  • AmritPahal Amrit Pahal (@AmritPahal) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia absolutely pathetic service, trying to run a business that relies on taking cards payments,I switched to you for the secureness of the line over fibre, since I’ve switched I’ve had more down time than standard internet! Callled up told nothing can be done until 9am!!

  • rogj82 Roger James (@rogj82) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia 1/2 - I have never know such a disgusting company!! Having answered a call last week from this number 0345 454 1098 (your retentions), where your employee rudely cut me off when I said I could’nt talk at the time, hounded every day since with calls, right up until...

  • rogj82 Roger James (@rogj82) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia 2/2- just when my wife answered the phone and your employee told her to f**k off when she politely declined any new deals or offers! Absolutely digusting, glad to be leaving and fair to say if that is how you treat customers of 11 years in total we will never be back

  • davecres Dave (@davecres) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia No days no known problem but clearly with so many people waking up this morning and posting on twitter issues there must be an issue somewhere. Eg one of your switches down or dhcp server not issuing an IP to the hub so it can’t continue

  • dianej1980 di (@dianej1980) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Mobile service

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes it does. Apparently there is a known issue in the area and it won’t be fixed until 12 tonight. This is not good enough

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s not a good enough response. You’re providing a sub bar service and yet I’m still paying my bill in full. I expect a discount until the matter is resolved.

  • Patchwork_Boy Craig Whitehouse (@Patchwork_Boy) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Hi, my internet is down. The connection (arrows) symbol is flashing and have been since about 3am. Tried restarting router, didn't fix it. Advice, please.

  • mercede72928186 Mercedes Hodson (@mercede72928186) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @virginmedia Was on wireless and re booted the box didn’t work, however it’s working now as you seemed to have fixed the issue. Thank you

  • mercede72928186 Mercedes Hodson (@mercede72928186) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @Ord_Norm_Bloke Yes Virgin media Wi-Fi is a bit crap I agree

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia The link you provide is entirely not the problem. We’ve had the same issue for 2 years. It doesn’t stop being a problem. And every time we contact someone about it, we get the same advice because there’s no continuation. Please read the message chain if you’re going to reply.

  • Saq5000 Saqib (@Saq5000) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia The problem has sorted it self out for some reason as I got a message telling me that picture settings were updated when I had turned the box off for a whole day and turned it on again this morning

  • BrimmellDen Den Brimmell (@BrimmellDen) reported from Wednesfield, England

    So glad we dumped #virginmedia 18 months ago,they’re hopeless & their customer service is non-existent!

  • JoDtw Jo Darby (@JoDtw) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia There isn't a fault. It's never been particularly good.

  • dianej1980 di (@dianej1980) reported from Birmingham, England

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

  • Utd_4_eva United forever (@Utd_4_eva) reported

    @virginmedia Yep done that just says there’s issues doesn’t say what your doing about it or how long you expect it to go on for By the way this is the 7th time this year I’ve had to call you lot up I get the same poor service everytime I think it’s time @Ofcom get a complaint

  • DiegoD8Ochoa Diego Ochoa (@DiegoD8Ochoa) reported

    @VMO2News @virginmedia PS: since we have to hotspot our 4G from @O2 to have video calls all day I hope that my refund covers both the Virgin bill and the O2 bill for me, my partner, my neighbours and anyone else in SE19 that are getting screwed by your issue.

  • siobhanTivoli Siobhan O'Beirne (@siobhanTivoli) reported

    Very disappointed as I waited in from 12pm to 4 pm for Virgin Media technician to call to fix broadband @VirginMediaIE doubly disappointing as it takes over 1 hour to get through to them by phone.. not exactly great service!

  • petewylie Pete Wylie is WAH!🌟 (@petewylie) reported

    @chapoiron @virginmedia That’s where the problems started!🤬

  • razza_mattaz Ryan Matthams (@razza_mattaz) reported

    @virginmedia I have recently moved and made yourselves aware. I have now called 4 times to try and get a pack sent to me to return my kit and still nothing has shown up. I've now received an email saying I'm going to be charged for the unreturned items. Can someone please help?

  • sgabsy gift-of-the-gab (@sgabsy) reported

    @virginmedia It is still unstable....quite frustrating to be honest.

  • joany7 Joan Sanderson (@joany7) reported

    @virginmedia So now all I get as I go through questions is oops this page is broken. Useless.

  • neilredmondking Neil Redmond-King (@neilredmondking) reported

    @virginmedia Can you confirm this is the same issue as I’ve been contacting you about for weeks or is it something else?

  • IanSlater1990 Ian Slater (@IanSlater1990) reported

    @virginmedia So if you don’t know about the issue because your automated telephone message says you do and then says you don’t, how am I supposed to report an issue?

  • SiZatMac Si (@SiZatMac) reported

    @virginmedia I wouldn't be as unhappy if you customer service called me and sorted out my sim so we could get online as you (VM) state. Or had a customer service team that could actually provide a decent service. #virginmedia #virginmediadown #terriblecustomerservice
