  • Kimbohud 🇬🇧Kimbo🇬🇧 (@Kimbohud) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I have received a further two or three calls, following the request to remove one of the V boxes to save me some money, offering me different packages as a ‘loyal’ customer which would be costing me more! #youcouldntmakeitup 🙄

  • tfd1977 trev1874 (@tfd1977) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia on hold listening to crap music for hour then disconnected on hold again for 30 mins now anyone working in faults tonight

  • philwowski Philky (@philwowski) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia been on hold to cs for 20+ minutes. No tv service. Intermittent service for the last 4/5 weeks. I just want to watch tv. I pay £100s /yr and yet not getting the service expected. I think I will have to contact Sky for a comparison sad after 15 years

  • malcolmwhittak2 Malcolm Whittaker (@malcolmwhittak2) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM We are currently moving house and trying to cancel our account unfortunately the call agents think it's funny to keep a client on the phone for 3 hours even more so they are happy to direct us to a department that is closed which terminates a call.

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

    @virginmedia I’m getting an access denied error message. A quick google suggests this is a common issue.

  • A_J_92 Ash❗️ (@A_J_92) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia do you have an email address I can email on to cancel please I've tried phoning and its a joke!

  • kittykatrollins Helen Rollins (@kittykatrollins) reported from Birmingham, England

    Poor customer service from @virginmedia this morning. Phoned to discuss fraudulent callers to my landline. First advise was to call #TPS, I carefully explained that I was already registered with them. He then said, let me give you a number. I diligently wrote it down. Who’s that

  • A_J_92 Ash❗️ (@A_J_92) reported from Birmingham, England

    So I left @virginmedia over 18 months ago as they tried to rip off a loyal customer and had no customer service experience or knowledge at all. I thought I'd give them another chance just by grabbing a sim only deal as the offer was attracting. say no more, Sim cancelled!

  • DixeyBaker Sharon Baker (@DixeyBaker) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for replying! The green light keeps flashing which its never done - we had an outage in B14 yesterday- my internet is working and we have rebooted but its still flashing

  • PRBloke Clive Reeves (@PRBloke) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Lionbites @virginmedia @SkyUK You’re very picky. We had no broadband service from @virginmedia yesterday morning and no phone yesterday evening. 20 minutes to answer a phone call. I think they’re all challenged for customer service

  • Wrightgal80 Kate Wright ◣ ◢ (@Wrightgal80) reported from Birmingham, England

    @BloxwichWolf @virginmedia They are beyond crap!

  • licklemouse Stuart Cockerill (@licklemouse) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia So what happens now or am I being stupid or have you just left me in limbo like the phone call !!!

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

    @BFILeigh @virginmedia @SkyUK I don’t know you but Virgin Media as a company are so bad they look Sky look amazing. If you can cancel and find an alternative I’d do it.

  • DixeyBaker Sharon Baker (@DixeyBaker) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia trying to get some help with my router and I'm on hold for 20 mins then get cut off - no chat facility available and no email help - rather frustrating !

  • nigeyp Nigel P Harris (@nigeyp) reported from Birmingham, England

    Sick of the shit customer service in the uk. 3 calls to @virginmedia trying to get them to repay a credit & after being put on hold for 10mins they hang up each time. #Useless #virginmedia

  • licklemouse Stuart Cockerill (@licklemouse) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’ve just wasted a whole hour sat on the phone with someone who had less than an a basic understanding of English what a waste of time only to be sent a new TiVo box who knows of this will work as she spent more time speaking to her work mates awful experience 😡

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

    @virginmedia B744LG my neighbour is also having issues. Internet keeps dropping out so there’s clearly some sort of intermittent fault. I’ve wasted 45 mins on the phone trying to report it.

  • malcolmwhittak2 Malcolm Whittaker (@malcolmwhittak2) reported from Birmingham, England

    @jwhitt1970 @virginmedia @TomMockridgeVM Hi Joe Virgin Media and Mr Mockridge think about money in the bank, Customer service isn't on the agenda, it feels like authorised theft as all the time and effort on the phone is time lost with no evidence relating to performance. #CustomerService

  • shannelchauhan Shannel - mummy of twins (@shannelchauhan) reported from Dorridge, England

    @virginmedia had issues for years......so many calls logged. Wifi doesnt cover whole house and is intermittent all day. Its frustrating. Just logging another call now. Used so much mobile data due to these issues. Never had an issue in this house until virgin.

  • ainsworth_neil Neil M Ainsworth (@ainsworth_neil) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia No my wife works from home 2 days a week. She constantly gets logged out. No help from customer service. I have the agents ref number and the rough time of the call. Very disappointed

    Not happy with my Kitchen signal @virginmedia !!!!!

  • tiberti_g gtTest123456789 (@tiberti_g) reported

    @virginmedia getting absolutely unreliable connection while doing audio/videoconferences with MS Teams and the likes. Customer service failing absolutely useless. People are heavily disrupted by all these issues!

  • emmahick83 emma hickey (@emmahick83) reported

    @virginmedia This is terrible service. I’ve had nothing but problems with the internet since I changed to virgin. I’ve tried repeatedly to contact yourselves via phone where I just get automated answers then get so far to be told goodbye. I try to online chat.

  • Charney123 Calum Charnock (@Charney123) reported

    @JAMESWOOD1988 @jcooke89 @virginmedia Awful I was on for total of 3 hours on Wednesday. Cut off two time. Shocking

  • Anxiety_Sugarr Anxiety_Sugar ⋆ (@Anxiety_Sugarr) reported

    @virginmedia has the wifi gone down in the Hampshire area again? Or is it just our rota?

  • DeguaraJon Jon Deguara (@DeguaraJon) reported

    @virginmedia Only Wireless compatible. The WiFi keeps disconnecting. I am getting between 200ms-300ms of ping when it works. This is awful

  • bigmcben Keith J Bell (@bigmcben) reported

    @virginmedia 40 minute call to tech help and no further forward. Carrying out pointless tests and reboots that have no bearing on the issue. It’s a sad state when you know more than the staff manning the helpdesk. No wonder #VirginMedia is always at the bottom of customer surveys

  • emmahick83 emma hickey (@emmahick83) reported

    @virginmedia Yet virgin can’t seem to help with the problem despite regular contact and following the guidance given.

  • LMulford4 L Mulford (@LMulford4) reported

    Virgin media - appalling service!!! Being a loyal customer counts for nothing!
