Tommy Doyle 💙 (@Tommy_Doyle) reported from Southend-on-Sea, England@virginmedia Hi, had a call this morning allegedly from you saying my internet service was compromised and malware was being downloaded, then proceeded to ask questions which I refused to answer. Was it you lot?
-
grizzly_gooner (@GoonerGrizzly) reported from Thundersley, England@virginmedia This seems to be the standard message coming from Virgin Media. “Computer says no”. If you can’t see the issue with this then you (Virgin Media) are the problem. I’m inclined to contact the ombudsman as you have sold me a service which you blatantly cannot provide or install.

Katie Williams (@katie_2521) reported from Wickford, England@virginmedia I had already look at this page previously. And when we have issues there is no indication on what it could be, I. E the *********** light is in as if its connected

Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Sam Greenland (@SprocketEtQuill) reported@virginmedia Another Virgin Media engineer came out again to bury the cable from house to street. The cable is now in trunking over ground and the internet service was severed. You have said it will take yet another on-site engineer to fix the connection and left me without a connection for the week - until an engineer is available. You have, however, paid £100 towards the cost of the alternative internet provider. Your logic was £30 for data (on a #GiffGaff SIM card which I chose) and £70 for a dongle. I bought a £120 4G modem for external use that connects directly to my #Unifi switch on WAN2, bypassing your hub altogether and giving a connection back to my whole house rather than just one computer with a USB port. Given it's taken since November to bury this cable, I'm not convinced tomorrow's engineer will be able to fix the connection or bury the cable. We will see how the day unfolds. Your contact centre staff all aim to be very helpful, and your service (when it's working) does provide a decent connection most of the time, but your implementation is lacking.
-
Anthony Beds 🇬🇩 (@AnthonyBeds) reported@virginmedia let me get this straight you have a chat bot that never works just sends you in loops also cannot contact a human agent, need to change V6 boxes to V60 but impossible because virgin media is uncontactable
-
Samina Masood (@Samina_masood3) reported@virginmedia we’ve had complete loss of internet since 2/5/26 due to broken cable, yet no proper fix or technician visit despite repeated promises. Instead, you sent someone to “clean router” & logged it as speed issue not total outage. It is unacceptable. Plz resolve urgently
-
Kathleen McCabe (@Kathlee69436088) reported@VirginMediaIE Workmen were digging outside last week (the same place as once before when they severed the virgin media line). Since then, our Internet service quality has been fluctuating with very low service at times. Working from home. Can you assist please?
-
Nottmsteve 🇬🇧 (@nottmsteve) reportedHad an appt this pm for @virginmedia to come for this phone line transfer. It's bad enough that they want a 5hr window, even worse when they don't show up. Went to lodge a complaint but tells me I'm not the a/c holder. It's been in my name for over 30 years! I'm not best pleased
-
louanne smith (@louanne67210968) reported@virginmedia are you having problems in Dh47ln area my internet hub will not connect so we have had no internet this afternoon I’ve tried to reset it with no luck
-
RogerSmithUpInThisBitch (@JustAnAlienOk) reported@virginmedia WiFi has been slow for the past few days. The app is constantly showing that there is an issue with Virgin in my area. Today it isn’t working at all. How long does it take to sort out? The weekend is coming up and no wifi 🙄
-
H ꙩlly 🌙 (@gh0stmachinexo) reported@virginmedia shocking service, I’ve tried to contact today as my broadband has been down since last night I’ve done all the steps and there is no way to book a service call. App says no issues then I do a test and it says intermittent issues please get this fixed !!!

Dr. Paul J. Sullivan (@DrPJSullivan) reported@_HadleyGamble @virginmedia A common "customer service" complaint across many companies. Poor service is expected these days.
