    Does anybody actually work at @virginmedia Customer Services! Have been on hold for over 20 mins on phone and is the second time I’ve had to call, no response on messaging either! Can anyone from @virginmedia assist before I raise this further with CEO @TomMockridgeVM

  • BrummieGem Lady Gemma (@BrummieGem) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia need to change their hold music - I’ve just listened to the same song 3 times!!! 😤 I’m sure they just want me to put the phone down!!! 🙉

  • EgglestonMathew Mat 🏳️‍🌈 (@EgglestonMathew) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s been an issue since we had it installed . Had 3 engineers visit. Never works at full speed

  • gjw1603 Gary Webber (@gjw1603) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Price rises, overseas call centers, the time spent on the phone listening to the nausiating voice. Suggest you look at social media and learn about your shocking reputation and customer service. Im out !!

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

    @BankerJase @virginmedia I’ve yet to deal with a Virgin Media team that provide decent customer service. Which is why I’ve given up on TV/Telephone. Broadband will only last if they maintain a service.

  • bevvyxo_ ✨ Hannah ✨ (@bevvyxo_) reported from Solihull, England

    Spent 45 mins on the phone to @virginmedia to agree a new contract. I didn’t receive the confirmation email as agreed so rang up to check only to be hold there was no record of it and they couldn’t honour it. 10/10 customer service there 🙄

  • scgough §↯mØn (@scgough) reported from Birmingham, England

    Anyone else experiencing DNS issues for certain sites. UK based. I’m getting unresolved errors via virgin media net but ok via mobile data. #dns #networking

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

    @virginmedia It’s only been in the past few weeks that it’s gotten so bad. I was getting updates 2 weeks ago from @EE saying they were doing work in my area, but have heard nothing since. Shame you don’t have wi-fi calling

  • hiltonleanne79 Leanne (@hiltonleanne79) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’m sure you’re really sorry...sorted now without any help from yourselves. I do hope your CEO is aware of how shockingly abysmal your customer service is and I speak from experience.

  • corbettcollins Ash Corbett-Collins (@corbettcollins) reported from Birmingham, England

    @gaz112 @virginmedia That'll be the same @virginmedia that sends passwords out by post, complete with other sign in information. They're pretty much a joke at this point.

  • gorman_wba Liam O'Gorman (@gorman_wba) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia Your an absolute joke of a company, you charge me £50 a month for broadband and it hasn’t worked for the last 2 months, 4 people in our street have the same problem but yet when an engineer comes out they claim they’ve fixed it when they havent,sort it out,disgrace.

  • 2108blondie Sasha Swapp (@2108blondie) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Used to work for the company know all about rebooting after a fix. Just done *** and TiVo box again whilst still waiting for someone to answer the phone and it still doesn’t work. Absolutely shocking

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    I can’t call you because @ThreeUKSupport are providing a crap service and have been for 3 weeks because of a bit of rain! Time to have a chat with @virginmedia @O2 @VodafoneUK I think, neither #Sky not #Three value customers. @Three_Is_Broken

  • tonymartin82211 tonymartin (@tonymartin82211) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia up to their scams again and when you get through all the button pressing on the phone and are past from one to another then when you start asking questions they hang up .

  • _baggyaaron baggy (@_baggyaaron) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia fuming. Just been in his for half hour for someone to end the call as soon as they pick up. Awful service

  • carl_morgan3 carl morgan (@carl_morgan3) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue with services in the B90 area. Cheers

  • markshawnwo mark shaw (@markshawnwo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia internet down in Birmingham checked with reported issues and not known anything else reported it

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

    @virginmedia I’ll try texting. I only have 1 bar of signal

  • Kal_Ajimal Kal Ajimal (@Kal_Ajimal) reported from Solihull, England

    How hard is it to report a problem to my landline telephone @virginmedia totally ridiculous been on hold 30 minutes

  • Mr_PaintPots David Wright (@Mr_PaintPots) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia As you can imagine, this has been discussed with many of your team, at length, with no resolution. The response is shambolic. Virgin is seemingly incapable of providing any service whatsoever in our case. Disappointing doesn't cover it, shockingly inept is a start.

    @TonyMaudsley1 @virginmedia Because they don't really want to deal with problems. Incase they have to reimburse money. Of someone cancels. They just want customers money? Like most companies nowadays

  • katie_jr Katie 🌿 Ⓥ 💚 🤘🏻 🌎 (@katie_jr) reported

    @Firesnapper999 @virginmedia Tbh, I've been with them for 12 years and apart from slower speeds in the evenings when gamer neighbours get home from work, I've had few problems. I had my router replaced last year after multiple signal dropouts and it's been pretty good since. 🤞🏻

  • MarkyMarkTucker Mark (@MarkyMarkTucker) reported

    @virginmedia when are VM going to support apple watches? I bought one recently and found that my carrier doesn’t support them.

  • jackoherts JD (@jackoherts) reported

    @virginmedia The hub is NOT 'fine', John! The reception around the house is ****! You practically need to be sitting on the hub to get anything from it. We want a new hub. You need to arrange an engineer out here and provide the service we pay for.

  • _jax007 jakir hussain (@_jax007) reported

    @virginmedia It prompts me to sign in. I haven't activated my account.. because of the issue
