  Tony Patis-Stannard (@tonyps1977) reported 4 minutes ago from Romford, England

  @virginmedia your service is shocking and spent 40mins on the phone to be told you can’t connect my call and to try again, you have my contact details get in touch with me as I want to speak to someone about the service I’m not getting…

  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 8 minutes ago from Romford, England

  So @virginmedia want £288 to cancel a contract I've had since 2018. Can I get through to anyone to speak about it? NO!!

• 
  Lewis Allen ⚒ (@_Lewis_A) reported 12 minutes ago from Romford, England

  On phone to @virginmedia for 55 mins to cancel, speak to 4 different people about a mis-sold service and then when I ask them to produce my contract they hang up. Not happy.

  @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…

  @virginmedia I’m going into my 5 week of problems with this crap company they say they will investigate but nothing, no compensation nothing.

  Nancy S (@mizznansea) reported 23 minutes ago from Aveley, England

  @TracyWoodley4 @virginmedia @Virgin Their service has certainly gone down hill and this issue with the call centre is a complete farce. If they can't even get their own internal systems sorted as a telecomms company what hope do we have? My contract is up in March and I will defo be leaving Virgin.

  Russell Norris (@rrrussboy) reported 25 minutes ago from Southend-on-Sea, England

  @virginmedia I’ve now been told that there is no complaints team, despite the fact I spoke to them earlier. How is it possible to be so poor?

  @virginmedia Hi VM, I ordered a replacement remote control for my TIVO box. Just realised that was a couple of months ago but it never came. When trying online again it says as I’ve had one within six months I can’t order another. Please check that the first was ever sent, thanks

  Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported 40 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia somehow you have reset my Dad’s Virgin media box, LAN seems to be off and the wifi on it is back on. This is rubbish because we have network setup there with much better hardware than your box. Now none of it works and I am hundreds of miles from his house. Why?

• 
  Nick Miller 🇺🇦 (@NickMillerUK) reported 41 minutes ago from South Ockendon, England

  @virginmedia It’s everything downstream of the LAN ports, so wifi on the box is on and working but all his wired network is offline. I have asked him to check all the cabling to make sure it’s all connected.

  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 !

• 
  Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported 53 minutes ago from Dartford, England

  @virginmedia All of our WiFi appliances stopped working at the exact same time. The WiFi keeps trying to connect but just whirls and whirls. No issues with our appliances

  Phil (@feyipuk) reported 54 minutes ago from Crayford, England

  @virginmedia That's my issue; in terms of service, it is resolved. Thr cable was previously buried (all be it not that deep), & I would have liked it to be again. My suggestion was leave slack so I could bury it. That message wasn't passed on to the 3rd party engineer. What would you advise?

  Carol Dover (@CarolB29041964) reported 54 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

  Jay Bourley (@drummerJ83) reported 55 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia Hi, the VMGo app is telling me I need to upgrade to watch live tv but I’ve got the right package to have access and have until today watched live via the app. Is there an issue? Tried restarting it etc.

• 
  Andee Byford (@BobCratchitt) reported 58 minutes ago 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

  DragonFish 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇮🇹 (@discobabe76) reported 59 minutes ago from Sutton at Hone, England

  @virginmedia No as I look after an elderly lady with parkinsons on Thursdays which means she doesn't get to get out of the house if I don't see her. So it's booked in for Friday. What help doninhave till then? Or reimbursement? I'm free every day after 3pm & I'm free Tuesday all day

• 
  Sharon Hills 💗 (@Gertie58) reported 60 minutes ago from Dartford, England

  @virginmedia We have broadband but no WiFi. Rang customer services on Thursday lunchtime to be told that although nothing shows up in the service checker it' known fault and should be back today, now it's almost two days without WiFi, just want update from someone who knows what's happening

  BM (@birdiegotweet84) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hi guys. The voice activated part of my remote isn’t working at the moment. Could you give me some guidance on how to fix the issue please? Thanks in advance for your help!

• 
  Deano (@deanspread) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Well I’m at work now but it was working then going off for a couple minutes then back on all day. Then about 9pm went off for 20 mins then back on. Went on your page to check the service and it was saying nothing was wrong.

• 
  Diplo (@loldiplo) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Already got one booked in. I will be complaining however as you already are charging a substantial amount for a service you’re clearly incapable of providing.

• 
  Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported 11 minutes ago

  @VirginMedia We’ve had complete loss of internet since 2/5/26 due to broken cable, yet no proper fix or technician visit despite repeated promises. Instead, you sent someone to “clean router” & logged it as speed issue not total outage. This is unacceptable. Plz resolve urgently.

• 
  Brendan (@sabrevan) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia There was an outage in my area - for 3 days. It’s not my hub. It’s the ridiculously bad, unreliable service @virginmedia provide. Our whole street is complaining. Guess what … the service is down again today 😡

• 
  Steven Usher (@servesthesun) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia it’s quite literally impossible to sign into either your website or the app! Literally stuck in an endless loop of being asked to sign in but when I do it refreshes the page asking me to sign in

• 
  Andy (@AndyRunningman) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia how long is the wait for customer services. Been on hold for 30mins. Have a problem with my tv box. Non of the diagnostics works. Been like it for weeks. Loosing the will to live trying to fix it!

• 
  kellyann (@kellyan99166027) reported 21 minutes ago

  @virginmedia since 1pm yesterday afternoon we have been told that the problem is being fixed. Every time the estimated time comes up you change it again. We have little to no information about what’s happening. Could you please advise on when. It will be corrected ?
