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

    @virginmedia Yes. I’ve been to that page. Says I have to report to you a total loss of service, yet the page to do that is broken! @Ofcom

  • mredwards Mark Edwards (@mredwards) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Yes and all it did was tell me that our kitchen is a WiFi dead zone... The main issue is that we have loads of devices and I think we are overloading our hub’s capabilities.

  • grimm_karl Grimm (@grimm_karl) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Shocking customer service signed up a few weeks ago for fibre given an installation date called the day before to ask me when I would like to book the install then telling me they have a problem on the site and will get in touch in 7 days.

  • PhotographyWeb Richard hamilton (@PhotographyWeb) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @MoneyTelegraph Virgin Media is the worst broadband and TV provider i have ever dealt with! Customer service is petulant and intentionally left me on hold until after closing hours the company over charged me by £30 and refused to give it back! I am disgusted

  • unit_1974 🐺WereWolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @pie1883 @virginmedia Already had multiple calls over years, with poor to not resolution of problems. Then hassle phone calls trying to get us to switch packages when we opted to cancel and failure to respond to complaints and such… It’s like being hounded.

  • Lbacollections Laura-Jayne Brushett (@Lbacollections) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia So 5 hours later and the rearranging of my house move has produced a "mismatch" on ur system meaning I have to wait 24hrs to ring u again and start over. What a terrible service!

  • jamies144 J (@jamies144) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia That it can not login.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @_mark13 @virginmedia Their customer service is virtually non existent! We are just money to them.

  • Cal1964 Calum McGill (@Cal1964) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Okay, we'll try again tomorrow. I'm sure you're aware I've lodged a complaint already as very unhappy with the level of service from your agents. I needed this sorting over a week ago and now Virgin have taken another £129 for another month🙄

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

    @virginmedia internet down again, youd think I'd be used to this by now 🤣 always an excuse and never get anything back for the lack of usage. I'm barely in the house using it so dread to think how many times it goes down when I'm not in potentially using it 🤙

  • PapaIsZeus Μarinos (@PapaIsZeus) reported from Solihull, England

    Virgin media fix up your interbet bruv

  • Cal1964 Calum McGill (@Cal1964) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia We were offered this and two boxes etc for £89...NINE DAYS AGO and then no one wanted to speak to us!!! Terrible service to a loyal Virgin customer of 8 years...robbery😠

  • VinCheema Verinderpal (@VinCheema) reported from Birmingham, England

    Broadband down @virginmedia been about 20 mins on hold and still waiting #CustomerServiceWeek

  • mo4g_777 mo4g (@mo4g_777) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia services for broadband once again not working B42,

  • unit_1974 🐺WereWolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    I’ve now had two messages from @virginmedia threatening to Charge us for equipment WHICH WE HAVE ALREADY RETURNED! There is no way to respond to the message and I don’t like being threatened! You customer service is getting worse!

  • glynn_lauren Lauren Glynn (@glynn_lauren) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia c130 issue is the name of my life. No network issues in my area, restart the box, every week anything longer than an hour on Netflix is unwatchable 😫

  • PhotographyWeb Richard hamilton (@PhotographyWeb) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @MoneyTelegraph virgin media had me on the phone for one and a half hours And approximately fifty minutes of that was on hold of good as far as to say that virgin media is the worst large company I’ve ever dealt with

  • mo4g_777 mo4g (@mo4g_777) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia has WiFi in perry barr gone down

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

    @PatchworkBoyPW @virginmedia They wont have a clue. I had issues for about 6 months and I was constantly trying to sort it out. Engineers are great but the "customer service" team are based in India and have no customer service skills 🤙

  • DixeyBaker Sharon Baker (@DixeyBaker) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why can I never get through .... I get a letter saying please call us ...... 25 mins on hold so far .... so frustrating

    @virginmedia I did. I even had several phone calls with your support team before it was official logged as an outage. And then had daily email correspondence with a member of the team updating me on the outage. Yet somehow, i dont qualify. (But no-one can tell me why)
