    @virginmedia tremendous service had problems with my tv service for 3 weeks now which you still haven’t sorted and now you put my bill up and to try and sort it all out I’ve now been on hold for an hour shocking

  • tonymartin82211 tonymartin (@tonymartin82211) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia up to their scams again and when you get through all the button pressing on the phone and are past from one to another then when you start asking questions they hang up .

  • TeeKhan84 Tariq Khan (@TeeKhan84) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia problems with my phone line in B9 Birmingham.

  • Kal_Ajimal Kal Ajimal (@Kal_Ajimal) reported from Solihull, England

    How hard is it to report a problem to my landline telephone @virginmedia totally ridiculous been on hold 30 minutes

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

    @Poxo01 We have been battling rising costs and poor service with @virginmedia for years. Have argued down the contract repeatedly due to issues. Just got the internet and home control stable again and then get another price increase letter. Fed up with them.

  • acroline Caroline Durbin (@acroline) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia utterly appalling customer service once again. 15 minutes on hold to cancel a contract miss-sold to me.

  • scgough §↯mØn (@scgough) reported from Birmingham, England

    Anyone else experiencing DNS issues for certain sites. UK based. I’m getting unresolved errors via virgin media net but ok via mobile data. #dns #networking

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

    @MrPaulTreadwell @virginmedia @Ofcom I’ve just spoken to a very rude lady in retentions. Have been lied to, apparently I was on the internet all day yesterday, I was in the office.

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

    @virginmedia Did you notice the "again". On average it's down 2 days a month.

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

    @stephanemassey @VirginMediaCorp You should leave Virgin Media, I can pretty much guarantee the service won’t improve and you’ll be left with no internet on a regular basis.

  • gjw1603 Gary Webber (@gjw1603) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Price rises, overseas call centers, the time spent on the phone listening to the nausiating voice. Suggest you look at social media and learn about your shocking reputation and customer service. Im out !!

  • markshawnwo mark shaw (@markshawnwo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia internet down in Birmingham checked with reported issues and not known anything else reported it

  • acroline Caroline Durbin (@acroline) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nonsense. If you valued me as a customer I would not have gone through 3 months of unanswered calls and when I did speak to staff- accusations of lying. Check your records before cut and pasting bland replies.

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

    @virginmedia Tried the text service. No response. So in the unlikely event of an engineer visit later, at least I tried.

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

    @_gl_lxuise @SkyUK @virginmedia Same problem here. They keep saying they have fixed the issue when they clearly haven’t. They are good at putting prices up but not at fixing issues. I’m going back to Sky.

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

    @ChrisScottBtn I’m fed up of this process year on year with an ongoing problematic service. Three complaints, two left unanswered. And then the onus is on you to chase! I cannot be bothered with them anymore. That’s the level customer service I’ve come to expect from @virginmedia now.

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

    @BankerJase @virginmedia I’ve yet to deal with a Virgin Media team that provide decent customer service. Which is why I’ve given up on TV/Telephone. Broadband will only last if they maintain a service.

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

    @virginmedia Your website now shows: Network issues might be affecting TV and broadband services at the moment. Our engineer is working to fix the problem. Broadband is working again...

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

    @virginmedia broadband down again. Obviously a network fault, but system has booked an engineer visit. Given that my contract is up for renewal and the cost has nearly doubled, I think I am in the market for a new provider.

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

    @MrCMorley @virginmedia If it’s anything like the ongoing outage in Four Oaks they won’t bother to contact you. I checked they had my correct details and I’ve had no updates. I’ve now cancelled my contract.

    @virginmedia And don’t give me any pandemic crap

  • TweetsMoar Moar Tweets (@TweetsMoar) reported

    @virginmedia I have many times. They told me that a technitian would be coming that day and they never did. Every day there is a service appoint and nobody calls or shows up and it is moved to the next day.

  • marie250567 Marie 🍀 (@marie250567) reported

    @virginmedia It clearly hadn't or I wouldn't have been annoyed. Anyway, I've been told that a new one will be with me today or tomorrow....hopefully that solves the issue. Apologies to you all twitter guys for being so grumpy earlier and thanks for your patience.

  • AndyWils30 Andy Wilson (@AndyWils30) reported

    @virginmedia my volume has just stopped working whilst watching the TV. I can do everything on the remote apart from mute and using the volume up and down, nothing happens when I'm pressing the button?

  • geegee01925 Grant (@geegee01925) reported

    Got to hand it to @virginmedia the absolutely disgusting service and customer service somehow manages to continually surprise me by sinking even lower if u are thinking about using this company DONT !!!

  • kiwitonyp Anthony parry (@kiwitonyp) reported

    @virginmedia worst customer service ever , offered package to stay then half my channels removed , told all calls are recorded but can’t listen to the call that they need to listen too absolute shambles of a company

  • lozulus Loz 🇬🇧 🇮🇪 🇪🇺 🍺 (@lozulus) reported

    @fesshole Ooh classy! I think this one is true. At Telewest Broadband (now Virgin Media) we had a “phantom shitter” for years in Internet tech support that would strike at random.

  • gillybrody Gillian Broderick (@gillybrody) reported

    @Misherwood78 @virginmedia We have just swapped to Virgin… but didn’t have to wait this long… BUT we have a problem in that our land line number has failed to work since… and can we contact them to sort it…NO?! #virginmedia customer services are 🙏0/10.
