-
NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England@virginmedia You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it? Spoke 18 months ago about signal. Was told it would be looked at if I agreed to renew. Once renewed was told WiFi is not guaranteed so tough.
-

Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now.

Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandHello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.
-
Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.

-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

-
Diplo (@loldiplo) reported@virginmedia Do you not think the first thing I checked was your website for checked outages and all you tell me to do is book an engineer which you then tell me I have too wait another 2 days to get one??? So that’s 3 days of service you’re not providing of which I pay for.
-
Amy Heppingstall (@AmyHeppi) reported@virginmedia absolutely terrible wifi this afternoon this is not the service I’m paying for !!! Really fed up of this
-
toastyborg (@Demon__Cyborg) reported@virginmedia absolutely sucks. They won’t even help me unlock my email and I’ve apparently been blacklisted for not doing anything???

Lady linda jane The Extremist (@Pollo1Lindajane) reported@christobinsings @virginmedia 3 hours later no refund cant find someone to cancel absolute joke of a company @virginmedia
-
Diplo (@loldiplo) reported. @virginmedia can you explain why your servers are down again. It’s pathetic constantly happening and conveniently falls on a bank holiday weekend so most of your customers will be without service for 2 days. Disgrace of a company.

Simply Norwegian (@simplynorwegian) reported@virginmedia I need some help resolving an unauthorised account creation, outstanding unlawful charges and failure to resolve despite numerous calls and written correspondence dating back to October 2025. What number can I call to speak to someone with authority to end this??
