  • Stephen12857059
    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

  • Rob_Hicks
    W1NGNUT (@Rob_Hicks) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Doesn't matter now, we've terminated the contract and joined Three home broadband. I just think it's disgusting that a customer of over 10 years doesn't get offered a deal as good as a new customer.

    @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

  • Stephen12857059
    Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    Once again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

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

    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.

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Another fail. I've reached out in exasperation since my chase-ups of 14th, 19th and today have been ignored. As have my 5 messages to your local rep who promised to be on hand. If you can't be bothered to help me, I'll just escalate via another route @richardbranson

    @virginmedia They are merely stating it is an “inconsistent fault” No explanation as to why and what is being done to resolve the problem

    @TempletonPeckJr @thetimes Oh, I remember that. Took up a free offer with the Times. The hoops I had to jump through to cancel it. Second only to Virgin Media.

    Tony Davies (@Davies20Tony) reported

    @SwanGirlH @virginmedia Im having the same issues Hayley. Spoke to Virgin today and tried a factory reset but to no avail. Got a technician coming out to try and sort it tomorrow.

    @DigBipper188 @LiveFastSimp @miaaowing In the EU I get 30GB included, and there’s international minutes in my plan anyways. Just data that’s the issue outside the EU. Also O2 in my area was garbage last time I tried it, was on a virgin media contract so experienced both before and after the VMO2 merger. Then again, haven’t touched it since 2022.

    Roy Cadge (@RoyCadge) reported

    @virginmedia Try no, I don't have time for your company anymore! Had a hour call and as the person did like me saying come back with a better offer they hung up on me! Not very good customer service team! Now removed me from all your systems! Do not hold my data anymore!

    Craig (@Scrumpyjackfan) reported

    After 25 years with @virginmedia it’s time to say 👋. Relocating your customer services to SE Asia a few years back was a stupid move, I have wasted hours waiting and talking to your reps. Even now I must do the leg work to find a better deal. You should be phoning me to keep me.
