    @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.

    @virginmedia i logged another complaint 1 to 2 weeks prior and heard nothing back. i was advised by cust service a month ago not to log a formal complaint and log an internal complaint instead

    3 weeks now with limited TV yet still paying over £100 a month for svcs I’m not getting , I’m fobbed off on the phone that engineers are working on the issues , they’re clearly not can someone reimburse me @virginmedia

  • AntonyHowlett
    Antony Howlett (@AntonyHowlett) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ChristineAllado @virginmedia I keep having this problem every week and nothing ever gets done and all you get back is we can't find a fault

  • 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 the most unreliable service going! Sky should be rubbing their hands together knowing that this shower of **** is their main competition.

    @virginmedia We had issuse with our service, and was told we would need new cables. We the new cables installed. They left cabels hanging in the garden which has since been removed. Our grass is ruined (I have photos) it looks like next doors cable are also under or grass????

    Robin 🤘🏻 (@RobinB1971) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia signed up for your new broadband and still waiting for the stuff to arrive. Apparently parcel is still at @YodelOnline main hub. This is the SECOND day I've cancelled things and waited for it to arrive as yet to no avail. WTF is going on!?! 🤬

    @Ian66232919 @virginmedia @02 have been awful and the reception is non existent, especially any where near Villa Park. May as well not take my phone out.

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

    @virginmedia I’m going to but I know I won’t get anywhere anyway the customer never gets anywhere

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

    @Ofcom can I complain about @virginmedia to yourselves? Had no TV service for nearly a month with no help.

  • _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.

  • steveblyth
    Stephen Blyth (@steveblyth) reported from Stockingford, England

    I don’t mind joining the cacophony confirming @virginmedia is down. Maybe it’s linked to their space program going bankrupt. #VirginMediaoutage

    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.

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

    @virginmedia The TV goes all distorted I’ve done webchats phone calls the lot nothing has been resolved was told it was a problem in the area , neighbours have had no issues happened still have issues now but not as often but it’s a bit annoying esp when I’ve not had any money off

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

    @virginmedia The ideal resolution would have been for VM to return the document as originally promised. We have dealt with other companies in this regard and all have been prompt and professional. Even the DWP accepted a photocopy of the POA. Why VM couldn't is entirely beyond me.

  • scbadham
    Scott badham (@scbadham) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia really disappointed in the service lately all it does is keep dropping. I’ve had no Internet services for the last hour again the fourth time this week and it’s still not working

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

    @virginmedia hi I’ve had an ongoing complaint since September, I’ve had an email to contact yourselves but the phone number is getting me nowhere , is there another way of contacting the complaints dept?

  • HuntColin58
    Colin Hunt (@HuntColin58) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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

    @virginmedia shockingly bad service no broadband for over a week and no indication of when this will be fixed

  • ian_perry
    Ian Perry (@ian_perry) reported

    @virginmedia - so, you apply an update to fix Sky Sports but trying to watch any box recordings now leads to stuttering and freezing. Look up comedian Norman Collier. It's like that! What on earth do we pay our bills for? Well, it isn't customer services is it?

  • Magnoli23215778
    Magnolia’s Art (@Magnoli23215778) reported

    @CheekyVic @virginmedia 100% agreed. Every fecking month I have an engineer coming. I’ve to do a whole rigmarole to turn my tv on @Virginmedia. I need to get rid. £92 a month I pay for crap!!!

    @thetvroom Same issue on virgin media

  • RDG_C
    Richard D G Cox (rcox.bsky.social) (@RDG_C) reported

    Hello @virginmedia might you please have your legal department confirm their address for service of documents such as, for example, formal “letters before action”? It would of course have been preferable if the question had not had to be asked, but … we are where we are.

  • frankiesmith74
    Frankie Smith (@frankiesmith74) reported

    @virginmedia you have failed to install broadband at my new property as part of home move service. I have been promised engineers will attend each day for last 3 days - no sign! I’ve asked for updates - nothing! I’ve been told I’ll be contacted by Area Manager - nothing! Terrible

  • _lliesl_
    Liesl_ (@_lliesl_) reported

    This is not a *me* problem I went into an O2 store who told me that there was a known issue with the O2/Virgin media set up. I do not care. I expect to be able to access my account. I expect to be able to take the offer to change my tariff

    @virginmedia WiFi down in D2 since yesterday evening

  • StevoLaughton
    Stephen Laughton 🇺🇦 (@StevoLaughton) reported

    On a web chat with @virginmedia about my internet package renewal (because you can't talk to real people any more, right?)...at that very moment my internet access goes down...the gods are trying to tell me something, aren't they?
