@LesChaplin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia I am not stupid I get that! However, the text I received said welcome to Greece you can use your phone exactly the same as if in the uk so I had absolutely no reason to switch roaming off when I never left the resort. I have kept the texts which state exactly that
-
💻gremlins r us💻 (@PlumbousSkin) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia I experience this problem all the time. Our phones dont connect, our internet randomly drops out, this isnt a new problem. Just a frustrating one. Everytime we 'monitor it for a week then check back' nothing is ever fixed. Its just a bad service in general.
-
Ian Fraser (@IXL) reported from Keele, EnglandDear @virginmedia. I’d like to cancel my account. I’ve called 4 times this afternoon, put on hold for ages and been disconnected each time. Why are you making it so hard?
-
Sophie Bridgett (@sophiebridgett) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia terrible internet this past 2 weeks!! Consistenly dropping 😫😫
-
Jacqui Riley (@cajriley51) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia I have been trying to sort out the issue off my password not working and the internet dropping out for over a week. I am getting passed around in circles. Please can you tell me how much notice I need give to leave and also give me an email for complaints please
-
SBJ💙 (@SharonJukes) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, EnglandTwo days have now passed and they have heard nothing. They have no phone or internet and Dad is 80. Please can someone contact me and I will provide further details by DM. This is poor service for what you class as a vulnerable age group. I have tried to call you #virginmedia
-
James Hope (@gingerjames1990) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia Sorry are you not reading what I am saying? Three calls in the past 90 minutes and still they either don't understand what I'm saying or refuse to take a complaint!
-
Moorland (@moorland2) reported from Endon, EnglandIf @virginmedia try and flog you 1 of these let me know, I’ve had them for 2 yrs and they have been nothing but crap from the get go
-
James O'Hara (@jamesjohara) reported from Newcastle-under-Lyme District, EnglandEr....@virginmedia it's not working!
-
Matthew Hughes (@MattHugheslives) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, EnglandSo @virginmedia is increasing their prices by £8.50 pm. Wouldn't mind so much if they had decent service, eifi that doesn't cut out when i go upstairs, Sky Atlantic etc. Would go with @SkyUK but their wifi doesn't like bloody copper pipes.
-
Andrea Day (@Andreaeday) reported from Biddulph, England@virginmedia 2/2 when modem mode was suggest I was just told it “turns off WiFi” - no help on how to fix. VPN is common from domestic WiFi - you should be clear and transparent to customers that you don’t support rather than charging for gadget rescue for something that can’t be fixed.
-
Mark ODonnell (@TheLensman) reported from Crewe, England@virginmedia The number used 01455443469 in the UK. They said they had detected problems on our router & wanted to help. They asked me to enter a web site. Having spent almost 40 years in IT I felt it was wrong. The router does have slow moments but I had not reported it.

bazza baz (@demonbaz666) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, EnglandInternet is shit will be streaming sum time tonight fking virgin media r shit
-
Matt Harrison (@paramattharri84) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England@virginmedia No! I'm not a customer its @KezMH who you need to apologise to. Seemingly your lack of ability to even read this thread properly emphasises your lack of ability to provide acceptable customer service
-
🍃Lana Banana🍂 (@Laaana_bananaaa) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, EnglandHow ******** can Virgin Media say it's too expensive to connect us with WiFi in this area and would take them years to earn it back, when other people in the smae street have it!!??? 🙃😠

-
Gabby Harrington-Poole (@Gabarillo) reportedNon stop problems with @virginmedia over the last couple of months. Today is exceptionally bad. I’m unable to work from home, not great when you’ve got press deadlines. Bet there won’t be any reduction on the direct debit they take! Time for an official complaint I think!
-
Jase Whelan (@WiJayWhelan) reported@virginmedia so 4 days later i receive this 😡Virgin Media Outage Update - Description: Service update. Broadband, Voice and TV fault F012405802. The latest update we have is: We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way. The estimated repair time is now: 12/08/2026 13:00:00
-
A-A-RON (@rising_lefty) reported@j_ball13 @virginmedia They were awful when my nan died. I told them so they could cancel everything, sent proof and still tried to charge each month.
-
Caz (@Ca33ieKins) reported@virginmedia Horrendous service! Complete outage all day today. TQ area. No apology. Just the usual standard dialogue. Not acceptable.
-
LiamGM ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️ (@LiamGM90) reported@virginmedia Sort this problem you have up and down the country With both broadband and TV Cause it needs to be fix ASAP
-
Shardon (@shardon1980) reported@virginmedia I can’t send DMs but update. Issue won’t be fixed until 14th August . Absolutely unacceptable. No notice or comms I had to check myself. I pay you a lot of money. To be over 2 weeks with no WiFi is unacceptable. No details either and your hotline has a wait time of over 45 mins.
-
Jackie (@boomerangjf) reported@virginmedia your service is diabolical ! We are still experiencing intermittent/reduction in service after being told it would be working properly from 29 July. I assume you will be expecting a reduction in payment from me?
-
Militia Matt (@DrealSMAK) reported@PaulTurner140 @virginmedia Oh I know this. I did DM and they’ve given some instructions. If those don’t work I’ll be gone. Can’t be paying for rubbish service
-
Jack Ball (@j_ball13) reported.@virginmedia your bereavement team are a nightmare. We’re trying to transfer account from my deceased parent but we’ve been told we have to immediately cancel within 24 hours? Baring in mind we haven’t got anything else sorted to continue? Is this policy you promote to everyone?
-
The Navigator (@Navigator429) reported@virginmedia hi. I am an ex customer of yours but it seems my account is still active. I keep getting emails alerting me to someone trying to log into my account. How do I request my account to be deleted? You shouldn’t hold an active account for me if I’m not a live customer.
