  • 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

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

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

  • Mr_PaintPots David Wright (@Mr_PaintPots) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia As you can imagine, this has been discussed with many of your team, at length, with no resolution. The response is shambolic. Virgin is seemingly incapable of providing any service whatsoever in our case. Disappointing doesn't cover it, shockingly inept is a start.

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

    @virginmedia I’ll try texting. I only have 1 bar of signal

  • 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

  • _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

  • gmb_sarahjames Sarah James (@gmb_sarahjames) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia major loss of service 2 days now on broadband and tv, can anyone explain why please. Happy to send details via DM

  • 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

  • 2108blondie Sasha Swapp (@2108blondie) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Used to work for the company know all about rebooting after a fix. Just done *** and TiVo box again whilst still waiting for someone to answer the phone and it still doesn’t work. Absolutely shocking

  • 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

  • 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 🙄

  • 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.

  • M5Mahmud Nas Mahmud (@M5Mahmud) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyUK Just like to say compared to @virginmedia and @bt_uk your customer service is absolutely SHITE!

  • DixeyBaker Sharon Baker (@DixeyBaker) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Broken again this morning after being ok eventually yesterday - managed to get through on the phones as it's still early - they are now checking and its been escalated and an engineer booked for Monday - progress of sorts!

  • 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 !!

  • 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.

    @virginmedia I understand all of that. I had BT before and comparing virgin performance against that ref.On a 54MBps plan, I never had issues wrt speed with BT.Same number of devices. Now a 100Mbps fibre plan from virgin and I get 6Mbps and not to mention many blind spots. Is this acceptable?

    @virginmedia Hi , am waiting for a chat on the Virgin media chat service

  • domster Dom Barnes (@domster) reported

    @stef @virginmedia @CuckooInternet Ah not available in my area. VM was all fine until June. Since then it’s been regular issues. At first it was totally dead internet for minute or hours. Now it’s these packet loss blips that happen.

  • Northamptonbag1 Northamptonbaggie (@Northamptonbag1) reported

    @ChoudhuryJie @virginmedia I am in the same position they sent me a letter telling me to text them or they would close the complaint in 28 days. Spent 8.5 hours texting yesterday. Have decided to go to the regulator CISAS costs you nothing but costs vm every time and they lose 90% of cases
