  • StuJonesMusic Stu Jones (@StuJonesMusic) reported from Kidderminster, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I am in Kidderminster, Worcestershire (DY11) and my Virgin Media broadband connection is very poor this week. I have checked your website & apparently there are no issues in my area. I have also restated my access point/router twice but no improvement.

  • OpiniatedOne1 Pretentious Opinions (@OpiniatedOne1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

  • jfrncs_ John (@jfrncs_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

  • _shannonC shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia haha you mean the same forum where they didn’t answer me for days last time, and they didn’t resolve anything???? waste of time. they told me to check the speed and check for area issues. absolutely awful customer service when i’ve been complaining about this for WEEKS now.

  • shelleex5 Shelly (@shelleex5) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia red button not working again!! @skytv, does yours work? #FedUp missing baggies after my shift 😪

  • MariannexS Marianne Sommerville 🌻 (@MariannexS) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia red button for the football not working again. @SkySports

  • chrispsaras Chris Psaras (@chrispsaras) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia no broadband since yesterday afternoon, told engineers were on route but still no update. Your offshore call centre is also unhelpful and not able to offer any further information. Please can you help?

  • ReissOmari Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m getting around 80mpbs now, should be 350 though, when I try and test it says there’s a problem in the area, but no further information

  • JMEden_97 James (@JMEden_97) reported from Solihull, England

    I hate VirginMedia me getting stupid little lag spikes

  • stumccullagh Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia TV completely down this morning ,it’s been intermittent since September nobody helps me just fobbed off. Who is the ombudsman over you I can complain to? I’m no longer prepared to keep paying for services I’m not getting.

  • stumccullagh Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia hi I’ve had an ongoing complaint since September, I’ve had an email to contact yourselves but the phone number is getting me nowhere , is there another way of contacting the complaints dept?

  • ReissOmari Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s on both WiFi and wired. At this present moment I’m unable to get ANY network from the router on both.

  • ReissOmari Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Fed up of these “intermittent” problems with my @virginmedia broadband.

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  • ReissOmari Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps a month for @virginmedia for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area??

  • stumccullagh Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    Had problems with my TV since September now can’t get any live football or movies @virginmedia

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline your ability to deliver equipment is shocking!!! The customer service you provide is even worse!!!

  • HJMKent Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!

  • _shannonC shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported from Solihull, England

    @LenFPS @virginmedia they don’t care. it only happens 7pm onwards but will happen until the next morning so I can’t stream or anything. and they’re telling me to write on a forum as if that will fix it😤

  • melodiouscode melodiouscode (@melodiouscode) reported

    . @virginmedia your customer service staff really are a joke. Instructing me to factory reset my hub for the third time this week "to reset my account" due to internet dropouts. Staff need to be taught basics of how systems work; sync failures in logs indicate a downstream issue.

  • Truthseeker_925 Truth seeker (@Truthseeker_925) reported

    @virginmedia Just outside our house virgin engineer was at the box n he said I should call n get new hub as many neighborhood got same issue.

  • ChrissyMcCouid Christina McCouid (@ChrissyMcCouid) reported

    @virginmedia Why is it impossible to reset a password for myvirginmedia? Can I get some help please, don't have time to sit for hours on hold when ringing.

  • rachbutcher Rachel Butcher (@rachbutcher) reported

    @virginmedia I've spoken to someone on chat but I felt like I was talking to an automated response service rather than someone who understood my concerns. I still don't understand why Virgin sold me an installation slot they knew they didn't have local authority permission for.

  • PunkDavy TwitchyDavy (@PunkDavy) reported

    @virginmedia I put a complaint forward last week and was told a manager would contact me within 48 hours still waiting..

  • katiee_ll Katie ✨ (@katiee_ll) reported

    @virginmedia Because the wifi doesn’t reach upstairs in a semi detached house. She said there was an issue that she could see. You are sending an engineer tomorrow so I hope it will be resolved.

  • jo55adams jo (@jo55adams) reported

    @virginmedia is virgin service down in brighton ?

  • dodon100 donnaharrison (@dodon100) reported

    @virginmedia To install broadband/phone/TV following a move, has now spent 2 nights without means to contact anyone if help needed.

  • melodiouscode melodiouscode (@melodiouscode) reported

    @virginmedia So rather than address the childish behaviour of your staff you suggest a customer go and post on forums. Do I get a discount for providing my own customer service?!

  • 59_dai dave wall 🦈💯💙 (@59_dai) reported
