  • HJMKent Howard Martin (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia Yes but I just tells me there are no problems. It did the same thing a few weeks ago but stopped when I held wifi button down - it's now constantly flashing & that wont stop it & web site says in normal operating all green lights should be off.

  • SammyLouisee_ sammy♥ (@SammyLouisee_) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    So after having problems with @virginmedia mobile decided to join @ThreeUK let’s hope this is a better network 🙌🏻

  • DickyDodd Dicky Dodd (@DickyDodd) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    So I've been on hold to @virginmedia Customer retentions for 17 minutes... Unreal.

  • AmbitiousMusic AMBITIOUS 🎶🎸🔊 (@AmbitiousMusic) reported from Birmingham, England

    Ok so the @EE connection on my phone is far superior then my home @virginmedia WiFi. May switch. #virgin is crap!! 🖕🏽

  • terrysankey Terry Sankey (@terrysankey) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @SimonADouglas @virginmedia We have the occasional internet problem but since the last announced 'update' the hub seems to be resetting itself. Doesn't matter to the 'wired' machines but obviously disconnects the WiFi! Irritating as the restart times are long and inputting the names/password is a pain 🙄

  • Mitz__P Mitesh Parmar (@Mitz__P) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia do you have broadband issues in #Solihull as the service appears to have gone down. According to your service status page tho there aren't any issues 🤔 I beg to differ!

  • DickyDodd Dicky Dodd (@DickyDodd) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    Now holding for 20 minutes @virginmedia Customer retention department obviously trying a different tactic to keep me as a customer I've been with this company since 1997 and this how I have to be treated.

  • DickyDodd Dicky Dodd (@DickyDodd) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia You seem to find it very easy to let go a loyal customer of 23 years. You won't be that sad.

  • Sammykins9486 Samantha (@Sammykins9486) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s media. I have sent off the details to change account holder name and heard nothing back it has been over 2 weeks, can’t get anywhere when i contact your call centre. I need a change to our services and need support with this

  • ArcanumDesign Bill Bishop (@ArcanumDesign) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia Tom, I already have, and they refused to match the same cost when the introductory offer finishes. You are still over charging me £125 p.a. for being an existing customer. Please have a UK customer manager contact me

  • Plumberguyuk Mike Hamer (@Plumberguyuk) reported from Birmingham, England

    Virgin Media should be reported to the advertising standards, for lies, what a total load of crap, try getting your customer service telling the truth for a start .

  • Wolvesblogger Nathan Lloyd (@Wolvesblogger) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Cheers for the top. Yes, tv & broadband services issues with an estimated fix time of 23:55. I may have to crack open the Scrabble & the candles. Now I know how people felt in the black outs during the war!

  • DarranAttwell Darran Attwell (@DarranAttwell) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia can someone help me with a bill... I’ve been charged twice for the same bill both times overcharged. And I’m struggling over the phone.. can someone please DM me please

  • GeorgieMaley Georgie Colley (@GeorgieMaley) reported from Kidderminster, England

    Why can’t media providers just get into the 21st century and make it easier for households, by having contracts based on a joint accounts. That way, both home owners can call up about any problems! Data protection my arse @virginmedia @SkyUK

  • AmbitiousMusic AMBITIOUS 🎶🎸🔊 (@AmbitiousMusic) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Your service has been shit for years. Need a change

  • Wolvesblogger Nathan Lloyd (@Wolvesblogger) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Intermittent problem. It’s back on & then it’s gone again. Very frustrating.

  • wthirskgaskill W. J. Thirsk-Gaskill (@wthirskgaskill) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Please concentrate on getting up the noses of broadband customers, and stop running shit trains, and suing the NHS for money that was never yours in the first place.

  • andrewanthony83 Andrew Anthony (@andrewanthony83) reported from Codsall, England

    @SuperfastStaffs please let @virginmedia lay their cables in #Bilbrook and #Codsall we need proper #fibre broadband. We are being left behind with the copper solution that @WeAreOpenreach leave us with and it’s getting worse! @south_staffs @GavinWilliamson @StaffordshireCC

  • DickyDodd Dicky Dodd (@DickyDodd) reported from Trysull, England

    @virginmedia media retentions and I got cut off and no call back. Ambismal customer service.

  • GTAssociates GTAssociates (@GTAssociates) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia 8 conversations to cancel our service and cxl confirmed by virgin. Cancellation first made on 28 Feb. Just received a bill and you have billed for April and May. What a shambles you are! Get your act together now! I have paid final balance & no more is due!
