MarcHayo (@markhayo) reported from Kensington, EnglandWell done to the engineers @virginmedia for sorting out my internet in Earl’s Court (ahead of time as usual). I appreciate that people have genuine problems, but we need to keep a sense of proportion. Especially compared with brave Ukrainians who face far worse troubles than us.
-
Gabor (@GaborPfalzer) reported from Kensington, England@Mike_Randazzo1 @virginmedia Oh, they did let me cancel, but I had to answer about 3 “last question”s before they proceeded 5 minute response time on chat, took me nearly two hours, after the 4 hours it took to connect an agent. We could get a contract with a credit check in 5 minutes.
-
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. 😱😱😱
-
Nicky Beale (@NickyJBeale) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia not very happy with the service from Virgin Media! After looking to leave them last week they promised to improve the WiFi and install a 2nd box. Well we have never and now they want to install the 2nd box in a MONTH and a HALF! #poorservice #virginmedia

Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Just spoke on the phone with an agent called Denande; I explained to her that days ago other Virgin agents reassured us that we would get compensation towards our next bill due to this outage and she said they lied to us and we won’t get any. This whole mess is becoming a circus

Priya🦋 (@sayitrightltd) reported from Kensington, EnglandHey @virginmedia ... my WiFi has been down for over an hour now. Unable to WFH without working WiFi. Help.
-
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?

Nick ****** (@nickhooker) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia has the very worst customer service of any company I have ever had to deal with. If you value your sanity DO NOT sign up with them to provide anything!
-
Rashid Iqbal ☔ (@Rashidfreed) reported from Kensington, England@Rhodri_H_Davies @virginmedia It's #virginontheridiculous that @virginmedia have had the same lame excuse for their 'temporary', nightmarish wait times on their 'helpline' for 12 months now Who else gets the dropped calls as soon as you mention a bad broadband connection? Were trying to #homeschool here!
-
Shaz (@Housewife6) reported from Hammersmith, England@virginmedia I just got a direct message from you but i dont think it was you! Also no issues but the wifi wasnt working. Its back now will go again
-
Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Hello there, it’s past 12pm and we’re still without any Internet connection (and getting desperate now). I’d like to stress that this isn’t an intermittent signal issue but a total loss of service as we’ve been having no Internet connection AT ALL since last Friday. HELP PLEASE!
-
MIKA SIMMONS (@MissMikaSimmons) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Yes the TV is down in my area. The wifi is fine. I have known this for days and no one at Virgin media picks up a call or returns the text. I’d like to cancel my account
-
helena (@hdl_dl) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia how long is tv and broadband going to be down today in the Kensington area?
-
Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia Yes I did try to call but couldn’t get hold of anyone after a 20 min wait. As you can see from the screenshot above in previous tweet, every appointment I make gets cancelled. Are you able to do something about this? Any help would be much appreciated
-
Alessandro Ferrara (@iamAleFerrara) reported from Kensington, England@virginmedia I’m sorry but we have been facing a total loss of service since we have no Internet connection whatsoever!

CMDR Andy Fireblade Muza (@andymuza) reported@virginmedia why is it when a contract ends you remove all previous offers instead of automatically giving the loyal customer the best offer you can do? Also why don't you contact the customer about it instead of just increasing their price by a large amount. What a joke.
-
Adz (@MrAdz259) reported@virginmedia I sent a notice of cancellation on 16/03/26. So my service would end and be disconnected on 16/04/2026, as advised by one of your customer reps.
-
Katie Stevenson (@GlitteringAngel) reportedTell me, @virginmedia, how many people do I need to speak to before you make me (a longstanding customer) feel as valued as a NEW customer!? Coming to the end of contract and doing the same merry dance thatbwe always do, trying to get a decent deal!
-
RAT PT 01 🏴🇬🇧 (@Dekka_44) reportedLost my blue tick due to a banking error. I absolutely ******* hate virgin bank. Never had these issues when it was Yorkshire bank. Had virgin media payment bounce back for 3 months, octopus energy almost 2 month. Money went out then came back again. I didn't realise at the time.

begüm (@begumdi) reported@virginmedia can you please fix the internet? It’s down for the last 5 hours in East London.

Net Zero Watch (@NetZeroWatch) reportedMobile network operators have warned they could be forced to ration phone signal access to combat soaring energy prices triggered by the war in Iran. In a stark warning to the Government, telecoms giants including VodafoneThree, Virgin Media O2 and EE said they were drawing up emergency contingency plans after being excluded from Rachel Reeves’s energy support scheme. More Net Zero issues for consumers. #CostOfNetZero
