  • 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?

  • AnnaavfcEdwards edowards (@AnnaavfcEdwards) reported from Birmingham, England

    No sound on my TV for 4 days, tried all the usual re boots and resets, countless calls to virgin on hold for over an hr only to be cut off, am now waiting for a callback off them that probably won’t come, disgraceful service,can anyone help @virginmedia

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

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

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

  • AnnaavfcEdwards edowards (@AnnaavfcEdwards) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Still no help for her she’s now back at work tomorrow and not home till 6.30 pm just not good enough !!

  • MattyladKRO Matt Smith (@MattyladKRO) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I hung on for 45 mins then you hung up ....disgusting customer service tell me why I shouldn’t just cancel and go elsewhere after suing you for breach of contract

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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!

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

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

  • MattyladKRO Matt Smith (@MattyladKRO) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia That service is useless it makes up things that isn’t the question I ask

  • SkulyMusic Skuly (@SkulyMusic) reported from Aldridge, England

    @virginmedia Yes we have done every trouble shooting piece of advice under the sun

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • RobOFeckit Rob Begley (@RobOFeckit) reported

    @virginmedia Hi again, where is my Virgin media package still offline?? This is unreal! When will you fix it? Why am I getting no support or communication about this? A technician informed me on Monday that external work needed to be done. ??????????

  • SamirAhmed93 SK (@SamirAhmed93) reported

    @virginmedia hi I was meant to be sent a form via email to claim some comp back for my serviced being down. Its been 7 days and I still haven't received anything. Can you help?

  • JamRuler89 James (@JamRuler89) reported

    @virginmedia I finally managed to get in touch with someone who is going to call the customer directly. She’s very frightened about all these suspect calls threatening about money leaving the account.

  • TomSpeed420 Tom Speed (@TomSpeed420) reported

    @virginmedia We have 3 phones on VM network, 2 are Note 7's, but mine's an old LG K3 4G, it only happened on the LG. It happened yesterday too, but as I say, I didn't catch where it came from and I thought it was my PC GPU giving me an alarm due to overheating or something.

  • tlcko1882 Burnley Dave:Not woke just human.💙🌈🍺🇪🇺 (@tlcko1882) reported

    @journokeith @virginmedia That's the problem,especially when you also have the phone involved. I wish you luck 🤞

  • H_WolvesYYA H (@H_WolvesYYA) reported

    @virginmedia are your customer service team aware that you are doing UHD for sky sports as I’m trying to add the service on a package and I’m being told it’s just for HD?

  • Smfak8 Samantha (@Smfak8) reported

    @jtok93 @virginmedia the worst customer service

  • ThatManDoc Christopher Foster (@ThatManDoc) reported

    @virginmedia And the clients who call me in the mean time? We’ve been with you for YEARS. Losing the ability to use two phone sockets in the house is the last straw. (The TV buffers too). You’re too expensive and now you’re providing an inferior phone service for the same money.
