    Anybody in B37 with a @virginmedia box having problems with their boxes rebooting? Ours has done it twice without warning this evening.

  • richiebunn Dickie B (@richiebunn) reported from West Bromwich, England

    The award for the worst ever customer service goes to @virginmedia over an hours wait to get through.

  • benavfcfranklin Ben Franklin. (@benavfcfranklin) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is running at 3.4 download speed. This is the 3rd time I’ve contacted and done tests and still no fix has been made.

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    I can’t get because Hub 3 doesn’t support it, poor quality control, worse customer service @virginmedia I want it sorted today!!

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Just phoned, spent 35 minutes on hold, call answered, questions asked, checks being carried out.......... Phone gets put down!!! Do you expect me to call again for the same atrocious service?? @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog

  • AndyTDEJ Andy H (@AndyTDEJ) reported from Dudley, England

    I think @virginmedia are attempting to outdo @TUIUK for the worst customer services . I’ve spent 45 mins on hold so far waiting to speak to a human . Doesn’t beat 3 and half hours trying Tui but bless Virgin they’re trying. Just appalling 👍

  • benavfcfranklin Ben Franklin. (@benavfcfranklin) reported from Dudley, England

    @LDTomo @virginmedia **** that they ain’t having more money off me when their speeds should be much better. It’s never been this bad so there’s an issue somewhere.

  • mercede72928186 Mercedes Hodson 👷🏻‍♂️💁🏼‍♀️ (@mercede72928186) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @Carol74438555 I was having issues with Virgin media too but they are sending me an updated box out so hopefully it will be ok then

  • NannieHelen Helen Croft (@NannieHelen) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia It’s the WIFi and what can you do about it? I’ve been a customer for many many years and this issue is causing aggravation. Surely I should expect uninterrupted service all day every day. It’s not cheap either is it??

  • henry_1664 Andrew Grove (@henry_1664) reported from Birmingham, England

    Can anyone tell me how you get @virginmedia to respond to and deal with complaints? I am at the end of my tether with them! I have raised 4 complaints now and they have unsatisfactorily responded to 1 which I called back about to keep the complaint open only for them to close...

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Absolutely atrocious customer service! Waited for my Hub 4 to arrive as we are now paying for highest broadband, it arrives and has wrong power cable inside, phoned to sort, on hold for 20 mins then speak to someone who has IT issues and has put us on 40 mins hold!

  • ninsull Nickins (@ninsull) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia how can you spend nearly an hour on two phones to report a problem with no one picking up. Yet ask me if il refer you. @next stop I’m cancelling my contract.

  • leeharris85 lee harris (@leeharris85) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia customer service as good as ever told I’m being put through to another team.... then cut off

  • benavfcfranklin Ben Franklin. (@benavfcfranklin) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Yes this was after I reset. I have been trying a hub reset regularly and it doesn’t help. How do I check the package I am on? Im not sure.

  • RoyKyffin Roy Kyffin (@RoyKyffin) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why has my mobile signal strength dropped now Virgin Mobile is piggybacking off Vodafone? Used to be full strength when you used EE.

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    And now you have been offline for over half a day with your website still saying there is no known issue?! I want to make an official complaint to both @virginmedia and @Ofcom , Your service is appalling and your customer service even worse.

  • leeharris85 lee harris (@leeharris85) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried calling got through being on hold for 30 minutes waiting to speak to a manager as I’ve been told I need to pay for something others have free and been cut out again!!!

  • benavfcfranklin Ben Franklin. (@benavfcfranklin) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia No they asked me to do some checks which I did then never got a response again. This has been going on weeks now.

  • benavfcfranklin Ben Franklin. (@benavfcfranklin) reported from Dudley, England

    @LDTomo @virginmedia 3 times I’ve contacted them now & they’ve done **** all about it. Want £100+ to move a router as well the jokers.

  • MartinClarke165 Martin Clarke (@MartinClarke165) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No service still. Outrageous. No customer support. Online mths all day. Great advert for Virgin. The most reliable broadband provider #poorservice

    @virginmedia No I didn’t and I don’t remember receiving one. I have checked all my emails from you and nothing. I rang a couple of days ago to ask for a discount and was basically told to get lost. I spend £100 a month with you guys and was shocked at the service. Account name Lisa Morley.
