  Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported 17 seconds ago from Birmingham, England

  Mad 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?

  Alex (@laticwolf) reported 1 minute ago 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 🙃

  Chris Psaras (@chrispsaras) reported 4 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia no broadband since yesterday afternoon, told engineers were on route but still no update. Your offshore call centre is also unhelpful and not able to offer any further information. Please can you help?

  Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported 22 minutes ago 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!

  Bonna (@Phil_Bonna) reported 29 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @Angela_Griffin @virginmedia I have the fibre optic broadband for £23.95 month and the customer service is great

• 
  Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported 30 minutes ago 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

  Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported 34 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Causing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?

• 
  Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported 37 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @eerosupport hi. I have a Eero 6+. If I connect it to @virginmedia 1gbps service, will I get 1gbps?

• 
  Trickie Dickie (@NickHickey84) reported 39 minutes ago 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?

  James (@JMEden_97) reported 41 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  I hate VirginMedia me getting stupid little lag spikes

• 
  Jazba Entertainment (@JazbaEnt) reported 46 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @virginmedia business installation, been given 6 dates since 17th January. 4 no show or wrong booked, 2 attendance but not equipped to extend installation from 1sf floor to 2nd. even billed for a service which is not even installed yet. Nightmare #virginmedia #broadband

  Robin 🤘🏻 (@RobinB1971) reported 47 minutes ago from Solihull, England

  @virginmedia signed up for your new broadband and still waiting for the stuff to arrive. Apparently parcel is still at @YodelOnline main hub. This is the SECOND day I've cancelled things and waited for it to arrive as yet to no avail. WTF is going on!?! 🤬

• 
  Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 48 minutes ago from Dudley, England

  @virginmedia afternoon. I’ve been on hold for 25 mins and when I finally got through the line went dead after security questions. My mum has been without her TV service for over a week. Last night an engineer was due by 6 o’clock and never showed. Another text stating the 26th

  @Ian66232919 @virginmedia @02 have been awful and the reception is non existent, especially any where near Villa Park. May as well not take my phone out.

  @virginmedia And once again it goes down just I’m about to watch the boxing. Sort it or I’m putting in a formal complaint.

• 
  Reformed Prisoner (@formerprisoner_) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Next time, do what you promise and you will. Just a shame that you’ve had 3 opportunities to do that with me as a customer and you’ve failed all three times.

• 
  Sprout57 (@pwcwright) reported 7 minutes ago

  @misselledee @virginmedia Yes, you can cancel. They have failed to uphold their end of the contract, including the no-show appointments

• 
  Harry john (@ahmedbella19101) reported 8 minutes ago

• 
  Phil (@philbreadin) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia how come my bill has jumped from £55 to £72 mid contract? I understand it's April and a small price increase is expected but £17 is taking the mick. With the issues I've had lately @sky is looking more tempting.

• 
  Jemski (@jemski7) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia well done. You’ve lost me as a customer of 25 years because you wouldn’t supply me just broadband like you do for new customers. That’s is some ****** up priorities. Good riddance to you.

• 
  Jonny Rep (@TrapitJon) reported 14 minutes ago

  @Hank83416250473 @virginmedia Always go here to report it myself. It’ll usually tell you if there’s an issue in your area and when it’s likely to be fixed

• 
  Rep74NL (@JohnnyRep74) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia your Webchat is awful , got an email regarding upgrading to 360 . Directed to webchat , 35 minutes later still trying to sort out what is an easy request . Your agent takes 10 minutes between each response to answer . I’m not bothering now

• 
  Addy (@iadnan9) reported 16 minutes ago

  @roisinecarr @virginmedia @virginmedia Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste

  @virginmedia hey. can you explain why our virgin tv suddenly decided to become "cogeco" and insist we're in canada when we very much live in the uk and have never been to canada? we cannot access any streaming services.
