  • RoyKyffin Roy Kyffin (@RoyKyffin) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, why does my 4g signal drop to H when I have or use voice call? Never used to happen when you were tied in with EE. Internet settings are correct. Thanks

  • chadlymasterson Chad Masters (@chadlymasterson) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @m1kewh1te83 Well you see i have asked multiple times for a replacement HUB and told i was not allowed a HUB 4 unless i bought your 1Gbps service. Now why would i buy that if your current services are down regularly and wont replace my hub? Twice in the same week it has been down!!

  • RoyKyffin Roy Kyffin (@RoyKyffin) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi web page not working when IMEI put in and confirm button selected. Nothing happens.

  • SwannTara Tara-Louise Swann (@SwannTara) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia for 3 days now after 9pm internet keeps dropping, keep having to reset the hub 4 in the last hour it has occurred 4 times, run tests no issues in the area apparently yet on local fb group loads of people having same issue in B24 Birmingham !

  • Pedro_661 Pedro661™ (@Pedro_661) reported from Wednesfield, England

    Yaaaaaay @virginmedia is down again 👏👏 managed to provide a stable service for a week.

  • james_h_kerr James Kerr (@james_h_kerr) reported from Studley, England

    @KRIPTO99 @virginmedia I’m currently surveying my village on our local Facebook group. Loads of people having the same issue, but nothing coming up as a ‘known network issue’. I agree - it’s making working from home challenging.

  • jaward916 Jonathan Ward (@jaward916) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Morning! So I checked the app for status and was fine, but on the website it said known issue all services. So I subscribed to the SMS alerts and it was "back" at 22:03. Hopefully it stays that way!

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ThreeUKSupport hi. My mobile number starts with 07305. It originally was issued by @virginmedia. I’ve had some companies try to call me (including the landline where I work) saying calls to this number can’t be connected or the number isn’t available. Is there an easy fix?

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Well done @virginmedia screwed up again.. even on an online chat when it is written down infront of you you end up removing elements of my package I have specifically asked you to keep on 😡 it would be nice to have one good experience with you. How do I log a complaint?

  • shannxnj Shannon Johnson (@shannxnj) reported from Birmingham, England

    Tried to submit a complaint form to get in touch as your team have been so slow in responding. How can I get this resolved? @virginmedia

  • andyjuk Andrew Jones (@andyjuk) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia can I request someone from your UK customer services makes contact with me being as I feel like one of your Indian agents has lied to me and another has accused me of trying it on.

  • Jonesy2310 Chris Jones (@Jonesy2310) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It was an issue other people i. The area also on @virginmedia as well. Your initial troubleshooting script to question my connection speaks volumes though

  • blaster1966 blaster66 (@blaster1966) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia All OK now but didn't have any service for 12 hours

  • chadlymasterson Chad Masters (@chadlymasterson) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia so how many times do i need to contact customer support about my router to be eligible for a new one ?

  • JohnBroadbent3 JohnB (@JohnBroadbent3) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia another taste of shocking service from VM Internet down costing us big money on the phone for over an hour and then cut us off.

  • stevejones88 Steven 'STIG' Jones (@stevejones88) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia after 3.5hrs on the phone to your teams in every country from around the world today with horrendous customer service, can I get a phone number for a manager or complaints department in ENGLAND. Already filed complaint with communications ombudsman for Ofcom.

  • chadlymasterson Chad Masters (@chadlymasterson) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Superhub 3.0 , it has been giving me grief for years, and had dns / ip resolving issues and so many others. All fixed with a hard reset, don’t wanna be resetting my router constantly

  • JohnBroadbent3 JohnB (@JohnBroadbent3) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @vmbusiness What's the betting VM blame covid for pathetic support

  • Lrshaw1 Lrshaw (@Lrshaw1) reported

    @virginmedia @Theban Ridiculous / almost impossible to get in touch. Complaint lodged 1 Dec , I phone call unresolved failed to send booster failed engineer check failed call back - no number to call - can’t wait to get this to ombudsman - **** service massive cost

  • Al74lan baloowho54🇬🇧➡️55 (@Al74lan) reported

    So the last @virginmedia person hung up on me when I asked, calmly and politely to speak to a line manager! Terrible customer service... The worst!🤬

  • destiny2Help Jack J Mcnamara (@destiny2Help) reported

    @virginmedia when will this problem be fixed ? Iv’e had no internet for a solid 9 hours now surely it’ll be back online soon ?

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate that, however, this is not the first time and I'm guessing it won't be the last. Praying a lot of money for a service that doesn't work!

  • RioNFFC Rio (@RioNFFC) reported

    @virginmedia No it isn’t! Where’s best to report it? We had an engineer out a couple of months ago who advised no issues but into day 3 of continuous no WiFi now.

  • elliotduck Elliot Duck (@elliotduck) reported

    @virginmedia just moved house and closed all bills online no problem. Even the council made it easy online. You’re the only account that forces me to call up. On top of that you tell me the wait time is an hour long. I’m obviously just going to cancel the direct debit ?!

  • melon_h Helen Rimmer 🔶️ (@melon_h) reported

    @virginmedia I am sure you are but a sorry, an understanding of the impact this is having on people isolated from their families, trying to WFH and going into Christmas seemingly with the prospect of no Internet or TV. We want to connect with family who are alone but can't. Comms has been bad

  • ashleyhannan_ Ashley Hannan (@ashleyhannan_) reported

    @virginmedia Wired to the incorrect property and despite the first engineer saying all I’d need to was plug in after the work was done your customer service staff, after 2 hours of being put on hold and hung up on multiple times after getting through told me there was nothing to do but wait..

  • Preet1_SB • Preetisb• (@Preet1_SB) reported

    @bsinghvtd @virginmedia Omg thats bad...fixed yet?

  • Kayls3457 Kayleigh Speakman (@Kayls3457) reported from Abram, England

    @virginmedia After weeks of a landline service being non-existent I was assured this would be fixed yesterday, it's not! Vulnerable isolating person relies on this to keep in touch and in emergencies. Not good enough yet again. Fed up of feeling fobbed off!
