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

    @CapnKink @virginmedia They don’t even respond when you complain. I haven’t got the patience to keep phoning to get a temporary fix. Just gotta decide which service to switch to and they’re gone.

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

    Made a complaint to @virginmedia 10 days ago via their online service with a 7 day anticipated response time and yet have heard nothing since the acknowledgement of my complaint. This basically sums up my experience over the past year of ineffective response to our issues.

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

    @virginmedia I don't think much will happen given virgin's track record but on the plus side you've given lots of material for my delegates on next Saturdays Customer Service module.

  • 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!

  • 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 .

  • 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!

  • WestonKerri Kerri (@WestonKerri) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia absolute joke !! worst customer service provided ! #whybother

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

    @virginmedia Just had a look at what you've sent, you lot are a real joke, you screw up and then push customer to do all the work and hope they give up, I surggest you find another job far as possible form customers,

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Media Services,. We have always passed security and never had this issue before!

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

    @virginmedia why can't I take advantage of the Full House Sports Bundle... So what if I'm a existing customer, you've got me by the ***** anyway with the broadband. May as well just cancel and go elsewhere

  • admcdermott Adam McDermott (@admcdermott) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia 6 week a ago we lost all service, finally got an appt for yesterday to have cable dug up and reconnected. Engineer rang twice to check contractors had done street work - no. Assured by CS it would be done, it wasn't. Now another 2 weeks! You just don't care!

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

    @virginmedia Broadband issues since May 2018. Multiple calls to customer service with no permanent fix. Last time I called I was asked the same questions repeatedly then cut off. Want a new hub that works and a bill review as it’s gone from £65 to £79 since Sept 2018!

  • jenkin99 jen (@jenkin99) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Ive called you customer service department to be hung up on temwicw, i have sent an email to yourselfs and via resolver had no response. I have a health and safety issue i want resolving

  • 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!! 🖕🏽

  • ikonic_exposure Daniel Sturley (@ikonic_exposure) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia What would really help is a separate sales number to call and to speak with an agent straight away with no ‘system’ to navigate and who understands my disability and can help me to sign up if I want to :~}

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

    @virginmedia one good thing is I can demonstate in my customer training sessions how not to treat customers, thank you for the material Virgin Braodband

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

    @virginmedia Tried the chat everyday for the past 5 days and it is not working. Due to recent changes with someone at household moving out I do not need the landline anymore,and wanted to discuss my options as I do not want to pay monthly for a service I am not using

  • 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.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Atyeo9 Steve Watts (@Atyeo9) reported

    @virginmedia What is the reasoning behind taking services down for planned maintenance, both during the working day (did the huge spike in people WFH due to covid pass you by?) AND unannounced. Apparently planned, but couldn't be bothered to notify your customers in advance.😡

  • BallymacT BallymacTGB (@BallymacT) reported

    @virginmedia Given I had no broadband I couldn't access your service page. You did text me automated links to FAQs however the buttons didn't work on the link. I accept that there will be technical issues at some point, what I don't accept is the call being cut off 3 times whilst I'm holding!

  • KyleKylemuz11 Kyle Murray (@KyleKylemuz11) reported

    @virginmedia hi my mum is having lots of trouble with her internet. It’s a very old router and she has no internet at all at the moment. She is unsure what to do? Can I please speak on her behalf and try and get her internet working again?

  • AdinaMay Jacqui Francis (@AdinaMay) reported

    @virginmedia no internet again have a new router etc. Engineer said if problem continues it's external & not need access inside. Left a number & I've called & left messages but no reply. Short term ideas? Apart from change provider but not possible with the days notice required.

  • CsiegeJ Michael Ceej (@CsiegeJ) reported

    @virginmedia It just gets worse. Spoke to someone yesterday who promised me it will happen today or Monday with an email being sent. Surprise suppose no email and on a waiting list should there be a cancellation. So a lie. I just want to cancel! #virginmedia

  • DadBodChef DadBodChef (@DadBodChef) reported

    @virginmedia Could you also please let me know how to make a formal complaint, send a link to a an actual form (not the complaints policy) or let me have an email address for this purpose. I was trying to avoid this but it’s been so bad now that maybe a complaint is the only way to resolve it

  • Sychowalker Sycho Walker (@Sychowalker) reported

    My Virgin Mobile won't let me make Phone Calls and Both my Mobile and Home Phone won't allow me to speak to @virginmedia to ask for help.

  • clairefreed9876 Claire freed (@clairefreed9876) reported

    @virginmedia So.. a representative from Virgin media called my partner back. My partner couldn't get through the security questions because my complaint is under my house mates account but my house mate cancelled his contract with you when he moved in and is too busy to contact you!!!@!!

  • MandK6980 M & K (@MandK6980) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely shocking service! Never had a phone call back! So had to spend another 40 mins listening to your hold music! Have now been told that we need ANOTHER visit from a technician but that won't be until next Wednesday

  • GeorgeR51692660 George Robertson (@GeorgeR51692660) reported

    @virginmedia your customer support line is not working. I dial the number and it doesn’t even ring, I have tried several times double checking the number is correct, my phone otherwise works as normal. My internet router is not working and I would like some help.
