    @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!

    @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)

    @virginmedia Red button for virgin, which I know isn’t true as I’ve used it before. I asked to raise complaints several times to which they just ignored before eventually saying they would raise one. He then said it was raised. Never known a complaint raised without someone describing it…

  • TerryFBH

    @virginmedia Why does your organisation make it so difficult to raise a complaint? Please advise with whom I may raise this.

    @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!

  • john_watson_
    𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕠𝕟 🎧🎙📻 (@john_watson_) reported from Redcar, England

    @dakotafiction @virginmedia Just want an eta of when this will be completed or resolved, can't even watch the firestick! It's obviously an issue looking at the amount of comments on Facebook.

    @virginmedia No estimated fix time. Just tells me there is a problem in my area which is affecting my service. I already know that.

    @virginmedia Is your red button not working again?!?

  • smarshallphoto

    @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?

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

    Hi @O2 @virginmedia have all todays allocated tickets for @peterkay_co_uk been sold for today? Been waiting ages - staring at a white screen…. Communication would really help please?

  • Sarahlw_95
    Sarah-Louise Wilkinson (@Sarahlw_95) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia is it normal practice for your employees to shout at customers down the phone and then hang up?

  • simonmp68
    SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia My services are suspended. I am housebound,no tv no internet. I only ask for an extension to further my services for one week but company rules and non-existent customer service is really upsetting me. I’ve been a loyal customer and feel betrayed

  • UKLightCreation
    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"

  • AndreaAndymac
    andrea mcdonald (@AndreaAndymac) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia as per usual the red button not working AGAIN the amount I pay you each month should provide me with a much much better service than this. What are you doing??????

  • simonmp68
    SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginhelp @Virgin Sorry,yeah it’s Virgin Media. Just waited an hour on Wednesday and it’s over half an hour now I can’t wait any longer owing to an appointment but I need some help as soon as possible Thankyou

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

    @virginmedia No, just continue to ignore me as they have no idea how to fix it

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia I’ve got 16 months left on my current contract but I’d like to cancel it as I have good reason

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia That was to keep SkyQ. Virgin only had their streaming service with no record.

  • 1947originalgo1
    ORIGINAL GOONER JOHN (@1947originalgo1) reported

    @virginmedia @gblondon1 The new virgin box has a mind of it's own, some days it decides not to record, other times it it decides to delete all your recordings. I will give it a couple more months if it continues as it has done in the past I will cancel it. I have been with virgin for over 20 years.

  • ColinFenn45
    Colin Fenn (@ColinFenn45) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, poor signal strength is wifi only, if I am streaming on my laptop it becomes unusable, with a msg not enough bandwidth, and will last for about 15mins. The signal strength notification struggles to make any bars, and eventually clears.

  • 2WB10
    2WB (@2WB10) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia You’ll come to regret it. They’re great when joining and setting up but if you have a problem be prepared for a lot of frustration and time wasting. They’re absolutely horrendous for customer service. I was lied to, transfered to dead lines, put on hold without coming back etc.

  • freeITstafford
    Free I.T. Stafford (@freeITstafford) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia All well and good until you get actual problems and need customer service (and you will).

  • Naish2Martin
    Martinius (@Naish2Martin) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia I hope for your sake that you don’t get technical issues with Virgin. I changed to them twice from Sky, they were awful !

  • rebeccaann1989
    rebecca ann jarvis (@rebeccaann1989) reported

    @virginmedia Saturday 6th June 2026 and after being told all my recordings that I was in the middle of watching I've now lost and now my box and tv is unusable as the 360 is unworkable and shouldn't have been changed as if it's not broke don't fix it now it's broke and unfixable

    @virginmedia What is going on with my Virgin Media WiFi and TV signal on my area KT3? Continual buffering on TV and phones.

    @virginmedia Trying to cancel my brother's phone and TV as he in hospital and will not be returning home. He is 85 and has no idea of his PASSWORD which is requested by every avenue I have tried. Any chance you can help?
