    £40+ a month for WiFi which cuts in and out. Just another day for a @virginmedia customer 🤬😡

    Simon Clayton (@SiClayton) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    Absolutely atrocious service AGAIN from @virginmedia - broadband, TV, telephone - all down and Tuesday is the earliest anybody can be bothered to come out - from one of the largest telecoms companies in the UK 😡😡😡

  • UKLightCreation
    Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia They can't help either, the real issue, lets be honest, is the fact nobody at Virgin will admit their equipment is awful and not really fit for purpose, the least super thing ever is the superhub 3.0

  • rachsclarke
    rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia how can I cancel my contract? Unable to get through via phone.

  • Core_Legal
    CoreLegal (@Core_Legal) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    Our phone lines and internet are down at our Wakefield office at the moment due to a national Virgin media issue. We have been advised that this is trying to be rectified as soon as possible and when we have an update from them we will update our social media platforms.

  • gaznolan
    Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @beardedian @virginmedia @O2 Set up fee and possibly extra for the service you'll have before the next DD comes out?

  • DanielHill21
    Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia So why do you not have a chat system? I work in a similar industry and we are able to help our customer through chat, phone, online, social media it’s crazy a company of the size of virgin media can’t accommodate us. Not having a go at you I’m just disappointed in the system

    @cyclingbetting @virginmedia Had a similar issue before Christmas. One of their engineers came out, changed router cable and some settings on router. Works champion now

  • UKLightCreation
    Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia They are even worse, whoever your director of customer service is needs removing ASAP You will call me soon enough when the bill goes unpaid again!

    3 weeks and 2 engineers later and the broadband outage between the hours of 6 and 9 continues, absolute useless from @virginmedia next steps unless engineer 3 can fix this tomorrow is #ofcom and seeing if we can switch providers 👋

  • SimonHolliday13
    Simon (@SimonHolliday13) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately it's still not fixed. No TV and no Internet. Both keep dropping in and out intermittently. Which is better than zero service yesterday and I may finally finish that book on conscription I bought in Leeds earlier this year.

  • UKLightCreation
    Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I wouldn't recommend your media connect app its awful, the booster you sent out does exactly zero, as for blackspots around the house that would be anywhere in the house more than 1.5m from the hub, all the software in the world won't polish the turn you call a superhub

  • Jim_Gardner_
    Jim Gardner 🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@Jim_Gardner_) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @SimonMarksFSN Ironically it's the only streaming service of the latest to launch I considered subscribing to here in the UK because CNN removed itself from Sky and Virgin Media when Warner announced its own streaming platform. I hope it now comes back, although it never left LG's WebOS IPTV.

  • SiClayton
    Simon Clayton (@SiClayton) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    Hi @02 @virginmedia has all the allocated of @peterkay_co_uk tickets been sold for today? Been waiting ages - staring at a white screen…. Communication would really help please?

  • smarshallphoto
    ScottPhoto (@smarshallphoto) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @gracedavies I had a dream that I Met a Boy Online was used by Virgin Media in a TV advert, and you got paid a ****-ton of money. Does that count?

  • UKLightCreation
    Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Got the t-shirt, when I last went through it the resolution was for me to leave and not pay my last bill and see you court which was really helpful

  • Douggy1908
    Douggy (@Douggy1908) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia I have issues with everything

  • Shaunelious
    Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Or asking what outcome they want. Anyway, not long after I get a text saying a technician is coming out that I haven’t agreed to and if I’m not home when they come it’ll cost £25. So I have to call up to cancel that and was then told I can’t add to my complaint….

  • DannyTaylorDT
    Danny Taylor (@DannyTaylorDT) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    Every single championship midweek fixtures, there’s always an issue with the red button. They either forget to turn the game on or instead they’ve now managed to put the wrong commentary on. Sort it out @virginmedia @SkyFootball. Wrong commentary on the Boro game

  • salemsdaughters
    Kingofsalemsdaughter (@salemsdaughters) reported

    Mishandling calls isnt reserved for virgin media but the NHS and all their staff members. I received a long awaited call from 111 regarding my toddler. Id like to note its very late and he is now asleep. Before id even said hello after answering the phone call she rudely asked if i can hear her not even saying hello herself. That was an indication the rest of the call was going to be pointless. WTF?

  • Roskoe9
    Roskoe (@Roskoe9) reported

    @BrummieJas @MartinSLewis @virginmedia they do if u cancel m8 u get a phone call to ask u back within 24 hours, just have ready what u want price wise, we just quote new customer deals an when they say no just say well I left so if I come back technically I am a new customer

  • SmithChristian4
    Christian Smith (@SmithChristian4) reported

    @lukerobins @virginmedia I can stomach the £2 difference in offering, not sure if it’s area based, but a £14 offer for an existing customer when a new one gets it much cheaper is where I draw the line. Virgin I DM’d you as requested and you’re yet to come back to me….

    @virginmedia @Ofcom Will anyone ever do anything about Virgin's appalling customer service? Asking...just asking 27 minutes on hold n counting. Not ok

  • clm2071
    Septimus McClonk (@clm2071) reported

    Absolutely appalling service from @virginmedia - haven't sent me the equipment you promised, the equipment you have sent is broken on arrival. And over half an hour waiting on chat and call to speak to someone. Absolute joke

  • p_communityhub
    PEER COMMUNITY HUB, Our Empowerment Zone! 🇨🇦✌️ (@p_communityhub) reported

    Virgin Media was fined a record £28 million by the UK communications regulator, Ofcom, on July 8, 2026, for using deliberate tactics to trap customers trying to cancel their broadband, landline, or pay-TV services #News

  • mitzpatel85
    Mitesh Patel (@mitzpatel85) reported

    @Channel4News Don’t think £28m justifies their actions.. if they were deliberately putting customers on hold and dropping call while they tried to cancel, the fine should be £1bn - absolutely pathetic from Virgin Media

  • djnikc
    Blah! Blah! Blah! (@djnikc) reported

    @ElJaffoGuzman @virginmedia you won't help still waiting for a reply myself

  • ramnishkalsi
    Ramnish Kalsi (@ramnishkalsi) reported

    @virginmedia hope you are happy with the extra £200 when you failed to cancel my contract after 2 hours on phone. Karma strikes eventually.
