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

    @virginmedia Yes it does. Apparently there is a known issue in the area and it won’t be fixed until 12 tonight. This is not good enough

  • BrimmellDen Den Brimmell (@BrimmellDen) reported from Wednesfield, England

    So glad we dumped #virginmedia 18 months ago,they’re hopeless & their customer service is non-existent!

  • rogj82 Roger James (@rogj82) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia 1/2 - I have never know such a disgusting company!! Having answered a call last week from this number 0345 454 1098 (your retentions), where your employee rudely cut me off when I said I could’nt talk at the time, hounded every day since with calls, right up until...

  • JoDtw Jo Darby (@JoDtw) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia There isn't a fault. It's never been particularly good.

  • AmritPahal Amrit Pahal (@AmritPahal) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia absolutely pathetic service, trying to run a business that relies on taking cards payments,I switched to you for the secureness of the line over fibre, since I’ve switched I’ve had more down time than standard internet! Callled up told nothing can be done until 9am!!

  • mercede72928186 Mercedes Hodson (@mercede72928186) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @virginmedia hi Iv no internet could you run a check down my line please

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

    @virginmedia Yes tried that and just called ur CS centre. Once again the person who took the call couldn’t care less. This is the 2nd time this month it’s gone down without any explanation or compensation

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

    @virginmedia having problems again with the internet. Apparently your app says it’s fine. It’s not. Sort it out.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia There is no weak signal. I’ve checked all around the house repeatedly. There are no faults in the area. I have checked repeatedly. Customer services have been unhelpful on multiple calls. Had to fight to get an upgraded hub!

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

    @virginmedia It’s not a good enough response. You’re providing a sub bar service and yet I’m still paying my bill in full. I expect a discount until the matter is resolved.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No. It’s usually just one of the connected devices we lose at a time. Most often speakers but sometimes security cameras, sometimes hue bulbs. Never everything at once.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes, security cameras, nest heating, hue bulbs. Less frequently. But still happens. Everything works for a while then something or several things stop. Never everything. We have entirely re-set everything once, which takes hours to sort and is not an answer.

  • mercede72928186 Mercedes Hodson (@mercede72928186) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @virginmedia Was on wireless and re booted the box didn’t work, however it’s working now as you seemed to have fixed the issue. Thank you

  • theblackstrat THEBLACKSTRAT (@theblackstrat) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Why do you have to continually restart the phone to get rid of the red icon on The phone app icon even when you’ve deleted the voicemail It seems this is a major problem with you I would appreciate you resolving it all as otherwise the phone is not fit for purpose

  • rogj82 Roger James (@rogj82) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia 2/2- just when my wife answered the phone and your employee told her to f**k off when she politely declined any new deals or offers! Absolutely digusting, glad to be leaving and fair to say if that is how you treat customers of 11 years in total we will never be back

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

    If my internet goes down again in the next hour @virginmedia I'm voting Labour!!!!!!

  • mercede72928186 Mercedes Hodson (@mercede72928186) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @Ord_Norm_Bloke Yes Virgin media Wi-Fi is a bit crap I agree

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Literally three years of the same inconsistency. And appalling customer service when you speak to anyone. There is nothing you have done or will do to improve this. As soon as I can get a decent speed from another local company I’ll be gone.

  • Patchwork_Boy Craig Whitehouse (@Patchwork_Boy) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Hi, my internet is down. The connection (arrows) symbol is flashing and have been since about 3am. Tried restarting router, didn't fix it. Advice, please.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia The link you provide is entirely not the problem. We’ve had the same issue for 2 years. It doesn’t stop being a problem. And every time we contact someone about it, we get the same advice because there’s no continuation. Please read the message chain if you’re going to reply.

  • Lilbeth14 Beth Probert (@Lilbeth14) reported

    @virginmedia How can I speak to someone about an issue I'm facing? None of your phone lines work...try to "stay connected" with your customers!!

  • humzaay Humza Aasim Yusuf (@humzaay) reported

    @virginmedia I can't seem to get through to anyone on the phone (was on hold for 45 mins) and can't solve my broadband account problem online - how do I get in touch with someone from your team?

  • BewitchedBB Clare Leybourne (@BewitchedBB) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, I’ll do that - any advice as to how I can get some help with the general conncectivity and the unstable connection? I’ve tried and tried to get through on phone and the chat service doesn’t do that. My zoom lesson this morning was a disaster!

  • xMcMurderface Ruth Dingley (@xMcMurderface) reported

    @virginmedia Help! My WiFi is not working and we really need this for homeschooling and work today. I rebooted the Hub but WiFi is not visible and we cannot connect to it. I'm in the G21 postcode, area 28. TV and broadband works fine. Only the WiFi is affected

  • SophLW Sophie Wilson (@SophLW) reported

    @virginmedia trying to get through to your customer service but keeps saying cannot connect call. Should be getting 200mbps but I’m legit only getting 7.6-20mbps wtf

  • Flaminhaystack Antonia (@Flaminhaystack) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia I've had engineers round from Virgin media on several occasions. Once I had no Internet for weeks because the engineer wired up the connection to the wrong house outside and I didn't even get a refund for the lack of service.

  • Nicola21678132 Nicola (@Nicola21678132) reported

    @virginmedia I also get no wifi signal in my kitchen or son’s bedroom anymore which I used to get. This isn’t a recent problem, this has happened over the last 3 months. The whole service seems to be getting poorer
