  @virginmedia My issue is bband been down since Thursday night and Friday a tech visit for this morning between 8 and 12. Due to an outage at your end, the visit was incorrectly cancelled as your records showed as "now fixed". We didn't find this until contacting yourselves after 12 today

  @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

  @virginmedia Ok. I clicked on a link which advises that the problem will hopefully by fixed by 8.40 tonight. Hardly satisfactory but at least it’s better than knowing nothing. Thanks for your help.

  Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported 25 minutes ago from Redcar, England

  @virginmedia I’ve cancelled the visit but why should I have to call back in the first place to cancel a visit I didn’t agree to? I wanted it adding to my initial complaint or raising separately but no one was interested. Cancel my contract

• 
  Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported 26 minutes ago from Stockton-on-Tees, England

  @virginmedia hey virgin media - when I'm told a final figure on my account and find out the agent lied and gave me a higher figure and then your complaint team tell me not to worry it'll be sorted. My contract finished on 30/3 but you've still taken a full month's payment (1/2)

• 
  Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported 38 minutes ago 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!

• 
  Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported 39 minutes ago 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"

• 
  Terry Chapman or FBH (@TerryFBH) reported 41 minutes ago from Yarm, England

  @virginmedia I look forward to receiving your offer regarding the complaints that I already made and have still not received a response. I suppose you could consider this a further complaint that your complaints process is inadequate.

• 
  Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported 41 minutes ago from Redcar, England

  @virginmedia Rebooting does nothing and service status page says nothing and if it was to do with that it would mean you owe me 5 years worth of credit notes

  @virginmedia Finally red button service working on Virgin. Only missed half of the @Boro match!! ;however commentary is from the Blackburn match. #PoorService #virginmedia

  Big Al H (@AlanHewitt10) reported 45 minutes ago 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.

  @PandOminous @virginmedia Same here also TS10, no communication from @virginmedia as to whether it's down to the issues in Roseberry Square, and 3 to 4 network vans at the box, a car went in to it apparently. Even just an eta of when service will be restored would help!

  AllpointsTV - Jamie (@AllpointsTV) reported 1 hour ago from Guisborough, England

  @virginmedia so trying to get an engineer to fix my 1gb internet after days of it running at sub 200mb and disconnecting at midnight it’s now been off for over a day . I just kept being told try again in one hour

  @virginmedia broadband down again!!PR2 area!!

• 
  Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported 5 minutes ago

  @MrGee27 @virginmedia I disagree. Having suffered their appalling service too many times over the last six months, I think the senior management should be marched naked through the streets of Basingstoke and pelted with rotten fruit. Every weekend for a year.

• 
  Ian McNee (@IanSMcNee) reported 6 minutes ago

  I ditched @VirginMedia years ago over terrible customer service - this is the same as water companies: a semi-monopoly owned by US finance: asset stripping profiteers. Switched to local independent Andrews & Arnold - @AAISP. Top service, real people on the phone who fix problems.

• 
  Ian F (@mashie1964) reported 7 minutes ago

  I used to be with #VirginMedia for years. Service was poor, always having outages, sometimes for days. They’re the spivs of broadband communications. Now I see they’ve been caught abusing & trapping customers. Time they lost their licence to operate in the industry

  PEER COMMUNITY HUB, Our Empowerment Zone! 🇨🇦✌️ (@p_communityhub) reported 9 minutes ago

  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

• 
  Vocal and Proud (@Vocalandproudx) reported 11 minutes ago

  The £28 million fine by @Ofcom was long overdue. Hopefully, it sends a clear message to @virginmedia and the rest of the industry that making it difficult for customers to cancel simply isn’t acceptable.

• 
  BEAMS Consultants UK (@BEAMSEDU) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Is there any technical breakdown on BH6 area where no Sky transmission? Or is this an isolated one incident linked to one property? We have no transmission since mid day today, 07/07

• 
  X Odus to Bluesky. (@PaulWatters2) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia are an absolute ******* awful company to try a deal with. Not a ******* clue about customer service. It's all about keeping you in contract. Bring back Telewest.

• 
  Kelly Kilner (@KellyKilner) reported 21 minutes ago

  Good. This is the WORST telecoms company. I’m still reeling from the bad service i endured in Nov, Dec 2025. @virginmedia. I have said that I will write to Ofcom but tbh…I feel worn by them. There is a whole industry and profits based on BAD customer service.

  Graham Hill (@grahamhill1) reported 30 minutes ago

  @MartinSLewis Virgin Media were terrible to deal with when I had a contract with them, terrible customer service up until I quit - only then did I get to talk to someone in charge. I still quit and signed up to @sky
