  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes it does. Apparently there is a known issue in the area and it won’t be fixed until 12 tonight. This is not good enough

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

    @virginmedia The link you provide is entirely not the problem. We’ve had the same issue for 2 years. It doesn’t stop being a problem. And every time we contact someone about it, we get the same advice because there’s no continuation. Please read the message chain if you’re going to reply.

  • liam_S126 liam⚽️ (@liam_S126) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia your v6 box is actually awful

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

    @virginmedia No. It’s usually just one of the connected devices we lose at a time. Most often speakers but sometimes security cameras, sometimes hue bulbs. Never everything at once.

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

    If my internet goes down again in the next hour @virginmedia I'm voting Labour!!!!!!

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes tried that and just called ur CS centre. Once again the person who took the call couldn’t care less. This is the 2nd time this month it’s gone down without any explanation or compensation

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

    @virginmedia There is no weak signal. I’ve checked all around the house repeatedly. There are no faults in the area. I have checked repeatedly. Customer services have been unhelpful on multiple calls. Had to fight to get an upgraded hub!

  • Smartlyte Smartlyte (@Smartlyte) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia no internet, no support, what a disgrace

  • Deblord1 Deb Lord (@Deblord1) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia I posted the complaint to the address given on the website. It’s not my account and I have few details to enable me to register online.

  • dianej1980 di (@dianej1980) reported from Birmingham, England

    Senior manager at @virginmedia has no customer skills what so ever telling me his going to terminate my contract because of an issue with my bank card that they have since taken payment from month after month same issue defo will not reccomend to anyone

  • BlytheMatters Ken Hawkins (@BlytheMatters) reported from Solihull, England

    Patience with @virginmedia getting tested again. And of course, when broadband is down my data is being charged

  • pasty_pete Peter Brocklehurst (@pasty_pete) reported from Solihull, England

  • dgiacamand Daniel Giacaman (@dgiacamand) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia My broadband it's not working. Yesterday around 1am stoped working.

  • thephdrunner Emma Neachell (@thephdrunner) reported from Birmingham, England

    When you’re trying to work from home and your @virginmedia broadband just ‘dies’ without any warning. Please don’t let this be the start of months of issues again 🙁

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia having problems again with the internet. Apparently your app says it’s fine. It’s not. Sort it out.

  • cra1gs Craig (@cra1gs) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s not a good enough response. You’re providing a sub bar service and yet I’m still paying my bill in full. I expect a discount until the matter is resolved.

  • gezjb gez (@gezjb) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia you couldn’t get your customer service any worse if you tried ! Shocking

  • Bexybexxo Bex (@Bexybexxo) reported from Dorridge, England

    Seems to be issues with Virgin Media at my parents #mehhh

  • JoDtw Jo Darby (@JoDtw) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia There isn't a fault. It's never been particularly good.

  • MaZi_BoO Marie Smith (@MaZi_BoO) reported

    @virginmedia @NiiNiiFC @Flav_Bateman Could someone please contact me? I'm a new customer and already, down to your lack of customer service, I'm thinking of canceling. 2 phone calls, on hold for over an hour before I gave up. I want my broadband working.

  • Nefarious222 Nefarious67 (@Nefarious222) reported

    @virginmedia you are PRICELESS! You call to see if you can offer me a better deal 24 hours after telling me only new customers get the good deals and happily closing my account. Go back to Customer Experience school and try not flunk the exam this time!! Im now with @SkyUK

  • leesimp3891 lee simpsonLUFC (@leesimp3891) reported

    @virginmedia and now since my existing contract has run out i no longer get the discounts so have to pay 4 months at £25 extra per month for four months and then was lied to when i queried it with one of your customer service employees and to top it off was then basically called a liar

  • ashwinsdom Ashwin DeSouza (@ashwinsdom) reported

    @virginmedia No know issues in my area. Also, yes, I have the hub 3. Which is what I told the CS rep. But apparently you'll don't guarantee any speeds over WiFi. This is unacceptable in today's day day and age, especially when we are WFH most of the time.

  • RatcatcherMike Mike Redman🌍 (@RatcatcherMike) reported

    @virginmedia there’s a local fault with your broadband services but this means your telephone system doesn’t give the option of providing details of a different fault I have with my on-line account set-up process, only updates on the broadband issue - worst customer service ever!

  • JayJaySZN JayJaySZN (@JayJaySZN) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @virginmedia The thing that confuses me is like now it is working fine, but I don’t have the gaurentee or reassurance that it will stay up so I put of completing big tsk at work. Then in the evening it totally dies. I am on hold as we speak. Hold music isn’t to bad to be fair.

  • JayJaySZN JayJaySZN (@JayJaySZN) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @virginmedia That ther was an issue in our area & a technician was being sent out last Wednesday.

  • dako326 Adam Dakin (Dako) (@dako326) reported

    Good morning @virginmedia How much notice do I have to give to cancel my TV package ? #hadenough

  • 0161dixonboy Stuart Dixon™ (@0161dixonboy) reported

    Recently joined @virginmedia broadband, nothing but trouble since. I cant get a wifi signal if I go more than 6ft away from the router. Been like this for weeks now, our neighbours are the same. Please can anyone advise as both me and my wife work from home and its affecting that

  • BlueRoseCode Blue Rose Code (@BlueRoseCode) reported

    @raphael_samad @virginmedia Lucky you, after three hours of being on hold last night I had to hang up for a meeting. When I called back the service centre was closed. No response to my IMS on their site either. No broadband. Dreadful.
