    @Cee_langie8852 @virginmedia Yes, they are useless. No service most of yesterday and as of 0530 this morning, no service again. I’ve spent hours waiting to get through to the technical team. It’s time @ofcom got involved.

  • chrispicken Chris Picken (@chrispicken) reported from Wolverhampton, England

  • Tedtalks13 Teds (@Tedtalks13) reported from Aldridge, England

    @ukhomeoffice @BrandonLewis ive one all this in my investigation to the fraud in court tht has a fraud log failed by @ThamesVP; via EE and well virgin media refused to co operate: fraud is easy to catches frombasic start of internet "the signal" for any signal to connect it has to have data communication

  • markhipwell1990 Mark Hipwell (@markhipwell1990) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia So now I have to ring to cancel because that's too much or give you a chance to fix the price. Both take time out of my day when we only did this less then 2 months ago.

  • thephdrunner Dr Emma Neachell (@thephdrunner) reported from Birmingham, England

    @BFILeigh @virginmedia @SkyUK I don’t know you but Virgin Media as a company are so bad they look Sky look amazing. If you can cancel and find an alternative I’d do it.

  • thephdrunner Dr Emma Neachell (@thephdrunner) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’m getting an access denied error message. A quick google suggests this is a common issue.

  • DixeyBaker Sharon Baker (@DixeyBaker) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia trying to get some help with my router and I'm on hold for 20 mins then get cut off - no chat facility available and no email help - rather frustrating !

  • PRBloke Clive Reeves (@PRBloke) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Lionbites @virginmedia @SkyUK You’re very picky. We had no broadband service from @virginmedia yesterday morning and no phone yesterday evening. 20 minutes to answer a phone call. I think they’re all challenged for customer service

  • DixeyBaker Sharon Baker (@DixeyBaker) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for replying! The green light keeps flashing which its never done - we had an outage in B14 yesterday- my internet is working and we have rebooted but its still flashing

  • Griffomiester Stuart (@Griffomiester) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia Have a word with yourself, this has been going on for 12 months. How about you send an engineer to fix once and for all

  • Chrisf2016 Chris fletcher (@Chrisf2016) reported from Wednesfield, England

    So @virginmedia are increasing our bill again. We've been loyal customers since it was telewest even with all the problems over the years we stuck with you Well thats it. I will be finding another supplier 👋👋👋

  • malcolmwhittak2 Malcolm Whittaker (@malcolmwhittak2) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM We are currently moving house and trying to cancel our account unfortunately the call agents think it's funny to keep a client on the phone for 3 hours even more so they are happy to direct us to a department that is closed which terminates a call.

  • tfd1977 trev1874 (@tfd1977) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia on hold listening to crap music for hour then disconnected on hold again for 30 mins now anyone working in faults tonight

  • philwowski Philky (@philwowski) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia been on hold to cs for 20+ minutes. No tv service. Intermittent service for the last 4/5 weeks. I just want to watch tv. I pay £100s /yr and yet not getting the service expected. I think I will have to contact Sky for a comparison sad after 15 years

  • Kagey_infohub Kate Gordon (@Kagey_infohub) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia I'll check, but slow connection and frequent drop is ongoing. We looked at switching but didn't move as not enough confidence in alternative ISPs tbh.

  • malcolmwhittak2 Malcolm Whittaker (@malcolmwhittak2) reported from Birmingham, England

    @jwhitt1970 @virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM Hi Joe Virgin Media and Mr Mockridge think about money in the bank, Customer service isn't on the agenda, it feels like authorised theft as all the time and effort on the phone is time lost with no evidence relating to performance. #CustomerService

  • thephdrunner Dr Emma Neachell (@thephdrunner) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia B744LG my neighbour is also having issues. Internet keeps dropping out so there’s clearly some sort of intermittent fault. I’ve wasted 45 mins on the phone trying to report it.

  • Kimbohud 🇬🇧Kimbo🇬🇧 (@Kimbohud) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I have received a further two or three calls, following the request to remove one of the V boxes to save me some money, offering me different packages as a ‘loyal’ customer which would be costing me more! #youcouldntmakeitup 🙄

  • Kagey_infohub Kate Gordon (@Kagey_infohub) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Not sure tbh- it took at least 2 hours for the update to complete. Our connection frequently drops and is slow.

  • TheLizAinslie Liz Ainslie (@TheLizAinslie) reported

    @virginmedia So your normal number where no one seems to help and hang up on us when we ask to speak to a manager as per the escalation info on your website? I'm asking for the number of someone who can actually help, please.

  • TremainRoss Ross Tremain (@TremainRoss) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing was told to wait till 7 pm before calling customer service which were closed. now it looks like its not happening as nothing is booked my options are to leave and pay to leave my contract early

  • bunsey73 Nigel Turner (@bunsey73) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Webmail doesn’t work at all. I never use it but the last email from it is dated 2020. How do I find out my webmail password? I’ve just reset it again and the Mac email account still says it doesn’t recognise it

  • Carolinefizzy1 Caroline (@Carolinefizzy1) reported

    @virginmedia Point again: No service, no timeline to sort it, no urgency and no clue = virgin

  • dragonsangel01 Angel (@dragonsangel01) reported

    @virginmedia Morning, I never checked because children channels were working so I didn’t need to check.

  • Kelz_dc_cfc Kelz (@Kelz_dc_cfc) reported

    @virginmedia My volt benefit was added then the bill went up. All 5 people I have spoken to has said it should be 89. They all promise me it's sorted with a rolling credit on my account of 10.75 but never happens. My step dad is going to ring tomorrow because I'm fed up with it

  • RLM789 rlm (@RLM789) reported

    @virginmedia My complaint was sent to the manager so regardless of where Martin is, the manager was meant to contact me. Look into my complaint and get in contact. This is unacceptable service

  • Gboystyle Grant (@Gboystyle) reported

    @virginmedia Where to start! Moved house, virgin missed the installation date, then rescheduled, engineer didn’t do install correctly, acct not active, called support 7 times!! Still not working… I can see why virgin is losing customers! Rather awful service…

  • bozcroz Paul Crossley (@bozcroz) reported

  • NeilClarke1975 Neil Clarke (@NeilClarke1975) reported

    @virginmedia Believe me, it is all you hear, o2 sim thrust down your throat m actually all your deals online refer to it and bundle it in when you don't want it. There is simply not a deal you have for us. It is so disappointing after 16 years that you want to double our price. @skytv help!
