  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia problems with my phone line in B9 Birmingham.

  • 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 .

  • bevvyxo_ ✨ Hannah ✨ (@bevvyxo_) reported from Solihull, England

    Spent 45 mins on the phone to @virginmedia to agree a new contract. I didn’t receive the confirmation email as agreed so rang up to check only to be hold there was no record of it and they couldn’t honour it. 10/10 customer service there 🙄

  • 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

  • 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...

  • 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 !!

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

    @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

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

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

  • gorman_wba Liam O'Gorman (@gorman_wba) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia Your an absolute joke of a company, you charge me £50 a month for broadband and it hasn’t worked for the last 2 months, 4 people in our street have the same problem but yet when an engineer comes out they claim they’ve fixed it when they havent,sort it out,disgrace.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • corbettcollins Ash Corbett-Collins (@corbettcollins) reported from Birmingham, England

    @gaz112 @virginmedia That'll be the same @virginmedia that sends passwords out by post, complete with other sign in information. They're pretty much a joke at this point.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • carl_morgan3 carl morgan (@carl_morgan3) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue with services in the B90 area. Cheers

  • 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.

  • helen_willcock Dr Helen Willcock (@helen_willcock) reported

    @virginmedia are you really going to charge us £200 because we broke our contract, when it is you who won’t provide the service to us when we’ve moved house?! Appalling way to treat customers who have been with you for 10+ years. We certainly will never use your service again.

  • freniquiter Monofreniq (@freniquiter) reported

    Is the @BBC sound syncing problem happening to everyone, @virginmedia customers, or just me?

  • lxnaspears t (@lxnaspears) reported

    @mademetoxic @virginmedia I went over on my data because it’s so bad 😭😭 cba with it

  • HaileeBacardi Hailee (@HaileeBacardi) reported

    @SCOTTAMANIA @virginmedia No, that’s not what I was getting at. I wanna use my Xbox on the TV like I would when I’m on the WiFi… except my WiFi is shockingly bad!

  • bellasbeauty5 💕The Beauty Belle (@bellasbeauty5) reported

    @virginmedia yes i will do but u think the forums will help this problem ok ?

  • JohnTru90613516 John Truesdale (@JohnTru90613516) reported

    @virginmedia really disappointed in the ongoing poor service you are providing Wifi is terrible & although entitled to 3 boosters was provided with 1 which has made no difference to the poor speed/quality Can’t speak to anyone as the system set up is to avoid any customer support

  • JulieFryer14 Julie Fryer (@JulieFryer14) reported

    Dear @virginmedia - please can you tell me where @KerrangMagazine tv has disappeared off to & why ******** the box is on every channel?!

  • aliye263 ♥Sexy Gal♥ (@aliye263) reported

    @virginmedia please can you tell me more information about the kids package. I am a full VIP customer with a complete TV package and a message he just appeared to say Nick Jr will only be available until the 1st of November ??? First of heard of this ???

  • BulbousGutt Vinz Clortho (@BulbousGutt) reported

    A Virgin Media Technician has to come on the morning to see why our WiFi is not fit for purpose when having Zoom calls, (the picture on sound degradation is so bad that it's unusable), but it takes them 4 hours to get someone to you. Virgin Media "Turn On, Get Pissed Off!

  • AlanSurgeon Alan Surgeon (@AlanSurgeon) reported

    @virginmedia will the known problems in EH1 / #Edinburgh be fixed soon ?
