    @virginmedia once again on demand not working. How are you supposed to watch a sky movies film when it stops every 10 seconds to spin a wheel for 10 seconds. Service checker says its fine and the box has been rebooted.

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia why are you not supporting key workers through these challenging times? Both my wife & I are key workers supporting the NHS & the food industry from home yet you fail to fix our Broadband issues for 3 wks. We can’t work. You just fob us off @piersmorgan @BorisJohnson

  • notdodgy
    Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Every morning around 9:30 this week, our business broadband has stopped working. Lights look normal and we need to power cycle to get service back. What's going on? Postcode B90 3BD Do you have a back up option available as this affects card payments.

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

    @virginmedia Is there an email address I can use instead? I can just tell them the address and send the photos and explain the problem. They turn up whenever and fix it (its on the street, so no one needs to be home) I’ve taped up the lower parts, but up higher it is hanging over a shop sign.

  • stumccullagh
    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.

  • stumccullagh
    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?

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    Only 3 months until i can get rid of @virginmedia awful internet even worse customer service!

  • Ade1701
    Ade1701 (@Ade1701) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia After a couple more wasted hours and speaking to two more useless, rude and incompetent call centre operatives your customer retention team actually listened. Might help if ALL your call centres were UK based and had some compassion.

  • isunhita
    Sunhita Ing (@isunhita) reported from Stratford-upon-Avon, England

    @virginmedia really appalled with our experience as a new customer (15years with previous supplier). Mix ups with installation. Overcharged. Waiting in for installers not turning up. Closing of a complaint that was escalated. Chasing. No resolution. Want to leave already!

  • roachie1969
    Jeff Roach (@roachie1969) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia what are the customer service hours at the moment?

  • stumccullagh
    Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    Not only did I have to go out to watch the football because Sky Sports doesn’t work BBC has gone down so can’t even watch MOTD thanks @virginmedia

  • ninsull
    Nickins (@ninsull) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia how can you spend nearly an hour on two phones to report a problem with no one picking up. Yet ask me if il refer you. @next stop I’m cancelling my contract.

  • notdodgy
    Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia You only pay out for a total loss of service. So it can be unusable but still limping along and you won't pay out. Personally I am hoping for another provider to get around to rolling out fibre in my area.

    @stephenm68 @virginmedia That is awful. Virgin media have really done down hill in looking after their customers. All they care about is customer acquisition

    Scottish_VAR (@Scottish_VAR) reported

    @heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia I have moved to smarty mobile hub. I pay 20 a month for unlimited data, its a rolling month contract and uses three signal. Its great you can take it away with you to hotels or away on holiday.

  • CalJamesPhoto

    @virginmedia please, for the love of god, give me a number here I can speak to a person.. I don’t have my 9 digit account number with me I need tech support, my landline is knackered. Your VA sucks It’s 2026 fgs, getting help should be easier than ever

  • Dmhches
    Dmh (@Dmhches) reported

    @virginmedia the fact that the red button isn’t working for sky sports on your service means you’re not providing the serving I am paying for. Please confirm I am able to exit my contract with no penalties due to this

    Pierce Travers (@piercetravers26) reported

    @celticbars Virgin media 2 in Ireland are showing the game next Tuesday if any1 has a vpn it’ll get round the issue and be free to watch on the virgin media player website

  • johngunn2
    johngunn (@johngunn2) reported

    @virginmedia @CliveR39 The last time I checked a couple of days ago it gave an estimated fix of 28th August. Which considering it’s been at least a week since it went down is a considerable length of time to not receive the service we’re paying for.

  • gmkfyi
    Glenn Matthew (@gmkfyi) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 I can only assume the reason I’m getting an IDF-12B error is because I’m now using a Sky connection rather than a Virgin one. Same computer, no VPN… Trying to get into my O2 account btw… which support line do I contact?
