Helen-Claire Stone (@Helen_Claire71) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia’s customer service is appalling. 3 hours to respond to a message has to be the benchmark for worst practice. Last weekend it took them 27 hours to sort out cancelling my account. Absolutely hopeless.

-
jamie (@JMRGBY_) reported@MICHAELEMERS0N @virginmedia It’s pathetic. What could have happened to warrant approximately 8 days before a fix can happen??
-
mec337 (@mec337) reported@virginmedia I’m busy composing an email for ofcom about how I’m forced to pay for a phone service to be able to have a package that’s overpriced. Yet when I actually want to use it, it’s broken- repeatedly. Then forced to go through stupid phone menus and wait >30 mins
-
Anne Murphy (@agreenalgh) reported@virginmedia you finally broke me at this point!!! Almost three weeks without a tv service still not resolved🤬- daily follow ups by me. Just an absolute disgraceful service
-
David Cooper (@TeessideDCooper) reported@virginmedia once again internet down! Online checker says area ok! What a load of rubbish funny how all my neighbours are down as well.
-
Josh (@Joshhhhh____) reportedThanks at @virginmedia for going down 3 times in one month new record!!! Well done! and refusing compensation. Disgusting!
-
ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reported@JaneVCarroll @virginmedia Theyve been downright rude to me on the phone today. As soon as I can cancel my services with them the better. A customer of over 20 years and because I'm a mature 72 year old woman they speak to me as if I'm stupid. Cancelling next week.
-
James Mcgowan (@mcgowan_mcgowan) reported@virginmedia no services at all at G74 has any issues been reported.?
-
Shaun (@shauny67) reported@virginmedia @kimtaylor18 In 2026 I cannot understand why people want to pay for a TV service that you can subscribe to yourself. I have Virgin 1Gb then I subscribe to Netflix Amazon Prime & Disney, when it's F1 season I subscribe to Sky sports but I can cancel when I want at no extra charge
-
Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported@virginmedia Still no refund though! Seems like what you said about registering an outage (which I did on the website) - and my in-law's registered as well, resulted in nothing being refunded to either. When should this be expected?
-
Gothguy (@GothGuyGamer) reported@saltyy_savage start a new contract with virgin media with a new email address, the "new" customers get all the decent prices, sincerely ongoing customer for 10+ years paying £40 for a decent connection
