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

    @virginmedia Is there an email address I can use instead? I can just tell them the address and send the photos and explain the problem. They turn up whenever and fix it (its on the street, so no one needs to be home) I’ve taped up the lower parts, but up higher it is hanging over a shop sign.

  • Tommm_Currie LOLZ N TING (@Tommm_Currie) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia 6mbps download speed at the moment when ive upgraded to 350mbps... this is ridiculous, constant problems and advertising as the fasted.. and being told on your website that I need to wait 24 hours before you'll even look into booking an engineer..

  • jodii_ox Jodie (@jodii_ox) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia The internet is completely down, tried numerous restarts from the mains

  • Linnyjolz62 Lynn Jolly (@Linnyjolz62) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Held on for 45 mins on Friday and today. Was told there were "communication issues" on Friday and the guy I was speaking to said he'd call me back straightaway on my landline. He didn't. I tried again today to be told they couldn't access the system and that I should call again.

  • adtatton Andrew Tatton 🔰 #GlazersOut 🔰 (@adtatton) reported from Wythall, England

    @virginmedia poor doesn’t come anywhere near the description needed for the service you provide for a long term customer who simply needs the OLD Superhub 2ac router replacing. I simply need a replacement sent quickly but must wait for an engineer on Tuesday 4th January.

  • JackieScott_ Jackie Scott (@JackieScott_) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia where do I send a complaint to make sure I'm heard rather than repeatedly disconnected? #Frustration

  • PrinciplePhoto Ian Dunn (@PrinciplePhoto) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Waited 1 hour online for the agent. Then she disconnected me. Absolutely awful service.

  • jadebcx jade (@jadebcx) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why would my router be red lighting if the internet is fine? i read online it means there’s an error with my connection but there isn’t any problem 🥴

  • jodii_ox Jodie (@jodii_ox) reported from Birmingham, England

    Hi @virginmedia, according to your website there’s no broad band issues in the B23 area but there definitely is 🙃

  • AshokWhybother Ashok Patel (@AshokWhybother) reported from Birmingham, England

  • BaggieBirdd66 ✿𝘓𝘢𝘥𝘺𝘑𝘢𝘪✿💙🤍🌟 (@BaggieBirdd66) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hi I need some help please. I need a box installed at my address and I'm hard of hearing so I find it difficult to use the phone. Is there any way I can book a engineer appointment online as that is easier for me. Thanks

    @virginmedia I tried to call your call centre to speak to some person, trying to make a complaint and check if we can resolve it somehow, but your line is busy. I really need this resolving quick please.

  • MarcelBloodwor1 Marcel Bloodworth (@MarcelBloodwor1) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I want to leave for several reasons 1. Your customer services are non existent 2. You have doubled my bill 3. I can’t get hold of anyone to talk this through 4. The broadband continually trips out and I can’t get hold of anyone to discuss this either

  • PaulAdamczuk Paul Adamczuk (@PaulAdamczuk) reported

    @virginmedia I’m experiencing very poor broadband speed today in Greenbank Edinburgh, are there any know issues?

  • herringtonlewis Dr Lewis Herrington (@herringtonlewis) reported

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to cancel my account before the deadline when I can’t get through to your call centre and there is no email address to write to you? Can I send you a letter by post to cancel my broadband?

  • BoneGyn Dr.Bone R.S. OB/GYN I Created MMDMA in"96" Ret.Vet (@BoneGyn) reported

    @kingmacinchina @Zoompad @virginmedia I Had The Same Problem w/ Comcast Here Paying For a 175 Connection and Only Getting on Avg.30 At Best 50.. I Told Them I Will Be Suing Them For My Time Trying to Resolve Their Over Billing & Not Getting Close to What I Paid For.. My Rate $500 per Hr. I Told Them Before Hand !

  • sunnym321 SUNNY M (@sunnym321) reported

    @virginmedia Bear in mind this was an incident that happened in 2015/2016. It was 2016 where I received a letter of apology. Still it hasn't been removed from my credit history. Can you appreciate my frustration?

  • demontoy22 Demontoy (@demontoy22) reported

    @virginmedia your tech support is seriously the worst around, they clearly had no intention of listening to the issue I had and just wanted me to pay more for my package instead of fixing my broadband!

  • jushardwrote jushardwrote (@jushardwrote) reported

    @virginmedia tried to get through to your customer service team but the phone lines have been giving the message "our lines are busy, call back later" for the past three days? Are you no longer accepting calls?

  • jnlangton joseph langton (@jnlangton) reported

    @peltonboy @virginmedia its shite when it goes down

  • bentmdesign Ben Theobald-Morgan (@bentmdesign) reported

    @virginmedia I've just been on hold for 45+ minutes just for someone to pick the phone up and put it straight down!!!! Furious is an understatement and when I try to ring back I get an automated 'We are very busy at the moment try again later' Not acceptable!
