  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Internet and TV down yet again and this after a debacle of a mis sold “extra” remote control this weekend, absolute disaster and terrible customer service!

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia for the second day out of the last 60 hours we have no Internet or TV in the B92 area!! You do know the rules are still to work from home if you can don’t you? Atrocious service and reliability!!

  • stumccullagh Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia internet down yet again ..... McDonalds carpark to get their WiFi just for a Zoom call!!!!

  • azoidismd Dr Ioannis Azoidis (@azoidismd) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes, everyone is sorry and everyone understands but no one wants to help. I still haven’t cancelled and you ask me to pay early cancellation fees after raising the prices. If not talking about the current contract I stayed a customer for almost 4 years even with the abuse I got.

  • darrendunbar70 Darren Dunbar (@darrendunbar70) reported from Birmingham, England

    @coopersalty I strongly suggest you invest in Sky or Virgin media then. Having an old TV with only 5 channels is the problem here!!

  • all_day_ Mat Burling (@all_day_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No there isn’t and the only issue is with audio description, it’s driving me mad. I’ve switched it off but it makes no difference.

  • travellingcoral Coral Musgrave 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇳🇴 (@travellingcoral) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @ThatLyndsey @priddy @virginmedia We sent it as advised as a tracked delivery with proof of postage. That's why it's £11. And they're charging £10 admin fee to disconnect our phone line. Absolutely shambolic service. #utilitywarehouse

  • JtheB_DKP Jack The Biscuit 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@JtheB_DKP) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia • 3 times I’ve been cut off this morning while trying to sort out my bill. Could someone please help?

  • tahmehtay Tahmehtay (@tahmehtay) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia seems to supply only just above half of the country, but if you change address to an area they don't supply YOU have to pay £240 exit fee. Do not use them if you can't see into the future and know for sure that you will never move. Insane!

  • HopeFord1994 Hope Ford (@HopeFord1994) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @virginmedia Day 10 of no internet, partner has rang countless times spent the best part of 5-6 hours in total to various departments. Terrible as a new customer!

  • jdbhrrs JADE (@jdbhrrs) reported from Birmingham, England

    does anybody else have a really bad time with @virginmedia broadband? my bill has gone up a couple of pounds recently but the internet is actually the worst it’s ever been 🥴

  • JWRogers82 James Rogers (@JWRogers82) reported from Perton, England

    @virginmedia by sport one channel not working I’ve rebooted the box and still not getting any signal but all the other by channels are working what’s going on 🤬🤬

  • tahmehtay Tahmehtay (@tahmehtay) reported from Birmingham, England

    In addition to the cost of a new home that I have to furnish fully top to bottom, @virginmedia is trying to charge me £240 exit fee when THEY don't supply the new address. This is seriously getting me down. I can't even afford necessities.

  • dan04harris Dan Harris (@dan04harris) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Hey @virginmedia what the hell is going on with your service? It’s simply unacceptable! I work from home and need the internet to do my job! When is the service going to be working? @Ofcom

  • tahmehtay Tahmehtay (@tahmehtay) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia is trying to charge me an exit fee of £240 because I am changing address. I would continue with their service, except THEY don't supply the new address. How is this OK? How is such a large company getting away with such a brazen scam. Wow!

  • CraigBrownGolf Craig Brown (@CraigBrownGolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia such bad service from day one, nothing but problems and frustrations, an active complaint now been running for all of 2021 and so far I’ve received no contact, I have called in at least 6 times each time I get promised it will be sorted but still waiting? Shocking!!

  • ChloeHolland_ox Chloe (@ChloeHolland_ox) reported from Aldridge, England

    Sick of having issues with my Wi-Fi!! At least a couple times a day the router starts flashing and won’t connect anyone in my house to it! Internet speeds are slow all the time 😡 @virginmedia sort it out

  • dbyrne2112 David Byrne (@dbyrne2112) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia The issue is happening on the app so it looks like it’s duplicated the laptop using chrome 4 times. 3 of those need removing which I can’t do

  • lestatsmum rayofsunshine 💙 (@lestatsmum) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia do you have a number or email so I cancel mobile insurance?

  • alex_bann Alex Bann (@alex_bann) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Can anyone help please? New V6 box has been broken for about a month and have tried to call to get fixed/replaced but to no avail.

  • steveclayson Steve Clayson (@steveclayson) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia hi can you tell me when you expect broadband to be back on in Calverley Leeds. Although according to your site there are no issues. #LS28 #virginmedia #broadband

  • XStatikPulse Itza Secret (@XStatikPulse) reported from Castle Donington, England

    @virginmedia I would call 150 from my land-line to say that broadband and TV are down, but the phone isn't working either! And your call centre doesn't open till 8 (should be 24/7 when u sell a 24/7 product)

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Cuerdley, England

    Aaaaand @virginmedia broadband is down again. Useless.

  • kathytomlinson_ Kathy Tomlinson (@kathytomlinson_) reported from Exeter District, England

    2 weeks and counting, and despite having my complaint escalated to a manager I have still received no call back from @virginmedia #awfulcustomerservice

  • Janine3579 Janine Surridge (@Janine3579) reported from Swindon, England

    @richardbranson @virginmedia Removing my kids favourite channels under the Fun Bundle then asking me for extra money to return them. So disappointed. Will def be switching away sadly. Loyal customer gone😕

  • COSiorain Carol-Ann O' Síoráin PhD (@COSiorain) reported from Dublin City, Leinster

    @virginmedia I wasn’t waiting to get through, the problem is related to communication skills, being able to listen to exactly the customer’s needs and being able to evaluate what is required, checking in with the customer to clarify needs- good listen and analysis needed

  • SGuggiariPeel Sam Peel (@SGuggiariPeel) reported from London, England

    @virginmedia worst customer services I've ever dealt with. They make it hard to complain then lied to me twice deliberately and closed the complaint before it was resolved. Don't trust them!

  • nickeyley Eee-lee (@nickeyley) reported from Billingham, England

    @virginmedia Are you effing kidding me - you're doing it again. Internet has dropped for the second time this month. I wonder what you'd do if I didn't provide payment like you fail to provide service.

  • spuddy1878 Neil (@spuddy1878) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Two different mobile phones and no joy at all. It’s picking up another WiFi signal from someone else but not from my home.

  • DTGreen63 David Green (@DTGreen63) reported from Stockport, England

    @Virgin_Victoria @MadeByDyslexia @virginmedia They won't help customers service is crap they don't won't to know full stop
