-
Alex (@laticwolf) reported from Bradmore, England@virginmedia good work 👏🏼 issues with WiFi being down constantly as soon as £7.50 monthly bill increases comes in! Currently on hour 5 of no internet and not due to be fixed before 1am 🙃
-
Jot Shoker (@jot_shoker) reported from West Bromwich, EnglandI purchased @virginmedia high speed wifi but they are not giving a proper service We are totally frustrated
-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia It’s on both WiFi and wired. At this present moment I’m unable to get ANY network from the router on both.
-
TheShannimal🔜#i70 (@TheShannimal_) reported from Kidderminster, England@Cplcash @virginmedia Problem is other providers are so slow at installing fibre cables that most have no choice but to go with VM
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Hi, I’m getting around 80mpbs now, should be 350 though, when I try and test it says there’s a problem in the area, but no further information
-
TheShannimal🔜#i70 (@TheShannimal_) reported from Kidderminster, England@MykeJD1 @virginmedia Gone down for a lot of people apparently
-
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.
-
Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, EnglandOnce again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England@IanMurphy111 @virginmedia I am mate awful service
-
Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England@virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, EnglandAnd just like that my @virginmedia is off again, no internet whatsoever. Embarrassing service from them, very disappointed and frustrated.
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia No , when I last spoke to someone on the phone the issue was still happening , it doesn’t happen as much now but still happens at least once a day
-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia Yes, the fault dates back from the 25th August and hopefully a fix will be made tomorrow, if not an engineer is booked for next week. When I finally got through the team were very helpful
-

-
freckles n dimples (@xsasix) reported from Woodside, England@virginmedia how do you check the mobile phone signal in your area? I’ve had nine for a few days
-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia I understand that your systems were down last night, which happens, but I’ve been on hold for 30 mins this morning. We have a text to say it’s resolved but it isn’t. I just need to speak to someone please.

ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reported@RosyPosy_kitteh @IamCarrieagain @virginmedia They were very rude to me this afternoon. Both on chat then phone. Ill be cancelling my services next week once I have the opportunity to ring up. They treat older (I'm 72) people with disrespect.
-
Mike Fuller (@ninepine) reported@virginmedia Apology accepted but your data is clearly bad and your systems faulty if you have to rely on assumptions not truth. Sadly symptomatic of @virginmedia - @ICOnews should investigate. When your systems also wrongly say I haven't paid my bill in full it's systemic not unusual.😡
-
Louise Boxall (@Louiseboxall) reported@virginmedia My parents can’t watch their virgin media that they’re paying for because the picture is pixilated picture! Aparently they won’t even look into it unless the agree to the new 360! Disgraceful! So much for customer service!!
-
Mr. Mickey (@MrMickey142) reported@Argos_Online I've always thought Virgin Media were the unanimous heavyweight champions of 'couldn't give a ****' customer 'care' but today, I've just realised (only because I deal with VM a lot more) that there's a genuine contender - a great white 'hope'!🤬 DISGUSTING!
-
Tracey Russell (@TraceyR16154277) reported@rpd_pacer @claireroberts01 @virginmedia I left Virgin Media a couple of years ago, after being with them for 20 years. Customer service is non existent, I got sick of trying to deal with Indian call centre staff who barely understood English. The equipment was crap and waiting weeks for engineers was a joke.
-
DÏE BLUE BARON (@duke_olaf) reported@virginmedia No service in the BS14 area Bristol at all
-
ShirleySarah🌹🎸🦊🦔🐦⚽ (@ShirleySarah70) reported@virginmedia Could you give me a number to call to cancel my TV services please.
-
Wayne Clark (@clarky051180) reported@virginmedia second day of outage on a bank holiday weekend…! (Oh and a half term break)…! Congratulation’s….!👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳
-
waledbinkhaled (@waledbinkhaled) reportedNo broadband is in my property for last 3?weeks. Constantly calling @virginmedia everyday and they are giving me new timeline every single time. Problem is not solved but only empty promises.
-
John Hatcher (@kolodog1) reported@virginmedia the service with the WiFi or TV services in the BR5 is poor. 3 times in the last week one of them has went down, today it's the WiFi again.
