-
John Murphy (@John_murphy1) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia how do I order a new hub please? My current one loses network access and needs rebooting every hour or so. Not ideal when working from home. There are no known service issues so I’m thinking it’s a hub issue.
-
Nick Lawton (@Pontemiller) reported from Knottingley, EnglandI think very soon I'll be saying 👋 to @ThreeUK and 🤝 to @virginmedia...over the last couple of years, the signal has got increasingly worse. I have just bought a new phone, but the problem persists...really unhappy.
-
koko 🌻 (@Koko__Johnson) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia hello, my grandmother is having issues with her TiVo Box, she's checked the cables and I've been online to check for service outage, and there's isn't any reported Can you help?
-
Andy Kershaw Media 🎙 (@andyksheffield) reported from Sheffield, England@StueyDay @virginmedia @lionsgateplusuk The service is awful and customers find it too hard to get a prompt response. Last time this happened it took at least 8-10 emails before they got past the automated letter asking me to switch off, reboot and check all the connections.
-
Marc Riley (@Sheffield_Boy) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia got a flashing Internet light on router that won't go away so my WiFi (and therefore TV/ streaming etc) not working. Tried rebooting, resetting, the works. Online help / faq no help. Are there any issues?
-
Claire 💙 (@ClaireWinslade) reported from Sheffield, EnglandMoved to @virginmedia on Monday and router didn’t come. Then when it came Wednesday the internet wouldn’t connect. After 7 phone calls and an engineer called out it’s still not working 😡 and it seems if you are on hold for too long they just cut you off. So frustrating
-
Ed Foster (@EJJFoster) reported from Wakefield, England@virginmedia I have tried the status but its saying the service is fine. Yet all the people on out estate are complaining they cannot get onto Virgin internet. We cannot book an engineer as isolating. Why is it constantly broken or speeds so slow?
-
Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England@vmbusiness strike yet again!😠 Not only are they charging me £7/month for 4G backup that doesn't work, they are now charging me £4 for paper bills that I never asked for. Oh, and still say I owe them money despite me overpaying due a to a red letter that they took by DD later
-
Jim Johnson (@jim_johnson24) reported from Shepley, England@virginmedia 7 days and still no @O2 resolution
-
Rt. Hon Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England@PaulbernalUK @virginmedia It’s fine here but earlier in March we were left without any service for days at a time . The reason given was service upgrades. Ring them on 150 for an automated update
-
Michael Collinson (@Mcollinson72) reported from Wakefield, EnglandSlow glad to be moving from @virginmedia broadband this Friday. Their advertised speeds used to be unparalleled but since FTTP alternatives becoming available their appalling level of service and refusal to acknowledge or deal with faults has forced a once loyal customer
-
Aidan Carey (@Aidan1964) reported from Wakefield, England@virginmedia I'm a new customer and cannot access my account. I've spoken to your customer service team a number of times and they haven't been able to sort my issue out. My account is tagged as a secondary account, but I'm the primary account holder!

Philip Mackey (@PhilipMackey2) reported@VirginMediaIE Day 10. Literally have no words left to describe how inept Virgin Media are. No tv service for 10 days since we moved home & had media connect technician set up our broadband (which works!) & our tv service,which spectacularly does not.
-
Will (@willmgreenhalgh) reported@virginmedia is down So forced to use data but @O2 is so slow and bad it struggles to connect to anything and the o2 network app says phone masts aren't working Great service all round, not, what's the point of doubling my data if I can't connect to anything
-
gary blythe (@B1yth3y) reported@virginmedia hi, wrote to you a few days ago, spoke to customer services via dm and halfway through conversation no one got back to me so basically cut off before query was sorted.
-
Mitch W 71 (@Mitch_1142) reported@1Atkins @ThatsTVOfficial xenon81Message posted on30 Jul 2026 03:21 PM - last edited: 30 Jul 2026 03:22 PM That's TV has gradually removed all its channels from Sky, Freesat and Virgin Media over the last few months. It remains on Freeview (for now) but is said to be suffering financial problems.
-
Paul Tee (@Nokkapie) reportedYes @virginmedia I love being charged more than the contract I agreed! I also love being ignored when making a formal complaint. Defo won be renewing another contract. Awful behaviour from a business ive used for 20 years!
-
B M50 (@BM502s) reported@biggle1908 @C_Midd99 Rkid had the same issue with his Sky package & price, so switched to Virgin Media, now saving £70 a month with faster broadband. Couldn’t be happier with it.
-
Amrit Phull (@Amrit_Phull) reported@virginmedia You have an outage again to all services - broadband and tv. This is 3rd time in 6 months………you are the most pathetic communication company. Stop spending hundreds of thousands on your annoying TV ads, and use that money to improve your ******* service!!!
-
Dr Ioannis Zisis 🏴🇬🇷🇪🇺 (@zisisioa) reportedAbysmal service from @virginmedia ...24hours without broadband/tv and so much time wasted on chatbot checks....they dont even bother to log a case.
-
Alex Davies (@daviesa02) reported@virginmedia can I DM regarding an issue I am having with an online form?
