Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

MJP - mastodonapp.uk/@mrmjprice (@mrmjprice) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia It’s on both WiFi and wired. At this present moment I’m unable to get ANY network from the router on both.
-
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
-
Neil Simpson (@nippa77) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia why is it that your service is up and down more than a yo-yo? It’s getting ridiculous now!!!
-
hayley chapman (@haychapperz) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia what is going on B31 5 still without Broadband & TV from 11am and now being told fix is 12pm tomorrow. I have been unable to work all day & now problem is going in to tomorrow. This is unacceptable & I hope refunds for loss of service will be applied to all accounts.

Trickie Dickie (@NickHickey84) reported from Bradmore, England@virginmedia a customer of yours for years. Had a cpi increase letter to say leave with out penalty. Competitor massively cheaper than you for faster speeds. Only to be told by a colleague I have to pay £110 to leave today?
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, EnglandEnded up just reconnecting my TP Link router, it seems the problems were with my Hub 5 because everything seems to be working fine now. Not great @virginmedia
-
Shelly (@shelleex5) reported from West Bromwich, England@virginmedia red button not working again!! @skytv, does yours work? #FedUp missing baggies after my shift 😪
-
Ashley Day (@AshleyDay1971) reported from Woodside, England@virginmedia Internet down again, 3rd day I'm a row. Can't even check status on your website as its not loading properly. When will it be fixed?
-
Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England@virginmedia You have just repeated, word for word, the last tweet you sent me, to which I replied! Pointless trying to have any conversation with @virginmedia because it just goes round in circles! The most appalling customer services in UK in my experience! No more tweets from you, please!
-
Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Himley, England@virginmedia The status checker says intermittent signal in your area. It's disgusting with how much I pay for broadband.
-
𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚑 (@beffycuk) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia Yes, and every-time it says no issue, when there clearly is! It interferes with everything, the hive, the tv everything! Really considering going elsewhere.
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Birmingham, England@virginmedia But when a contract is agreed like a mortgage or a fixed energy deal surely the agreement should last the full term. I’ve had issues since September & been told I can’t leave due to being under a contract so why should my costs go up when I’ve got an agreement in place until Dec
-
Robin 🤘🏻 (@RobinB1971) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia signed up for your new broadband and still waiting for the stuff to arrive. Apparently parcel is still at @YodelOnline main hub. This is the SECOND day I've cancelled things and waited for it to arrive as yet to no avail. WTF is going on!?! 🤬
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Swindon, EnglandAny news on outages in B37? Also how do I get compensation for loss of svcs (inc my TV not working properly since September) @virginmedia
-
Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England@virginmedia Yes, the fault dates back from the 25th August and hopefully a fix will be made tomorrow, if not an engineer is booked for next week. When I finally got through the team were very helpful

-
Marina Robb (@MarinaRobb) reported@MelJanie @virginmedia Tellingly, the engineer who eventually came out (I'd already cancelled the service) said they still had to fit the back up line as they'd been fined £28 million by the regulator. Appalling customer service though.
-
BB (@TheWazzo) reported@virginmedia @FredWhitbread You didn’t need to send your standard reply, everything you needed to know was in Fred’s post, he’s trying to help you.
-
John 🏴🇬🇧 (@John_Of_Eng) reported@virginmedia your app and customer service are absolutely dreadful. I only want to change a direct debit date for Christs sake.
-
Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported@virginmedia @virginmedia Can you please confirm whether the Sky Sports+ TV fault I reported on 15th August has now been fully resolved? I want to watch @ColU_Official tonight on Sky Sports+ through my Virgin TV service, so I need to know that the previous problem has been fixed.
-
Gauci Reports (@GauciReports) reported@LPXIOP This isn’t anything new tbh. The two copper networks are basically BT & Virgin Media. They’ve been migrating across to VOIP (Voice over ip) for a long time now. Unfortunately copper networks have become old and expensive to maintain and quality of service just deteriorates over time with fault calls, replacing cables and customer complaints etc.

Lifes MIS-Takes (@alan_reddish) reportedNeed some proper answers from @virginmedia. No internet for 5th day.....estimated fix 4th Sept!!
