  • zcobb
    Stephen Cobb, #FBPE 🇺🇦 (@zcobb) reported from Coventry, England

    I just spent about 20 minutes trying to find out why I'm getting email from @virginmedia about a SIM that I didn't order. As far as I can tell, the email is legit and Virgin is sending me, and a lot of other people, a replacement SIM "to improve service." Did I miss a memo?

  • frugalista1
    Frugalista (@frugalista1) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.

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

  • all_day_
    Mathew (@all_day_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hey guys whatever I try to play back or if I rewind live tv to play back the boxing is terrible so much so you’re unable to watch the programme. The wires are all connected fine and all other internet devices are fine. What’s the issue?

  • 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

    @virginmedia Im getting slow speeds on my broadband. My package is volt and which should be 250mbs im getting less that half of that. Please ask your team to look into this

  • CaseyRain
    Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, England

    Causing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?

  • kevmaslin
    Kev Maslin (@kevmaslin) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia your treatment of us over a Lasting Power of Attorney issue has been appalling. Your people have actually SHREDDED a document costing hundreds of pounds despite us being told it had been returned. CISAS has been invoked and your CEO will be told . @MoneyTelegraph

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Andraay
    Andraay Leung (@Andraay) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia having issues with Wi-Fi at home and your websites including the one on service status checks are not loading? As a result I can’t even report the problem.

    @virginmedia My parents TV and broadband have been down all day. My mum has been calling your customer service line all day and no-one is answering.

  • KittykatClaire
    Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    I'm so pissed off @virginmedia blackmailed me into signing my mobile contract with @O2 by saying my media account would be cheaper. If I stayed with virgin it would be amount more. So I had no option but to go with o2 and No my mobile Internet is crap. I can't use my doorbell

    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😤

  • richardcbishop
    Richard C. Bishop 🏃‍♂️ (@richardcbishop) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @Damien_Clyburn @virginmedia They're appalling. I've had business version for 10 years. BT never miss a beat. Outstanding. Get rid of them.

    @eerosupport hi. I have a Eero 6+. If I connect it to @virginmedia 1gbps service, will I get 1gbps?

  • _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.

  • rachmadmank
    Rachael Barker (@rachmadmank) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia What is the point I would like to speak to a human being shocking service Definitely will not be staying with you 4 weeks if not more with no information regarding this matter Not consideration for others

  • PolymathTim
    SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Zero Internet connectivity from @virginmedia now for pushing 12 hours. Resetting and/or powering down the hub does nothing, the diagnostic and fault tools just go round and around in an ever more boring circle. #LightningSpeedFarce

    Several videos of reckless driving remain available online, despite TikTok saying it is moving quickly to remove this type of content. Coimisiún na Meán has asked the platform for a “full account” of what has been done about material linked to the deaths of five teenage boys, after their car was driven the wrong way down the M9 motorway. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY

  • ScarlettShaw
    Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reported

    Do yourself a favour. DO NOT use the one touch switch service with @SkyUK or @virginmedia. Still paying for both for weeks. Virgin continues to bill me despite me having sent back their equipment. The whole thing is a con. Be warned. @Ofcom

  • andy_nicks60
    Andy Nicholls 🫧⚒️✝️ (@andy_nicks60) reported

    Well @virginmedia certainly have great customer service people that just feed you absolute lies about not stocking 360 boxes anymore then when they lose the argument they say you can’t have one because you’re not a new customer, and promptly end the conversation.

  • DarylCatpiss
    Mr Daryl T Catpiss (@DarylCatpiss) reported

    @virginmedia @TheAFC0522 Yeah what if I want to watch them on my big TV that I bought to watch my virgin media service on?

  • StuartFox13
    Stuart Fox (@StuartFox13) reported

    @CliveR39 @virginmedia When are virgin going to fix this problem been 7 days now couldn't watch games on red button at the weekend I pay them enough for a service I'm not receiving will I get any money back wake virgin or you will be losing my custom

  • _SonOfTheDesert
    Kaiser Soothsays (@_SonOfTheDesert) reported

    @virginmedia No. Because it’ll end up as a hard reset and we’ll lose all our recorded stuff. When are you going to bring out a box that saves content to the cloud? That way, there’d be no issue.

  • Smallworth_xx
    scfc 💙 (@Smallworth_xx) reported

    @virginmedia @TheAFC0522 Been like this since Friday so don’t act like it’s just today ? Do we get a bill reduction for numerous days without a service we pay for ?

  • stephenm68
    Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported

    @1RavC @virginmedia I’ve been without broadband for 22 days but because they know it’s an outage in our area a @virginmedia engineer has been “on their way” since 27 July. Have pursued every available line of enquiry but no information as to what the ****** is the reason for it not being fixed

  • mozzaev
    MozzaEV (@mozzaev) reported

    @virginmedia @Carolestfc1 I havelogged a complaint, as paying for service we aren't receiving from Virgin Media

  • Dmhches
    Dmh (@Dmhches) reported

    @virginmedia the fact that the red button isn’t working for sky sports on your service means you’re not providing the serving I am paying for. Please confirm I am able to exit my contract with no penalties due to this
