  • Realtimeedu Lynne Taylerson (@Realtimeedu) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I am waiting, for 15 hours so far. Am thinking of ringing the upgrade or new phone line as I'm sure I'll be dealt with straight away then. Ofcom will be able to advise me I'm sure with help of @MoneySavingExp

  • RuthOlive1968 Roggy (@RuthOlive1968) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Mine down today and it's a crucial time for my children's uni work with dead lines . Not a happy customer.

  • paulasenior44 Paula Senior (@paulasenior44) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Please can you call me. I am ready to cancel if this is not resolved today. Your service does not meet even the minimum standard required.

  • LovesBunnys 🐰 Louise Owen 🐇 (@LovesBunnys) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia The complaint should not be closed down as ihe said that a team member would get back to me with a resolution to the complaint and a gesture to me, and then if i was happy with the outcome the complaint would then be closed.

  • LovesBunnys 🐰 Louise Owen 🐇 (@LovesBunnys) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia michael at support promised to call me back after 2 days and still not had a call back

  • paulasenior44 Paula Senior (@paulasenior44) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia And to add to that 7 calls to your customer service and we going round in circles. Appalling customer service

  • paulasenior44 Paula Senior (@paulasenior44) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had 2 issues in last 2 weeks in Europe and away again tomorrow. You tell me all working yet it doesn’t. We reset everything and you had to escalate issue. Within 24 hours it started to work in Greece. No service in guernsey which means it’s not going to work tomrorow Spain

  • TheWebEngr Phillip | The Web Engineer 👨🏻‍💻 🌋 (@TheWebEngr) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia my wife is on the 4th phone call to you guys and is in tears beacuse she is stressed out by one of your operators who she cannot understand and has made her incredibly upset. My wife has major health issues and you are not helping at all.

  • baggies_i Adam (@baggies_i) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It's not some 😂🙈 it's everyone mate noticed my Google pixel just went to H+ from 4G so appears you've switched everyone to 3G while fixing the issue. #virginmobile

  • paulasenior44 Paula Senior (@paulasenior44) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I am away in Europe again from tomorrow and need a service that works. I have been on hold for 30mins several calls and your assistant cut me off despite a promise at the start of the call that they will ring straight back should the call end. I’m still waiting 2.5hr later!!

  • djchrisr Chris Roberts (@djchrisr) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I called the mobile team at the start of the year to put a £5 cap on my mobile contract which my daughter uses but have now received a bill for £29 and discovered the cap was never put on. CS on the phone insisted I've never called about this but I know for a fact I did....

  • Realtimeedu Lynne Taylerson (@Realtimeedu) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Call charges are not as bad as the wasted hour on the phone and another long wait ongoing now for the text help service to respond. Seems @MoneySavingExp forums are correct about difficulty leaving. All I need is a PAC texted or emailed to me and I'll be on my way.

  • mo4g_777 mo4g (@mo4g_777) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia maybe if virgin didn’t spend shedloads of money on crap adverts and looked after your customers better it would mean something

  • ChapmanGaynor Gaynor Chapman (@ChapmanGaynor) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia how long is this network going to be down. I can’t make calls on my mobile and I have no internet connection and haven’t had any since about 1pm , not happy

  • LovesBunnys 🐰 Louise Owen 🐇 (@LovesBunnys) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi Michael from your team telephoned me on wednesday regarding the complaint i made about the way i was treated by your collections agent after speakibg to michael he said that i would receive a call within 24 to 48 hours from either himself or one of your team with a resolution.

  • djchrisr Chris Roberts (@djchrisr) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia not long after that because I immediately received a high bill but was told it takes 30 days to set up, so I accepted that. I've messaged & emailed about all this before & gave up because of poor or non-response. It's frustrating. I'm very busy and don't have time to keep chasing

  • paulasenior44 Paula Senior (@paulasenior44) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ClaireBoyles @virginmedia I’m having a nightmare with customer service. No one listens or takes accountability!

  • ADaveWard David Ward (@ADaveWard) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia My home WIFI is always quicker than when on mobile data. My wife’s @VodafoneUK network always receives first and quicker than your network.

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia HD is almost as good, but sport in SD is just horrible to watch

  • TheWebEngr Phillip | The Web Engineer 👨🏻‍💻 🌋 (@TheWebEngr) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I think my wife would like someone high up to call her. As she is inconsolable at the moment. She has been passed from pillar to post on the phone for the past 90 mins and is still on the phone. My wife has some major health issues and no one seems to want to help.

    Anyone else having a problem with pixelated TV pics and the set top Box keep reseting itself ? #VirginMedia

  • JackParkerNo1 Jack Parker (@JackParkerNo1) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia And WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE 24HR SUPPORT????

  • TheGreyGeezer The Grey Geezer (@TheGreyGeezer) reported

    and once again @virginmedia have billed me WRONG!!!! - well time to cancel tomorrow - sick and tired of this piss poor service

  • denimscott DENIM (@denimscott) reported

    @virginmedia Was msg along lines of "no longer available". Have been told it's the channel provider who's done this. 851 & 852 have gone from yourselves. We can now watch recordings from the stations, so something has changed from earlier. Issue now would be that HD takes up a lot of space.

  • jamesleon6 james leon* (@jamesleon6) reported

    @virginmedia So are you going to help@or offer any assistance?

  • outsideinside3 Dave 'Maxie Mac’ - building a metaverse life. (@outsideinside3) reported

    @JBrindle21 @virginmedia The worst thing is, the guy showed up yesterday to install but rather than ring my doorbell he thought it easier to pretend he did.

  • Herbert79Kerry Kerry Herbert- (@Herbert79Kerry) reported

    @virginmedia Yep! And had a signal sent down from the team.. still a problem

  • danjack1871 Daniel Jackson (@danjack1871) reported

    @virginmedia I booked an appointment this evening (for Friday morning), but didn’t book one beforehand as I was specifically told by your customer service that there was a problem in my area and engineers were working on it? Is there no record of this?

  • Chakradan SUJIT KUMAR DAS (@Chakradan) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, my sim showing no service for few weeks, so I can’t use the service and I am out of UK at the moment

  • Yorkshire_KTF Chris. (@Yorkshire_KTF) reported

    I wish Virgin Media / All4 would use the same servers to deliver streaming TV programmes as they use to deliver the mandatory adverts. 3 minutes of crystal clear beer commercials with never a problem, followed by errors, 4 times out of every 5 attempts on my V6 box.
