    @virginmedia Even this link isn't working. Takes me straight to auto bot/live chat messaging service and there is no one actually responding.

    Geoff Neale (@g_neale) reported from Camden Town, England

    @premierinn no Free WiFi or Ultimate WiFi at Premier Inn Euston. Twitter has lots of other complaints of the same issue nationally… why I am asked to speak to Virgin Media, how hard can it be? Forget Network does not force the page to reload, what else can I do?

    Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia As I have already told you-the service checker simply, and probably purposely, give us a fixed time of 4/5 hours after any time you look at it. In short virgin are just “moving goal posts“. Why are you unable to tell 100s of your subscribers what the problem is. Is it laziness?

    @virginmedia Stop calling me then hanging up. That’s rude.

    Richard Gendal Brown (@gendal) reported from City of London, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your help but this is a problem only Three can sort! Their new system works where it’s deployed. The problem is that they haven’t deployed it everywhere - eg Elizabeth Line.

    @virginmedia as you know PR is important to a company. If you want to look good on the public eye and social media. I think you should automatically credit all customers effected by service issues Friday and last night. Hopefully I going to be able to watch the final episode of

    @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.

    @virginmedia Looks like there are issues that need to be resolved hopefully by tomorrow.. Is this something that might be fixed sooner and am I able to seek compensation?

    Connor Dean (@donnorcean) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia Still cutting in and out as it has been for many weeks… no local area issues listed anywhere. Have been trying to get ahold of someone for weeks now but just keeps looping in the app, really frustrating

  • JeffSalmon
    Jeff Salmon (@JeffSalmon) reported from Camden Town, England

    Cont… @virginhelp @virginmedia What can be so difficult that a COMPETENT team of engineers can’t fix in these days. The fact is we believe that virgin are a team of incompetents and the time has come for us all to leave Virgin. You are a disgrace.

  • jfcolomer
    Juan Folgar Colomer (@jfcolomer) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia what's the reason for the intermittent broadband service in the Charlton #SE7 area? Any ETA when this will be solved?

  • islingtonlloyd
    Lloyd Child (@islingtonlloyd) reported from Islington, England

    Nope, not just me. Hurry up & fix it @virginmedia , I want to watch the game in UHD

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia I would not have used these terms as I didn’t know them however I presumed that all the necessary work would be done in the background. Why would I keep the landline with Virgin when I was VERY UNHAPPY with the service provided

  • marianmartinart
    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!

  • DerrickSWB
    Derrick Brown (@DerrickSWB) reported from Lower Clapton, England

    @virginmedia Can someone advise how I fix the Wi-Fi pod which isn’t working with my new router - I had to upgrade at extra cost to receive new kit as the lead time was shorter than getting a competitor in #ThisIsWrong

  • BBLn15
    Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia I presume so. I was quite clear I wanted to leave Virgin as I was not happy with the services provided even though they tried to keep me as a customer. I feel Virgin are making it as difficult as possible and I am paying for it

    @virginmedia what is the number for your complaints department? It seems impossible to actually terminate my contract with you. Am I in the Hotel California?

    @virginmedia You're not i get fobbed off all the time. I was talked around into taking out a new contract on the promise that VM would solve the issues or give us the right to leave without charges.. a year in and nothing good has come of it.. even the phone line is unusable.

    🚨 JUST IN: Ofcom fines Virgin Media a record £28m for deliberately mishandling millions of customer calls and preventing contract cancellations between 2022 and 2024 through tactics including call-dropping and unnecessary transfers.

    @virginmedia @BonesE78 Im also pleased that VM will be held to account finally our BB is terrible were about to report to the ombudsman as VM wont realease us from the contract without a Early disconnection fee yet even they say how bad it is .. go figure.

    Kelly Kilner (@KellyKilner) reported

    Good. This is the WORST telecoms company. I’m still reeling from the bad service i endured in Nov, Dec 2025. @virginmedia. I have said that I will write to Ofcom but tbh…I feel worn by them. There is a whole industry and profits based on BAD customer service.
