steven lambert (@stelambert1977) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, EnglandWhen will the channels issue be fixed? @virginmedia #virginmedia
-
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
-
Louise Baldock 💙 (@LouiseBaldock) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England2 calls on landline from Asia, using dummy UK phone numbers, pretending to be from Virgin Media, telling me of a problem with the security of my router. Neither liked it when I told them their mother and father would be deeply ashamed if they knew what their son was doing.
-
Big Al H (@AlanHewitt10) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England@virginmedia how do you have the front to increase my bills by nearly 20 percent and yet your service has been awful lately. In the morning my tv broadband and landline is going. And my mobile will not be renewed.
-
rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England@virginmedia Thanks, do you have an ETA of when you’re issue will be resolved? Many of us could of purchased this game with a different streaming service if we knew you would be having the same issues with red button as per usual
-
Paul Ryder (@ryderboy24) reported from Hart, England@virginmedia any reason why my broadband is so slow and my bill is so expensive
-
gary doyle (@werbedoyle) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England@virginmedia hey hey virgin media wifis down. Your web site says it fixed ????
-
Peter 🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England@virginmedia Checked l the internal cabling and all right etc so hopefully just a lose wire somewhere at the cabinet or something the engineer can easily fix. Is there any refund due to lack of service? I pay £67 a month. Can offset that against my mobile phone data
-
Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England@virginmedia You won't process it as I am not willing to pay for 30 days of no Internet as the hub has almost zero range even if my line issues are resolved

Box National (@BoxNational) reportedHi , how can I escalate a serious issue which after 7 days is getting worse and im getting packages and increases which I am not asking for in fact I cant believe the incompetence from your customer services, its really bad and I need to speak to someone urgently @virginmedia
-
Charles Forsyth (@charles_forsyth) reported@biggle1908 @SBarrettBar @zeninternet I have both Zen and Virgin Media (two fibres). Zen is symmetric but VM is not (here), despite Zen being half the price. Symmetry (or not) depends on the underlying infrastructure supplier. VM has been great over many years, fairly usual tech support; Zen has been excellent and the tech support is very techy. ("Symmetric" here means upload and download rate is the same; often upload is much slower.)

Investigation Findings The regulatory investigation covered calls made between January 1, 2022, and September 11, 2024. Ofcom found that MILLIONS of customer service interactions were mishandled to prevent or delay cancellations. Specific tactics included: • Deliberately dropping or hanging up calls when customers asked to cancel. Putting callers on hold for no reason to frustrate them Excessive and unnecessary call transfers between departments. Using a two-tier retention system where only specific agents were allowed to process final cancellations. THIS LOT ARE CONFIRMED CRUEL SCAMMERS
