-
Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, England@AsadMoghal @virginmedia That’s of course if you get a reply from a genuine account . Lots of scammer accounts reply to Vm complaint tweets - because there are so very many online complaints #virginmediadown

-
Brigitte RicouBellan (@globalbribri) reported from Paddington, EnglandVirgin Media upload 0.5 Mbps (Vs. a 30Mbps + promise) since 13/11. No fix in sight in spite of @virginmedia having acknowledged our pb, at a time where having a decent internet service in your home is a matter of life & death.

-
Joseph Machta⭐⭐ (@pepemac27) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia hey there. Our broadband has been down since yesterday and the estimated fix time keeps being put later and later. My wife is working from home today so it's pretty impossible. Please could we have some sort of replacement dongle in the mean time?
-

Edward Baran (@edward_baran) reported from Kensington, EnglandLike night follows day, it gets a bit hot and @virginmedia goes down. Useless #virginmediadown #virginmedia
-
Duarte Mendonça (@DuarteMendonca) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia having massive issues with billing and tried over 5 times to sort this over the phone. Most times someone will hang up and not call back making me have to call again, wait for 30m, tell the whole story again. Need to speak to an actual human at a store. Suggestions?
-
Anthony Payne (@Anthony_Lonres) reported from Kensington, EnglandTo all my friends who recommended @virginmedia please don’t contact me again. They are without doubt the worst company I have had the misfortune of being a customer to. If you’re considering them. Don’t.
-
Foodwise Woman (@FoodwiseWomen) reported from Kensington, EnglandI’m trying to live chat to @virginmedia to see if they can install a Hub 5 router in our area as Apple reporting privacy problems with existing router. I’m on hold for a ‘live’ agent but their Terri Triage BOT requires me to press the ‘Yes I’ll hold button’ every 40secs. 😱😱😱
-
Shaz (@Housewife6) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginhelp i have been having issues with my broadband with @virginmedia for months. The router has been changed still no joy, a virtual tech was supposed to call me on Wed, he didnt, i keep calling and im still at square 1. Kids all study from home, so frustrating, help me🙏🏼🙏🏼
-
craig crawford (@craiginmotion) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia once again #epicfail no WiFi and after 20 mins on hold to speak to someone I’ve lost the will to live. What’s this **** hold music anyway? I want to cancel my service. You’re not the only game in town. See ya
-
Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England@Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Thought about it, but it’s most likely a management directive, nothing will happen. All I want is my package, set up the new flat, and not hear about them until we cancel again, hopefully last time.

-
Dave (@DaveWW1877) reportedHas anyone else received horrendous Customer Service from @virginmedia regarding the handling of complaints. ?
-
tina town (@tinajohnson123) reported@Benleo @virginmedia We had Virgin media years ago, worst service ever. Go to sky as they are always offering great deals for new customers
-
D (@idczn) reportedThe only contract I ever signed with Virgin Media was in 2018, and it continues to this day. I have never changed or upgraded it; I only occasionally tried to report home network connection issues. It turns out that in November 2024, a two-year contract was accepted, which I only found out about in 2025 when I wanted to cancel their services. I couldn't leave them XD However, checking who did this on my behalf and when (because it certainly wasn't me) was impossible, as I had no way to log into my Virgin account Now I cansee- the accepted contract has different number? There is no any signature of mine- and information that was sent to e-mail: back then controlled by hacker
-
Peter Totays (@p_tar) reported@LouiseMensch @virginmedia @Benleo The worst company!
-
chris8854.bskysocial (@chris327759) reported@virginmedia No I’m aware of the power outage so all I want to do is watch tv which is fine. There’s no internet yet, it’s the message constantly flashing up on the screen that’s annoying. Once u have seen it once, u shouldn’t need to see it again, but every 10 seconds it’s there
-
Dave (@DaveWW1877) reported@virginmedia The biggest joke of a company when it comes to Customer Service, absolutely disgraceful the way the treat customers Had a complaint on going since the 30th March and they still can’t get it right to resolve even after speaking with a Senior Complaints Manager. 😡
-
guygorilla (@guygorillacity) reported@Benleo @virginmedia Agree - worst company - taking more than fixed price contract stipulated from an old age pensioner.
-
David kirk (@Selhurst1905) reported@virginmedia @teamwedge999 I need help @virginmedia. App not worked since joining 5 weeks ago fibre is lagging all the time yet all I keep getting told is our team is dealing with it over 5 weeks shocking customer service
-
Jennifer Arcuri (@Jenniferarcuri) reported@Benleo @ailsybabe @virginmedia Please make an example and put them in their place. Hopefully out of buisness. Horrible company, Virginmedia.
