-
Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported from Aveley, England@virginmedia I've been having problems with my phoneline and it is currently dead. An engineer came on Friday but its still not working. Charges have also been appearing on my phone bill for calls I have not made. This has happened twice since November.
-
Mark Connolly (@macon1375) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia They advise they would send a signal to router, I then turn off after 5 mins, for 10 mins and when back on all will be working! Well it didn’t make a difference and my speed test shows my downloads dropped from 236mbs to 36. The issue is uploads tho at 0.5mbps. On hold again!
-
Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia I raised the complaint on 14/7 and I’ve heard nothing
-
Liam Stanley💙 (@SeasideAPNP) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@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
-
Dr Stower and the Stock Market of Madness 🦍 (@1CreativeRay) reported from Wainscott, England@virginmedia Terrible service from you these last two weeks! I have spent more than 4hrs on the phone to Asian based O2, and Virgin call centres who never help or process things. Also Capita in South Africa… Why do you use foreign call centres if they cannot do the job!!
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia A number of times. But let’s be honest, they’re nothing but messengers. There is no escalation, and they can’t even call the construction company to escalate issues. As someone who has worked within many projects teams, and mapped business processes, yours is simply shocking
-
Paul Dwyer (@pauldee74) reported from Grays, England@virginmedia 02038271376 is this one of your numbers been getting calls for 3 days saying there virgin and problem with my internet!!!
-
Going for Gold (@Gold_Accounting) reported from South Ockendon, EnglandSHAME ON YOU @virginmedia refusing to send an engineer to repair my 87 year old mum with a heart condition who needs a 24/7 line for her emergency button. Making her wait ANOTHER 6 days
-
Dr Andrew Fleming 🇬🇧 🏴 (@Andrew007Uk) reported 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.
-
MrChips (@MrChips2000) reported from Grays, England@virginmedia Hi, I would like to cancel my recent broadband order. I found a better deal.
-
Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported from Romford, England@virginmedia Yes I have checked the service status, it is the first thing I do & all was fine. The issues is with the cable Ethernet & the phone connection in the Hub 4. I don’t use your WiFi setup as my house is fully cabled for networking. I am a Network Architect, so have done basic tests
-
Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia Hi. Have no wifi (green light) and despite rebooting several times have a had no luck. This has happened after following your instruction to reboot for ‘faster speed’. Please advise asap - no issues in the area according to your website.

Katie Purkiss (@KatiePurkiss) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia They haven’t got through to anyone to cancel it yet?
-
Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@MartinSLewis Virgin Media wifi been unstable since June 2020. Virgin Media never resolved the problem caused me to lose hundreds of £'s. Made me lose my PIP. Virgin made me pay double because they kept charging me twice most months. They've made me lose half my PC Guarantee
-
Ben Rogers (@eviemae239) reported from Sutton at Hone, England@virginmedia wi-fi down yet again for about the 5th time this week. Constantly going down over last few weeks as well, absolute shambles.
-
jordan lockey (@LockeyJordan) reported 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
-
Penny Rolfe nee Acres (@wonky1961) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@Mattallwright 2 years on since I have been having trouble with Virgin Media (fingers crossed) they may have now get an uninterrupted supply after charging me late payments more than double my Media prices whilst as a Vulnerable Person they were awful
-

Due to Virgin's failure to keepvulnerablepeoplesafe.://www.virginmedia.com/support/help/check-services/address-identification/identify
-
Phil (@feyipuk) reported from Crayford, England@virginmedia Think it's more to do with the upgrade work then; when I select Help from the Help & Settings menu, the screen goes blank. I'm thinking it needs a network connection to work. Any plans for a Hub with built in 02 sim to increase connectivity? Currently hot spotting my phone.
-

Way Of The Hunter 🏴 (@ACaldwell68074) reported@O2 @davehpayne Every time I lTRY log in to my @O2 app, I continually have to sign in through Virgin media which sends email to click link, then repeatedly sends me back to send another email to my account again and so on and on, I don't even have a virgin media account. It's a nightmare.
-
Face palm Vengance (@IsTheTruthToxic) reported@virginmedia @____LP____ My experience of being able to reach your customer service people is very bad. You routinely get transferred about, long holds, then the call gets dumped. It’s terrible, chat bots and complicated phone trees make it worse. Employ people to answer the phone and direct the call.
-
LP (@____LP____) reportedInternet down all da long. Googled @virginmedia to check the status of internet in my area. The AI answer took me directly to a page that said I've missed a payment with a button to pay. Might want to do something about that, Virgin...
-
Gavin Lee (@Gav288) reported@virginmedia We moved house 29th May and took our contract with us. Nearly 2 weeks later and we still have no TV services. Spent over 8 hours on the phone since we moved, been told it’s an IT issue but still not resolved. Is the IT guy on holiday?
-
Alex Jones (@dr_besty) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia No such thing as loyalty, you pay for a service, they provide said service, that's it. If you want loyalty get a dog.
-
ORIGINAL GOONER JOHN (@1947originalgo1) reported@virginmedia @gblondon1 The new virgin box has a mind of it's own, some days it decides not to record, other times it it decides to delete all your recordings. I will give it a couple more months if it continues as it has done in the past I will cancel it. I have been with virgin for over 20 years.
-
🏴🇬🇧 SMITHY 🇬🇧🏴 (@LeeSmit35077313) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia I changed to virgin once. Lasted 6 months. They charged me for services I didn’t ask for or use took bigger payments than they should have and not one person on the phone spoke clear enough English for you to understand. Absolute **** show of a company
-
Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia I would rather have no Internet or TV than go with Virgin! Probably the worst company in the UK (and India) but hope you get no issues!
-
Gothguy (@GothGuyGamer) reported@MartinSLewis Virgin media top tip: If you're close to the end of contract, don't renew. Give them your 30 days notice, When 30 days has elapsed, apply as a new customer with a new email. They won't give you any better deals unless you're a "new" customer
-
Wil Wilser (@Will_Willsher) reported@virginmedia I've had this message when trying to watch recordings for weeks, I finally tried calling today (after trying power on/off) only to hear the message 'you haven't been given access to this service' then cut off. Such poor service, especially considering what I'm £££
