  • troublewithdata Will Riley (@troublewithdata) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia You say there’s no issue but our WiFi has been up and down like the flipping Assyrian empire all day. Very cross!!

  • daveshep1 Dave Shep (@daveshep1) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Looks like most of the Broadband is down in B91 - not showing on your website but tests and local feedback from friends/family suggests this is across entire B91 postcode - can you please fix ASAP 👍🏻

  • kittykatrollins Helen Rollins (@kittykatrollins) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia phoned last week re my blueyonder email account. I can’t refresh it on my laptop or on my phone. I was told it would be fixed. I’ve tried contacting again to no avail. I understand staff are limited at the mo but would like to know when this issue will be resolved

  • ghstofyouBrock 👻•Betty👑•👻 (@ghstofyouBrock) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Aight but why is virgin media the worst ******* internet shut ever

  • amesmorton48 Amy Morton (@amesmorton48) reported from Birmingham, England

    Listen up @virginmedia Customers will be leaving in droves if you don't sort it out. Cannot work from home with such rubbish service & contract restrictions.

  • NearLegalJones H (@NearLegalJones) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Hi. After regularly berating one of your business rivals ref broadband I’m disappointed to be now asking you how to make a (polite) written complaint about an installation at my home. I think you have a staff training issue.

  • brumadam Adam (@brumadam) reported from Birmingham, England

    Credit where it’s due, just had to call @virginmedia as I was unable to fix a query on the website and had fantastic, fast, and friendly service from the call centre. Thank you 🙏

  • daveshep1 Dave Shep (@daveshep1) reported from Solihull, England

    Wow...!! This appears to be B90, B91 & B92 - @virginmedia you need to get this fixed ASAP - this is no doubt human error to cause issues at this scale - either that or you need some help with your network topology - let me know 😉

  • isamutlib Isa #StayHomeSaveLives (@isamutlib) reported from Birmingham, England

    It's actually tragic how bad @virginmedia broadband has gotten over the last few days. Hope we are refunded for this period of shocking internet coverage. Still think it's the best service but need to sort out current issues.

  • bettyboobypants anna_banana (@bettyboobypants) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia She has forgotten her email address (and is struggling to get access to her acc & not getting much help when she phones up) she uses on her mobile acc as she is looking to cancel or update her mobile phone contract.

  • bettyboobypants anna_banana (@bettyboobypants) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia please can some one help! My mom has a phone with you but is hopeless with acc info and passwords, she has tv, phone and internet package with you. She is trying to upgrade her phone as the one she has isn’t working/ charging properly.

  • midwifephd Roisin Bailey (@midwifephd) reported from Birmingham, England

  • covflyer alan foster (@covflyer) reported

    @virginmedia I'm trying to get to Customer Sevices to cancel my account but can never get through!

  • karen_gibson88 Karen Crammond (@karen_gibson88) reported

    @virginmedia I think her name was Jenny. In customer services (billing issues) and she was Scottish so want to say Glasgow? She went out of her way to help me with my billing issue, including calling me back.

  • gwragg74 Big G (@gwragg74) reported

    @virginmedia over 2 hours on the phone (still on hold for 30 minutes being transferred to another department) to get a new TV box assigned to my account. Why wasn't it assigned before the engineer visited? Had to take an extra half day off work. Shocking service

  • KeeysNatalia Natalia Keeys (@KeeysNatalia) reported

    @virginmedia incredibly disappointed by your “client service”. We have been trying to cancel our broadband contract and each time our calls have been disconnected when we mentioned cancellation. Absolutely unprofessional - no email address to reach out to! #pleaseavoid

  • nasir_farid Nasir Farid (@nasir_farid) reported

    @virginmedia @Spheron1 @adamcooke Since last two days i have spent about 4 hours just for someone help me from virgin media... i regret opting for virgin media. lesson learnt.

  • R9X14 R (@R9X14) reported

    @virginmedia Don’t forget the bullet point that says you never answer the phone 👍🏻

  • PimpOzil Drëxl (@PimpOzil) reported from Croydon, England

    @virginmedia Called again today, and was told my an automated service that all lines are busy and to try again later. I’ve been trying to call since Monday & I would like to put in writing my request to cancel. My account number is 334885003 Can someone DM me so I can get this done TODAY

  • mrandmrsblandy Andy & Rebecca (@mrandmrsblandy) reported

    @virginmedia why is your customer service team so unhelpful. Tried ringing all day to get a message of call back later, and the live chat is not working. How am I supposed to get my issue resolved
