  • Neil_Churchard Neil Churchard (@Neil_Churchard) reported from Solihull, England

    Wow just had the worst customer service from @virginmedia can’t say I’ll be staying a loyal customer at this rate 😤

  • lorna_conway Doonie (@lorna_conway) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia It's not an issues according to the site. It's working on wired connections. I'll be looking for compensation after this. If the costomer tells you there's a problem then take their word they're the ones paying you, why would they spend money other than to get what they pay for.

  • Jod_69 Jo (@Jod_69) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia As per last message it says problem in area. It’s back working now (see time of initial mail). 4th time this week it’s been down for prolonged periods of time. Not good

  • TheRamblingElf Richard (@TheRamblingElf) reported from Birmingham, England

    @AksTailor @virginmedia When I had some issues like that I haggled a month or two of free Internet from Virgin until the issue was resolved. Convincing them to do that took an infuriating number of phone calls but it was a satisfactory outcome, I've stuck with them.

  • Jod_69 Jo (@Jod_69) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hi. Second time this week no internet. Monday was all day. Can’t get thru to you by phone. What is going on with my service?

  • Jod_69 Jo (@Jod_69) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Broadband down again today 4th time this week. Really will have to rethink providers

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

    @virginmedia Network security warnings, poor speed (even on direct cabled link to router), and we need a wifi booster which with the broadband, phone and tv package I believe is included. Still on hold after two hours! Wasted yesterday waiting for a response on so-called ‘live chat’!

  • lorna_conway Doonie (@lorna_conway) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia Friday I booked an engineer as the WiFi on our hub keeps dropping. At the same time I upgraded my package. This includes tech help. Since Friday I've had no WiFi. I tried website chat but got dropped I've tried calling but was waiting too long. I'm getting bored!

  • jadedurnallx jade💓 (@jadedurnallx) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia are absolutely useless. Have over 100 properties with Virgin Media Broadband, and you’d think they’d attempt to fix issues and keep our future custom. Safe to say we’re looking for another supplier if there are any recommendations...

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

    @virginmedia Don’t try and pass the buck! It’s NOT a windows issue, it ONLY occurs on this Virgin network!

  • beast_gbgolfer Colin Joyce (@beast_gbgolfer) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Doesn’t work says account question is wrong so can’t change password and can’t access account think it’s hacked 1 hr waiting on phone your service is poor

  • K45TRO EA (@K45TRO) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why is your broadband so awful?

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

    @virginmedia First thing I did, and I run them regularly. Only 53.46 Mbps download and just 9.99 upload on a supposedly 100Mbps service! On a wifi laptop right next to the router it’s just 23.43 and 10.08

  • omarqureshi Omar Qureshi (@omarqureshi) reported from Birmingham, England

    Yeah, an Internet outage during lockdown can do one. @virginmedia B24 area.

  • 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!

  • Jod_69 Jo (@Jod_69) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yep just says problem in my area. Not helpful and is getting to be a pain tbh

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

    @virginmedia Yet again my internet is down, just had half service for 2 months and it worked for 10 days now gone again... yet you still take full payment out my bank, I see this a theft...

  • PaulSimmons66 Paul Simmons (@PaulSimmons66) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Today we received outstanding service from Jack the engineer from virgin media. He was polite friendly and determined to rectify the fault which he did. A credit to Virgin media thanks Jack

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

    @virginmedia Still on bloody hold! Can somebody in the Virgin Media call centre please pick up the damn phones!!! What the Hell are vulnerable, elderly customers supposed to do?!

  • ianjsanderson Ian Sanderson (@ianjsanderson) reported

    @virginmedia To try and get it rectified and got passed through the department's only for them to put the phone down on me. Had to call back again only to be put on hold for 1.25 minutes with no one coming back to me. Is this not fraud!!!??? Quoting me 1 price then sending a bill
