  • ReissOmari Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps a month for @virginmedia for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area??

  • chrispsaras 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?

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  • MariannexS Marianne Sommerville 🌻 (@MariannexS) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia red button for the football not working again. @SkySports

  • ________Danny Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia I called cust serv today after logging complaint on 26th Nov and hearing nothing back. cust serv asked me to request my data and voice calls. listen to it myself and then send proof of being missold a contract/virgin error, so virgin can then resolve the matter and complaint

  • ReissOmari Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Fed up of these “intermittent” problems with my @virginmedia broadband.

  • OpiniatedOne1 Pretentious Opinions (@OpiniatedOne1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

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

    @virginmedia TV completely down this morning ,it’s been intermittent since September nobody helps me just fobbed off. Who is the ombudsman over you I can complain to? I’m no longer prepared to keep paying for services I’m not getting.

  • charlwalden 𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕠𝕥𝕥𝕖🧸 (@charlwalden) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to book an engineer? There are issues with the quick start installation I have and need an engineer to set it up for me

  • ReissOmari 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

  • ________Danny Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia i logged another complaint 1 to 2 weeks prior and heard nothing back. i was advised by cust service a month ago not to log a formal complaint and log an internal complaint instead

    Had problems with my TV since September now can’t get any live football or movies @virginmedia

  • MadAboutAFC gwr are crap (@MadAboutAFC) reported

    Only @virginmedia would have the ***** to increase what they charge when the service is worse than ever! Just want internet for more than 10 minutes before the signal drops! Absolute crock of **** company!

  • _One8Seven1_ Mark (@_One8Seven1_) reported

    @virginmedia Ok. 150 has an engaged tone which is weird so can’t even call at all. I’ll use the text service.

  • LesleyFoot1 Lesley Foot (@LesleyFoot1) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for info. I received DM which looks like it came from virgin asking me to supply by bank details so they could verify the account. When I refused their comment was ‘well you’re the one that needed help not me’ is this normal!!! 🤬

  • helensmyth1983 Helen Smyth (@helensmyth1983) reported

    @virginmedia @adamsmyth1986 did your online checks - didn’t help. They have no dial tone and if we ring the line it says engaged. At least 1 other local line has same prob. Can you look into it if I provide account details? This is the only way my frail gran, 89, can contact her daughter

  • Breconboy dmb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇪🇺 (@Breconboy) reported

    @virginmedia this is the second Friday in a row my wifi has gone down. Your phone numbers are not working. How can I get in touch with you?

  • NicksNikon Nick Cronin (@NicksNikon) reported

    @virginmedia Have you turned off mobile customer care on 789?

  • delatrixx1 @_delatrixx (@delatrixx1) reported

    @virginmedia need to sort their callers out...rude and extremely unhelpful.

  • leemaycock Lee Maycock (@leemaycock) reported

    .@virginmedia been trying to upgrade our broadband for a week. Unable to do online (what’s the point in having an online account), nearly 4 hours of waiting in phone queues to be cut off, and getting nowhere with the messaging service. Now probably going to cancel instead. Awful.

  • crawshaw69 Tony C (@crawshaw69) reported

    @virginmedia What’s is the number for customer relations? Please

  • _Ljmog95 Ljmog95 (@_Ljmog95) reported

    Day 2 of arguing with @virginmedia to find out the damn cancellation fee. Its rediculas the levels they go to to not cancel an account. The desperacy is crazy. Just ******* tell me how much it is the cancel. Why is that so hard. Im told to call and its a ******* task and a half!
