    @virginmedia I have an issue with my wifi signal being weak upstairs - until last 2 mths it was perfectly fine. However it’s impossible to speak with anyone - I don’t want the automated system or a broadband check as service is fine it’s just range. Unhappy customer

    When you have a smart house and your @virginmedia #Wifi goes down so nothing is working 😳 now the kids are moaning at no tablets, @PlayStation or @xboxuk there is only so many times I can reboot the hub...... #internetdown

  • acmtix

    @virginmedia It's been like this for a while. I cannot rely on the service at all.

  • SmileyJMH
    Joanna Hayes (@SmileyJMH) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia I have WiFi at the moment. . . The problem is intermittent, it doesn't seem to coincide with times of high demand necessarily. It's incredibly frustrating, especially when working remotely from home and losing signal cuts everything off.

  • NikkiPearman
    Nikki Pearman 💙 (@NikkiPearman) reported from Loughborough, England

    @virginmedia That’s my problem. I can’t get to speak to a person and your automated system doesn’t allow me to discuss the issue properly.

  • Ebike_holidays
    National Forest E-Bike Holidays (@Ebike_holidays) reported from Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England

    @virginmedia Everyone is very apologetic but that doesn’t help give a vulnerable old lady the peace of mind that her son is available at the other end of the phone, should something happen.

  • _teecarts

    virgin media is down in my area so looks like i can’t work👏🏼

    @virginmedia The loss of service registration doesn't even work!

  • aaronfarny_b
    B Farn (@aaronfarny_b) reported from Ilkeston, England

    Right @virginmedia is truly the worst internet - So I am looking to change providers as soon as possible - Not worried about TV packages etc as We are good with free view - can anybody recommend a ISP with a good monthly rate and none of the hidden fees etc?

  • dannychappo
    Danny Chaplin (@dannychappo) reported from Beeston, England

    @virginmedia service checker says your not in my area,but I know others who have your service and also diamond cable box right outside my house?

  • antbates1991
    Anthony Bates (@antbates1991) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    New tactics from Virgin Media, ring up to cancel, they say they can't find your account and then put the phone down. 🖕🖕

  • dawesje
    James Dawes (@dawesje) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    @virginmedia just like to say what a load of rubbish your service is! And I’m not even with you

  • sarjeantm01
    Michael Sarjeant (@sarjeantm01) reported from Burton upon Trent, England

    @virginmedia We have an engineer booked for Monday but I don't believe this is really acceptable with the amount of money we pay each month we should be able to expect a service which works, I understand there will be issues but over 3 hours later nothing?

  • activist84
    gerisays (@activist84) reported from Beeston, England

    When you’re on the phone to @virginmedia to sort a broadband issue get placed on “hold” while the customer advisor “speaks to a colleague” to be informed the offices are now closed! Absolutely appalling customer service!!! And still haven’t sorted the issue 🙄🙄🙄🙄

  • gaz_smith123

  • stephenm68
    Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported

    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

  • kellyokid
    Steve Kelly (@kellyokid) reported

    @MelJanie @virginmedia I was with Virgin for years but got treated like a piece of crap on their shoe with multiple issues so I’ve left! Customer service is non existent! They just don’t care!

  • Vocalandproudx
    Vocal and Proud (@Vocalandproudx) reported

    @virginmedia Shameful service. I’ve contacted you DAILY and STILL no resolution for my inconsistent internet connection. It’s been 6months now. DSAR request promised, still waiting. Enough is enough. Escalating to @Ofcom

  • f1blag
    F1blag (@f1blag) reported

    @MelJanie @virginmedia Virgin Media are up there for any worst customer service award! They took 3 weeks to restore our connection, promised us compensation (promises we were able to obtain a recording of), refused to pay that compensation and then fought us every step of the way. Dreadful.

  • nimohally
    Nim O'Hall (@nimohally) reported

    @virginmedia i’ve called your customer service twice, your mobile coverage is so bad that I’ve had it hang up on me twice and then your AI agent hung up on me, when I asked to get through to an actual person

  • HamsterSick

    @Johnty14 @virginmedia I can't stand virgin I will not be renewing that contract November **** that. I dont pay failure

  • jdonascimento
    Jenny Do Nascimento (@jdonascimento) reported

    I moved house on August 28th and Virgin Media has been unable to connect my internet service. It's terrible service; I've wasted hours talking to them with no results. @Virgin #England

  • Pekalton
    Pekalton (@Pekalton) reported

    @ConorPDunne I agree Connor. It’s time for a complete change of direction for RTÉ. I’ve lost interest in the LLS and RoT. I get RoT brings tourism to Kerry but it’s time for a change. RTÉ is still living in the times gone past. What exactly are we paying TV licence for? Virgin Media is as bad

  • JanetsEscapades
    Escape to the Garden (@JanetsEscapades) reported

    @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!
