Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported 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

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!
-
Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, EnglandCausing 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?
-
tarun (@tarun65170952) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Im getting slow speeds on my broadband. My package is volt and which should be 250mbs im getting less that half of that. Please ask your team to look into this
-
Chris Psaras (@chrispsaras) reported 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?
-
Andy Newton (@NewtonAndy) reported from Dudley, England@Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, EnglandFed up of these “intermittent” problems with my @virginmedia broadband.

ch Saqib (@saqibsvideos) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia They haven't called me yet that's how bad you're
-
Andy (@a_Muss60) reported from Swindon, England@matt_hanson70 @virginmedia Intermittent for 2.5 days, Sunday always v poor the worst is 0.4mbs with a 250mbs supply. VM's script always saying reboot etc.. Funny though following reporting an issue a week ago I suddenly recorded 256mbs for an hour then it slowly drops to normal! First ever hitting supply.

Richard C. Bishop 🏃♂️ (@richardcbishop) reported from West Bromwich, England@Damien_Clyburn @virginmedia They're appalling. I've had business version for 10 years. BT never miss a beat. Outstanding. Get rid of them.
-
shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia haha you mean the same forum where they didn’t answer me for days last time, and they didn’t resolve anything???? waste of time. they told me to check the speed and check for area issues. absolutely awful customer service when i’ve been complaining about this for WEEKS now.
-
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.
-
Garry (@paragaz) reported from Streetly, England@virginmedia hey. I am trying to speak to someone about my account but turns out nobody recognises my account number. Can you PM me to organise calling me please. I've tried the text message service
-
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
-
Neil Simpson (@nippa77) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia why is it that your service is up and down more than a yo-yo? It’s getting ridiculous now!!!
-
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

Lord Fauntleroy MP KC (@FauntleroyMp) reported@Mickskinz @DavidPNoble63 They will enforce it with isp's quite easily. Just fine virgin media if they fail to act on frequent ip address switching
-
Sandra Robinson (@mrsluc) reported@YeshuaFoxtrot @virginmedia I read on here everyday about issues, I have to be honest they are the best I've had. Three years and never an issue, well apart from the persistant cold calls. I sympathise with people who do, I was with Sky and had to reset my modem 3 times a day.

Richard M 🇺🇦 (@Days_Are_Gone) reportedWho's providing their interplanetary communications if she needs to try again next year? Even Virgin Media aren't that bad. #Sams80s

safcpete 🇬🇧🏴 (@safcpete67) reported@y_alibhai @virginmedia The arrogance. You don’t get preferential treatment Yasmine due to your ‘awards’. Btw If you agree with SM ban for kids meaning we will all have to sign in to access SM then get used to this.
