Rosemary Jane Fox (@RosemaryJaneFo1) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia #rude #badservice Had Virgin broadband installed just to discover a better deal on money supermarket. Contacted them to ask if they would honour it and was refused point blank, told not to complain, wouldn’t put me through to the boss and wouldn’t give her name.
-
Pilar Gómez (@_dreamer_) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia Actually, the new owners are porting their virgin contract here, if the contract is per property, and it will be Virgin providing the service, that would mean we DON'T have to pay the fee right?
-
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
-
Matthew Turner (@MTurnerNFL) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia The only issue I have with that is that every time I contact that number, the following happens: 1) I explain the issue, again 2) they advise me to follow the steps as are online, again, that I've already done, even though I say I've done them 3) they ask me to monitor 1/2
-
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

Tony Cox (@coxtonycox) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia stop emailing and texting me every day threatening to fine me £100 for the non return of your equipment. On 23 August I booked for one of your engineers to collect it on 13 September. This poor customer service is one of the reasons I left Virgin after 10+ years.

Rajnish Razdan (@RajnishRazdan) reported from Bristol, England@virginmedia it’s amazing isn’t it - you never pick up calls or cut me off so I go to your site to change my package as you’re charging me for things I don’t have and amazingly your live chat button doesn’t work either.
-

Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reportedHi @virginmedia This latest update appears to directly contradict the update you sent me earlier today. At 12:57, I was told that an engineer **was already on site and working to fix the problem**, with an estimated repair time of **18:00 today, 19/08/2026**. At 15:24, I am now being told that you have identified the problem and that an engineer **is on their way**, with the estimated repair time moved to **14:10 on 21/08/2026**. This is the original date that was stated 2 weeks ago. Could you please provide an accurate explanation of what is actually happening with fault **F012421201**? In particular: * Was an engineer on site earlier today, as stated? * If so, why is an engineer now apparently only “on their way”? * What has happened to cause the estimated repair time to move from this evening to Friday afternoon? * Is 21/08/2026 at 14:10 now a reliable estimate, or is this simply an automated placeholder? I appreciate that faults can take longer than expected to repair. What is frustrating is receiving contradictory information that makes it impossible to understand the actual status of the fault. Please provide a clear and factual update rather than another automated status message.

doozerlyn (@doozerlyn) reported@YouMadBruv3r @virginmedia Check on their service checker page.... Mine says will be sorted at 1008 hours on 28th August... Very specific... I bet yours will be the same.... @virginmedia lying to everyone, refunding no one....
-
Andy Anderson 🇬🇧 Defund the BBC! ♋️ (@shelf_life64) reported@virginmedia @TheAFC0522 Two weeks to fix this is wholly unacceptable…. I’m starting to suspect you’re having another spat with Sky or your engineers are all on holiday!! As you are well aware casting is not available from the Sky Sports app… A bill credit to all affected would be welcome for this!
-
Jane Bissell (@BissellJane1) reported@virginmedia another day without any internet and impossible to get a refund I had 2 days last month without service but all your staff are interested in is trying to sell products I don’t want I’ve reduced all products due to cost of living but I’m still getting calls every day
-
🇬🇧 Andy🇬🇧 (@4peterborough) reported@virginmedia What’s the point? Everyone is suffering the same problem. I’m sure if you check on social media you see people do not like this function
-
Ian Abbott (@IJTrueBlue) reportedHow do I make a complaint about your doorstep cold callers @virginmedia
-
Emily Ford (@T0350X) reported@virginmedia why is it so hard to cancel an account?!? I’m moving house and out of contract, you don’t service the new area. You have been changing me stupid money for internet for months and when I ring to cancel the account I get moved between multiple people!
-
Amanda Lee (@amandajlee_lee) reported@virginmedia @YouMadBruv3r How long does it take @virginmedia ??? Mines been down for weeks, right at the start of the season. Just done the service status check that you recommended for a fix date and it doesn't work 🤬🤬
-
Andy (@sadelta99) reported@virginmedia well done - you fix the issue then it’s broken again so back to no services again and of course your lines are closed so no way of calling
-
Sana (@LadySs) reported@virginmedia service team have been truly abysmal in dealing with the situation involving a 91-year old lady who was out of contract. She was repeatedly told to check your emails unacceptable given her age and circumstances.The lack of compassion and understanding shown is bad
