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

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.

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.
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia TV completely down this morning ,it’s been intermittent since September nobody helps me just fobbed off. Who is the ombudsman over you I can complain to? I’m no longer prepared to keep paying for services I’m not getting.

-
Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, EnglandSeems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.
-
Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, EnglandCausing 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?
-
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
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England@virginmedia hi I’ve had an ongoing complaint since September, I’ve had an email to contact yourselves but the phone number is getting me nowhere , is there another way of contacting the complaints dept?
-

-
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.

Stewart Paske 🇪🇺🇬🇧🖖 (@Stewart_Paske) reported@virginmedia Broadband issues in CB4, Cambridge. Anyone else experiencing issues? #cambridge #VirginMedia
-
Deborah Bentham 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 (@BenthamDeborah) reported@JoshCF_ I’m with virgin media going up to £92 pm for phone & broadband when contract ends in September. I’ve been happy with the service but over £50 pm difference going with sky is just ridiculous.
-
Stuart Mills (@MooeyMills) reported@virginmedia you need to employ more staff it’s impossible to speak with a human being when support is needed and your online solutions are totally inadequate and result in unwanted enineers visits
-
Djacid (@djacid25) reportedSorry about no streams . No content . I have no Internet @virginmedia say it will not be back up until the 13th . Its been off since the 5th. No word . No update. Not even a message from virgin media. I dont feel like a customer at this point . Rather just a number. Do better
-
iPaulTweeting (@iPaulTweeting) reported@virginmedia your customer support is appalling. My bill has gone up from £127 to £350. The App it keeps telling me to use either says oops something has gone wrong or directs me to a bot that goes nowhere. Now I’m on the phone for over an hour with no indication as to whether they are going to answer
-
Karen’s Tweets (@LorryLocket) reported@virginmedia I can’t access my emails despite re-entering my credentials help please!
-
Graham Style (@grahamstyle) reportedI'm not surprised @O2 is the worst rated complaint company. 6th March open an account with Virgin Media. 22th went on holiday, O2 just decided without notice to close the account. Been back for over a month, calling O2 every single day, complaints and fraud, nothing. Any help?
-
Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reportedSo @virginmedia just ignore attempts to contact them on here, meaning a spam/fraud account replies in the comments to try and catch people out. In the absence of any actual help or comms from the official account, people will be caught out. And the website is broken so there's no other way to contact (phones are jam packed)
-
Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported@virginmedia What's the issue with the app and website log ins? It's not working, not showing an error message other than "server_error" in the URL, and I see no status update from you?
