  • sophiemorbey morble (@sophiemorbey) reported from Birmingham, England

    Within 24 hours of me ringing @virginmedia, we’re up and running with broadband (it’s also dead fast, bonus) 👏🏼 If anyone is considering @NOWTV for internet, PLEASE don’t bother. They are honestly the worst provider I’ve ever come across.

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

    @BeefGolf @virginmedia @MartinSLewis They are awful.

  • ADaveWard David Ward (@ADaveWard) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    Thanks for the reply @virginmedia but in your instructions following your system check on your site it states you will be sending a signal to my hub to improve something. Nowhere does it date for me to do a pinhole reset. So which is correct because you need to correct something

  • Aaliya_UK Aaliya (@Aaliya_UK) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Not officially complained as hoped it would be resolved due to repeated reassurances I’ve had! Shouldn’t have to log a complaint for your error (verified by your engineers)! Cost of GP Partner husband (&my) time far exceeds cost of line rental we are paying for no landline!

  • JamieEveriss . JAY! (@JamieEveriss) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia can you please advise how I’m able to log a complaint?

  • Davidjocksmith David smith (@Davidjocksmith) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia your poor service is killing me, internet comes on for 10 minutes every hour, causing chaos at home now with all the family not able to study or for me to work.😞

    @virginmedia Come back home from work and all services are down again.... 2 days in a row...reported the issue... couldnt speak to a person... robot told me to wait 10 minutes and my problems will be fixed.... let's see what happens John

  • kittykatrollins Helen Rollins (@kittykatrollins) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hi. Trying to get through to you but permanently met with an automated voice. Please can someone contact me. We’ve been having broadband issues for a long time. tried to log into the hub but it says someone else is already logged in. We really need support from you.

  • abbiewx_xo Abbie Walters (@abbiewx_xo) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia Any advice on why our virgin media boxes have just decided to stop showing some channels. It says error code (W02) and this is on TLC which we used to watch daily?? Joke. What’s the point in paying for for a service which isn’t being provided?

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @Phlebian @Truthisaperspe1 @virginmedia If you go to there website and type in your postcode it states if there are issues in the area. I am aware of how to report issues and how to check for them without making contact, when call always same response of the script they have in front of them. No human aspect to the cal

  • Aaliya_UK Aaliya (@Aaliya_UK) reported from Birmingham, England

    Had v patchy internet, when @virginmedia resolved it in April, they connected the wrong cable, cutting off our landline for pt calls (mobile blackspot) Numerous promises frm managers @virginmedia & “urgent service requests” since. Last engineer visited yest. Still not resolved😡

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia There are known issues in my area. Apparently 2 days in a row at, what i would imagine, are peak times. I seriously need to consider a new provider. This is getting beyond a joke for the money that I pay

  • Mossymossy3 Danny Moss (@Mossymossy3) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia your customer service is the worst I have ever encountered, I have been transferred 9 times and no resolution, utter joke , I will be cancelling all my services with you. What a disgrace

  • MartinClarke165 Martin Clarke (@MartinClarke165) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia are the worst I’ve known them in 15 yrs! I’ve had no tv for the last few days and an engineer coming in a week! Really! Also have an outstanding contract issue since March 23rd. Promised call back by managers but never comes. Avoid them!!

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @virginmedia Back up and running but disruption in service and recorded programmes. With the amount of issues I've had since being with you, not once do I get an apology or money back for service I cant use

  • Davidjocksmith David smith (@Davidjocksmith) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No, it’s terrible

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

  • hotly5 Ian Holt 5️⃣💙 (@hotly5) reported

    @virginmedia Hi.I’ve looked at the code of conduct but this doesn’t tell me what your SLA’s are for Priority 1 issues which I’m sure this incident is classed as? From the website, I’m told nothing other than an engineer is on the way!Shouldnt one have been there since 6am?

  • CosminBucataru1 Cosmin Bucataru (@CosminBucataru1) reported

    @virginmedia I took your advice and called the number youve provided. Had an engineer coming on 3rd of December and couldn’t fix the issue. Guess what the operator said that the issue is marked as fixed on the account. Absolute joke of a customer service. I have proof now to take you to court

  • Neil_Rivelino Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia my V6 boxes have stopped communicating with each other (in reality downstairs is talking to upstairs but not vice-verse). Anyone who can help?

  • DanielAmesYT Daniel (@DanielAmesYT) reported

    @Terenceprice95 @virginmedia you'll be waiting a whole year for Virgin Media to fix something lol

  • alex_elleman Alex Elleman (@alex_elleman) reported

    I’ve never had the worst customer service from anyone in my life until @virginmedia today from their UK department. Abysmal when I’m trying to upgrade my contract.

  • BrockleyS4 sian (@BrockleyS4) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. It says no issues but all connections have been checked and there is no internet

  • Terenceprice95 Terence Price (@Terenceprice95) reported

    @virginmedia is there any update for the Internet for WA9 in St Helens? Are they still trying to fix it or has it been left until the morning for repairs to continue?

  • Kirsty_Wilks26 Kirsty Wilkinson (@Kirsty_Wilks26) reported

    No #Ashes on @SkyCricket remind me again what I pay my subscription for? #Poor I think I may very well be giving @virginmedia a call in the morning! Not a happy bunny.

  • tutankjon 🦊😠🤬😈 (@tutankjon) reported

    @virginmedia Spoke to someone.. Still got problems since upgrade works the signal dose not cover where my cctv cameras are now.. It seems like a Virgin turning down the signal boost scam to me..

  • MrJackkb Jack (@MrJackkb) reported

    @virginmedia recently had your service connected. I didn't realise the person who reffered me could of got cashback. I only joined due to my mom's feedback, shame if she misses out. Is there a way this can be sorted?
