  • andrewanthony83 Andrew Anthony (@andrewanthony83) reported from Codsall, England

    @SuperfastStaffs please let @virginmedia lay their cables in #Bilbrook and #Codsall we need proper #fibre broadband. We are being left behind with the copper solution that @WeAreOpenreach leave us with and it’s getting worse! @south_staffs @GavinWilliamson @StaffordshireCC

  • terrysankey Terry Sankey (@terrysankey) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @SimonADouglas @virginmedia We have the occasional internet problem but since the last announced 'update' the hub seems to be resetting itself. Doesn't matter to the 'wired' machines but obviously disconnects the WiFi! Irritating as the restart times are long and inputting the names/password is a pain 🙄

  • DickyDodd Dicky Dodd (@DickyDodd) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    So I've been on hold to @virginmedia Customer retentions for 17 minutes... Unreal.

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

    @virginmedia It’s media. I have sent off the details to change account holder name and heard nothing back it has been over 2 weeks, can’t get anywhere when i contact your call centre. I need a change to our services and need support with this

  • GeorgieMaley Georgie Colley (@GeorgieMaley) reported from Kidderminster, England

    Why can’t media providers just get into the 21st century and make it easier for households, by having contracts based on a joint accounts. That way, both home owners can call up about any problems! Data protection my arse @virginmedia @SkyUK

  • ArcanumDesign Bill Bishop (@ArcanumDesign) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia Tom, I already have, and they refused to match the same cost when the introductory offer finishes. You are still over charging me £125 p.a. for being an existing customer. Please have a UK customer manager contact me

  • wthirskgaskill W. J. Thirsk-Gaskill (@wthirskgaskill) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Please concentrate on getting up the noses of broadband customers, and stop running shit trains, and suing the NHS for money that was never yours in the first place.

  • DickyDodd Dicky Dodd (@DickyDodd) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    Now holding for 20 minutes @virginmedia Customer retention department obviously trying a different tactic to keep me as a customer I've been with this company since 1997 and this how I have to be treated.

  • DickyDodd Dicky Dodd (@DickyDodd) reported from Trysull, England

    @virginmedia media retentions and I got cut off and no call back. Ambismal customer service.

  • HJMKent Howard Martin (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia Yes but I just tells me there are no problems. It did the same thing a few weeks ago but stopped when I held wifi button down - it's now constantly flashing & that wont stop it & web site says in normal operating all green lights should be off.

  • Wolvesblogger Nathan Lloyd (@Wolvesblogger) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Cheers for the top. Yes, tv & broadband services issues with an estimated fix time of 23:55. I may have to crack open the Scrabble & the candles. Now I know how people felt in the black outs during the war!

  • DarranAttwell Darran Attwell (@DarranAttwell) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia can someone help me with a bill... I’ve been charged twice for the same bill both times overcharged. And I’m struggling over the phone.. can someone please DM me please

  • GTAssociates GTAssociates (@GTAssociates) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia Media Services,. We have always passed security and never had this issue before!

  • DickyDodd Dicky Dodd (@DickyDodd) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia You seem to find it very easy to let go a loyal customer of 23 years. You won't be that sad.

  • Plumberguyuk Mike Hamer (@Plumberguyuk) reported from Birmingham, England

    Virgin Media should be reported to the advertising standards, for lies, what a total load of crap, try getting your customer service telling the truth for a start .

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

    @virginmedia do you have broadband issues in #Solihull as the service appears to have gone down. According to your service status page tho there aren't any issues 🤔 I beg to differ!

  • SammyLouisee_ sammy♥ (@SammyLouisee_) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    So after having problems with @virginmedia mobile decided to join @ThreeUK let’s hope this is a better network 🙌🏻

    @newschambers @virginmedia you employee this man, please contact me to cancel my Virgin Media package

  • Ddavied84 David Dunphy (@Ddavied84) reported

    @virginmedia 3 x 1 hour phonecalls later only to be told on customer service that they can't send a new horizon box and control, because of faults with the service they provide and I pay for.. Very dissatisfied custumer

  • Sacha1008 Sacha Chadee (@Sacha1008) reported

    @virginmedia This has been done, so no point really in doing it again and again, you told me to do the test and run etc test and if that doesnt fix it it coule be the router box, so why not try change the router and see from there. Thank you

  • out4zero out4zero (@out4zero) reported

    @virginmedia why do you lie so much about your services? Broadband been down in Peterborough since 9:20 am this morning 7/7 and you told the media it would be back up by 10:30, infact it says 10:30 tomorrow 8/7 here, working from home and you are getting annoying.

  • Anyamnr Anya (@Anyamnr) reported

    @virginmedia I need to set up forwarding calls on my phone but it says there's a network error every time I try - any suggestions?

  • KevinJAbbott Kevin Abbott (@KevinJAbbott) reported

    @ThomassKirk @virginmedia Thankfully I still have a SkyQ box in contract until August. It can only receive standard channels but I can get ITV. However it's embarrassing that I'm relying on Sky to watch my @virginmedia TV! I suppose you get what you pay for and Virgin was cheaper for a reason. It's ****!

  • PauItommo ᴾᴬᴮᴸᴼ (@PauItommo) reported

    You’re ******* horrible you @virginmedia

  • Diamondmarydoll Mary Brogan (@Diamondmarydoll) reported from Glenmavis, Scotland

    @virginmedia since I can't get onto the Internet to check fault status and I'm scrambling to use my phones data because my signal is ****. Fault status in ML6 please?

  • kayldavenport kaley 🏁 (@kayldavenport) reported

    @Daniel_990990 @virginmedia I’m in a dead zone in my house- so that would be the same issue!

  • mylifeinwordsuk Lee-Mc (@mylifeinwordsuk) reported

    @virginmedia “No known issues” which seems to be the standard even when you do have issues with the speed
