  @Whiskey_Mick @virginmedia We’ve just had the same experience - waited 8 days. Not a word from them. Not a human spoken to. If I had another choice I’d drop them. 0/10 for customer service.

  @virginmedia No, I have TV service only and the live chat agent said I would get the compensation form.

  @virginmedia what’s the point of paying for services from you that you frequently FAIL to provide 😡😡 How do I get my money back for days you owe me??

  @virginmedia @NatGeoUK "We hope to fix this by 25 January at 16:00" But what's this? Do you really imagine a world where people don't have to work and can stand all your frequent service disruptions? #daylight_robbery

  @virginmedia It's ok for now but evenings are the worst.

  Stewart Daniels (@Editmonster) reported 17 minutes ago from Walthamstow, England

  @MoneySavingExp , good morning just wondering if having no service from @virginmedia for over 20 Days is that ground to cancel with no costs

• 
  Helen Pinkers (@Barchetta66) reported 23 minutes ago from Islington, England

  @virginmedia So that’s it. We’re still no closer to solving this issue than we were when it went down at the beginning of the week. Absolutely dreadful service.

  @premierinn no Free WiFi or Ultimate WiFi at Premier Inn Euston. Twitter has lots of other complaints of the same issue nationally… why I am asked to speak to Virgin Media, how hard can it be? Forget Network does not force the page to reload, what else can I do?

• 
  Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported 27 minutes ago from Barnet, England

  @virginmedia @mundaytom Not true. No response to complaint letter sent August and when we’ve rung “manager will call you in 3-5 days”. Been told that 3 times. Not one callback. Shambles.

  Ella A Cutler (@angelstorm13) reported 30 minutes ago from Welwyn Hatfield, England

  And it's down again. #virginmedia

  Annie Caird 🌻 (@AnnieCaird) reported 31 minutes ago from Islington, England

  @virginmedia How long have you got? I have just sat down in a restaurant to cry on a friend’s shoulder. The nice server said, “how are you?” I just burst into tears! Seriously. My disappointment is palpable. I want to go back to @BT

  Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported 32 minutes ago from Barnet, England

  @virginmedia Also raised it in web complaint form which didn’t work. Web complaint form hasn’t worked for 2 months. Then sent letter and still no response. 2/

  @virginmedia It’s arranged (3rd time) for engineer visit tomorrow 4-7pm…. I just hope they don’t randomly cancel again

  RICHARD GRIFFITHS (@Griffo2018) reported 44 minutes ago from London Colney, England

  @virginmedia Now I am told they will send me a new hub as they do think I have problems T the house . That’s why VM booked a engineer it was not me who did it . Time will tell if the goal post moves again today

  @MissyElly @virginmedia Worst thing I did last year was move from #sky to @virginmedia I’ve only had it installed for about 6 months & I’ve never had a single month without having some sort of issue. You’re better off elsewhere!

  @virginmedia I managed to pay it in the end but please could you fix your website…there’s some weird redirecting happening when trying to either view or pay your bill. London/Broadband

  Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reported 3 minutes ago

  Hi @virginmedia This latest update appears to directly contradict the update you sent me earlier today. At 12:57, I was told that an engineer **was already on site and working to fix the problem**, with an estimated repair time of **18:00 today, 19/08/2026**. At 15:24, I am now being told that you have identified the problem and that an engineer **is on their way**, with the estimated repair time moved to **14:10 on 21/08/2026**. This is the original date that was stated 2 weeks ago. Could you please provide an accurate explanation of what is actually happening with fault **F012421201**? In particular: * Was an engineer on site earlier today, as stated? * If so, why is an engineer now apparently only “on their way”? * What has happened to cause the estimated repair time to move from this evening to Friday afternoon? * Is 21/08/2026 at 14:10 now a reliable estimate, or is this simply an automated placeholder? I appreciate that faults can take longer than expected to repair. What is frustrating is receiving contradictory information that makes it impossible to understand the actual status of the fault. Please provide a clear and factual update rather than another automated status message.

  @virginmedia No. Because it’ll end up as a hard reset and we’ll lose all our recorded stuff. When are you going to bring out a box that saves content to the cloud? That way, there’d be no issue.
