  • mdebyoungpeople Made By Young People (@mdebyoungpeople) reported from Birmingham, England

  • Nijran1973 Sundeep Nijran (@Nijran1973) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia have charged me for services I’ve not received and now want more money to disconnect something that never worked

  • TimEvans1503 Tim Evans (@TimEvans1503) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia is there a reason why when I’m working from home with so much to that involves internet access including online meetings that yet again your service is not working in B36? This is happening so often it is ridiculous

  • TimEvans1503 Tim Evans (@TimEvans1503) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia To be honest this happens too often then often our speeds are not what we pay for. I work from home so costs me business when this happens. Rather then getting me to check things, I just need yo-yo to provide us with a regular consistent service at the speeds we actually pay for

  • PM_PaulMartin Paul Martin (@PM_PaulMartin) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Tring to get a cable moved you’ve been out and said next day that was over a month ago WTF?

  • Baggielee80 Lee Greenhouse (@Baggielee80) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia very poor service with the broadband cutting out every so often having to keep rebooting the box frankly not good enough for over £60 a month. Can you sort it out please. B62 area

  • Arty_Mikey Arty Mikey Illustration (@Arty_Mikey) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia your broadband SUCKS. It's no wonder a local FB community group is full of people asking for suggestions for better internet providers.

  • buckotb Michael 'Buck' Maris (@buckotb) reported

    Hey @virginmedia I keep trying to cancel my broadband & your workers keep hanging up on me. I’d say the phone was cutting out, but it’s happened 3 times & no one has called me back on each occasion. This is not on!!

  • WendyNicholas1 Wendy Nicholas (@WendyNicholas1) reported

    @virginmedia Will that work the same as the 17 months of or 18 month contract that we haven't had WiFi working 24/7 The fact it can cut out 5 or 6 times an hour but we are told it is not an issue as it is not all the time One engineer told us the system logged 360+ drop outs in a week

  • SlimNasty2013 Slim Gaming (@SlimNasty2013) reported

    I think I'm done now until MID May when I can get a proper supplier as I can't keep continuing on with the Piss Poor Service that @virginmedia thinks is acceptable for almost a month now. Going to look into taking them to court and suing for loss of earnings now.

  • MrFlefner Joe Stephens (@MrFlefner) reported

    @virginmedia First request was submitted yesterday (sunday) around midday after I had been on to support for an hour.

  • tweet_pee Pee (@tweet_pee) reported

    @virginmedia I will… but it’s not good enough! The service is constantly dropping out and you haven’t bothered to send an engineer to investigate!

  • apipe23 adam pipe (@apipe23) reported

    @virginmedia Said no issues. Can’t access PlayStation online due to no internet even thou we have the booster pod as an additional extra. Only item that works is my smart tv which is Ethernet cabled into the modem.

  • FunkyCheeze FunkyCheeze514 (@FunkyCheeze) reported

    @virginmedia why is your service so poor? I keep getting disconnected, my.internet has been unstable for over a week now. With the black out last week and now this ongoing situation I honestly don't know why I am paying for your garbage service.

  • mikewiow MikeW (@mikewiow) reported

    @virginmedia YesI did….& no, I received no replies when service resumed 🙄 WHY are you having such difficulty? WHAT caused such an extended outage, presumably for many of your customers? WHY do you not treat customers better?

  • LovedayAlison Alison Loveday (@LovedayAlison) reported

    @virginmedia Day 8 of service cutting in and out..

  • gilbodyd Daniel Gilbody (@gilbodyd) reported

    @virginmedia The number calling me is a different one each time. Always a U.K. landline number with a “special offer” from virgin media. I was a mobile and bband customer until May22 and been taking these calls ever since then every few days despite multiple requests to be forgotten
