-
The HWC (@Hello_HWC) reported from Basingstoke, England@virginmedia Slow speed Constantly dropping service Not able to connect devices, TV and computers To be fair your engineer was the best bit! The rest was an absolute shambles. It’s all in a complaint I have through on your website to the resolution team...
-
Noice1 (@Noice113) reported from Finchampstead, England@virginmedia I am trying to cancel and on three occasions have asked for help my bills have gone up by 45% no explanation shame on you
-
Ryan Byford (@cobysaur) reported from Wokingham, EnglandI wonder if @virginmedia and @vodafoneuk use the same backbone or something. Both services are down or extremely slow since 17:00
-
arsenal (@gooner64) reported from Basingstoke, England@virginmedia I would really appreciate a phone call from yourselves to resolve an issue that is becoming frustrating to which my wife can not continue to work from home 😡😡
-
Jon Bond (@JobbyOvy) reported from Basingstoke, EnglandPhoned @virginmedia tonight to cancel, as my price was going to £74 from £55 a month. Best they could offer was £60 a month even though as a new customer it is currently £50 a month! I was told if they offered their current customers those prices, they’d go out of business...
-
Paul Bullock (@pBullox) reported from Thatcham, England@virginmedia moved house today supposed to have been reconnected. You have a problem, known about for days but arrive and say not today mate! I gotta go to Vodafone now for data. After 20 years, it’s like my wife left me...
-
Gareth “Gazimoff” Harmer (@Gazimoff) reported from Basingstoke, England@virginmedia That’s right. We’d moved house and we’re hoping to keep you with us, but there’s been over a month of delays (issues with current cable). I need it for work, so I’ve been forced to cancel and organise alternatives.
-
☁️ Chris Reddington (@reddobowen) reported from Winnersh, England@virginmedia - Internet seems to have gone down in RG41, and your status page isn’t working. Can you confirm / when will it be back? Thx
-
Graeme Spice (@spice1971) reported from Yateley, England@virginmedia Maybe you can pass on the fact 2 calls to two separate call centres (first was India, second Scotland) both dropped mid call. Assuming it wasn’t the operators maybe there is an issue. Didn’t happen to Philpines on third call. Annoying when hold times are long
-
Philip E Davies (@philip_e_davies) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Came back on Sunday morning, obvs pleased it was fixed but a 14 hour outage this weekend following a 46 hour outage last weekend, service used to be so good but seems to be very unreliable at the moment
-
Matt Roberts (@mattrobertsCFC) reported from Wokingham, EnglandPoor quality streamed fight on SKY Box office through Virgin Media. Still an issue, been glitchy all night..... disappointed not clear for main event.... Will be complaining and demanding a refund @virginmedia @SkySportsBoxing @SkySports #skyboxoffice #virginmedia #AnthonyJoshua
-
Tom Hogan (@TheTomothy) reported from Basingstoke, England@virginmedia better have a good explanation for this but likely this will never be answered and all my years of bills and loyalty mean absolutely sod all. @bt_uk and @SkyHelpTeam Any good deals on broadband? And can you promise you wont vandalise my home & connection randomly?
-
T 🎮 (@16_bit_boy) reported from Basingstoke, England@virginmedia Already checked that, no issues apparently..
-
Steve Jones (@fleetsaints) reported from Fleet, England@virginmedia Yes. Turned it off. Unplugged everything & put it all back in and still we get intermittent issues.
-
Tony Phillips (@Loafite) reported from Basingstoke, England@SkyHelpTeam hope all is well, @virginmedia have just increased my bill again for broadband (£32 increase per month in the last 10 months, disgraceful) are there any deals for a Sky customer for broadband?
-
Jim Moore (@HamiltonNashHR) reported from Winnersh, EnglandSo @virginmedia is down again, and their 4G backup dongle has failed to take over AGAIN. In fact, it has never once failed over to 4G in any of the outages we’ve ever had. Why am I paying for this? 😡
-
Jane (@i96jms) reported from Fleet, England@virginmedia We are going around in circles. Your team just go through the same script each time we call. Please arrange escalation to a manager to investigate why your support team cannot resolve issues due to flawed process.
-
Callum Penny (@callum_penny) reported from Fleet, England@virginmedia no WiFi for the past 4 hours now… have ran tests to solve issues. Says service is fine in area again now but still nothing? Gu52 area code
-
Alex George (@woodsa164) reported from Wokingham, England@virginmedia Not great, it never is really.
-
John Richards (@Johnty14) reported from Basingstoke, England@virginmedia next to useless support over the last 2 days trying to explain to your technical department what packet loss is! In the 40 mins it takes, the packet loss and speed has gone back to normal.

-
Chris Long (@afcwomblelong) reported@virginmedia Ok so no sky sports+ available to watch.. just spent over a hour and 20 minutes on a web chat queue that no human turned up to help. Now seeking compensation as I cannot view what I paid for. Please advise.
-
Andy Nicholls 🫧⚒️✝️ (@andy_nicks60) reportedSo @virginmedia after 15 years as a customer for broadband don’t deem you worthy of a recordable 360 box if you want to use them as a sole provider instead of Sky and only offer a streaming box that won’t work if your internet goes down. #AwfulCustomerService #Sky
-
doozerlyn (@doozerlyn) reported@virginmedia... All replies about red button issue are 'working on getting it fixed'..... Sky boxes working fine.... Been a week now.... Bit of a joke aren't you?? What you going to do to make your customers happy cos empty apologies isn't doing it...

-
Johnny Mac (@JohnMac19059272) reported@Smallworth_xx @virginmedia Is it possible to go back to a satellite dish as all these Internet based have problems with buffering. Gone all for years now.
-
Liz Vine (@lizzyfmant) reported@virginmedia can you please update when you plan to solve the intermittent service issue in the ME8 area. Really fed up of my internet cutting out daily. Engineer yesterday says it’s an open issue however it’s been going on weeks. Surely you should have resolved this by now?
-
Colin Morty (@cmwba) reported@KevvyJ63 @SkySports @virginmedia I agree, every season is the same! Might as well have the reception from an empty baked bean tin! Inept service.
