  • YoungJambo
    Jamie Will (@YoungJambo) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia The call was this morning btw. If only she was the only rude and unhelpful member of your customer service team, but no... Apart from maybe 2 of the 10 people I have spoken to this week, everyone else had the same attitude. Very unprofessional. Go read my 4 complaints.

    Deemers (@DeemersPaul) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia It was listed as extra charges, but not specificity what they relate to. When I called to cancel, I was told my final amount & these weren’t mentioned. I only want to know what they are, why is it so difficult to find out

    @virginmedia @ceasuri_rele This is happening too often now. After the recent outage debacle this is simply not acceptable. Please confirm that all customers in the affected areas will be receiving financial compensation.

    @bt_uk Absolutely love that virgin media has been out and clearly not fixed a problem but instead ruined our internet connection this morning! Thanks very much!!

    Just had to put a 2nd call into @virginmedia this afternoon to sort out the problem they caused from this mornings call to them, which was to attempt to sort out issues from a previous call to them 🤬 New TV aerial installed next week and once @CityFibre are running, VM are gone!

    @ITV is it my @virginmedia signal (SD and HD) or are you having issues with the feed from Twickenham #ENGvIRE #6Nations no other channels affected.

    2 hours listening to repeated **** music waiting to get through to @virginmedia and still no joy and no internet!!!!!

  • Philip_AnthonyB
    Philly B (@Philip_AnthonyB) reported from Poole, England

    @notorious_twub I was with @virginmedia for several years, no end of problems. And their customer service is shocking. I moved to @VodafoneUK for broadband and they have been fantastic. I won’t go back to VM.

  • DavidRice22
    David Rice (@DavidRice22) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia Whether broadband is a utility or not is a point of view. From my perspective, it’s a utility. I accept no supplier can guarantee service. VM may be just be on an unlucky streak. Your service is presently not something I trust - based on current experience.

  • TaiDragon
    TaiDragon #LockdownHairyBeast (@TaiDragon) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia It looks like the virgin services are not synced. The phone app says there are problems, you click on service and it says there are no issues, you call the service line and it tells you No issues, (it hangs up on you - bad CE) then you speak to someone and there is an issue...

  • Adywakey
    Adrian (@Adywakey) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia any chance of getting the broadband back on in BH17 area. Been down for an hour. Bad drills.

    George Gordon (@_George_Gordon_) reported from Poole, England

    @virginmedia on the phone to you for 45 minutes and the issue didn’t get resolved so your staff hung up 🤬 terrible customer service!!

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TheGriftReport
    Grifty (@TheGriftReport) reported

    Millions of mobile phone users face data rationing and price hikes after Rachel Reeves excluded telecoms firms from a major energy discount scheme. Chancellor Reeves left VodafoneThree, Virgin Media O2 and EE out of the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme which gives a 25% cut on electricity bills to thousands of other businesses. Telecoms firms are now facing full 33% energy price rises triggered by the Iran war and are drawing up emergency plans including slowing speeds, restricting data during peak times and charging premiums for heavy usage. One network warned up to 9,000 jobs could be at risk and 5G rollout plans shelved. VodafoneThree said it is “disappointed” and urged the Government to protect the critical digital networks the country depends on. Virgin Media O2 added that if the Government wants growth it cannot overlook the networks Britain relies on.

  • Bigg_F_
    BigF (@Bigg_F_) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. Eventually got through via chat to a real person. They advised a factory reset of hub which is a complete pain to set back up and it made no difference. Engineer arranged to come today. I also raised a formal complaint. Mysteriously it’s working two hours later.

    @virginmedia You bill me for a paper bill £1.75 raised the issue feb 25th 2025 to which you promised a credit of £10 this never happened and have then continued to bill me on paper bill at £1.75 for 14 months, all chat logs have been kept, then tried to offer me £15 credit in total

    @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV What part of your complaint has been logged & someone will contact you within 24 hours am I not understanding? Getting close to 72 hours now. You really are the lowest of lows for Customer Service. I guess everyone in The Philippines is asleep now!!!

  • 1836golftour

    @virginmedia GO **** yourselves Virgin Media. Roll on July 27th 2026 when I will be free from you ******* unsympathetic CNUTS. I never thought in a million years that I would go back to SKY or a firestick but you have made that decision so much easier. Good ******* riddance.

    @Andysbrett @virginmedia One of the worst customer service departments out there!

    @virginmedia your services including your chat and your agents are hopeless. Please can I have an email address for a formal complaint about repeated loss of service

  • Martinayres65o1
    Martinayres65@outloo (@Martinayres65o1) reported

    @virginmedia it’s now been an hour since the promised call from you. Given we have been without broadband & TV since Friday I would have thought you would make it a priority. Seems Virgin doesn’t care about its customers. Happy to take money whilst delivering no service
