    Craig📱 (@iCraigt) reported from Kenilworth, England

    @virginmedia I appreciate the first line of support have a standard checklist they need to run through but when the customer has tried all of those things already and is able to very technically articulate the issue, just being told to try again isn't helpful. Not your problem, I appreciate.

  • MJ_Lorimer
    MJ (@MJ_Lorimer) reported from Birmingham, England

    Thanks @virginmedia for renewing my contract for 12 months and then downgrading me and I loose all my HD channels! Your service is poor and unacceptable #virginmedia

  • iCraigt
    Craig📱 (@iCraigt) reported from Kenilworth, England

    @virginmedia The router is also reverting to default settings every time I reboot it which sounds like a fault to me. Can I request a new and very latest direct replacement (I have SH 3 which had this annoying chipset issue so if there is something with a broadcomm chipset that would be best)

  • MJ_Lorimer
    MJ (@MJ_Lorimer) reported from Birmingham, England

    I also can’t get anyone to help resolve this as “your closed” apparently @virginmedia

  • MidlandsSBM
    Matthew Clements-Wheeler (@MidlandsSBM) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Shocking bad. We booked our old address to run until the 7th March and paid for a new account to start today at the house we are moving into so my disabled wife was not without internet.

  • JillyBrum
    Jillybrum (@JillyBrum) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Phone and TV down in B24 area, wondering if the power cut immediately before was due to work you’re doing.

  • AlexWelsby
    Alex Welsby (@AlexWelsby) reported from Warwickshire, England

    @virginmedia Still unable to get through and cancel. Please can you fulfill this request online

  • MidlandsSBM
    Matthew Clements-Wheeler (@MidlandsSBM) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia not pleased at all with your service. Despite three confirmation calls from you to me confirm what we needed, you have still not handled our house move correctly

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

    @MingSwift The TV service is great but if we can’t rely on our WiFi in a connected home, it’s not worth it. Have made a complaint. If they don’t offer an upgraded hub (which they’ve not before) and compensation/reduced bill (gone up by £14 since Sept), we’ll be gone. @virginmedia

  • Sammykins9486
    Samantha (@Sammykins9486) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Tried the chat everyday for the past 5 days and it is not working. Due to recent changes with someone at household moving out I do not need the landline anymore,and wanted to discuss my options as I do not want to pay monthly for a service I am not using

  • Schoey08
    Pete Schofield (@Schoey08) reported from Coventry, England

    @virginmedia yep that’s right Virgin Media not working again. Seriously what am I paying for

  • MidlandsSBM
    Matthew Clements-Wheeler (@MidlandsSBM) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia You disabled our old address so I am now having to move my wife’s business computer and records at 10pm at night to the new address so she can work tomorrow. Your customer service agents haven’t got my name right once and you have mucked up provision of equipment at the new place

  • Mitz__P
    Mitesh Parmar (@Mitz__P) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia why can't I take advantage of the Full House Sports Bundle... So what if I'm a existing customer, you've got me by the ***** anyway with the broadband. May as well just cancel and go elsewhere

  • HelenD132
    Sarah Duncombe (@HelenD132) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia No broadband service, apparently. Status checker says everything is fine, but I'm not convinced. Could I DM my postcode please.

  • jenkin99
    jen (@jenkin99) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Ive called you customer service department to be hung up on temwicw, i have sent an email to yourselfs and via resolver had no response. I have a health and safety issue i want resolving

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

    And once again we are unable to use our @virginmedia wifi. When I called customer services today they took nearly 10min to answer, asked the same basic questions repeatedly and then cut me off without even starting to resolve anything! Bloody useless. Issues since May 2018.

  • ikonic_exposure
    Daniel Sturley (@ikonic_exposure) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia What would really help is a separate sales number to call and to speak with an agent straight away with no ‘system’ to navigate and who understands my disability and can help me to sign up if I want to :~}

  • GullyPlays
    Ben (@GullyPlays) reported from Birmingham, England

    I’m sick of my internet going down for half a day every week. Should get something for the inconvenience. @virginmedia

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

    @squelchuk @MingSwift @virginmedia We have a good box. That took long enough to get upgraded. I would try a superhub3… but I want a signal that gets around the house too, as well as reliability!

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

    @virginmedia Repeatedly over several years. Get the same response each time. Nothing changes long term. I see from checks online that other people have the same issues so I’m now planning on leaving.

    Statutory weekly **** connection from @virginmedia

    Roy Kyffin (@RoyKyffin) reported

    @virginmedia Hi just been out of house, signal strength checked outside house and about 1/2 mile away still not full signal

  • AimOshin
    Amy Oshin (@AimOshin) reported

    @virginmedia I raised it I think 17th Feb due to a long list of being misinformed,wrong equipment turning up,the right equipment not being sent & then not being able to activate the box when it eventually did arrive.This resulted in many hours being spent on the phone and still no resolution!

  • imedwest
    Ed West (@imedwest) reported

    @virginmedia No they have no explanation other than upgrading works in the area (although it doesn’t come up with any issues when I search my postcode on the website). It’s been down for 5 straight days now. I’ve only just joined virgin so extremely disappointing that I’ve made wrong decision

  • LaurenceBraith1
    Laurence Braithwaite (@LaurenceBraith1) reported

    Broadband down every 20 minutes on average. Utterly unacceptable service from @virginmedia again who think the problem is our WiFi 🤔 #BeHonest

  • Fran_RDG
    Francesca Fogell (@Fran_RDG) reported

    @virginmedia are you going to respond to my request for help? I've been a customer for over 8 years. I just want to speak to someone about my account. I've now been waiting for a reply to my tweets for 30 mins

  • Fran_RDG
    Francesca Fogell (@Fran_RDG) reported

    @virginmedia You should be able to find this broken link, it appears when I try to set /recover a new password after entering my surname and account number.

  • gingerbiglove
    ricky ginger biglove (@gingerbiglove) reported

    @virginmedia That 0345 is the same as I called yesterday. Not much help.

  • pauldgoodman11
    Paul Goodman (@pauldgoodman11) reported

    @virginmedia Sean in the customer team says there is no temporary solution, noone that I can speak and it has 48 hours

  • easton_85
    David Easton (@easton_85) reported

    @virginmedia No. Multi emails and had no reply. Got told you had sent a follow up in the form of a letter which we never received. Why a letter would be sent after sending emails I don't know. Seems a convenient way for a complaint to be "forgotten about".
