  • james_e_grant James (@james_e_grant) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’m looking to cancel my contract with you, but I refuse to be placed on hold for an indefinite amount of time and your website appears to be broken/designed by idiots so I can’t easily find what I want. Can you help me sort this out please?

  • MartinClarke165 Martin Clarke (@MartinClarke165) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why are you so bad!! I pay for a service and pretty much everyday my broadband drops. Each mid morning it goes off and tonight whilst watching the Villa. #poorcustomerservice

  • Jod_69 Jo (@Jod_69) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia well this is just brilliant. Having WiFi problems trying to log into my virgin media to find out what’s happening. Error message saying I have no internet connection so can’t log me in

  • TheRusse11a Matt Russell (@TheRusse11a) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I managed to fix it by d/l the app again last night. Thank you.

  • matttdudley Matt Dudley (@matttdudley) reported from Dudley, England

    @vmbusinesshelp DON'T BUY VIRGIN MEDIA!!!! 2nd outage of the week. No responsibility or money back. I will be moving my business broadband elsewhere after speaking to OFCOM. #Useless #Shocking #avoid

  • EverSoSlightlyy Lewis (@EverSoSlightlyy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Nope; as above I have just been sabotaged and sent a ‘booster’ for the signal I don’t receive anyway. And now you are trying to charge me even more for the privilege; despite already paying 37 which is enough for the 220mb package with a free phone sim, while getting 50 :)

  • CannedWildlife Adam O'Hare 🏳️‍🌈 💚 (@CannedWildlife) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi MH, broadband / Internet in B31 and B45 of Birmingham, has been very terrible. Now, it is just up to those who are responsible, to fix this issue, plus to be open & honest... Cheers, Mr. A. O'Hare

  • StarryUK Mark Starr (@StarryUK) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hi Virgin have been waiting for your customer services dept to speak to me on chat for over 8.5 hours after I was passed to them. Absolutely shocking customer service

  • EverSoSlightlyy Lewis (@EverSoSlightlyy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia I will do both; what’s the number for technical support; will try one last time 🙃

  • AJhyphenCSdotUK AJComputerServicesUK (@AJhyphenCSdotUK) reported from Birmingham, England

    I will definitely be ending my TV Contract with #VirginMedia at the earliest opportunity, I am sick to death of watching stupid adverts on #DiscoveryTV Channels and it’s the same ones every damn time! If the #TLC Channel didn’t exist then it wouldn’t be so bad! 🤬

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia So sick of not being able to watch catch up or on demand, did everything that I was supposed to after reading message even though I shouldn’t have to, now it has stopped working again, been unavailable for 30 plus days out of last 37!! #help

  • matttdudley Matt Dudley (@matttdudley) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia No but the automated message at customer services says there's an outage. How can this keep happening?

  • Brummie_Girl julie (@Brummie_Girl) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia morning. Are their broadband issues in B31 again? Mine’s constantly going down this morning. Colleague also the same in Solihull. Website says no issues but that’s not reliable.

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    So apparently @virginmedia have been trying to contact me about my complaint. 🤔 however no missed calls or voice messages from them. #Virgindontliedothey

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia the company that doesn’t give a **** about your complaint. Can’t be bothered to resolve your complaint and provides no avenue to complain.

  • victortebbit jason jones (@victortebbit) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia The '**** of back to America'. 😱

  • Nparanoid nimrod x (@Nparanoid) reported from Solihull, England

  • NtotheHizzo Oshom Bob (@NtotheHizzo) reported

    @Gunnerzak @virginmedia I didn't like Virgin at all, Internet speed was so bad. Also had the TV package with them and I hated the interface. Who are you going with now?

  • craigieuk Stuart Craig (@craigieuk) reported

    @virginmedia 1/2 In October last year we had to leave our home due to a flooding incident and move to a rental property while repairs were carried out. We transferred existing services from home to rental, and took a new basic broadband contract for home. Now we are moving back and want to

  • Evestradiol Sorceress Ultimessia. (@Evestradiol) reported

    @virginmedia On restart, the initial ranging request fails. We've checked the wires/hardware, so guess it might be an internal fault, something outside the house, or a wider problem.

  • DisleyAndy Andy Disley (@DisleyAndy) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t call 789 as my phone won’t connect to virgin out here, and I cannot use another network as Iv hit my spend cap.. is there an email address that will actually work to resolve this

  • Evestradiol Sorceress Ultimessia. (@Evestradiol) reported

    @virginmedia Holy heck, could I ask the Service Status is updated accordingly at least? Also, could I ask what the nature of the outage, if it'll take that long? Is it likely to be consistently down between now and the 11th? As we both work from home (one in software dev), it'll help a lot

  • dullthings aiden clark (@dullthings) reported

    @virginmedia Do virgin just change people's contracts without their consent on a regular basis now? I need someone to call me asap to get this whole farce fixed as I'm being scammed out of money for a service I can't even use.

  • somepepeshit John (@somepepeshit) reported

    @virginmedia I need someone to contact me about my upcoming connection. New customer and I have to say it's been a shambolic experience already. Not a clue what's going on. Password reset by god knows who on the phone 2 weeks ago and still it's not working to get in

  • kels186 kelly bass (@kels186) reported

    @virginmedia Its not working. Can we go On wats app? Keep trying takes me to a new chat nland won't let me enter my name.. Says invalid

  • LaGazzaLadra Fiona (@LaGazzaLadra) reported

    @virginmedia All those links are for Virgin Media customers. Is the postal option the only way to raise a complaint without an account number? The webform requires a sign-in and the phone number requires account information

  • Evestradiol Sorceress Ultimessia. (@Evestradiol) reported

    @virginmedia Still the same as my first message. The Service Status Check for the area reports no issue. However, the connection check for the Hub does report an issue in the postcode area, but says nothing further. Trying to figure out the contradiction.
