  • angelalhorton Angela Horton (@angelalhorton) reported from Birmingham, England

    @UK_Jenny @virginmedia Dreadful service!

  • StarryUK Mark Starr (@StarryUK) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hi Virgin have been waiting for your customer services dept to speak to me on chat for over 8.5 hours after I was passed to them. Absolutely shocking customer service

  • Mindful_Chat Emily Davies (@Mindful_Chat) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Ok I did that a optimised then signal. So I will give that a go for now and hopefully it won’t kick me out again. I though it was the online meeting platform but it happened across multiple sites (teams, Skype etc...)

  • Steveluckett Stephen Luckett (@Steveluckett) reported from Codsall, England

    So @virginmedia @virginhelp I have spoken to the webchat who told me to call the helpdesk. Helpdesk have told me to write a letter. WILL ANYONE HELP ME!??? I will write to Rachel Barrass but not going to really help when the debt collectors arrive.

  • songbirdeee Songbirdeee 🦁 (@songbirdeee) reported from Tamworth District, England

    So #VirginMedia I report a fault this morning, you say repaired by 6pm. 7pm I called as still not working despite txt/email says fixed. 50 mins of listening to music then, "the other person has cleared" Really don't like being lied to. Not good enough, valued customer, my arse!

  • georgiarec28 Georgia (@georgiarec28) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia bit annoyed at the service I’m receiving. I am trying to speak to someone about an order which is “parked” says someone will be in touch but no one has been? Can’t find an online chat and phone I give up being on hold!!!

  • robbiederby Robin Palmer (@robbiederby) reported from Birmingham, England

    First impressions of @VodafoneUK #5G... Underwhelming and somehow still slower than @virginmedia's #4G (in B15). With Vodafone downloading at just 40Mbps and Virgin Mobile coming in at 70Mbps. So to summarise. Slow to roll out, and slower than 4G when it does appear. Not good.

  • KarenPerry7 *KP* (@KarenPerry7) reported from Willenhall, England

    Disgusting customer service as per usual from @virginmedia again. #disgracefull #terribleservice

  • omarqureshi Omar Qureshi (@omarqureshi) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia looks like there is an outage in the B24 area for broadband.

  • jpkesseler JP (@jpkesseler) reported from Birmingham, England

    It came back on for about 15 minutes, then went LOLZ jk c ya. I really love this service, we're definitely going to stay with Virgin Media when the contract is up. LOLZ jk c ya.

  • ReissOmari Gordé 🥀🖤 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Jake_Morris_ @virginmedia @PushDoctor I just find it crap that I'd have to do that in a small apartment you knowww

  • Steveluckett Stephen Luckett (@Steveluckett) reported from Codsall, England

    @virginmedia do you have anyone I can physically go and see about a complaint as this has reached new levels of terrible service!?

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

    @virginmedia I’m afraid my patience has worn thin on my complaint. I have now emailed the CEO of Virgin Media.

  • Brummie_Girl julie (@Brummie_Girl) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia morning. Are their broadband issues in B31 again? Mine’s constantly going down this morning. Colleague also the same in Solihull. Website says no issues but that’s not reliable.

  • Darkbluebaggie Doug Grant (@Darkbluebaggie) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia It wasn’t me it was my sister. She spent 3hrs 10 minutes on the phone to customer services and still didn’t get her issue sorted. Its not great customer service really, oh well.

  • Tom12956152 Tom (@Tom12956152) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia is there any connection issues In the Solihull area?

  • Jod_69 Jo (@Jod_69) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia well this is just brilliant. Having WiFi problems trying to log into my virgin media to find out what’s happening. Error message saying I have no internet connection so can’t log me in

  • victortebbit jason jones (@victortebbit) reported from Birmingham, England

  • carlhunter86 Hunter51 (@carlhunter86) reported

    @virginmedia hi I need to cancel my package but it wint let me do it online and no one is picking up? Please advise. Thanks

  • Oddsy1 Adrian Odds (@Oddsy1) reported

    @virginmedia making you aware that we've just had a landline phishing attempt to gain remote access to fix a fake security problem 'with our IP address'. Very believable - might be worth putting out a 'be aware' notice to customers

  • MrKenShabby John Rain (@MrKenShabby) reported

    @virginmedia Yesterday, but before that you had someone call me, who then cut me off. I would like a new router ASAP, or I will cancel and go elsewhere.

  • DJWebber Daniel J Webber (@DJWebber) reported

    @virginmedia And we’ve just had a letter to say that our bill is increasing - what for a service this poor? #audacity #absolutejoke

  • derekstone83 derek stone (@derekstone83) reported

    @virginmedia all phone lines down cannot contact you? then receive a letter about my prices going up to provide a great service lol can someone advise how i speak to someone when your lines are down?

  • LMervz MPE (@LMervz) reported

    @virginmedia how long is your line busy? I’ve tried to call numerous times in different hours to try and pay my bill but I can’t get contact with you at all! Our internet has been taken down because of this

  • ajltucker アダムです '¯\_(ツ)_/¯' 🇬🇧↔️🇯🇵 💙 (@ajltucker) reported

    @virginmedia any issues in the Frome area, getting very intermittent broadband connectivity at the moment!

  • Redone81154723 Redone (@Redone81154723) reported

    @ClaireWhit794 @WiJayWhelan @virginmedia I know top quality service for only € 29.99 DM for more details

  • Priyesh2003 Priyesh Patel (@Priyesh2003) reported

    @virginmedia I can't seem to call customer services from my landlines or mobile. Do you have another number I can call?

  • tedborrow Wendy Hall (@tedborrow) reported

    @virginmedia Wait 50 minutes to get through then you get cut off. I appreciate your busy but surely there’s an easier way to just cancel my account than waiting on a phone! It’s a shame you can’t just provide a decent service then I wouldn’t be dealing with this incompetent ****
