Sami Channon (@sami_chanchan) reported from Brighton and Hove, England@Ofcom @virginmedia Amazing thank you. I think I am getting somewhere with virgins Twitter team but there phone staff refused to escalate my complaint to a manager several times and then insisted on a call back which will apparently take 72 hours
-
Danny Williamson (@Sacto_King_UK) reported from Worthing, England@virginmedia No. Your staff don’t respond to emails when they come back on shift. I’d like to raise a complaint please. Please escalate this to your supervisor if this is something you can’t do. I’ve been waiting since 14th December. Do you feel this is acceptable customer service?

Matt (@mattiem1976) reported from Sompting, England@virginmedia Been reaching out for 6hrs on your app and still not resolved a basic problem @TradeStandards

Warren Ryan Philips (@Luciddestiny) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England@brooktop68 @virginmedia @bridgetmck We’ve turned the Superhub to Modem Mode and picked up separate WiFi routers. Resolved most of our issues immediately and we rarely get drop outs. Invest in a decent router or Mesh, you won’t regret it.

Helen Rimmer 💙 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported from Burgess Hill, England@virginmedia But why do we have to keep looking for information. Is there no way of updating the customer directly, it is appalling customer communication. What is the problem? Why just keep putting estimates? If it isn't going to be fixed for 48 hours tell us.

Kat Blakeborough (@katb217) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England@virginmedia help received a text to say my order is coming on Thursday but haven’t ordered anything? Any idea how I can find out what’s coming?

🏳️🌈 #SociallyDistancingRick 🏳️🌈 (@richardscovell) reported from Brighton and Hove, England1/4 Customer scam alert: When moving and contacting @virginmedia to transfer your services to your new property, if they cannot provide services there they will apply an early disconnection charge which they will state is in accordance with their Legal Stuff, do not accept this.

Michael Jones (@mejones2121) reported from Woodingdean, England@virginmedia no internet or phone line yet again. The worst service from a provider I've ever had. #internet #internetshutdown
-
Danny Williamson (@Sacto_King_UK) reported from Worthing, England@virginmedia I’ve been promised a call back from Virgin media 6 or 7 times in the last 6 days No one called me back I was told by Virgin Media to raise a complaint, so I did. The lady who took my complaint promised to call me back yesterday She didn’t Worst customer service

Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England@virginmedia No it was the ‘general area fix’ (my engineer was cancelled by Virgin) which was then followed up with an email that said ‘everything is sorted’ which it was, until today when it was in and out again for hours. It’s ok now, but for how long?

Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England@virginmedia Same, slow and occasionally dropping out
-
Gary Pleece (@garypleece) reported from Brighton and Hove, England@virginmedia Hi, we had an engineer around Saturday but it’s not really made much difference. It’s still intermittently dropping out and pretty slow too. What do you suggest to correct this?
-

-
chris rose (@barbados10) reported from Shoreham-by-Sea, England@virginmedia very quick to take £130 per month for services but very slow to fix it when things go wrong let’s check for Sky! #customerservice #unhappycustomer #bringbackRichardBranson

Fragile Creatures (@FragileCreature) reported from Brighton and Hove, EnglandI've been waiting 2+ hours for a response over WhatsApp from @virginmedia 3 hours since first trying to reach them with Broadband down. Can't work, starting to think they just don't employ any staff. Second time I've had negligent service from them. Looking elsewhere asap.

Shen 😈🗡️ (@ShenArriorVT) reported******* VIRGIN MEDIA FIX YOUR **** RAAAAAH
-
Richard D G Cox (rcox.bsky.social) (@RDG_C) reportedHello @virginmedia might you please have your legal department confirm their address for service of documents such as, for example, formal “letters before action”? It would of course have been preferable if the question had not had to be asked, but … we are where we are.

Gary Adams (@GazzaAdams) reportedHi @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.

Tó's Right Foot (@UncommonNeutral) reported@longlaneroyal @virginmedia I don't understand why anyone uses Virgin Media. I've literally never met a happy customer of theirs. Plusnet forever and always.
