-
Peter 🐈🎸🕹️🍺♈ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England@virginmedia It was working fine, then went off and came back but the hub was flashing green quite quickly. When it renegotiates it's usually slow and steady green flash but this was really quick
-
Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England@virginmedia any chance we'll get reimbursed for the service outage in the TS20 postcode? 2 days we've had a fault
-
AllpointsTV - Jamie (@AllpointsTV) reported from Guisborough, England@virginmedia Yes , and it says no issues and then asks to check my equipment , this test says there is an issue with my equipment and I should check again in 24 hours so an engineer can be arranged . This has now been saying check back in an hour for the last two hours
-
Danny Taylor (@DannyTaylorDT) reported from Middlesbrough, EnglandEvery 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
-
Adam (@ajtheladplummy) reported from Middlesbrough, England@virginmedia Advertises the best fastest and most reliable internet you can get but all you get is buffering. Tried to call support team all you get is automated options, please select your option blah blah and all you get is we will send you a link. I want to speak to a human!

rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England@virginmedia how can I cancel my contract? Unable to get through via phone.
-
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?
-
Jonny Dearlove (@jonnydearlove) reported from Middleton St. George, England@virginmedia Hi. Weve just moved house and are trying to install a new router but house connections look out of date. What is the best contact for someone to help with this as may need someone to come out?
-
rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England@virginmedia Wireless mainly, even though the device is right next to the router. This is the 3rd day in a row - never had this problem in the 10yr of been a customer
-
Chloe (@chlowilson__) reported from Redcar, EnglandVirgin media wifi is down again.. surprise, surprise
-
SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England@virginmedia Having a hard time maintaining why I’ve remained so loyal. I’ve been going through a little bad time and ask for help as you publicise only to be treat like a third class citizen. Not happy my problem needs sorting today
-
Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England@virginmedia So when does that happen and why was this not pointed out at any time in the cancellation process. Now I'm not a customer how do I lodge a formal complaint please?
-
Daniel Thompson (@Danielson_1991) reported from Hartlepool, England@virginmedia I honestly can't deal with being passed around departments again. The problem is the WiFi is weak upstairs and I'm paying for a product thats not fit for service. You advertise intelligent pods to boost connections, all I want is to order one to resolve the issue.
-
Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England@virginmedia I've done this many times previously and does nothing, the most recent request to switch it from modem mode is so you would process my complaint with ofcom which in turn means I'm without WiFi for 30 days unless standing on the "superhub"
-
Jason N Beck (@beck5ter) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England@beardedian @VirginMediaCorp Then again I wouldn't expect anything less from Virgin Media. The only thing that is stopping me leaving them is losing my emails. Going to look into an alternative solution to that problem tomorrow
-
Mat⚙ (@NotEnoughTECH) reported from Ingleby Barwick, EnglandHey @virginmedia what's your support email address in the UK? Your website is absolutely useless in that regard
-

-

-
Sam Reynolds (@samr_1986) reported@virginmedia I joined in Dec 2025 at £23.99 a month and my broadband price has already increased in April 2026 after only a few months. I’m really disappointed with how quickly the advertised price changed. Can someone review my account and help with a better deal please?
