seiferxin (@seiferxin1) reported from London, England@virginmedia really let down by Virgin media. I'm on M200 and am getting 50M at the mo. As low as 0.18M around 7pm and 10M around 8pm. Your customer service chat hasn't responded in 3hrs. I've reset router and changed channels. It's been patchy all week What am I paying for?
-
Nicolas Laborie ( He/Him ) (@nicolas_laborie) reported from London, England@virginmedia Whats is happening ?? Been put in a queue only to have the CV phone put down on me twice without even talking to an operator ? What do I need to do to speak to someone??
-
Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England@virginmedia Please as I have been paying for service

Roger Highfield (@RogerHighfield) reported from London, England@virginmedia My broadband is down again - area21. Any idea of when it will be fixed?
-
グラハム・スミス® ©Official (@BancoDePapa) reported from London, England@TfL why is the 4G signal on the Central line underground only around the posh area's of Notting Hill Gate, Queensway and Holland Park? Since @virginmedia stopped their WiFi in April it's annoying that a major metropolis like London has no internet connections on a lot of lines
-
Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England@virginmedia The quality of customer service cannot be recommended. The long delays are a constant problem Coming up to 2 hours this morning and no response
-
Cate McLaurin (@madebycatem) reported from Camden Town, EnglandHello @virginmedia I get that things break sometimes. Do you think there’s a way you cld keep customers informed about how long it might take to fix it? I’ve tried your status page which tells me both that there’s no issue in our area and also that there is an issue . .

Lawrence ****** 🇺🇦 (@goonerlgh) reported from Islington, England@virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!
-
Marian Martin (@marianmartinart) reported from London, England@virginmedia It says there aren't any known issues but we have been struggling with it for the last few years - the service is just getting worse!
-
Melanie Hart (@MelanieHart72) reported from London, England@virginmedia You have put my bill up from £84 to £96 in one month and you are not providing a service I should have my full services 24/7 for that price and getting any compensation it like getting blood out of a stone !!! Disgusting service
-
Christine Allado (@ChristineAllado) reported from London, England.@virginmedia hi virgin, we've not had internet all day and absolutely need it for work. Can you give an update for why this is our network status?
-
Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported from Islington, England@Whiskey_Mick @virginmedia We’ve just had the same experience - waited 8 days. Not a word from them. Not a human spoken to. If I had another choice I’d drop them. 0/10 for customer service.
-
kikassPhotography(official) 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@KikassP) reported from London, EnglandI've just had to suffer the same 4 songs,1 a poor cover of 'Where my Rosemary goes', on a loop, in 2,45 mins of waiting for @virginmedia to pick up. Within 10 mins of engineer fixing fault, its playing up again. Its also the end of my contract so I want to deal with it.
-
Sam Batty (@sam_batty) reported from Islington, England@virginmedia We’ve been disconnected early. Been trying for nearly an hour on your live chat but no help provided at all. Still waiting.
-
Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from City of London, England@virginmedia Well I guess as it went down Wednesday afternoon and if all goes well back up tomorrow we will automatically qualify.
-
royal 🌈 (@elthampalacegay) reported from London, England@virginmedia I’m going to get disciplined in work as I don’t have internet connection. Who can my employer speak with to confirm this is a virgin issue??
-
Emma Churcher-Holt (@emmalouchu) reported from Camden Town, England@virginmedia No, I have TV service only and the live chat agent said I would get the compensation form.
-
Mr Lee Daniel (@MisterLeeDaniel) reported from London, EnglandPlease could @virginmedia on 0330 303 5309 stop calling me, then immediately hanging up. That’s rude. I’ve now blocked your number.

B M50 (@BM502s) reported@biggle1908 @C_Midd99 Rkid had the same issue with his Sky package & price, so switched to Virgin Media, now saving £70 a month with faster broadband. Couldn’t be happier with it.
-
Iestyn T Davies (@iestyntdavies) reportedFrankly @virginmedia we just want to ditch our contract with you as your service is so poor. Let’s get us to @skytv or @EE instead
-
John Bhoy Walton (@walton_bhoy) reported@virginmedia I have already did the checker its every week if its a problem in the area and not someone,s individual setup in the house why cant it be fixed?
-
(tez7n2) (@MickeyDN7) reported@SkySports @virginmedia your red button sports stream is ******* **** ...and you wonder why people are using IPTV !!!! Robbing bastards taking money off customers and giving a **** service back
-
whitebear 🔜 VeXpo '26 (@whitebearvt) reported@DigBipper188 @LiveFastSimp @miaaowing In the EU I get 30GB included, and there’s international minutes in my plan anyways. Just data that’s the issue outside the EU. Also O2 in my area was garbage last time I tried it, was on a virgin media contract so experienced both before and after the VMO2 merger. Then again, haven’t touched it since 2022.

Sonic (@MrSonicAdvance) reported@virginmedia What I found frustrating, was that if I trimmed features from my package, the monthly price would go up, and if I added additional features the monthly price would go down. Utterly perverse! The whole process left me frustrated and bemused. Lovely people on your team, though. 👍
