  • Linnyjolz62 Lynn Jolly (@Linnyjolz62) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Held on for 45 mins on Friday and today. Was told there were "communication issues" on Friday and the guy I was speaking to said he'd call me back straightaway on my landline. He didn't. I tried again today to be told they couldn't access the system and that I should call again.

  • BaggieBirdd66 ✿𝘓𝘢𝘥𝘺𝘑𝘢𝘪✿💙🤍🌟 (@BaggieBirdd66) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hi I need some help please. I need a box installed at my address and I'm hard of hearing so I find it difficult to use the phone. Is there any way I can book a engineer appointment online as that is easier for me. Thanks

    @virginmedia I have a persistent broadband issue and can't contact customer support via the web site #help

  • pedrofouruk Pedro Oliveira (@pedrofouruk) reported from Birmingham, England

    I wanted to cancel my contract with @virginmedia but no ones answering the calls.. terrible costumer service. @MartinSLewis @virginmedia

  • adtatton Andrew Tatton 🔰 #GlazersOut 🔰 (@adtatton) reported from Wythall, England

    @virginmedia poor doesn’t come anywhere near the description needed for the service you provide for a long term customer who simply needs the OLD Superhub 2ac router replacing. I simply need a replacement sent quickly but must wait for an engineer on Tuesday 4th January.

  • SummayahMuslima For my Family🖤 (@SummayahMuslima) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia the Internet this covid lockdown xmas holiday has been appalling, service is terrible @VMSolutions_

  • Tommm_Currie LOLZ N TING (@Tommm_Currie) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia 6mbps download speed at the moment when ive upgraded to 350mbps... this is ridiculous, constant problems and advertising as the fasted.. and being told on your website that I need to wait 24 hours before you'll even look into booking an engineer..

  • jodii_ox Jodie (@jodii_ox) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia The internet is completely down, tried numerous restarts from the mains

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Is there an email address I can use instead? I can just tell them the address and send the photos and explain the problem. They turn up whenever and fix it (its on the street, so no one needs to be home) I’ve taped up the lower parts, but up higher it is hanging over a shop sign.

  • jodii_ox Jodie (@jodii_ox) reported from Birmingham, England

    Hi @virginmedia, according to your website there’s no broad band issues in the B23 area but there definitely is 🙃

  • PhatSuppliUK PhatSuppliUK (@PhatSuppliUK) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Wow and your team just hung up on me as well Wow shocking behaviour How can I expand on an issue you are meant to look into?you told us it was a cable issue, you said you'd send someone to fix it You never did I'm sick of broken internet

  • PrinciplePhoto Ian Dunn (@PrinciplePhoto) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Waited 1 hour online for the agent. Then she disconnected me. Absolutely awful service.

  • JackieScott_ Jackie Scott (@JackieScott_) reported from Dudley, England

  • nick1geo nicos georgiou (@nick1geo) reported

    @ediz1975 @virginmedia They are bad !!! Always issues with them

  • gbrux Gillian (@gbrux) reported

    @virginmedia Trying your fix but it keeps saying incorrect password! Checked and double checked it is definitely correct

  • ollieread ollieread (@ollieread) reported

    @vmbusinesshelp @vmbusiness Turns out, the email was an automated mistake. Though I now need one, because there's no vm access point on the property, something your staff refused to believe me about. This has been an utterly terrible experience, and I will now have no connection to work with.

  • amydingwall1 Amy Dingwall (@amydingwall1) reported

    @virginmedia No known issues for broadband but known TV issues. WiFi has come back on however very slow, connections buffering often. Seems to be a lot of road works outside and I am concerned this may have something to do with it.

  • susanhconsult Susan Harrison (@susanhconsult) reported

    @virginmedia Yes we check the status page regularly. For more than a week it has said there are network issues."This issue is caused by interference on our network impacting multiple customers in your area." When can I expect a resolution?

  • NemoCheswick g (@NemoCheswick) reported

    Virgin Media shouldn’t even be able to call themselves internet providers It never even works

  • imybashir Imran Bashir (@imybashir) reported

    @virginmedia internet down since yesterday around 7pm. Still no idea when it will be fixed. Can’t get hold of customer service. This is the second time this has happened in a month or so. Extremely disappointed, I think it’s time to start looking for another internet provider.

  • abbyklake abbyk (@abbyklake) reported

    @virginmedia @chillmanchilly Your service status online is never accurate - service is down in kingston yet it says area is fine...obviously not

  • Carolyna_S Carolyna (@Carolyna_S) reported

    @virginmedia I have just got off the phone and was advised to keep my WiFi switched off my smart TV as a solution to the connection issues. I just had my connection drop three times In a 30min zoom call this morning, I had two engineers out I’ve had a new modem and nothing has fixed it

  • iamscorchy iamscorchy (@iamscorchy) reported

    @virginmedia its crazy how bad virgin media has been the last couple of weeks having nothing but connection issues how am i meant to get anything done!
