  • hughesagoodboy Mark Hughes (@hughesagoodboy) reported from Birmingham, England

    Not only that, when speaking to a manager he has proceeded to cut me off and hang up after a 50 minute phone call. What kind of **** show are you running over there ? This is disgusting customer service! @virginmedia

    @Coconuts1964 @virginmedia Thanks mate. How bad is it that customers have to rely on each other for information rather than the company we pay hundreds to each year. #virginmedia terrible!!

  • SusanDaisley SueD (@SusanDaisley) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No internet in B38. Any problems?

  • CallMeJim3 Call Me Jim (@CallMeJim3) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia what is wrong with your system. Three times today we have lost service. Is your infrastructure antiquated or your engineers usless.

  • idaspley Ian Aspley (@idaspley) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia hi how do I order a new remote control mines not working and I have replaced batteries

  • ShazRahman30 Shajidur Rahman (@ShazRahman30) reported from Birmingham, England

  • simonpunch Simon Pugh (@simonpunch) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia awful service yet again, no connection since Friday due to poor installation. Complaints department phoned 3 times and not dealt with. Cut off by technical support 3 times. Shocking!

  • jamesgrvilla james avfc (@jamesgrvilla) reported from Birmingham, England

    Oh what a surprise @virginmedia is down again 😡

  • Fubz21 Fubz (@Fubz21) reported from Dudley, England

    You literally can't make this up. Working from home today and @virginmedia goes down again. Jinxed, every time I have important work to do from home the net drops. I would phone customer service but I know from past enquires they are completely useless.

  • Neil982 Neil T (@Neil982) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia seems to bollock about with their broadband at 1am on a Wednesday without fail right as #NXT #wwenxt is coming on. Seems to happen near enough every week.

  • FrancescaBeard Francesca Beard (@FrancescaBeard) reported

    @virginmedia Hi John thanks for the quick response - website reporting no known issues and Hub 4 not compatible with diagnostic tests... 2 kids homeschooling on Ethernet which thankfully is working but it means I can’t get on. No WiFi since am of the 19th

  • DayGriffiths Paul Day-Griffiths (@DayGriffiths) reported

    @virginmedia not great that in the last 3 days my broadband has gone down 3 times. First time an hour, yesterday 3 hours and now it's down again. Not acceptable when people are home working #virginmedia

  • Neverpaintagain The Never Paint Again Wall Coating company (@Neverpaintagain) reported

    Anyone know how to reach Virgin media without hanging on the phone for 2 hours listening to the worst "on hold" music too? #virginmedia #broadband #badcustomercare

  • Jeffforrest1 Jeff forrest (@Jeffforrest1) reported

    @virginmedia I want to transfer my mobile number to you but it's incredibly difficult. I can't access my online account, and your number to reset access (789) is currently unavailable, text service hasn't responded and my pac code expires today. Help!

  • adelarks a d e l a r k s | iwonderwhat (@adelarks) reported

    @virginmedia It's still bad. I am hardwired and i am sure you are not coping with capaicty as we are getting horrendous speeds

  • uk10mileshigh antony jeffery (@uk10mileshigh) reported

    @virginmedia disgraceful service . Wait in a que for 40mins cause u put my bill up by £30 for a underperforming service, then i get cut off 2 secs after they pick the phone up. Now u cant even call cause the line is busy what the hell virgin

  • Mumraa Daniel farmer (@Mumraa) reported

    @virginmedia Hi..it seems to be working again atm...but I'll let you know if I get an issue again

  • soapbarbob Rob (@soapbarbob) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is appalling. I've received an email telling me I'm to be charged £25 extra this month for a service I didnt request. I've phoned three times and each time been told they have to transfer me, and each time it's cut out. No idea what to do.

  • ady_clare Ady Clare (@ady_clare) reported

    @virginmedia That is what I have done many times. They have done nothing to help. And now it is engaged I can’t get through. So what do I do?

  • PetyuskaDoom Patch Foley (@PetyuskaDoom) reported

    @VirginMediaIE Hi Brian, another issue, when I add my payment details on IE and click pay I get redirected to a virgin media page saying Service Unavailable, although it would appear the payment went through. I normally should be redirected to a Thank You page with a transaction ID.
