  • s_badruddin Sana Parkar (@s_badruddin) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why is your box down? Why doesn’t any of your apps load? E.g. Amazon Prime? 😑

  • nickywolko Nicky Rowe (@nickywolko) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia my new tv box has arrived today and I can’t use it as our area is still down. Our broadband was down yesterday. At least it’s only the tv today it’s not as if we are without power or heating like some parts of the country. Customer services were helpful

  • PhatSuppliUK PhatSuppliUK (@PhatSuppliUK) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Wow and your team just hung up on me as well Wow shocking behaviour How can I expand on an issue you are meant to look into?you told us it was a cable issue, you said you'd send someone to fix it You never did I'm sick of broken internet

  • CosmicHustler Alien-**** (@CosmicHustler) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia Any chance of some kind gesture of goodwill to a very long-term customer (Telewest days) and long-term isolator due to suppressed immune system, struggling without a working & very necessary distraction...

  • karriecheer ♥ Karina Aura ♥ (@karriecheer) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Virgin media has been down since this morning what a joke

  • measlewolf Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia do you have a known issue with the sports channels? They aren’t working and the phone-line cuts me out off.

  • anna_newbold AnnaBluez 🌧 (@anna_newbold) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia what's up? No TV or telephone line & your website & customer services have crashed Have you paid your bill? #virginmedia

  • gingerandnuts Ginger and Nuts (@gingerandnuts) reported from Brownhills, England

    Well @virginmedia you have let so many people down with no apology or update. Disgraceful.

  • pdtathome paul taylor (@pdtathome) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I have a persistent broadband issue and can't contact customer support via the web site #help

  • Miss_Pumpkin666 Caroline (@Miss_Pumpkin666) reported from Birmingham, England

    @sahinbrum @virginmedia I agree that their compensation policy is bs, I’ve found when I’ve had any outage affect me, they patch it quickly so the service gets intermittent while they work on a full fix, that way they don’t have to compensate, even if service drops out every couple minutes. BS really

  • Miss_Pumpkin666 Caroline (@Miss_Pumpkin666) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Michaelallen_99 @philell21 @virginmedia Because the stupid rules say that if there’s a disruption to your services (over a specified amount of time), you’re legally entitled to compensation, but ONLY if you contact them to notify them that you specifically are effected, if you don’t they’re not obligated

  • carol_dd6 Carol Dickinson (@carol_dd6) reported from Dudley, England

    Gutted that I’ve renewed my mobile contract with @virginmedia I don’t think I’ve ever had such bad customer service before. I’m still waiting for transcripts from my chats yesterday to complain to the Ombudsman about them. I will not be renewing with them again!

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

    @virginmedia 45 mins on hold then cut off over 100 quid a month TV not working yet again!

  • carol_dd6 Carol Dickinson (@carol_dd6) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Another lie I was told then! Apparently they were sending transcripts from 2 online chats yesterday and 1 from today. I’m really disappointed with Virgin, I expect better customer service from such a big company.

  • adtatton Andrew Tatton 🔰 #GlazersOut 🔰 (@adtatton) reported from Wythall, England

    @virginmedia poor doesn’t come anywhere near the description needed for the service you provide for a long term customer who simply needs the OLD Superhub 2ac router replacing. I simply need a replacement sent quickly but must wait for an engineer on Tuesday 4th January.

  • nickywolko Nicky Rowe (@nickywolko) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia new tv box Friday as mentioned before didn’t work Friday started working yesterday now today it’s off again! Done the status check says no problems said box was on standby. I did get a flicker of a program for less than a minute then no signal.

  • SteveWa13630733 Steve Walters (@SteveWa13630733) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia @matty_gilbert94 Can’t check service status page - that is down too

  • SummayahMuslima For my Family🖤 (@SummayahMuslima) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia the Internet this covid lockdown xmas holiday has been appalling, service is terrible @VMSolutions_

  • Tommm_Currie LOLZ N TING (@Tommm_Currie) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia 6mbps download speed at the moment when ive upgraded to 350mbps... this is ridiculous, constant problems and advertising as the fasted.. and being told on your website that I need to wait 24 hours before you'll even look into booking an engineer..

  • willcooling Will Cooling (@willcooling) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia your TV Go App doesn't ******* work. Won't accept my login. Won't let me change it. Won't let me register a new account. ******* joke

  • DirectTechYT Petar - DirectTech🇬🇧🇷🇸 (@DirectTechYT) reported

    Just saw a @virginmedia @O2 VOLT deal for £34, but because im an existing customer, its only available to me at £43 ! Shambolic ! i have multiple lines and products with @O2 & this is how modern companies value existing customers ! Maybe ill take my money elsewhere !

  • JackPittBrooke Jack Pitt-Brooke (@JackPittBrooke) reported

    @will_totheleft @virginmedia @Lionesses I've just left Virgin because their internet has been so awful in SE15 for the last few years!

  • wanderbrookes Christina (@wanderbrookes) reported

    @virginmedia I’m trying to cancel my broadband package via both phone & text chat. I am being taken in circles, the chat agent is refusing to cancel my package, just asking the same questions. And I can’t get through on the phone. It’s been an hour.

  • gheppy82 Gordy Hepburn (@gheppy82) reported

    @virginmedia broadband service in Port Glasgow been terrible this past week. PA14 5LN / PA14 5AA. When will this be resolved? TV had intermittent issues too.
