  Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported 3 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec

  John (@jfrncs_) reported 12 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

• 
  Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported 16 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  @virginmedia Just to let you know, I've taken the time to write out another complaint via the link. I've submitted and it says 'nothing to see here'. The link says response within 7 days, and the submission says 28 days, and then my portal says I haven't raised a complaint. ANOTHER FAIL

  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 17 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

• 
  Kev Maslin (@kevmaslin) reported 19 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  @virginmedia The ideal resolution would have been for VM to return the document as originally promised. We have dealt with other companies in this regard and all have been prompt and professional. Even the DWP accepted a photocopy of the POA. Why VM couldn't is entirely beyond me.

  Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported 22 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 33 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps a month for @virginmedia for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area??

• 
  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 40 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

  @virginmedia how do you check the mobile phone signal in your area? I’ve had nine for a few days

• 
  Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported 48 minutes ago from Kidderminster, England

  @virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!

• 
  Ashley Day (@AshleyDay1971) reported 48 minutes ago from Woodside, England

  @virginmedia Internet down again, 3rd day I'm a row. Can't even check status on your website as its not loading properly. When will it be fixed?

  Troy (@tr0y1291) reported 58 minutes ago from West Bromwich, England

  @virginmedia the most unreliable service going! Sky should be rubbing their hands together knowing that this shower of **** is their main competition.

• 
  Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported 6 minutes ago

  @alan_reddish @virginmedia Day 34 here. And no proper answers such as whether any engineers have actually been out to try to fix things. Just stock answers from the @virginmedia script.

• 
  Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported 7 minutes ago

  @MikeScheider_ Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.

• 
  Marina Robb (@MarinaRobb) reported 9 minutes ago

  @MelJanie @virginmedia Tellingly, the engineer who eventually came out (I'd already cancelled the service) said they still had to fit the back up line as they'd been fined £28 million by the regulator. Appalling customer service though.

• 
  Paddy Sweeney (@PaddySw99745534) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @_JIMBO55 What do I do with your faulty equipment. I will soon be cancelling your awful service and requesting a refund for the period without service. Should I involve my barrister or will you sort this out.

• 
  Chris Wiper (@chris_wiper) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @Bigdeano88 Hi @virginmedia I am experiencing the same issue?

• 
  Matty 🇬🇧🇪🇺♿ (@Wizardman37) reported 11 minutes ago

  @LPXIOP Virgin media customer here, had the same, got a letter they disconnecting the telephone line their end and told us to connect the landline phone to the internet modem with different cable. It worked first time. Copper lines being phased out in favour of VoIP.

• 
  Escape to the Garden (@JanetsEscapades) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have recently closed by Broadband account. I returned your equipment on 25th August 2026. I have an in-post receipt. However, your email is no reply & there is no contact phone number for customer service? I am now getting further emails about returning this!

• 
  Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported 14 minutes ago

  Day 35 of absolutely no services from @virginmedia and no useful information about when/if the outage in our area will ever get fixed. Let’s hope that @guardian Consumer Champions will look into this - I’ve just written to them. @Ofcom
