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

    @virginmedia Could you also tell me why I cannot stream recorded programs when I’m away from home as I am required to be on the same Wi-Fi network which kind of defeats the object

  • mo4g_777 mo4g (@mo4g_777) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia services for broadband once again not working B42,

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia internet down again, youd think I'd be used to this by now 🤣 always an excuse and never get anything back for the lack of usage. I'm barely in the house using it so dread to think how many times it goes down when I'm not in potentially using it 🤙

  • JaneCampionHoye Jane Campion Hoye (@JaneCampionHoye) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I have a technician coming on Tues to replace SuperHub but need specific technical support to restore Sent box on PC. Windows say object not found error Ox8004010F. VM techs used to help in past at level 2 or 3. Now it's impossible to get past level 1 tech support.

  • _Rachele_ Rachele 🍷 (@_Rachele_) reported from Redditch, England

    Looool. Virgin Media down again. Go to put our postcode in to see if service is affected in Redditch & apparently it's not a valid postcode. At least for a week every night the internet has gone down for about 20 minutes. Not the end of the world of course but a tad frustrating.

  • Jasonhannon85 Jason Hannon (@Jasonhannon85) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Hi, no reply, no email, please can I have a complaint number

  • Jasonhannon85 Jason Hannon (@Jasonhannon85) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Hi I’ve had no email reply and no money sent over! Please can this get sorted ASAP! This is awful customer service!

  • Lbacollections Laura-Jayne Brushett (@Lbacollections) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia So 5 hours later and the rearranging of my house move has produced a "mismatch" on ur system meaning I have to wait 24hrs to ring u again and start over. What a terrible service!

  • glynn_lauren Lauren Glynn (@glynn_lauren) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia c130 issue is the name of my life. No network issues in my area, restart the box, every week anything longer than an hour on Netflix is unwatchable 😫

  • jamies144 J (@jamies144) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia That it can not login.

  • PhilTonks2 Phil Tonks (@PhilTonks2) reported from Dudley, England

    @WalnutTalking Moved to Virgin Media from TalkTalk last month. Best thing I did. Quite honestly the worst company I have ever dealt with.

  • Jasonhannon85 Jason Hannon (@Jasonhannon85) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia I can’t believe im saying this again, but no money has come through again after being told it would be in my account in two days (phoned Thursday) time to make a proper complaint

  • mredwards Mark Edwards (@mredwards) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Yes and all it did was tell me that our kitchen is a WiFi dead zone... The main issue is that we have loads of devices and I think we are overloading our hub’s capabilities.

  • Jasonhannon85 Jason Hannon (@Jasonhannon85) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Can you send me the number to make a formal complaint please, as this is silly, I’ve had no reply from virgin recycle email and now I can’t get through on the phone

  • JaneCampionHoye Jane Campion Hoye (@JaneCampionHoye) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, thanks for getting back to me. All my VM services were down in past 48 hours. Now restored. BUT you seem to have deleted my Sent Box from Virgin email Server. I had 2 sent boxes, but the one deleted is the major one synced to my Windows 10 so can't send imp work documents!!

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

    @virginmedia It’s not about my package ...virgin will not show in HD they’ve told me ..so it’s down to you to answer...please

  • grimm_karl Grimm (@grimm_karl) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Shocking customer service signed up a few weeks ago for fibre given an installation date called the day before to ask me when I would like to book the install then telling me they have a problem on the site and will get in touch in 7 days.

  • DixeyBaker Sharon Baker (@DixeyBaker) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why can I never get through .... I get a letter saying please call us ...... 25 mins on hold so far .... so frustrating

  • JaneCampionHoye Jane Campion Hoye (@JaneCampionHoye) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia obviously massive problems!! All services down for 2 days, now reinstalled but they've deleted my Sent box on their server so I can't email documents, badly affects work and no technical support. They just cut out and hang up!!!

  • MidWorldMo ooom (@MidWorldMo) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @SammyDamage Virgin media are an expensive shit show of a service I just want a 'strong and stable' WiFi signal in my bedroom. (See what I did there 😝)

    @virginmedia No worries it’s just I’m having trouble with the screen I don’t know why but in a certain point of the screen nothing will type no apparent damage

  • Wee_Linz_ 👸🏻 Queen Wee Linz 👸🏻 (@Wee_Linz_) reported

    @Mamaof5Ibns @virginmedia I'm sorry you've had the same shocking service from @YodelOnline as I have. The tracking states its at depot the online rep states its with a driver. They don't appear to know where it is and don't seem to be concerned! My tracker hasn't been updated since 7.35am today.
