-
Pretentious Opinions (@OpiniatedOne1) reported from Walsall Wood, England@virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis
-
SorachiTim (@PolymathTim) reported from West Bromwich, EnglandZero Internet connectivity from @virginmedia now for pushing 12 hours. Resetting and/or powering down the hub does nothing, the diagnostic and fault tools just go round and around in an ever more boring circle. #LightningSpeedFarce
-
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!?! 🤬
-
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
-
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?
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, EnglandThe problem in my area B37 has been happening for over a week can’t watch any TV now @virginmedia over £100 a month!! Plus I’ve been waiting 2 years for an internet booster
-
Howard Martin 💚 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England@virginmedia Can you please explain why, when I renewed my package in March you reduced my last invoiced bill to reflect the change & took by DD what you said you would! Now you say you will suspend my service because I underpaid? You took what you wanted!
-
Jot Shoker (@jot_shoker) reported from West Bromwich, EnglandI purchased @virginmedia high speed wifi but they are not giving a proper service We are totally frustrated
-
Casey Rain (aka S-Endz) (@CaseyRain) reported from Birmingham, EnglandHad an @virginmedia broadband outage on Sunday for 2 hours. Since then, connection so spotty that I'm getting 10 seconds of completely dropped packets followed by 20 seconds of slow-as-molasses ping times once every 10 minutes.
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, EnglandFed up of these “intermittent” problems with my @virginmedia broadband.
-
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!!!
-
Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Swindon, England@virginmedia @ste1984r But YOU say 'intermittent' loss when it isn't. It's FULL loss of service. And to only compensate after 2 days is crazy.
-
Phil Queenan (@philq001) reported from Birmingham, England@Ian66232919 @virginmedia @02 have been awful and the reception is non existent, especially any where near Villa Park. May as well not take my phone out.
-
Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, EnglandHey, ‘RP,’ again, @virginmedia is down. The lack of resilience is shocking and embarrassing for a major broadband provider. #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia
-
Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England@Ofcom can I complain about @virginmedia to yourselves? Had no TV service for nearly a month with no help.

GeekyHairyBestia (@GeekyHairy) reported@Simon_Whale @virginmedia Your lucky you got dial up speeds bro. I’m lucky if I get 3-6mb on the GB package and that’s when I have a connection. But yeah customer service has got worse and worse. To point you can not contract or make a claim. Good luck dealing with them,m. Lost my job because of them 🤬

-
Jamaal (@Jamaal162) reported@jonoread @ajzxne They knew owned and run by the same company.. virgin media 02… literally just a subsidiary branded to capture a different market ie the ones who are smart enough to not pay 3 to 4x the amount for the same service
-
Elodie Genest (@ElodieGenest) reported@O2 I am currently in the USA and received a message about roaming charges ending on the 20th. I am a Virgin Media Volt customer and should have O2 Travel Inclusive Zone. Can you please confirm my account is set up correctly so I don't get charged tomorrow?"
-
THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported@sephiroth17181 @virginmedia Current ISP only supplies Eero routers & they are terrible but have to keep one on hand in case external connection drops to optical box as they won’t even raise an issue unless their router connected (configured it so don’t have to change anything on the network if have to)
-
Shifty (@Shifty_) reported@DeviateDefiant @MoneySupermkt Welcome to Virgin Media, in this house was the same been with them since NTL days and still had better deals for new customers over there loyal paying customers so we switched to Sky. i have to say from my experience had 0 issues.

THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported@sephiroth17181 @virginmedia That’s the problem I have. WAN port on the Asus router I have is only 1GbE but the LAN ports are 2.5GbE (& can’t switch WAN port to one of the LAN ports for some reason).
