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.

Andrew English (@andy_english) reported from Dewsbury, England@LordTets @virginmedia Go to Ofcom... you have clearly given them ample time on numerous occasions to resolve your complaint. Life is too short to spend your time waiting for promised calls and web chats... let the ombudsman deal with them.

Chirpy Frances (@chirpyfrances) reported from Wakefield, EnglandBeen through 16 mths of lockdown, 3 working from home & hardly a glitch on the broadband. Last 8wks its gone down for several minutes a day between 10am and 1pm. Only on weekdays & its supposed to be a problem with our hub, really? An engineer could find it @virginmedia #shoddy
-
Oli B (@olibrown77) reported from Sheffield, England@pauldevine1986 @virginmedia We are still down in S7. Nearly 24 hours now. Saying 2pm is the updated fix time. But that keeps getting pushed back 🙄😡
-
Tom “Harlam” King (@HarlamTK) reported from Wombwell, England@virginmedia How do I open a complaint then, because I’m still stuck on the phone with her and she is refusing to let me make my complaint.
-
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

Mr. Mickey (@MrMickey142) reported@Argos_Online I've always thought Virgin Media were the unanimous heavyweight champions of 'couldn't give a ****' customer 'care' but today, I've just realised (only because I deal with VM a lot more) that there's a genuine contender - a great white 'hope'!🤬 DISGUSTING!
-
Ferdi Rezvan (@ferdi_rezvan) reported@virginmedia Multiple random outages over 24 hours, and your virgin status page does not work properly. Should have stayed with BT in 2 years and had no outages. Regret joining virgin media , poor internet and poor technical support.
-
Mikey Molfessis (@mikey_mol) reported@virginmedia if your technicians cannot fix a problem in 4 weeks and I get no refund and your status update says everything is fine, but multiple people in the area are affected, do me a favour and stop calling me to sell me additional services. Please.
-
Tom Fahy (@MojoTomSpring) reported@SuzieD755164 @RTEOne @virginmedia Weak men created bad times, bad times create strong men, strong men create good times.. that’s what happening now, the incompetence of these elites has pushed us into the dark ages.. now people are rising to bring back common sense and stability
-
Mike Fuller (@ninepine) reported@virginmedia Apology accepted but your data is clearly bad and your systems faulty if you have to rely on assumptions not truth. Sadly symptomatic of @virginmedia - @ICOnews should investigate. When your systems also wrongly say I haven't paid my bill in full it's systemic not unusual.😡
-
Nik (@ThingsByNik) reported@SparkyLotus @youfibre I’ve had You Fibre and Virgin Media knocking last few last weeks, so seems it’s still a thing for broadband sales. I always say that I will never buy anything that someone knocks at my house to sell.
-
Charlotte Riggio (@MsLiberty1776US) reported@virginmedia 6 hours and no response to the DM you asked for We apologised for the inconvenience caused. We have arranged for a specialised technician to visit you today between 12 PM and 4 PM to resolve both the TV . Your complaint has been raised and will remain open to ensure everything is fully resolved, and you will receive confirmation of the appointment via text message.
-
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
