    @virginmedia I have no internet. And your ‘help’ line says you’re closed due to Covid. So how do I resolve my issues??

  • tartan1314
    Fiona Collie (@tartan1314) reported from Bonnybridge, Scotland

    @virginmedia On nearly 20 minutes of being on hold. I can upgrade online but not remove channels, yet other providers are letting customers switch off and on channels each month. Virgin media completely lagging behind the curve. Not to mention a loss of service last week for whole area. Poor

    @virginmedia your customer service is shocking! A sure way to loose customers 🤬🤬🤬

    @virginmedia Yeah but then I realised you can't use a 192.168.1.x network with the hub either 🙃 so sadly into modem mode it goes.

    @virginmedia Currently at 374Mbps on wireless, so not the worst it's been. 943Mbps on wired.

    @virginmedia @hartey11 You need an internet signal to chat over webcam. But your tv and broadband are still down.

  • StephenMcAtDell

    @virginmedia Hi team. Can anyone help with this please? Is there a number I can call to speak to someone?

  • steve2theizzO
    Steve (@steve2theizzO) reported from Falkirk, Scotland

    What is the best way to speak to someone at @virginmedia as I've spent close to 2 hours this week trying to get through. Appreciate the issues due to covid but I urgently need to speak to someone since my bill has suddenly increased and I have no way to sort this atm

  • StevieBev

    @virginmedia Hi team. I’ve been trying to order a WiFi booster after one was supposed to have been sent weeks ago and hasn’t arrived. I’ve tried phoning and going via your Connect App, with no success. Can you help please? Thanks

  • _HannahMcInnes_
    Hannah McInnes (@_HannahMcInnes_) reported from Livingston, Scotland

    @virginmedia has they worst customer service I’ve ever experienced, month after month I’ve been trying to sort out my bills with no help whatsoever 80 minutes and I’m still on the phone no further forward as one person says one thing and another person says another😡😡

    @virginmedia hi is there a problem with Netflix? I can't access it.

  • JillScorer1
    Jill Scorer (@JillScorer1) reported from Dalgety Bay, Scotland

    @lornagilmour_ @virginmedia @SkyUK How to make a complaint via phone. Call us on 150 from your Virgin Media landline or Virgin Mobile. Or 0345 454 1111* from any other phone. WONDER IF THIS WOULD WORK?

  • DarrellB91
    Darrell Anne Atkins (@DarrellB91) reported from Livingston, Scotland

    Trying to deal with @virginmedia on behalf of my Gran is one of the most frustrating things. All we want to do is downgrade her package and I've been passed to so many different people. I bet they would keep you on the phone if you wanted to cancel!

    @VeltisLeEvil @Thatisdiffi You wait, I guess. But with Virgin Media, my internet very rarely goes down, and if it does, I can just go outside and do something else, like go watch some movies. It's never usually out for more than 3 hours

  • raydwatts
    Raymond Watts (@raydwatts) reported

    @virginmedia you are being complete **** again. An intermittent service for vthe past week with no resolution, no compensation and no hope of ever getting the internet we are being charged for 🤬🤬🤬

  • Nokkapie
    Paul Tee (@Nokkapie) reported

    Yes @virginmedia I love being charged more than the contract I agreed! I also love being ignored when making a formal complaint. Defo won be renewing another contract. Awful behaviour from a business ive used for 20 years!

  • markoram1
    Mark Oram (@markoram1) reported

    @virginmedia inc movies & sport & 1gb broadband all for a lady who has never used either and only sends the odd email . We have just spent another evening waiting another missed call and still no response to an email we sent a couple weeks ago . This is all causing her distress .

  • willmgreenhalgh
    Will (@willmgreenhalgh) reported

    @virginmedia is down So forced to use data but @O2 is so slow and bad it struggles to connect to anything and the o2 network app says phone masts aren't working Great service all round, not, what's the point of doubling my data if I can't connect to anything

    @virginmedia Do something about your useless Customer Service. You used to have shops and phone lines so that I could taslkd to a real person. Your automated systems have always been uselss and now you want me to send you an audio or a video message, neither of which works.

    @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.

    @Girlw0ndr Yep steer clear of @virginmedia. Their broadband is down as we speak!

    @virginmedia So what’s the point of the online renewal journey? Is the system designed to help customers, or just to annoy them?
