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

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

  • O5BORNE Justin Osborne (@O5BORNE) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Just had a text message from your team to say the Broadband issue is now fixed - it isn’t ! 😡

    @virginmedia We were offered this and two boxes etc for £89...NINE DAYS AGO and then no one wanted to speak to us!!! Terrible service to a loyal Virgin customer of 8 years...robbery😠

  • Dav3yAvFc Mr C 🦁 (@Dav3yAvFc) reported from Dudley, England

    Dont you love. Being on hold to @virginmedia .. for 27 minutes to finally get thru. To then be told your bill has doubled because your contract expired. Then to have the phone put down on you 😂😂😂😂😂

  • O5BORNE Justin Osborne (@O5BORNE) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia No difference at all when hub rebooted, Broadband still off and no way of getting through to your teams either by phone or via website to report ‘total lack of connection ‘ ! REALLY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. 😡

  • bsamikey Mike Donovan (@bsamikey) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia for the second time this evening your broadband has dropped out, yet according to the app there is no issue in my area. This is happening far too frequently. You have previously provided me with insufficient means of making a formal complaint. I'd like it now please

  • 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!

  • MattyladKRO Matt Smith (@MattyladKRO) reported from Birmingham, England

    @RacingTV Unless you’re a @virginmedia customer where you cannot have any discounts and have to still watch @SkySportsRacing in neandatholic pics with no HD despite “promises” for 18 months it gonna abe available “ soon”

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

    @_mark13 @virginmedia Their customer service is virtually non existent! We are just money to them.

  • mo4g_777 mo4g (@mo4g_777) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia once again your stupid phone line has stopped - do you not have water proof cabinets or some thing always a prob in bad weathe

  • Cal1964 Calum McGill (@Cal1964) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Okay, we'll try again tomorrow. I'm sure you're aware I've lodged a complaint already as very unhappy with the level of service from your agents. I needed this sorting over a week ago and now Virgin have taken another £129 for another month🙄

  • mistdied17 h (@mistdied17) reported

    According to Twitter and down detector, Virgin Media is suffering an outrage in Manchester & surrounding areas –not according to the Virgin website though. It's understandable that outrages happen, some communication ought to be expected at the very least. @virginmedia

  • iamstphn Stephen (@iamstphn) reported

    I’m just reading all the tweets about people bitching about @virginmedia being down and then I think to myself. These dumb ***** have never read their contracts and can’t comprehend that a company can’t guarantee 100% uptime EVER. #PleaseDontLetThemReproduce

  • RobGreenhalgh75 🙈🙉🙊 (@RobGreenhalgh75) reported

    @YourRunnerz @virginmedia I got the same thing. It’s like they don’t realise they have a problem yet. Maybe their own internet connection went down too.
