-
AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia I'm disappointed with the service I have received. Finally ended my contract, claimed my credit refund only for it still not arrive 6weeks later. Called call centre & was told I'd have to wait 2/3 more weeks. Why? Its unacceptable to have to wait so long. #complaint
-
DavidJWood (@RedWoodyLFC) reported from Bristol, England@SteTinsley @virginmedia Mind you its been up and down like a ****** draws all day Got very little work done
-
Beth Ryan (@bethkorf) reported from Kingswood, England@virginmedia Its done now but fairly sure it shouldn't take your agents 45 mins to cancel sky and bt sports and change the TV package to the basic. Maybe more training or better systems are needed. Just saying Sky took about 3 minutes to cancel BT sports for me a year or so ago #competitors
-
Beth Ryan (@bethkorf) reported from Kingswood, EnglandWow @virginmedia you've out done yourself, 45 mins and counting to cancel sports channels for mum after dad passing away all with an agent #shockingservice
-
emmainbristol (@emmainglasgow) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia what's the deal, my box hasn't worked for 2 days??? This is the 3rd technical problem lasting more than 2 days that I've had this year. This is ridiculous now
-
Acuharmony-UK (@AcuharmonyUK) reported from Clevedon, England@virginmedia No reported issues. Tried the fixes before, and so did virgin chat. Not just my handset, other people are having the same problem. Am I going to have to change networks, is that what you're saying? Due to the change to O2?
-
Amz (@amy_noony) reported from Bristol, EnglandVirgin media make me 🤬 Been with them for 6yrs (no other option in our flats), paid their extortionate prices & received pretty poor intermittent service. Moving house & they don’t supply our new area 🥳 but they would like to charge a cancellation fee of £30.38
-
Al (@algro10) reported from Clevedon, England@10sam_h Yeah likewise, virgin media awful still not sorted it
-
Matt (@LetRIP) reported from Thornbury, England@virginmedia No. Your chat representative cut me off. Have wasted over an hour already. You must be joking if you think I’m going to waste more time on your awful service
-
Neil Cairns (@neilcairns) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia where can I email to complain? My VirginMedia Box won’t let me delete a number of things and my Internet is patchy at best! £83 a month for this ****? Every time you call you people you’re on hold or cut off!
-
Steve Parsons (@steveparsnips) reported from Stoke Gifford, England@virginmedia I have spent 7hrs40mins today in a WhatsApp chat with your customer services trying to terminate my broadband and still haven't finalised it. I will be cancelling my DD as I am paid up until May 4th and your hub will be available for you to collect if you wish
-
Derby Pascal (@derbypascal) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia I'm not sure what you mean, I literally have no signal or mobile data, hundreds of people are in the same position. And others with EE and Three are also down in this area but no one knows why...
-
Gill Harrison (@gillih) reported from Portishead and North Weston, England@virginmedia I have got this sorted with your team now. Helpful person. But I suggest changing your auto system to give callers an idea of wait time. Better customer service.
-
Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England@henningmc_ @virginmedia Nightmare! At least I have a paperback to help me get to sleep!
-
J Stan (@Superstan_92) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia Multiple problems when moving home. Now we have been told we won't have anything installed until 31st December when we moved in on 29th November.
-
AngelMelSelector (@AngelMel2017) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia Hello, following on from my tweet regarding complaint of not receiving my credit refund. I have not heard back from the complaints team. What's the best way to proceed? Thanks
-
Tina Badley (@tinabadley) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia Same as about a month ago. Said I need to enter password. But doesn't work. Have tried resetting password. Still no good. Webmail says can't access my emails right now. And when I go to the sign in page it has my name as 'Jackie' top right though the main page says 'Hi Tina'.
-
KB (@kadenbatt) reported from Warmley, England@virginmedia I did all that. I waited for thr led to go out. Then went and plugged it in and went green the flashed blue again. 24 hours to connect? It's been working for ages then after the outage yesterday all of a sudden its gone
-
Toby Osborne (@TobyOsborne1) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia As early as possible before whoever does this manages to help themselves to my money like last time

Mitch W 71 (@Mitch_1142) reported@1Atkins @ThatsTVOfficial xenon81Message posted on30 Jul 2026 03:21 PM - last edited: 30 Jul 2026 03:22 PM That's TV has gradually removed all its channels from Sky, Freesat and Virgin Media over the last few months. It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.

Cmdr Anaander Miaani (@philbigdog) reported@virginmedia my neighbour has Gigabit fibre with you, their house is 20 feet from mine yet you claim I cannot be connected to the network. Please contact me on how I can fix this ludicrous error.
-

-
⭐️Jackie⭐️ (@Jakki_113) reportedIs Virgin broadband down in WD3 area please @virginmedia
-
Sammo (@redmollster) reported@virginmedia how do we get a new HBO activation email? We have TNT sports but don't appear to have the invitation email. All the online help simply sends us round in circles and trying to get through on the phone takes ages. Surely this should be quick and simple?
-
Sharon Grimes (@sharongrimes1) reported@virginmedia I’m not a customer of your co but sub contractors for your co rudely knocked on my door this morning to move my car. Should I not been notified of works carried out. What if I was not in, and there was damage to my car?
-
T D (@TD2485104094239) reported@virginmedia I'm quite amazed. I was trying to join Virgin Media, but met a service so bad, so unhelpful, that I cancelled before I even managed to get anything installed. Impressive! It's a first for me to be honest. Never again.
-
GW 🔰🏴 (@GW_Mktg) reported@Girlw0ndr Yep steer clear of @virginmedia. Their broadband is down as we speak!
-
Filer (@FilerPlays) reported@MachineGunLuk3y @virginmedia Majority’s of the ISP’s in my area run off the BT network so I’ve got fibre to the property with about 1GB down. I’ve had Virgin before and didn’t rate it, had issues similar to yourself as well mate.
-
Mr. Cold (@Javier_Cold_) reported@Ofcom @virginmedia sucks. 2 hours going in circles to cancel my package. They get away with it by exhausting you, going around and around, stalling the conversation until you say yes.
