-
Tom Rushton (@tomrushton88) reported from Haydock, England@virginmedia Don't use this company its disgusting and disappointing the way they treat customers. Been trying to sort my contract out for 3 months now while they rob my money, create contracts that I've not agreed to and cancel complaints that I've raised.
-
zach close YT 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 (@ZachcloseYT) reported from St Helens, EnglandYou say you care about your customers and if you did you would fix your ******* **** Internet problems that everyone is having and don't even bother replying @virginmedia
-
Hazbullins (@Hasbullins) reported from Salford, England@virginmedia New call of duty released today and your Internet service is down. Are you taking the full piss out of me here? Wankers
-
Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia I also play Destiny 2. I thought it may have been their servers but my boyfriend doesn't have the issue.
-
SLT4K 👨🏻💻 🇬🇧 (@Slt4K) reported from Urmston, England@virginmedia / Super disappointed after calling to renew my contract and as an existing customer you can’t offer anything half as good as a new customer. Shocking customer retention strategy 🤯
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@jenwahkiddles @virginmedia Pity they didn’t do it for us, had no tv or broadband for over 3 months and can’t even get the compensation they owe us, plus the direct debits they took knowing we had total loss of service. Shambolic company.
-
Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Urmston, England(Test) Is anyone experiencing a virgin media Internet outage in M6?
-
Lindz Devine (@LindzDDub) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia I have to say your Internet connection is ridiculous... for months on end, it's been shocking. I'm sick and tired of resetting my hub, I shouldn't be having this issue. Never had so much issue for the years I've had you and now, the past 6 months, I'm paying monies…
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia It’s everything connected via Wi-Fi. I don’t have the connect app. I check for service status on your website and it usually says there isn’t an issue, but that doesn’t reflect my service.
-
Maureen StewartJones (@supergran22) reported from Eccleston, England@virginmedia Thanks. Very frustrating and time consuming. Spent whole afternoon trying to sort it. Twitter not really the best way to resolve issues especially with an 82 year old.
-
Andrew (@andym1908) reported from Warrington, England@skytv @skytv . I am disappointed with your customer service and technical team . They have disconnected my sky viewing card . Why ?. I want rectifyying ASAP . Or shall I just cancel my subscription and go over to virgin media
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia Yes, this has been going on now for months. Was just on to your team to cancel, they hung up on me. I’ve never known a more woeful service. They are quick enough to take payment every month for a service I’m not getting.
-
Paul Stockton (@pstock62) reported from Horwich, England@virginmedia Internet down in BL6 5RN, any idea's
-
Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England@virginmedia See thread above, nothing changes except the time of the estimated fix. It must be very localised as not everyone in my area is affected. So if it is damaged cables, I haven’t seen anyone out repairing them over the weekend, it’s a joke
-
alex. (@blokealex) reported from Manchester, England@virginmedia Complaint is about billing after cancellation, your staff refusing to process my request to cancel and being told a different thing every time I call back… it’s been awful.
-
Adam Gardiner 💙 (@_AdamGardiner) reported from Sale, England@virginmedia You’re not understanding. I do contact when the issue is happening, your advisor then fixes it, but it then happens again within 24 hours. I need a ‘once and for all’ fix. Not this whack a mole approach you’ve had so far.
-
Nathan Talbot (@nathantalbot) reported from Salford, EnglandIs anyone experiencing a Virgin Media outage in M6 currently? Fibre Broadband is struggling to connect
-
Simon Manning 🇪🇺 - SiManM20@mstdn.uk (@SiManM20) reported from Manchester, England@nrgloz @virginmedia Your paying 75% of what we are for 35% of the d/speed there. Neighbour has just switched to Brsk - it’s full #fttp so 1Gb both up/down rather than the 52Mb UL Virgin offer via DOCSIS. £40pm
-
Elisabeth Hilton (@elisabethhilto4) reported from Lowton, England@virginmedia Been signed up to a contract I specifically asked not to be. Unable to get through on the phone and your online complaint submission form does not work. Can someone please contact me urgently
-
Mrs Smith (@SmithysMaud) reported from St Helens, England@virginmedia I reported a total loss of service on 31/8. It was finally fixed this morning. After no shows, lies and weeks between visits. They have not even offered to cover the cost of my last 3 dd’s which I wish I hadn’t paid as I had no service whatsoever

maxine wilson 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 (@maxinewilson121) reportedI have changed Internet yesterday as I was out of contract with virgin media and they wanted 95 a month, I have switched to @youfibre and I am thrilled to bits with it and now even get signal in my garden.
-
dEBT shredder (@andybearz) reported@robert_grieve @virginmedia Yup Terrible customer service Seems to be once they have you signed up they no longer give a ****
-
🏴 Simon Forsyth 🏴 (@superbairn) reported@virginmedia. I have a problem with a bill. Sent you a DM if you could have a look at look please.
-
John Munro (@Munro78) reported@virginmedia Got an email saying my contract expires soon. Taking my payments from £73.50 to £137.50 - I can’t seem to find any new deals that would bring my payments down to what my original contract was. Unless I become a new member and you charge £49.99. This can’t be right?
-
Campfire Gin (@campfiregin) reported@virginmedia help! we need to remove the automatic Home Screen as it’s confusing my mum who has Alzheimer’s, i can’t believe anyone thought it was a good idea
-
Unainstein (@AstonVillaDoge) reportedSo done with @virginmedia, live chat is useless, offer you absolutely terrible deals 'Your renewal offer will be £15 a month more than you currently pay, despite above inflation cost increases every April and you will receive nothing extra in return. This is our biggest discount'
-
Lord Lee Harding (@leeharding1980) reported@virginmedia Hello.... The Sky Sports News channel on the Sky Sports app is lagging and the audio keeps cutting out... I've contacted Sky, they told me to contact you as the account is a Virgin Media... Can you help?
-
Ashley Blick (@ablick1986) reported@virginmedia I’ve had SkySports add on without requesting this. Customer support saying 30 days notice required. Anyone else had this? This is fraud!
-
Marina Robb (@MarinaRobb) reported@MelJanie @virginmedia Tellingly, the engineer who eventually came out (I'd already cancelled the service) said they still had to fit the back up line as they'd been fined £28 million by the regulator. Appalling customer service though.
-
Malcolm Sillick (@Malcolm_Sillick) reported@LeilaniDowding @EE Lellani, it's not just EE, it's everyone. Even those on cable (Virgin Media) still have to have the phone plugged into the router. Seems like a good idea, until you get a power cut (which can be supported by a back-up battery, which is NOT given as standard) If the internet goes down, then so does your phone. Great if you have a mobile, but if you live in an area with a poor mobile signal, so reply on 'Wi-Fi calling' in the house, then when the internet goes down, you also have no mobile service. It's called progress!!
