Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England@virginmedia That is really poor. It should be for Virgin to sort not the public. I spent an hour on the phone on Thursday speaking to a next to useless overseas call centre.
-
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
-

-
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

Amanda Brightmore (@mandybaps1) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia I've emailed MD and they called me within the hour and sorted my issue out within 10 minutes. You should be ashamed of yourselves
-
Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England@virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.
-
The Churchill (@Churchill0782) reported from Wakefield, England@virginmedia all services in the WF1 area of Wakefield have been down all day and looking like 6pm to be fixed. Will you be applying any credit to people's accounts?? Good will gesture and all that! #wakefield
-
Sam Watts (@SamWatt30745054) reported from Barnsley, England@virginmedia I’ve run test after test, at least 5-6 outages a month for last 2 years. Horrendous service and this is the final straw unless you offer me a refund of say £20 a month for last two years, if not I’m going BT and a dodgy box from Mad Frank in pub
-
Jamie Whalley (@jamiewhalley87) reported from Wakefield, England@virginmedia I have been trying to get through to your cancellations department since Saturday. In total, I have been on hold for 3 hours. 1 hour intervals before you cut me off. Your txt service is SH*T. Your agent introduced himself as working for Three, before he disconnected
-
Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported from Wakefield, England@KevEdwardsRetro I've been with them for years (Yorkshire Cable before that) but changed to the @vmbusiness service to get 4G backup only to find that it doesn't work when their device is in modem mode. Unable to get through to them though - worst support/customer service I've ever experienced
-
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.
-
Andy M (@AndyM50760310) reported from Dewsbury, England@virginmedia Help please. Tried to resolve wirh 3 members of your overseas Call Centre and was promised a call back. I can’t access my account.

Amy Heppingstall (@AmyHeppi) reported@virginmedia What a nightmare it is to be a virgin media customer terrible wifi ALL week and now the tv box doesn’t work - honestly investigating moving to Sky as I’m not getting the service I’m paying for!
-
Enzo Ferro (@EnzoFerro2023) reported@MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Very sorry for your loss. I left virgin media a few years back after very poor service and I am hearing lots of examples recently of why I will never return.
-
𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 (Sign name: Puppet) (@SirPuppetPaul) reported@MichelleBeckett Truly awful. I worked in customer services for a very long time and @virginmedia just needs to get better. It's never about the profits, it's what you're doing for the customer. Put yourself in Michelle's shoes. How would YOU like to be treated like this?! I'm sorry Michelle.
-
Debra Dommen (@dommen19390) reported@imogen_tew Thank for your article in the The Times 11/07/26. I have been driven to despair by HMRC & a tax savings situation. Their errors, unhelpful staff, bureaucracy & incompetence should not be tolerated. They make Virgin media look good! Surely something can be done?
-
jason (@Jason29wctb) reported@Ofcom calling cisas Monday as virgin media holding me in a contract for broadband that hasn't worked properly for 2 years and last 2 months unusable online ,engineers don't turn up sometimes and when do ,say we don't know what to do and leave ,promise work never done
-
Ryan (@GoatMvpRt91) reported@virginmedia There are known issues in my area. We have been without service for 6 hours now in NE33 . Had a text to say it is being worked on from virgin media
-
Claire Shaw (@clairebaigent) reported@virginmedia I will not be sending you a private message because despite repeated calls over the past 2 years you have done nothing to help or sort it out. You’re currently charging a 90 yr old man £160 for services he doesn’t use, so please don’t patronise me.

jango fett (@jangofe42286291) reported@dublinvoter I will never pay my licence fee again. This joke of a broadcaster all ready receives revenue from advertising like virgin media, they will survive without the licence money if they stop paying stupid wages to talentless hacks.
