  • HelenAbdullah08 💙 Helen Abdullah 💙 (@HelenAbdullah08) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia Didn’t get a response then told another dept would contact. All we want is the service we are paying for. We need a new v6 box the replacement sent doesn’t work properly(set top box) we cannot use catch up and the picture is intermittently pixilated.

  • blueghostuk Michael Pritchard (@blueghostuk) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I can only await for the service I ordered then... hopeless

  • Ade1701 Ade1701 (@Ade1701) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia Why is it your call centres and your web chat give no answer for hours on end, and your website constantly falls over returning error messages.... “Whoops! Something went wrong!” Your customer service is a joke!

  • roachie1969 Jeff Roach (@roachie1969) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia what are the customer service hours at the moment?

  • a_Muss60 Andy (@a_Muss60) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia 😱 a 100mb internet, TV and phone service that works.

  • LB_WFC Liam (@LB_WFC) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia Internet for the past 3 days has been absolutely awful!

  • HelenAbdullah08 💙 Helen Abdullah 💙 (@HelenAbdullah08) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia Sadly no. we admitted defeat, we were on hold for 1hr 50 mins. Got through the next day, the equipment sent does not work properly now have been advised to call after the new year to chase it again. We are paying for a service we aren’t receiving this is really disappointing

  • Sammykins9486 Samantha (@Sammykins9486) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia how can i access online chat? Unhappy with a few things , and trying to get through to you over the phone is never a good result, have better service on the online chat service

  • MutliRaceMan Jean Thierry (@MutliRaceMan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @keith_bloke @virginmedia CS agent hung up on you? The only justification for that is if you used bad language. Otherwise they should be attempting to resolve the issue for you. Is this for your Dad? Mobile providers are universally poor. They consider themselves never in the wrong. I’m with @EE also poor

  • alexlowe95 Alex Lowe (@alexlowe95) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’m trying to watch virgin tv through Firefox on my Amazon fire stick, but I keep getting an error message ‘sign in failed’ although it doesn’t even give me the option to enter an email address to attempt to sign in?

  • dean_kavanagh Dean Kavanagh (@dean_kavanagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @barbs_paul @EE Up there with @virginmedia, horrendous service for existing customers!

  • HelenAbdullah08 💙 Helen Abdullah 💙 (@HelenAbdullah08) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia We tried the messaging service thank you that didn’t help either. To be honest we are dreading trying to contact you again in the new year to get this sorted another 2 hours on the phone! I would have thought it your responsibility to sort this out but apparently not!

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

    @virginmedia I think its our router etc we have poor Internet speed all the time no Internet in certain rooms i actually have better signal with next doors Internet, I've been ringing up for months with no help!

  • Dawn08503854 Dawnie (@Dawn08503854) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @virginmedia my TV has been off since 4pm no picture but sound can get tv guide etc on no problems. done all the usual restart check leads and can't get it back on.

  • brettellis1982 Brett Ellis (@brettellis1982) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia have the virgin connect app.... however it will not let me sign in. Have changed password etc and it still says ‘wrong username or password’. Driving me mad!

  • LB_WFC Liam (@LB_WFC) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia It does. The internet will randomly cut out then come back on 2/3 minutes later. I’ve factor reset it via the router setting and a manual factory reset with no luck.

  • Tricia__Winspur Tricia (@Tricia__Winspur) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Parents experiencing continual issues with their Virgin services... have tried contacting Virgin for over month and continually on hold. Now on hold again and this issue needs to be resolved. Elderly parents and no mobile. Any help as this is disgusting service!!

  • brettellis1982 Brett Ellis (@brettellis1982) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I am signed in on the web and on my virgin app. Will not let me sign in to the connect app

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

    @virginmedia New V6 box (less than a month old) alternates between flashing red & white lights. Tried to reset using your help guide - still not working. How do I sort this out? #childreninthehouse

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

    @virginmedia hi any update on this issue being resolved ? Still no WiFi !!

  • scattyhat Suzanne Cole (@scattyhat) reported

    @virginmedia Day 3 with no Internet, I am assuming refunds will be issued for loss of service and any excess data with O2 will also be covered? Please advise and update when issue will be fixed.

  • benmalka Ben Malka (@benmalka) reported

    The @virginmedia outage is a joke. Just like their customer service and everything else related to them. I just switched my business broadband over to Gig1 Fibre. Now, im just going to cancel and move elsewhere. Clowns 🤡

  • GeoffHall_Film Geoff Hall (@GeoffHall_Film) reported

    @virginmedia And your phone line doesn’t work either. All round a bad day for people trying to do business with Virgin Media services. It may be the fastest broadband in the country, but it seems to be failing. #timeforarefund

  • bdpopsen Axelrod (@bdpopsen) reported

    @iainmclean11 @virginmedia @SkyUK If you think this is bad, wait till you sign with Sky

  • Tot4lChaos94 TotalChaos94 (@Tot4lChaos94) reported

    @EarIswood @virginmedia I don’t think I’ve been with virgin since they were NTL. But the past couple years the service has been atrocious. As to why I’m literally getting sky installed today🙏

  • steeeeeve940 SESV♒ (@steeeeeve940) reported

    @virginmedia As reliable as their customer service

  • NahlaTheFeesh 🐟Nahla| FEESH🐟 (@NahlaTheFeesh) reported

    So my Internet is still out. I definitely won't be able to stream today! I'm sorry. @virginmedia please fix. Fish needs Internet to work

  • NUfC12312 D (@NUfC12312) reported

    @dondatta13 @virginmedia Make sure they put an end date on the cancellation email as when I cancelled it went smoothly and i got a sorry your leaving email, a month and a half later I rang them to ask why they had billed me to be told I had never cancelled, even with their email (no date) #Criminal

  • vegasvic1978 Vicky Bonner (@vegasvic1978) reported
