  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 5 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Though I am dyslexic I have painstakingly done this on multiple devices and have photos to show It - not posting them publicly but it does not recognise that password 😢 A search on line suggests the problem is not unique. I have one hour to call the manufacturer if you advice.

  Paul Wingfield BSc CEng MIET (@pwingers) reported 7 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia I tried again today. After faffing with phone, then faulty website, and back to phone, I eventually found a very helpful assistant who managed to convince me to stay; happily. It was close though, as much room for improvement. Please sort out your customer services & website.

  @virginmedia Obviously i don't have proof because your site doesn't say send recorded so why would i, my number was ported in July and I wrote same time, I have no reason to not send letter and you can see from any data usage that I stopped using your service

  Richard Noble (@Richard09499442) reported 10 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia my wifi is terrible, how do i go about getting some boosters so that my signal is as strong as you promise? I can't access the app (thats another unresolved problem!) Also how do i go about receiving the £100 credit that you also promise? Thank you.

  @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Imagine being part of a club or a group where roaming could be free for every mobile phone network automatically across Europe We should join that club sometime.

  @virginmedia You’ve now sent me the same unhelpful link about compensation 3 times. This will only compensate me if I have no service, and as I have a service (albeit 3mbps) this, as I’ve repeated several times, doesn’t help me. Another example of poor customer service

  Helen Dickens (pinknblue):) (@pinknblue) reported 27 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia hello Merry Christmas. If any one is there today so you know 8f the e mails are down as from early this morning it keeps asking me to put in mu password and then not recognising it but won't let me re set either and I can't send or receive any e mails :(

  @AnnG50707311 @virginmedia I always haggled with them and got them to come in at new customer prices. Surprising what they will give you when you let them think you are leaving. Also let them know what other companies will offer you to become a customer as they may match the offer

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 34 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia so after weeks of unbelievably poor broadband and customer service there was an offer from you to resolve the situation with a web chat at 11am, with a link being provided here. No link. I’m lost for words

  @BBCNews please help. @virginmedia refusing to make an 87 year old with a heart condition who needs her telephone 24/7 for her emergency button a priority. Not sending an engineer for ANOTHER 6 DAYS.

  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 36 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia The issue has now been resolved just after my tweet, I was just very angry at the time. Thank you though for responding.

• 
  Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 38 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia There is a blockage, that I know - I have had no service since November. I was told it would not be sorted before March 6th. I had been promised 3 call backs from different people in the Exec Department - none have followed up.

• 
  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 47 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia Actually that’s wrong, I received an email to advise that the complaint had been resolved and had to respond saying it hasn’t. What hope is there when you can’t even get a complaint right?

• 
  Robert Smith (@RobertSSmith66) reported 48 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  Q. What kind of moronic company thinks it enhances customer service by only allowing communication via WhatsApp on a phone? A. @virginmedia! @SkyUK here I come !

• 
  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 49 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia I contacted customer services for an update on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I was informed by your Twitter account I wouldn’t need to send my current phone back until I receive my new one. I was then informed by the gentleman on the phone my new phone won’t be sent until I send this

• 
  Mark 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@WhiskyOneIce) reported 49 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Yes I have chased and chased and spent 4 hours today on WhatsApp, no advise just can't help because I have outstanding bill....no the line isn't active because it was ported over to Community Fibre on 8th July

• 
  Carol Dover (@CarolB29041964) reported 55 minutes ago from Stifford, England

  Just how **** are Virgin Media...my email was down for two evenings and probably the days as well earlier in the week, and now it's down again. Virgin Media i need to access my emails....this level of service is unacceptable. I'm paying for this crap service! @virginmedia

• 
  jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported 56 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia I am not paying the bill until you fix your ****** internet plus your trying to scam us by raising our bill to £225 even though it's supposed to be £130 and we have never missed a payment

• 
  ✖️𝔻𝕖𝕒𝕟 𝕄𝕔𝔽𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖✖️ (@NoddyMaccy) reported 58 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia My phone is now over two weeks late, which isn’t an issue, I understand waiting for one to become available to send but to suggest I send this phone back and go without a phone until one eventually gets sent to me is just ridiculous. I’m not gonna pay my bills with no phone…

  @_andy_pandy_ @virginmedia Outrageous 😱 I’d cancel my subscription.

  Legal Eagle. (@ACLegalServices) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I am seriously thinking of leaving Virgin after 25 years or so as you are about to double my bill to £62.00 a month for speeds of 120mbps. Any recommendations to replace them with a reliable service, that I have had with Virgin. Difficult to talk to them on phone

• 
  Dan Stevens (@DanStev14730264) reported 4 minutes ago

  @virginmedia What a joke I will not be waiting 10 days for your service to come back on, thanks for ruining the world cup for us all. I want compensation for this it's outrageous

• 
  Dan Stevens (@DanStev14730264) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @LadyLucia05 Can you please advise what and how you are going to compensate. We have been waiting 3 days already and then you have the cheek to say we'll have no service until the 10th of July. Please respond asap. This is outrageous

• 
  Bhavin (@Bhavinmaru2020) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia why is my internet down in the morning this is the 3rd day in a row! I have checked status every day keeps saying intermittent loss!

• 
  Matt Walters (@mattwalters70) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Congratulations for officially being the worst company that I have ever dealt with. Poor customer service with staff who DO NOT listen, staff that oversell contracts to vulnerable people, a website that is frankly awful, complaints that are not taken seriously.

• 
  mec337 (@mec337) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia ok, what’s the issue with bbc iPlayer sometimes it wants to play sometimes I have to retry many times. Sometimes if I log in I have to wait 2 mins for it to then work. It’s not consistent and very very annoying

• 
  dawnieC (@CorkinDawn) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia yet again cant access email. Forbidden 403 error, is anyone else having this problem? I am waiting for an important email. I really should switch to gmail as virgin are too frequently unreliable

• 
  Amiel (@amieldh) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia how long do I need to wait to receive my welcome email with my login details? Ordered my broadband on June 29, 2026.

  Risteárd Ó hArrachtáin (@HarrachtainO) reported 20 minutes ago

  The absolute consensus among Irish mainstream media on every single issue is remarkable. Across RTE, the Irish Times, The Journal, The (hilariously misnamed) Independent, Virgin Media etc. there’s no diversity of thought, no discord, no dissent on any matter. How is this possible
