    @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

  • stumccullagh

    @virginmedia I’m meant to be on a webcall about my TV that doesn’t work can anyone help me please?

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

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.

    Rubbish network is @virginmedia can't recommend to anyone one of the worst customer service

  • AdieJAMster
    Adie Hughes (@AdieJAMster) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

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

    Any news on outages in B37? Also how do I get compensation for loss of svcs (inc my TV not working properly since September) @virginmedia

  • nealesj
    Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia Dear ‘RP,’ I find your tone unacceptable. I don’t care how many times you’ve had to repeat the statement; customers are paying for a service they’ve not been getting, so dial down your level of obnoxiousness please.

  • mrmjprice
    MJP - mastodonapp.uk/@mrmjprice (@mrmjprice) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Think we need to call an engineer out anyways, before the outage I was only getting 600mbps max when my package is the 1Gig.

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

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps for @virginmedia Broadband 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?

  • HJMKent
    Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!

  • MartinWilko
    Martin Wilkinson (@MartinWilko) reported from Birmingham, England

    Virginmedia down Sutton Coldfield. National outage . Their website down, unable to report status. No reports or statements from Virgin media. Price rise of 13.8% #VirginMediaoutage @virginmedia

    @virginmedia It took me best part of a day Friday 24/3/2023 to contact you to cancel my broadband but since I finally managed to you have been contacting me 4 times a day. We have signed a contract with someone else. Please stop harassing us we have cancelled

  • ReissOmari

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

  • NewtonAndy
    Andy Newton (@NewtonAndy) reported from Dudley, England

    @Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

  • 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.

    @Benleo @virginmedia They told you that you have to buy a 2 year contract in order for them to fix their own cable, and you believed them? 🤪

  • Rough_Shuffle
    Rough Shuffle 🔀 (@Rough_Shuffle) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I recently had to contact them. Their CS is the worst ever experienced. It's like it's ran entirely by 12 year olds on work experience. I'm horrified at how bad it is. Initially contacted because of a litany of f'ups on their part. CS seems completely dethatched from the company.

    @Benleo @SenseiBear44 @virginmedia They are awful !! I ditched them years ago for the most awful customer service !

  • RobLawler840229
    Rob Lawler (@RobLawler840229) reported

    @virginmedia had no service since the 13th May and just been told that the problem won’t be fixed until the 26th May after being pushed back from the 20th do I qualify for the auto compensation ??

  • NigelXYYMan
    Nigel XYY man (@NigelXYYMan) reported

    @Benleo It's a long time since I was on virgin media. They had just taken over from ntlworld. It used to annoy me that they could never get TV, broadband and phone working together at the same time.

  • Frantique4
    Frantique- Starmer's dad made a Tool. Vote Reform. (@Frantique4) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Virgin cancelled one of my email addresses (low usage). They won't admit they did. I'd already paid a techie to sort 'my' problem. He also phones them on my behalf because I don't understand their lovely accents when I do it. Still no email & no word from Virgin despite promises.

  • DaveWW1877
    Dave (@DaveWW1877) reported

    @virginmedia The biggest joke of a company when it comes to Customer Service, absolutely disgraceful the way the treat customers Had a complaint on going since the 30th March and they still can’t get it right to resolve even after speaking with a Senior Complaints Manager. 😡

    @TonyDabell @mark_wootten @virginmedia I agree , I’m with virgin media they are the worst company , they offer nothing to their loyal customers .

    @virginmedia @DisneyPlusUK Serious trust issues with this company. Commitments were not fulfilled, and statements were inconsistent. Information provided by different representatives contradicted each other. Considering alternative companies is strongly advised.
