-
Hannah Tompkins (@he_tompkins) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia my broadband was “delivered” today by Yodel but the package is no where to be seen and wasn’t attempted (I’ve been in all day waiting). I can’t get any help from them, please help!! 😭
-
Hannah Tompkins (@he_tompkins) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Hi there, I was told I would receive my replacement broadband by today and still no indication of when it’s going to arrive. Any help?
-
Paul Terry (@SurrealPaulT) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia hi Virgin. We had an outage of broadband and TV services beginning 23rd Sept which lasted for 4 days. At the time we were told we would be compensated for this loss. As it hasn't come off our latest bill, how do we claim?
-
David (@Aldehulme) reported from Oldham, England@virginmedia I need to speak to somebody regarding a broadband problem without you running a check that will cut me off the internet. How do I get past this to speak to a person?
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia I first informed Virgin Media that my internet was down via online chat on Friday afternoon. Will this have automatically been the time when my loss of service was registered as at the time the advisor said it would be fixed in 24 hours?
-
Sandy Lindsay MBE 🐝 (@SandyLindsay) reported from Sale, EnglandHave @virginmedia gone down in South Manchester??? Been kicked off the wifi!
-
kevin.james (@pillbo01) reported from Bolton, EnglandI have virgin media but they don’t have a Customer service that you can speak to. Or email I’ve had a problem for over a month since an engineer messed about in the box in the street. Picture on tv keeps pixilated.
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia It’s everything connected via Wi-Fi. I don’t have the connect app. I check for service status on your website and it usually says there isn’t an issue, but that doesn’t reflect my service.
-
Chris Atkinson (@AckersStorm) reported from Middleton, England@virginmedia when will the broadband issues be fixed properly in my area?
-
Simon Manning 🇪🇺 - SiManM20@mstdn.uk (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England@nrgloz @virginmedia Your paying 75% of what we are for 35% of the d/speed there. Neighbour has just switched to Brsk - it’s full #fttp so 1Gb both up/down rather than the 52Mb UL Virgin offer via DOCSIS. £40pm
-
Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Don't give me your copy and pasted waffle. You have done nothing to help. You have been an absolute thorn in my side! "I'm so sorry you feel this way" is such an outdated and terrible response from a marketing point of view btw.
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia I was also promised a call back from a manager within 24 hours on a phone call on Friday afternoon. I did not receive this phone call. This is absolutely disgusting and I expect something to be done. I rely on your service for my income as I work from home. (2/3)
-
Anthony Taylor (@anttaylor23) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia The what's app line is fine, your advisers don't seem like they want to keep me as a customer. Well not for a decent price anyway 👀
-
Scott Moseley (@roslers_vest) reported from Rochdale, England@virginmedia Submitting a complaint will probably result in an apology at best. Given I pay £1k per annum for an unreliable service it’s time to look for an alternative provider who can offer a more satisfactory customer experience
-
Michael Clark (@michaelclark09) reported from Sale, England@Shredda @virginmedia Oh damn, that's peak. Might just be a coincidence then 🤔
-
Christopher Fox (@ChrisFoxRacing) reported from Bolton, England@virginmedia Already reported the broadband issues, and it's an issue where estimated fix times keep getting pushed back. With regards to mobile issues, this has been around the same length of time. The only way I've been able to get any connection at all is by switching to 3G

Dave Garside🇺🇦🇬🇧❤️ (@DaveGarside) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia No. Tv is fine. I can access VOD such as Amazon Prime & Youtube no problem
-
Reece Jordan Doonan, RN (@Lerounxi) reported from Salford, England@virginmedia can you confirm if there’s active engineer trying to rectify the service outage Manchester (M30). Widespread issues reported according to your service outage on website ?
-
johnsonhomes (@johnsonhomes2) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia Her phone like works at the moment because she has power but not in a power cut. This is one of the issues set out in the email which VM requested I send on Wednesday

Chris Lander (@christophlander) reported@virginmedia Thanks for your faux sympathy, but its still not working. Terrible service. Is there a way to compensate for this?
-
Jet_Piranha🔞 (@Jet_Piranha) reported@virginmedia broadband has been down for 13 hours so far and the estimated fix is still 11 hours from now, what is going on?
-
Alicia Folge (@ASoria34455) reported@virginmedia @virginmedia how can you leave customers without access to internet for days in 2026? I just came back from South America & when we had a problem it was fixed within the hour, you really can’t do better?
-
Steven Byrne (@Lavelle250187) reported@virginmedia Your service is disgraceful. I joined less than a month ago and my internet has already failed twice. 1st time it was down for 3 days, now it’s been 2 days and could be a week. I want to leave your awful service, but you won’t let me. This is not what was promised!
-
jason (@Jason29wctb) reported@virginmedia @LDA74 First complaint was made 3/1/2023 and got worse
-
Mr B’s History (@MrZacJamesB) reported@virginmedia has had at least 3 outages in the past week in my area. Becoming all too common and I work from home… my phone signal (for data usage) with O2 is also conveniently incredibly poor. Is there something we should be aware of?
-
Emma (@em_doapsi) reported@virginmedia please fix your phone issues in the burbage area.
-
Helen Brown (@helen_brown65) reported@virginmedia please sort out the broadband issue in CT17 9NB. Absolutely unacceptable service. Will be changing providers if not fixed by this afternoon !!!
-
Simon Whale ™ (@Simon_Whale) reported@SarkySodRyan @virginmedia Nothing but , years of fighting with engineering and customer service . Most of our street abandoned them for @youfibre who so far have been great
-
GeekyHairyBestia (@GeekyHairy) reported@virginmedia is your new ploy to get people to use your mobile device then provide the worse broadband on the market that don’t even fully work 50% of the time so customers have to give you more money for mobile data. This handset never leaves the house and every month same issue
