  • ann_wilson0121 Lisa Wilson (@ann_wilson0121) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why sell us a package when you do not have the correct infrastructure in place! 30 minutes on hold today, I’m giving up. We didn’t have these issues with Sky.

  • 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...

  • clareywilliams clare williams (@clareywilliams) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia worst customer service I have ever come across!!! Arrange a call back time....dont bother to call back, then continue to bill me for a contract ended nearly months ago!!!!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!!!

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

    @virginmedia Yes, security cameras, nest heating, hue bulbs. Less frequently. But still happens. Everything works for a while then something or several things stop. Never everything. We have entirely re-set everything once, which takes hours to sort and is not an answer.

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

    @virginmedia hi Iv no internet could you run a check down my line please

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Literally three years of the same inconsistency. And appalling customer service when you speak to anyone. There is nothing you have done or will do to improve this. As soon as I can get a decent speed from another local company I’ll be gone.

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

    @virginmedia Okay. Just that Twitter asked me to sign into it and results would give you access. Thanks for clarification...just really dont understand why I have to go to a forum to get tech support for an error Virgin has made.

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

    If my internet goes down again in the next hour @virginmedia I'm voting Labour!!!!!!

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

    @virginmedia There is no weak signal. I’ve checked all around the house repeatedly. There are no faults in the area. I have checked repeatedly. Customer services have been unhelpful on multiple calls. Had to fight to get an upgraded hub!

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

    @virginmedia No. It’s usually just one of the connected devices we lose at a time. Most often speakers but sometimes security cameras, sometimes hue bulbs. Never everything at once.

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

    @virginmedia My computer guy HAS looked at your forum. We know what the problem is but it needs technical support your end to fix it. It would take the right person 2 mins but we cant get past your incredibly poor customer service to get any kind of tech support. So stressful & frustrating.

  • theblackstrat THEBLACKSTRAT (@theblackstrat) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Why do you have to continually restart the phone to get rid of the red icon on The phone app icon even when you’ve deleted the voicemail It seems this is a major problem with you I would appreciate you resolving it all as otherwise the phone is not fit for purpose

  • 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.

    And now @virginmedia broadband isn't connecting to some sites, but others are fine and they don't see a problem, as always.
