  @virginmedia Morning! All service seems to be down in N14 - can’t even access your service page to check what’s happening. Can you help?

• 
  Annie Caird 🌻 (@AnnieCaird) reported 23 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

• 
  BuG$y (@browngaybitch) reported 28 minutes ago from Harrow Weald, England

  Absolutely rubbish customer service from @virginmedia @VirginMedia_TV @VirginMediaCorp waiting for over 2 hours, first call the advisor hung up after I asked to speak to his manager and the second advisor CANNOT give me a reference to the call or let me speak to a manager

  Mira Burton (@MiraBur44156853) reported 31 minutes ago from Tottenham, England

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

• 
  Peggy Dyer (@Mrspdyer) reported 32 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.

• 
  Geoff Neale (@g_neale) reported 32 minutes ago from Camden Town, England

  @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?

• 
  Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported 34 minutes ago from Harrow Weald, England

  @virginmedia If you remember I told you that it was likely that work occurring at the cabinet in our street caused our issue. The engineer visited and fixed the issue caused by that work. So, it was an engineer/maintenance caused issue.

• 
  Mariachiara (@mariesnotcool) reported 41 minutes ago from Islington, England

  @virginmedia we’ve had no service in EC1V London, since our Wi-Fi was installed last month. We’ve tried to call countless time and we keep being told about “area issues” that would be solved the day after but never do. This is just unacceptable behaviour!

• 
  Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported 44 minutes ago from Watford District, England

  Called @virginmedia , now a technician booked. Outages are now common, there’s little communication from @virginmedia on actual status, even the service status page is usually out of date and the call centre staff admitted to me they don’t know what’s going on.

• 
  Sam Batty (@sam_batty) reported 45 minutes ago from Islington, England

  @virginmedia Just spend over an hour on live chat/phone. Your service means we’ll be nearly two weeks without internet!

• 
  SallyH (@sallyhhk) reported 45 minutes ago from Islington, England

  @virginmedia 3 hours of online chat and I’m still haven’t managed to cancel my subscription. Why is it so difficult??

• 
  Sandeep Pandya (@spandya1) reported 50 minutes ago from Watford, England

  @virginmedia is there a problem impacting broadband in wd17? Services dropped suddenly at around 1:30-1:45pm today.

• 
  Lawrence ****** 🇺🇦 (@goonerlgh) reported 51 minutes ago from Islington, England

  @virginmedia Do you, or could you make a TV box remote for the elderly? Tiny buttons with tinier symbols instead of words, black buttons on black body.... Almost impossible for some older people to use. An OAP version with larger coloured buttons would be such a help!

• 
  Steven Peterson 🏳️‍🌈 (@squeakytoy) reported 52 minutes ago from Islington, England

  @virginmedia I’ve already terminated my service with you since you were unable to get it installed in less than a month.

  Hey @virginmedia - yet ANOTHER outage HA54ED. How many more will there be? My elderly mother in law had no TV for 10 days recently. You gave her compensation. How about proper service? Not good enough. Please contact me.

  "There is intermittent signal in your area" so what did @virginmedia spend nearly a week destroying the Internet in this area actually fix... can't wait to leave once Openreach finish their build in this area. Sick of terrible service. Trying to run a business lol

  Lynne Harper (@LynneHa33713143) reported 6 minutes ago

  @andyburnham Just keep issuing massive fines to these companies like you did with Virgin Media until these companies make it much less complicated to cancel their subscriptions.

  Zoe Smith (@ladyspeakerz) reported 6 minutes ago

  @andyburnham PLEASE READ THIS TWEET EVERYONE. IF ANY VIRGIN MEDIA STAFF AT BAGULEY MANCHESTER CALL CENTRE WHERE I WORKED WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR SLANDERING ME / FRAMING ME. THEN HERES PROOF THAT COMPANY ARE A BUNCH OF CRUEL UNETHICAL IMMORAL SCAMMERS YOU DONT THINK IF THEY CAPABLE OF DOING THIS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY CAPABLE OF DOING TO A WOMAN THEY HATE AND NO DOUBT JEALOUS OF here’s some confirmed validated real evidence NOT THEM BEING FRAMED that the staff at Virgin media call centres were all pardoned allowed to scam MILLIONS of their customers Here is proof Copied and pasted from Google please refer to articles in the press that confirm this what I’ve tweeted here If you think moral decent people do this to their customers scamming them in a cruel cold way SEEK JESUS  Virgin Media was fined a record £28 million by Ofcom in July 2026 for deliberately making it difficult for customers to cancel their contracts and switch to rival providers. Investigation Findings The regulatory investigation covered calls made between January 1, 2022, and September 11, 2024. Ofcom found that MILLIONS of customer service interactions were mishandled to prevent or delay cancellations. Specific tactics included: • Deliberately dropping or hanging up calls when customers asked to cancel. Putting callers on hold for no reason to frustrate them Excessive and unnecessary call transfers between departments. Using a two-tier retention system where only specific agents were allowed to process final cancellations. THIS LOT ARE CONFIRMED CRUEL SCAMMERS

  @virginmedia - you customer service app is faulty, my TV Box is faulty how can I leave and end this poor service? Can @skytv or @EE help Me leave and get a better service?

• 
  Craig (@Scrumpyjackfan) reported 10 minutes ago

  After 25 years with @virginmedia it’s time to say 👋. Relocating your customer services to SE Asia a few years back was a stupid move, I have wasted hours waiting and talking to your reps. Even now I must do the leg work to find a better deal. You should be phoning me to keep me.

• 
  MrBazza 🎬 (@MrBazza) reported 15 minutes ago

  @O2 I have 3 mobile lines alongside volt package @VirginMedia broadband and an open complaint about contract rates. Your app is quoting me much more than what I currently pay! With Volt double data, I only need a low base plan. Please DM me to sort a fair deal.

  @biggle1908 Avoid virgin media like the plague. Appalling customer service.

  @biggle1908 I changed to Virgin media for that same reason. Very happy customer.
