🥔 A bean has no name 🥔 (@ylilxanoi) reported from Wigan, England@Virgin @virginmedia I've had no Internet now for 14 days and my bill is due in 2 days.

-
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.

-

Baxy (@Baxy2001) reported from Wigan, England@virginmedia please can you explain why I have been in a queue to speak to someone for over 35 minutes to try and cancel my contract? Absolute joke of a company, poor services and poor customer service.
-
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.

billy winter (@billywi56359173) reported@virginmedia tried calling and it’s impossible to get through to anyone, my bill keeps going up and up and up and the service keeps getting worse and worse, so I try and swap supplier and now you’re charging me nearly £300 to leave early.
-
Sam Reynolds (@samr_1986) reported@virginmedia I joined in Dec 2025 at £23.99 a month and my broadband price has already increased in April 2026 after only a few months. I’m really disappointed with how quickly the advertised price changed. Can someone review my account and help with a better deal please?
-
Dave #oafc (@Rusty_Barnacle) reported@virginmedia have to say I've really enjoyed spending over 15 hours on the phone and 10 of those on hold this week trying to sort my contract out because your salesperson didn't sort it properly. I've been trying to cancel for 2 hours this morning and been left on hold again
