    @virginmedia Hard to make a claim when there was no actual incident to cause the failure!

    @vmbusiness our internet is down but we have wifi? No sky catchup. What’s going on?

  • ChrisImms
    I.Am.Chris.Imms (@ChrisImms) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia any chance of some customer service? Installation booked for last Friday, engineer didn't show up... twice I've called and been hung up on. Complained via email, no response. Anyone want to tell me what's going on?

  • tr0y1291
    Troy (@tr0y1291) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia are an absolute disgrace. The broadband has been down more than in use over the last 12 months. My 1 year old would do a better job in the call centre they use.

  • HopeFord1994
    Hope Ford (@HopeFord1994) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @virginmedia Day 10 of no internet, partner has rang countless times spent the best part of 5-6 hours in total to various departments. Terrible as a new customer!

  • jaward916
    Jonathan Ward (@jaward916) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Yup, seems your systems have issues so the poor chap's calling me back later!

  • S_Whitchurch
    Sharon Whitchurch 🇺🇦 (@S_Whitchurch) reported from Burntwood, England

    First World problems. Internet dropping. Or should I say, @virginmedia broadband. Its awful, drops completely three / four times a week. Sometimes several times a day for a few seconds. Can't wait until I can give notice!

  • redron1975
    Ronnie Harris (@redron1975) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia guess what ********* your system is down again. Useless pricks.

    @virginmedia my TV has been off since 4pm no picture but sound can get tv guide etc on no problems. done all the usual restart check leads and can't get it back on.

  • PhilCampbell_
    Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia Trying to change my address for my services as I've now already moved and can never get through to you. And your site aparently says I'm supposed to pay £20 for the privilege of this **** service!???

  • Dannuccino
    Dan (@Dannuccino) reported from West Bromwich, England

    I've never had a more frustrating ISP than @virginmedia support lines provide no help and we're stuck in a loop of disconnects whilst being told nothing is wrong.

    @virginmedia what hell ,no Internet, so much fordoing my course ,WS10 8PE area, is there a problem

    @virginmedia @taylur41 Does @LutzSchueler know how bad your customer service is

  • aquaticsmum64
    AJKearney (@aquaticsmum64) reported from Aldridge, England

    Hey @virginmedia Had a contract with you for years but the TV service is terrible. Called to sort - gave details including PW for account via auto system (all correct). Person said the name on my AC is different??? My bill is in my name! Left hanging on for 28 mins then cut off!

  • LB_WFC
    Liam (@LB_WFC) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia Internet for the past 3 days has been absolutely awful!

  • NannieHelen
    Helen Croft (@NannieHelen) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia It’s the WIFi and what can you do about it? I’ve been a customer for many many years and this issue is causing aggravation. Surely I should expect uninterrupted service all day every day. It’s not cheap either is it??

  • kevmaslin
    Kev Maslin (@kevmaslin) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia your treatment of us over a Lasting Power of Attorney issue has been appalling. Your people have actually SHREDDED a document costing hundreds of pounds despite us being told it had been returned. CISAS has been invoked and your CEO will be told . @MoneyTelegraph

  • crowley1959
    Paul M Crowley (@crowley1959) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia The link you sent me only covers complaints about your services not account payable or refunds. I feel someone needs training. Awful service, I am going to this in the hands of a debt collection agency.

    @virginmedia red button not working again!! @skytv, does yours work? #FedUp missing baggies after my shift 😪

    JHenderson (@j_henderson__) reported

    @virginmedia since 9.15pm yesterday we’ve been without tv & internet, now they’ve just text saying 2pm tomorrow to be fixed. Nearly 2 days to fix an issue is disgraceful customer service. Again we’ll be looking to switch to Sky or BT. Virgin Media are useless.

  • annelilort
    Anneli Lort (@annelilort) reported

    @JonStone101 @virginmedia Exactly the same with sky. I cancel my subscription every year before they put the prices up and a week later I get a call from the retention team offering me a deal at half the price. Madness.

  • Rav_Jagdev
    Rav Jagdev (@Rav_Jagdev) reported

    @virginmedia Absolute lying bast*rd of a company. New customer lied to and led up the garden path. Disgusting customer service and not receiving the service I wanted or am now being ripped off for. Engineer visit confirmed my suspicions. Just wait until Monday!

  • graziegee999
    Grazie (@graziegee999) reported

    @virginmedia complete and utter terrible service. On phone for just shy of 2 hours on Tuesday, still awaiting management to return my call that was promised with 48hrs maximum 😡😡 dont promise what ya cannot deliver!!!!!

  • GPRO2023
    Gareth (@GPRO2023) reported

    @virginmedia I want a call from a manager ASAP as I am sick of all your empty promises and poor customer journey. I've been trying to get this resolved the past 3 weeks!!!

  • IanLewis299
    Ian Lewis (@IanLewis299) reported

    @virginmedia Are your call centre staff incentivised to handle complaints? I've just had someone raise a complaint and resolve it, despite me telling them explicitly I did not want a complaint resolved. Seems sketchy.

  • ColinSpalding2
    Colin Spalding (@ColinSpalding2) reported

    @virginmedia It says pop ups blocked when doing on a phone. On the tablet it does nothing. HBO max on my TV keeps asking me to sign in. Still trying to create an account without being charged.

  • juliefount
    julie fountain (@juliefount) reported

    @virginmedia please please do not ring customer services you are given incorrect false promises !

  • CameronScotece

    @virginmedia again WiFi completely unusable and not fit for purpose , £76 a month for the worst connection I’ve ever seen - Nottingham

    Percival Merganser (@lennylaw) reported

    Really good point from Steve. 0345 454 1111 How did I find the number? Went to the “accessibility support” tab on the My Virgin Media app. Always imagine you have a disability. Did they ask? Did they arse. Goes straight to the helpline.
