CJ (@ZJM_331) reported from Islington, England@virginmedia your service checker isn’t working. Can you please advise of service issues in the N1 area as the broadband has gone down again? Thank you.
-
Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported from London, England@ameehan71 @virginmedia All new and reconnected. 200mb then next day nothing, comes on for a day then drops to 10mb. Talk to customer service and they don't have a clue. They also want over £400 for me to leave. Worst service I've ever known
-

Helen Reihill (@BBLn15) reported from Hackney, England@virginmedia 14 hour wait for a response on your chat bot and I still haven’t passed security. That’s some service
-
Jacob Smith (@JacobWSmith10) reported from Camden, England@virginmedia @skytv can you please sort out the sky sports app. I cannot login in using my virgin media account. It will not load the password page. I don’t really see why it logs me out periodically in the first place.

-
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
-
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?
-

-
Luther Blissett (@LutherB40510976) reported from London, England@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?
-
Steven Peterson 🏳️🌈 (@squeakytoy) reported from Islington, EnglandI called @virginmedia back and they are now saying they won’t be able to install my internet until February 15th, a month after they sent me the modem. They’ve already activated my account and are charging me, but are telling me that shouldn’t have happened and they can’t fix it.
-

-
Tomasz Rykała (@tomaszrykala) reported from London, EnglandWow @virginmedia is having a complete meltdown in my area and their automated service is telling me that this "short" interruption to my internet services should be resolved at 10 am tomorrow. That's 14 hours from now! What if my work depended on it?
-
Sam Batty (@sam_batty) reported from Islington, England@virginmedia Just spend over an hour on live chat/phone. Your service means we’ll be nearly two weeks without internet!
-
Christine Allado (@ChristineAllado) reported from London, England@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?
-

David Brierley 🍺 🏌️♂️ (@davidlbrierley) reported@virginmedia I have to switch the subtitles on again if I change the channel ? These are the main concerns regarding the 'upgrade' which unfortunately I am stuck with Surely if you have the technology to upgrade you will have the technology to achieve a down grade
-
Alexis “Cozy Bear” Lockhart (@AlexisAdamsTTV) reportedMy internet is down again. My modem is making buzzing noises @VirginMediaIE @virginmedia. So sorry, guys. I’ll be away from Twitter and YouTube for a while 🥺🥺🥺
-
Tre (@Liafreytre) reported@AndrewW12290183 @virginmedia They never send them. Still have old crap of theirs from years ago.
-
Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported@virginmedia @CriticalRole @LessThanJake I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!
-
Sam Reynolds (@samr_1986) reported@virginmedia I joined in Dec 2025 at £23.99 a month and my broadband price has already increased in April 2026 after only a few months. I’m really disappointed with how quickly the advertised price changed. Can someone review my account and help with a better deal please?
-
Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported@virginmedia we’ve had complete loss of internet since 2/5/26 due to broken cable, yet no proper fix or technician visit despite repeated promises. Instead, you sent someone to “clean router” & logged it as speed issue not total outage. It is unacceptable. Plz resolve urgently
-
Ben C (@BenChubb4) reportedHey @virginmedia still 2hrs and 20 mins remaining to call me like you said you would to update/fix the fact that I’ve had no email access on any device for 11 days. Only 2 days over your last SLA. P.s. Thanks m not available to speak to Saturday, Sunday Monday
-
david hesketh (@davaecho) reported@virginmedia after 20 years have just cancelled my contract awful customer service your company will be on its knees if this continues
-
Jamie Summers (@JimSummersNews) reportedHi @virginmedia, cables belonging to VM have been detached and hanging dangerously from my building for several weeks. I’ve been told on four occasions an engineer will come to fix, and nothing has happened. Can you help please?
-
Nicola Golding (@NicolaG01) reportedDay 3 of no internet and almost zero communication from @virginmedia. Got a text on Friday saying issue fixed (clearly not) and nothing since. Went on the service tracker to sign up for updates. Still nothing.
