    @virginmedia why is the Sky Sports red button not working

  • frugalista1 Frugalista (@frugalista1) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia Typical Virgin Media response. Passing me on. Not actually solving the problem. I will never come back to @virginmedia and will advise all my friends never to think of using you.

  • jordyanslow1 jordy (@jordyanslow1) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia any chance of an update regarding the outage in my local area regarding internet connection? It’s been down 2 days straight!

  • robchippyman Rob Chipman (@robchippyman) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.

  • Stephen12857059 Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

  • CaseyRain Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, England

    Had an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Just called your offshore call centre regarding my internet connection. I’m having the same issues as I had when I got a £154 credit from you. /1

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.

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

    All TV boxes playing up , had issues for a couple of days now can’t get through on phones is there any issues in B37 area ? @virginmedia also I’ve been waiting nearly 2 years for my wifi booster

  • kolapoagunbiade TheBosz (@kolapoagunbiade) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent. A/c number: 095063606. I was charged x2.5 of what i was tp pay.

    @virginmedia guess what ********* your system is down again. Useless pricks.

  • Phil_Bonna Bonna (@Phil_Bonna) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Angela_Griffin @virginmedia I have the fibre optic broadband for £23.95 month and the customer service is great

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia 2/ Despite that issue being due to a junction connection in the cabinet in the street, the op seems to refuse to look at that and just wants to reboot my router. Also claims it is due to my use of Modem Mode. Is there anyone in the UK I can contact regarding this?

  • DeanCondliffe dean condliffe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@DeanCondliffe) reported from Birmingham, England

    The day ends with a Y 🤝 Virgin media not working again

  • CaseyRain Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, England

    Causing me to drop out of a work meeting once every 10 minutes. Oh, and Virgin tried to blame it on my hardware? Except... My neighbour is seeing the EXACT same thing. This wasn't happening before the outage. @virginmedia why am I paying you lots of money for a spotty connection?

  • Stephen12857059 Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I called 150 today to speak to a Supervisor regarding my bill. I was told I would receive a call within the hour. NOTHING. I agreed a contract 18/8/22 and the last two payments have been £65 & £75 more than agreed. This is shocking customer care and service.

    @catherine_mayer @virginmedia Looking forward to reading the book Catherine. Your mum is amazing. I’m with you on @virginmedia - it’s been unusable in TW1 for WEEKS. I’ve been locked in a call back system - where I never get called back - for 6 weeks

  • Igordon20 I gordon (@Igordon20) reported

    @virginmedia can you please help? Moved house and NOBODY in virgin media can update the mew address and install the internet. Spoke to 10 people, for hours. Desperation. Of course you will still charge me full bill despite NOT having internet.

  • DazGraham22 Darren Graham (@DazGraham22) reported

    @RedRoseMichelle @virginmedia Only thing worse than their internet is trying to actually speak to someone about their terrible internet 😤

  • ellasw1081 Ella Shaw-Wright (@ellasw1081) reported

    @virginmedia Is there no way that I can cancel online or let you know that I am moving address so wish to cancel services online- DD already been cancelled with bank. I am not happy at all with this service when I pay £121 a month for it!

  • pompeyhedge ed francis (@pompeyhedge) reported

    @virginmedia why is my broadband so crap at 3 in the morning??? It's bad enough it's always diabolical all through the day! Complete and utter joke of a company @libertyglobal

  • AndrewB13613564 Andrew Baillie (@AndrewB13613564) reported

    @virginmedia nice to see your responding to others that posted after I did and not to me. Sums up the service I've had from your company. Your customer service is non existent

  • jonudry Jon Udry (@jonudry) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. My internet just random cuts of at different times. Also, the connection speed is sometimes slow. Can we arrange a time for you to call? As I have never been able to get through to someone on the phone when I call you.

  • TimmyLeeOwens Timmy10P (@TimmyLeeOwens) reported

    @virginmedia I replied way before the deadline time it gave me. Why would it then give the appt to someone else? That would be pretty stupid.. no point calling that number you don’t get through to anyone. Have a good mind just to cancel the entire contract if this is the customer service.

  • SpursKS ° Тоттенхэм (@SpursKS) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for not replying... No one turned up.. And now planned. For the 12th... Another let down pending?? Awful service!!!

  • AlgerianRelief Algerian Relief (@AlgerianRelief) reported

    @virginmedia you are an embarrassment for a company who provide broadband, it’s not working and keep dropping. Can’t even leave your lousy service without threat of paying months of contract ... shame on you
