  • Linnyjolz62 Lynn Jolly (@Linnyjolz62) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Held on for 45 mins on Friday and today. Was told there were "communication issues" on Friday and the guy I was speaking to said he'd call me back straightaway on my landline. He didn't. I tried again today to be told they couldn't access the system and that I should call again.

  • MrRichAnderson Richard Anderson 💙 (@MrRichAnderson) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia Really poor service today. Loyal customer, since day 1 Spent over an hour on the phone and still paying a lot of money for equipment that doesn't work. Solution, just reset everything, switch it off and on again! Really??? TV box 8 years old! Not a valued customer.

  • aquaticsmum64 AJKearney (@aquaticsmum64) reported from Aldridge, England

    Hey @virginmedia Had a contract with you for years but the TV service is terrible. Called to sort - gave details including PW for account via auto system (all correct). Person said the name on my AC is different??? My bill is in my name! Left hanging on for 28 mins then cut off!

  • tr0y1291 Troy (@tr0y1291) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia are an absolute disgrace. The broadband has been down more than in use over the last 12 months. My 1 year old would do a better job in the call centre they use.

  • jadebcx jade (@jadebcx) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why would my router be red lighting if the internet is fine? i read online it means there’s an error with my connection but there isn’t any problem 🥴

    @virginmedia hi I need some help please. I need a box installed at my address and I'm hard of hearing so I find it difficult to use the phone. Is there any way I can book a engineer appointment online as that is easier for me. Thanks

  • PrinciplePhoto Ian Dunn (@PrinciplePhoto) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Waited 1 hour online for the agent. Then she disconnected me. Absolutely awful service.

  • AndrewBH ABH (@AndrewBH) reported

    @virginmedia Sure! His bill had jumped from £90 to £147. He called #virginmedia to ask for help. So you just increased everything! 350Mb to 1Gb. A free SIM to one which cost £25 a month. Shameful, shameful, shameful.

  • IanWrightyian ian (@IanWrightyian) reported

    @virginmedia I've already made a complaint but now can't come out for another month to be put right . JOKE #virginmedia

  • james_a_tanner James Tanner (@james_a_tanner) reported

    @virginmedia I have. Pretty useless. Engineers ONLY available until 7pm. Line test showed everything fine. I knew it would be because as mentioned ITS ONLY IN THE EVENING IT GOES TO S**T. So if your internet issues are mostly in the evenings you can’t get an engineer

  • james_a_tanner James Tanner (@james_a_tanner) reported

    @virginmedia the whole internal network would lock up. I complained about this multiple times over 2 years ago. Finally gave up and put router in Modem Mode and installed EERO WiFi routers. At least that way, if internet dies, the internal network survives and everything still works

  • rachiecheeks Rachel (@rachiecheeks) reported

    @virginmedia and for the third time this month. Left all weekend with total loss of service. No engineer til Wednesday. Getting boring now!

  • domioGeordio Dom (@domioGeordio) reported

    @virginmedia That didn't answer my question and I've never needed to do that before when moving

  • james_a_tanner James Tanner (@james_a_tanner) reported

    @virginmedia Nope - doesn't work. No chat is popping up! :(

  • james_a_tanner James Tanner (@james_a_tanner) reported

    @virginmedia Come play Fortnite with me at 10pm and watch the internet crap out within 10mins of trying to play and hitting 1100+ ping. It’s happened every night for 2 weeks!

  • David_Reedman D@ViD R€€dMaN (@David_Reedman) reported

    @virginmedia All I want is to order 1 of those WiFi pods coz the broadband doesn't reach every room. Yes Iv done the app thing. I've been trying to find how to do it all day. Phone put down on me. Ignored on live chat. Just left waiting. I pay you guys enough money each month. It's a joke

  • MrsSarahP1 Sarah Pickering (@MrsSarahP1) reported

    @virginmedia you are absolutely useless!! Not only couldn't we log on the O2 priority the other day, our internet goes down just as we're paying for Peter Kay tickets today, thankyou, we lost our tickets .....well done😡
