    @virginmedia Does anyone at Virginmedia ever actually answer phones? Calling from my parent’s number, supposed to be listed as vulnerable/priority. No answer for over 40 minutes! The hold music is torture, and zero indication of how long the queue is! Your customer service sucks!

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

    @virginmedia It's not faulty. It's not a wifi or broadband issue. You don't have enough backhaul capacity.

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

    @virginmedia After more than FOUR HOURS on the phone I eventually got someone competent from billing to confirm I am eligible for one free booster and someone else to talk me through fixing the security issue. You seriously need to prioritise vulnerable customers!

  • Nijran1973
    Sundeep Nijran (@Nijran1973) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia tried to cancel this service for 9 months , changing me for something that’s not connected and now want more more to disconnect. Worst broadband provider!!!

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

    @virginmedia Internet down again (had engineer here Monday). Cut off after a 62 minute wait! Tried the app won't let me log in as my password is wrong and it hasn't sent me any new password link (2 hours ago).

  • Markycot
    Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia for the second day out of the last 60 hours we have no Internet or TV in the B92 area!! You do know the rules are still to work from home if you can don’t you? Atrocious service and reliability!!

  • CosmicHustler
    Alien-**** (@CosmicHustler) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia Any chance of some kind gesture of goodwill to a very long-term customer (Telewest days) and long-term isolator due to suppressed immune system, struggling without a working & very necessary distraction...

  • SteveDeery
    Steve Deery (@SteveDeery) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia That hasn't helped. I just want to talk to somebody. No known service problems in my area

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

    The 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

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

    @vmbusiness 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.

  • 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.

  • bjwgorman
    Ben Gorman (@bjwgorman) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Always but it makes no difference. There have been issues where I live since the start of lockdown. I have made a complaint but it’s gone no where.

  • SharonNaokes
    sharon Elizabeth Noa (@SharonNaokes) reported from Wythall, England

    @virginmedia why send me letters with no contact details on for me to get back to you, put my bill up, yet fail to provide the service I’m paying for! I’ve been trying for 3 weeks to contact you to talk about this! Shall I cancel my contract..yes as soon as I can get through 😤

  • nippa77
    Neil Simpson (@nippa77) reported from Headless Cross, England

    @Mtr95 @virginmedia I’ve had the same…so frustrating…just total lack of service regularly…if I had a choice of fibre providers here I’d ditch this shambles in a heartbeat

  • simkins_tracey
    Tracey Simkins (@simkins_tracey) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia I am a new customer who was supposed to be installed yesterday, only to be told that they couldn’t do the job. I am now without any TV and broadband unable to work due to this.I am left without any contact & waiting for another he for c/services to answer!! 😡 Help!

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

    @virginmedia how the hell do I get an email from your company trying to reset a password on the app? All i want (for the last year) is working wifi engineer out last monday said i need a booster no help on phone or app or this absolutely shocking!

  • stumccullagh

    💙 Helen Abdullah 💙 (@HelenAbdullah08) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia We tried the messaging service thank you that didn’t help either. To be honest we are dreading trying to contact you again in the new year to get this sorted another 2 hours on the phone! I would have thought it your responsibility to sort this out but apparently not!

    @barbs_paul @EE Up there with @virginmedia, horrendous service for existing customers!

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

    @virginmedia I don’t think so I’m still getting distorted TV on a few channels it’s frustrating as my complaint never gets recified I’ve spent hours on end trying to get it sorted

    @virginmedia Can you tell me what is wrong with your tv service? I have a broken image as though there’s a thunder storm. I have seen on internet that others are experiencing the same thing in the Leeds area.
