dan@randrhotrodimports (@Dan_lutonbear) reported from Luton, England@virginmedia do you actually have humans employed at your call centres ? After spending a total of 6 hours going from one recorded message to a automated line I have given up. I have absolutely had enough of your lack of customer service poor service poor quality broadband

dan@randrhotrodimports (@Dan_lutonbear) reported from Luton, England@virginmedia 1st issue not being able to change address from 1 property to my new address (new build). 2nd issue trying to speak to someone to cancel our account.
-
Matt Adcock (@Cleric20) reported from Hitchin, England@virginmedia I’ve been a customer for almost 27 yrs with you guys - was being offered an upgrade to broadband…
-
Jake Kirby (@848Jake) reported from Toddington, England@virginmedia The issue has been random and, with typical timing, I can’t find it right now so I guess you can’t help.
-
Lisa 😺🛍⚽️💃💅✌🥦🥕🌽 (@LisaYidetteWHL) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England@virginmedia Hub which they said will take 3 days!! 🙄🙈😡 I have had a catalogue of issues with Virgin over the years. I expect some recompense & I don't mean the '£8 after 48 hours has passed' insult I was told today. Been with Virgin since you took over NTL. Where's the customer loyalty?
-
🦄 UnicornFarts641🦄 (@LegitBoss69) reported from Luton, England@virginmedia Doesn't help me now does it when I've borrowed the money to get my services on and STILL I can't even get through on WhatsApp? (Can't call due throat and voice issues at the moment)
-
Lisa 😺🛍⚽️💃💅✌🥦🥕🌽 (@LisaYidetteWHL) reported from Hemel Hempstead, EnglandMore **** with @Virginmedia - Paying well over £100 a month and now can't get any internet connection and cannot work from home! So I will not be paid. After hanging on for an eternity they say 3 days till a new hub can be sent out! Disgrace. That won't pay my bills 😡😡😡
-
I Make Stuff Up On Tw*tter (@sjdhatters) reported from Stoke Mandeville, England@virginmedia I refer back to my original tweet. Zero attempt to resolve my issue. Just can't do it. Your solution is not acceptable to me or new owner. Can you please provide details on how to escalate this to a complaint? What if I cancel DD and then set up new DD with new owner details?
-
JAS 🇮🇳 🇬🇧 (@jas9029) reported from St Albans, England@virginmedia Hey AL13DQ is down, any updates on this please? your service status page shows no problem what so ever!
-
Enrique Guadiz (@EnriqueGuadiz) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England@virginmedia Router WiFi connection is so unstable people are about to throw them out their windows!! Might be worth moving to @VodafoneUK to get a better price and service? #VirginMedia has been truly awful recently
-
SteveG@ERS (@ERS_SteveG) reported from Toddington, England@skytv very poor service when switching to your service. Currently left without broadband for 2 weeks due to a BT Engineer not being able to go up a ladder to fit a cable! Regret leaving @virginmedia
-
tim (@Claydon8Tim) reported from Hitchin, England@virginmedia Sorry. That’s it. Sorry. Yes I’ve checked and the WiFi is now working. I also checked and I’ll still be billed the full amount for a 2nd rate service that doesn’t in anyway match your glitzy empty advertising campaigns.
-
Lisa Kathryn (@LisaKathryn5) reported from St Albans, England@virginmedia what is happening in AL3? Now saying 9am tomorrow before broadband repaired, this is almost a day of lost working time. Service is so bad, what is being done to make it more reliable?
-
Lisa 😺🛍⚽️💃💅✌🥦🥕🌽 (@LisaYidetteWHL) reported from Hemel Hempstead, EnglandAnyone else in Hemel Hempstead having issues with sodding #Virginmedia internet? As in its beyond crap? Mine has gone down again and I now cannot work! Fuming 😡😡 And they tell me 3 days to get someone out!
-
Nicholas Jemetta (@nicholasjemetta) reported from Hitchin, England@virginmedia I’m trying to help my mother-in-law who’s a registered cater, with her broadband. Her wi-fi signal is very patchy and it’s causing her problems (plus unnecessary extra stress). She has a Hub 3; can she get a Hub 4 without upgrading to Gig 1?
-
Enrique Guadiz (@EnriqueGuadiz) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England@virginmedia WiFi is an absolute total **** of a service! Reliable WiFi With the hub 5 bullshit! Should be thrown out of the window! No WiFi /service in HP2!

Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
NewsTongue (@NewsTongueX) reported🔴 Ofcom fines Virgin Media £28m for blocking customer cancellations Virgin Media breached UK telecoms rules by deliberately dropping calls, transferring customers unnecessarily, and placing them on hold to prevent contract cancellations between January 2022 and September 2024. Ofcom received nearly 2,000 complaints and found the company's retention agents operated under a commission scheme that financially rewarded obstruction. • Fine of £28m — Ofcom's largest ever under consumer protection rules, reduced 30% after Virgin Media admitted fault and agreed to settle • Millions of calls "likely mishandled" during the three-year period
-
Stacy Mitchell (@StacyMitchell2) reported@virginmedia what’s with your broadband in South Bristol. It’s been slow as hell for a week and off completely for 2 days now. As soon as this contract’s up I’m going to sky
-
Kelly Kilner (@KellyKilner) reportedGood. 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.
-
X Odus to Bluesky. (@PaulWatters2) reported@virginmedia are an absolute ******* awful company to try a deal with. Not a ******* clue about customer service. It's all about keeping you in contract. Bring back Telewest.
-
Andy Rossiter (@andy_rossiter76) reported@virginmedia VM: We’re switching you to VOIP phone Me: oh great now more stuff to go wrong In last 3 weeks the internet has gone down 4 or 5 times for 10 - 20 minutes, how can I check the status when all you do is point to a website 🤔🙈
-
Ailsa (@Ailsa56202286) reported(Part 2/4)It absolutely wasn't. As five medical students finishing university and being dispersed across the country, there was no practical way to continue using Virgin Media. We called to cancel... and were hit with a £450 early termination charge. We simply couldn't afford it
-
Ibam (@imzyii) reported@virginmedia I dont want to DM just listen and sort your phone line options out to make it easier for us customer to get through to the relevant teams without having to speak to a stupid voice recognition system
-
Christian Smith (@SmithChristian4) reported@lukerobins @virginmedia I can stomach the £2 difference in offering, not sure if it’s area based, but a £14 offer for an existing customer when a new one gets it much cheaper is where I draw the line. Virgin I DM’d you as requested and you’re yet to come back to me….
-
Big Kev (@BengalsKevUK) reported@BEAMSEDU @virginmedia Have the same issue
-
