Calzeh♛ (@Cxlzeh) reported from Cheltenham, EnglandDoubt I’ll be streaming today because of virgin media going down...
-
Ian Watson (@WattsChelt) reported from Cheltenham, England@virginmedia You asked me to keep you posted, I’ve had no response. It certainly appears to be a problem with the hub because the WiFi is not really performing well. I’ve got three TiVo boxes and a C6 + broadband and it seems no one cares. Quite poor.
-
Steve Barnes (@Barnsey02) reported from Quedgeley, England@virginmedia I love Walter Presents progs on C4 & recently watched 1st ep of Monster. Tried to find rest of episodes and All4 app. Appears I can’t with you and have to watch online. Is this another reason to never have this box?
-
Rob Gue #blacklivesmatter #silenceisnotanoption (@RobGueRAF) reported from Gloucestershire, England@virginmedia there appear to be broadband issues in my area (Gloucester, GL2). Internet speeds are very slow, for both wifi and ethernet connections. Please advise.
-
Jeff Stelling🎙 (@FoodAndFifa99) reported from Gloucestershire, England@Lucy_Hamson @virginmedia My whole WiFi has been shit recently x
-
Richard (@Gooner_Richard) reported from Gloucestershire, England@kel14bt @WestBromEL Glad you got it sorted. I used to work for Virgin Media as an engineer. For it to take as long as it has, it will have been a network fault, which is much harder to solve than at the end user’s property (which I did). They could definitely communicate this better to customers.
-
Karl Timmis (@karl_timmis) reported from Gloucestershire, England@virginmedia why is the only option to cancel my account, to phone up and spend more than an hour on hold without speaking to someone? It seems like you're making it difficult for someone to leave?
-
Dom the property finance chap (@DomSheahan) reported from Cheltenham, EnglandNever ever ever have @virginmedia internet. Constant drop off, nowhere near promised speeds. Rubbish @Ofcom

sarah 💙 (@swebb1979) reported from Gloucestershire, England@virginmedia after putting in a huge complaint I had an email this week confirming my first payment will be £51.00, I check my bank account this morning only to find you are taking £121.00 out of my account on Monday #gofigure #appaulingcompany #anothercomplaint
-
booksbythewoods (@booksbythewoods) reported from Cheltenham, England@virginmedia It says there's an issue with TV but broadband is fine, but our issue is with our broadband. I've rebooted the rooter again and no change
-
Chris B (@Chopperb) reported from Stroud, EnglandOooo so virgin sport has been acquired Seems to be the strategy of virgin. Virgin media might well be next but the airline will never be sold
-
Ray (@RayWebpro04) reported from Gloucestershire, England@virginmedia awful customer service for Virgin Mobile account holders, only online messaging and no one to talk too. And they don’t read the text, just keep palming you off!
-
Dave.C 🏴☠️#FBPE #Rejoin (@Davinci9999C) reported from Cheltenham, England@virginmedia More.. every time.she.calls she has to explain it over and over. No one seems capable of recording the issue and passing it to someone who can sort it out. It is stopping her access her social media as the email if linked. Cannot see incoming Bill's etc.

Graham Fletcher (@1grahamfletcher) reported from Cheltenham, England@Keithsimon1973 @virginmedia I would Keith, but they want to do it over their text service
-
K (@serebro333) reported from Gloucestershire, England@virginmedia hey, quick question, is your latest hub any better i.e. offers better strength/coverage than @SkyHelpTeam hub? I ask as we have two @ring doorbells some distance from the current hub and connections are awful. Contract almost up and it’s decision time 🤔. Thx
-
Hammerdan (@Hammerdan13) reported from Cheltenham, England@virginmedia I am trying to cancel my contract, but you have sent me down a conversation with a computer. You are now in breach of our contract as you have failed to cancel it or listen to me upon my request. Your customer service is embarrassing!!
-
Paul (@paulhewlett1983) reported from Gloucestershire, England@virginmedia I received it about a week about in the post, you tell me? Surely you must know as it’s been released. The box is prompting me to upgrade as instructed on the Home Screen of the menu! But it does not work. Any help at this point is greatly appreciated
-
The Michael Hunt (@MichaelAlanHunt) reported from Gloucestershire, England@virginmedia your connection's up and down today more often than a *****'s drawers! Bloody fix it!

chris floyd (@mrchrisfloyd) reported@Ofcom @virginmedia love this!!! They’ve been at this for years!! Hanging up on customers! I hope it affects their staff now. Because ultimately it’s the company that gets fined for this, not the rude, stuck up staff they’ve got working for the company
-
Aidan Costello (@aidan_codtello) reported@entrustTMF @virginmedia Good reminder for me to chase them up about my poor broadband WiFi in the house and to renew contract or move.
-
Jonathan Kirk (@doubledutch13) reported@virginmedia having been treated disgracefully just after my wife died I’m delight you are 28 000 000 lighter in the pocket. You were truly awful and I’ll never ever use you again. Ever. #youdeserveit #laughingnow
-
Groupthink Blogs (@GroupthinkBlogs) reported@simonlevans @virginmedia They even admitted they did so. I remember trying to cancel my mum's contract 10 years ago, took me 2 hours. Most people would have given up.
-
entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported@aidan_codtello @virginmedia Good luck! When the service works at @virginmedia it's great-but when there's a problem you're pretty much on your own with a fanciful bunch of stories until you can finally get an engineer to pitch up. I always think that how they handle a problem is the measure of a company...
-
Minute Market (@Minutemarketio) reportedVirgin Media Gets Fined 🫰 Virgin Media was hit with a £28 million, or roughly $37 million, fine by UK regulator Ofcom for repeatedly making it harder for customers to cancel contracts between 2022 and 2024. That is not just a consumer-rights story. It is a warning for telecom and subscription businesses that “retention tricks” can become regulatory liabilities. In a market obsessed with recurring revenue, cancellation friction is now a legal risk.
-
Waqar (@Waqar83971366) reported@Ofcom Regardless of the fines they've still not improved with broadband, customer service and their prices are always high yet can't provide good service and quality of signals and equipment.. they need a full upgrade in equipment, signal quality and customer service @virginmedia
-
Ian McNee (@IanSMcNee) reportedI ditched @VirginMedia years ago over terrible customer service - this is the same as water companies: a semi-monopoly owned by US finance: asset stripping profiteers. Switched to local independent Andrews & Arnold - @AAISP. Top service, real people on the phone who fix problems.
