Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Think we need to call an engineer out anyways, before the outage I was only getting 600mbps max when my package is the 1Gig.
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?
-
Trickie Dickie (@NickHickey84) reported from Bradmore, England@virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?

Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.
-
Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England@virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, EnglandMad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps for @virginmedia Broadband for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area?

-

-
Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia I would rather have no Internet or TV than go with Virgin! Probably the worst company in the UK (and India) but hope you get no issues!
-

-
Kerrie Reid (@MrsReidteaches) reported@virginmedia @O2 I just want to speak to a real person about my locked account but can't get past the first part of automated phone service 🤬 not impressed. Who can help please?
-
Darren Seaton (@seatzie) reported@JonStone101 @virginmedia Since the o2 merger their customer services have gone right down the toilet
-
JC (@Coady88) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia You’ll be switching back to sky in 2 years when virgin do exactly the same, double your bill whilst offering new customers the same service at 1/4 of the price, it’s a market I genuinely do not understand.
-
Trevor Gadd (@GaddTrevor) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Wish we had virgin in my area. Sky extortionate fees now, love sports, multi room and boys watch at uni so not really much choice. I believe their Sat contract runs out in a few years so will lose some of the service I currently get so will def leave then
-
Tomahawk Kid © 🏴 (@tartanjammies) reported@JonStone101 @virginmedia @MartinSLewis is it not time for you to look at Virgin Media and their corrupt renewal process? Every 2 years you have to have this dance and they still bugger it up. They needed to treat existing customers fairly.
-
Anth (@anthslife) reported@virginmedia I’m getting slow speeds (1gig package) engineers have been working on the pole for a few weeks and I have a feeling it’s related.
