  • gorman_wba Liam O'Gorman (@gorman_wba) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia Your an absolute joke of a company, you charge me £50 a month for broadband and it hasn’t worked for the last 2 months, 4 people in our street have the same problem but yet when an engineer comes out they claim they’ve fixed it when they havent,sort it out,disgrace.

  • markshawnwo mark shaw (@markshawnwo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia internet down in Birmingham checked with reported issues and not known anything else reported it

  • bevvyxo_ ✨ Hannah ✨ (@bevvyxo_) reported from Solihull, England

    Spent 45 mins on the phone to @virginmedia to agree a new contract. I didn’t receive the confirmation email as agreed so rang up to check only to be hold there was no record of it and they couldn’t honour it. 10/10 customer service there 🙄

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Tried the text service. No response. So in the unlikely event of an engineer visit later, at least I tried.

  • tonymartin82211 tonymartin (@tonymartin82211) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia up to their scams again and when you get through all the button pressing on the phone and are past from one to another then when you start asking questions they hang up .

  • scgough §↯mØn (@scgough) reported from Birmingham, England

    Anyone else experiencing DNS issues for certain sites. UK based. I’m getting unresolved errors via virgin media net but ok via mobile data. #dns #networking

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    I can’t call you because @ThreeUKSupport are providing a crap service and have been for 3 weeks because of a bit of rain! Time to have a chat with @virginmedia @O2 @VodafoneUK I think, neither #Sky not #Three value customers. @Three_Is_Broken

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

    @BankerJase @virginmedia I’ve yet to deal with a Virgin Media team that provide decent customer service. Which is why I’ve given up on TV/Telephone. Broadband will only last if they maintain a service.

  • hiltonleanne79 Leanne (@hiltonleanne79) reported from Birmingham, England

    Does anybody actually work at @virginmedia Customer Services! Have been on hold for over 20 mins on phone and is the second time I’ve had to call, no response on messaging either! Can anyone from @virginmedia assist before I raise this further with CEO @TomMockridgeVM

  • hiltonleanne79 Leanne (@hiltonleanne79) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’m sure you’re really sorry...sorted now without any help from yourselves. I do hope your CEO is aware of how shockingly abysmal your customer service is and I speak from experience.

  • BrummieGem Lady Gemma (@BrummieGem) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia need to change their hold music - I’ve just listened to the same song 3 times!!! 😤 I’m sure they just want me to put the phone down!!! 🙉

  • EgglestonMathew Mat 🏳️‍🌈 (@EgglestonMathew) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s been an issue since we had it installed . Had 3 engineers visit. Never works at full speed

  • carl_morgan3 carl morgan (@carl_morgan3) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue with services in the B90 area. Cheers

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

    @virginmedia It’s only been in the past few weeks that it’s gotten so bad. I was getting updates 2 weeks ago from @EE saying they were doing work in my area, but have heard nothing since. Shame you don’t have wi-fi calling

  • corbettcollins Ash Corbett-Collins (@corbettcollins) reported from Birmingham, England

    @gaz112 @virginmedia That'll be the same @virginmedia that sends passwords out by post, complete with other sign in information. They're pretty much a joke at this point.

  • _baggyaaron baggy (@_baggyaaron) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia fuming. Just been in his for half hour for someone to end the call as soon as they pick up. Awful service

  • Kal_Ajimal Kal Ajimal (@Kal_Ajimal) reported from Solihull, England

    How hard is it to report a problem to my landline telephone @virginmedia totally ridiculous been on hold 30 minutes

  • gjw1603 Gary Webber (@gjw1603) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Price rises, overseas call centers, the time spent on the phone listening to the nausiating voice. Suggest you look at social media and learn about your shocking reputation and customer service. Im out !!

  • EleniKyriazi 𝓔𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓲 𝓚𝔂𝓻𝓲𝓪𝔃𝓲 (@EleniKyriazi) reported

    @Ofcom please find evidence that @virginmedia is passing customs from teams to teams with no reason & without resolution. Clearly poor customer service!

  • suziealderton #hellomynameisSuzie (@suziealderton) reported

    @ConstableChaos @virginmedia @virginmedia are awful-but we can’t use anyone else at the moment because we live in a new build, can’t wait til we can end the contract!

  • ptmv69 paul mcvey (@ptmv69) reported

    @virginmedia Was told on Friday on the phone that this was classed as a non urgent issue and the job was only allocated on Friday So what I was told was wrong ?or what your telling me is wrong ?

  • JoeJone22150871 Joe Jones (@JoeJone22150871) reported

    @virginmedia Everything has now been clarified after a very long wait for assistance yesterday., after approximately waiting 6 hours for help. I have a new contract hopefully starting in June. It would have been about a 10 minute call if only I could have spoken directly to a human by phone

  • MickyyCee 3 Litre Peter (@MickyyCee) reported

    @virginmedia Why should I just not disconnect and reconnect for a new customer price? 2/2

  • chrisbhoy13 chris mcallister (@chrisbhoy13) reported

    @virginmedia what a disgrace the call team are, lying and not listening to what the customer has in email right in front of them 😡

  • EleniKyriazi 𝓔𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓲 𝓚𝔂𝓻𝓲𝓪𝔃𝓲 (@EleniKyriazi) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband Refund. Existing customer trying to close my account & get the refund owed. What is the dedicated team?

  • mvspano matt spano (@mvspano) reported

    @virginmedia all services off in se19 1sj since yesterday afternoon (tv, broadband). All neighbours services not working either Your website shows no issues. Tried to call but couldn't through. Can you please resolve.

  • JNH77 James Harrison (@JNH77) reported

    Was advised yesterday by @virginmedia to try their WhatsApp customer “support” after two months of no call backs from them regarding them setting up a SIM card that I declined. Messaged their WhatsApp support yesterday - still waiting for a response.

  • Lauramkle73 Laura (@Lauramkle73) reported

    @virginmedia It is. 360 box, just called again today. It would seem that despite being promised for the 4th time on Friday it still hadn’t been processed, so 5th time lucky. If this doesn’t happen now I will cancel, absolutely shocking customer service.
