  • tahmehtay Tahmehtay (@tahmehtay) reported from Birmingham, England

    In addition to the cost of a new home that I have to furnish fully top to bottom, @virginmedia is trying to charge me £240 exit fee when THEY don't supply the new address. This is seriously getting me down. I can't even afford necessities.

  • jenstait Jens Tait. (@jenstait) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    So yet again another WiFi problem with @virginmedia in #wolverhampton and expected connection fix at 1:03am. Right... so how am I going to work now ?! 😡

  • RoyKyffin Roy Kyffin (@RoyKyffin) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi web page not working when IMEI put in and confirm button selected. Nothing happens.

  • Jonesy2310 Chris Jones (@Jonesy2310) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It was an issue other people i. The area also on @virginmedia as well. Your initial troubleshooting script to question my connection speaks volumes though

  • RoyKyffin Roy Kyffin (@RoyKyffin) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nokia 2.3 isn't on the drop-down box

  • jaward916 Jonathan Ward (@jaward916) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Yup, seems your systems have issues so the poor chap's calling me back later!

  • tahmehtay Tahmehtay (@tahmehtay) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia seems to supply only just above half of the country, but if you change address to an area they don't supply YOU have to pay £240 exit fee. Do not use them if you can't see into the future and know for sure that you will never move. Insane!

  • RoyKyffin Roy Kyffin (@RoyKyffin) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, why does my 4g signal drop to H when I have or use voice call? Never used to happen when you were tied in with EE. Internet settings are correct. Thanks

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Well done @virginmedia screwed up again.. even on an online chat when it is written down infront of you you end up removing elements of my package I have specifically asked you to keep on 😡 it would be nice to have one good experience with you. How do I log a complaint?

  • king_body_art King Of Ink Land ® (@king_body_art) reported from Birmingham, England

    @shannonkeatingx @virginmedia Guessing you tweeted them after there closing hours. Ring them up make an official complaint this is an error that many fall short off. Plus you have the option of switching. @richardbranson name dragged through mud with these telecoms business

  • travellingcoral Coral Musgrave 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇳🇴 (@travellingcoral) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @ThatLyndsey @priddy @virginmedia We sent it as advised as a tracked delivery with proof of postage. That's why it's £11. And they're charging £10 admin fee to disconnect our phone line. Absolutely shambolic service. #utilitywarehouse

  • brumadam Adam (@brumadam) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hi, since we’ve upgraded to 1gb and hub 4 we’ve had problems connecting @Tesla M3 to WiFi. Advised the Plume mesh might fix it and we can receive FOC but been out of stock all year it seems. Any idea when they might be back in stock to try and fix our issues please?

  • jaward916 Jonathan Ward (@jaward916) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Morning! So I checked the app for status and was fine, but on the website it said known issue all services. So I subscribed to the SMS alerts and it was "back" at 22:03. Hopefully it stays that way!

  • blaster1966 blaster66 (@blaster1966) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia All OK now but didn't have any service for 12 hours

  • andyjuk Andrew Jones (@andyjuk) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia can I request someone from your UK customer services makes contact with me being as I feel like one of your Indian agents has lied to me and another has accused me of trying it on.

  • JohnBroadbent3 JohnB (@JohnBroadbent3) reported from Birmingham, England

  • mankyplaysgames twitch.tv/MankyPlaysGames (@mankyplaysgames) reported

    @virginmedia The email was a second new contract email since we’ve moved. The first change kept my monthly payment at the same £45 as before, and today’s email tells me that after my install, it will “settle down” to £77 a month.

  • p_neale1 Paul Andrew Neale (@p_neale1) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin-you’ve done it again-since your failure to instal on 4/5 I have been in daily contact-I’m told that the work will be done on that day and I will be contacted-IT NEVER HAPPENS-I have no internet now &just received a text to say you’re putting me back to 31/5-unacceptable 🤬
