    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps for @virginmedia Broadband for them to only supply me with 40mbps, internet is barely moving, can’t even load basic web pages on my MacBook or phone. Problems in the Birmingham area?

  • lvwlvs
    LVWLVS (@lvwlvs) reported from Cheslyn Hay, England

    @virginmedia That was the first thing I tried but nothing happened. It’s only when I power off at the wall, wait a minute then power on that it changes. Right now it’s working fine but this has been a recurring problem this week.

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No. Already done it about 7 times without any luck. I refuse to waste more hours in queues, only to rehash my issues to another anonymous operator. I've been assured that this is in the hands of a named handler, who didn't call me back as promised and is ignoring my emails. Fail

    I'm so pissed off @virginmedia blackmailed me into signing my mobile contract with @O2 by saying my media account would be cheaper. If I stayed with virgin it would be amount more. So I had no option but to go with o2 and No my mobile Internet is crap. I can't use my doorbell

    @virginmedia Right then fools. How many times do I need to contact you to tell you how bad our internet is? I am so fed up with this service and wouldn't recommend you to my worst enemy. I cant wait to get service from someone reliable. Clowns

    @virginmedia what is going on B31 5 still without Broadband & TV from 11am and now being told fix is 12pm tomorrow. I have been unable to work all day & now problem is going in to tomorrow. This is unacceptable & I hope refunds for loss of service will be applied to all accounts.

    @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

  • MartinWilko

    Virginmedia down Sutton Coldfield. National outage . Their website down, unable to report status. No reports or statements from Virgin media. Price rise of 13.8% #VirginMediaoutage @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Rebooted several times. Wi-Fi works fine, it’s just the VPN. Automated message says there’s still an issue.

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Ended up just reconnecting my TP Link router, it seems the problems were with my Hub 5 because everything seems to be working fine now. Not great @virginmedia

  • measlewolf
    Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

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

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

  • chrispsaras
    Chris Psaras (@chrispsaras) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia no broadband since yesterday afternoon, told engineers were on route but still no update. Your offshore call centre is also unhelpful and not able to offer any further information. Please can you help?

    @virginmedia why is the Sky Sports red button not working

  • NewtonAndy
    Andy Newton (@NewtonAndy) reported from Dudley, England

    @Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

  • mrmjprice
    Martin Price (@mrmjprice) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I have been but they couldn’t get a good-enough price and directed me to the self-service page but I get “customer-exclusion” at the end of the URL which tells me to use chat.

  • scbadham
    Scott badham (@scbadham) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia really disappointed in the service lately all it does is keep dropping. I’ve had no Internet services for the last hour again the fourth time this week and it’s still not working

  • Rei_Never
    James Washington (@Rei_Never) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia This is mental. When I moved house, over a decade ago now, they were upfront with the contract. However, they did indeed massively screw up - cancelled the DD for the new contract, left the old one in place, I was still paying for the old service. Took 6 months to fix.

  • kadenbatt
    KB (@kadenbatt) reported

    @virginmedia Internet issue in our area for over 24 hours now and absolutely nothing done to change it. Pay all that money a month for no reason just a scam

  • grahamhill1
    Graham Hill (@grahamhill1) reported

    @MartinSLewis Virgin Media were terrible to deal with when I had a contract with them, poor customer service up until I quit - only then did I get to talk to someone in charge. I still quit and signed up to @sky

  • salemsdaughters
    Kingofsalemsdaughter (@salemsdaughters) reported

    BBCs report on Virgin Media is 100% accurate. When I informed them that i had moved house to an area they did not cover they pushed me to stay until my contract ended. I had also had several technical difficulties to which they delayed any actions to fix the tech issues; what was the issue? i was unable to change my email. I call their customer service dep and neither of them were able to help me. This happened on several occasions Where i had to wait WEEKS for very easy to solve problems. @virginmedia

  • ainm_gan5505
    GanAinm (@ainm_gan5505) reported

    @MartinSLewis Virgin Media is not actually Virgin, it’s a ****** American company called Liberty with a license to use the Virgin Media branding. The real Virgin company should take the license off them for driving the name through the ****.

    @virginmedia I rang your service number and there is an issue in the area

  • fayfreddie10
    faye (@fayfreddie10) reported

    @virginmedia You're not i get fobbed off all the time. I was talked around into taking out a new contract on the promise that VM would solve the issues or give us the right to leave without charges.. a year in and nothing good has come of it.. even the phone line is unusable.

  • dollDCFC
    Dermot O'Leary (@dollDCFC) reported

    @virginmedia @siemaiqbal The only tweets we ever see here about Virgin are those complaining when their service has been interrupted, which is understandable.I wonder though what % of Virgin customers it represents? From personal experience my service has been out a very few times over 20+ years.

  • NathanGage15
    Nathan Gage (@NathanGage15) reported

    @virginmedia @BonesE78 My contract is about to expire I won't be renewing it as the best price they can do is double what I'm currently paying however a new customer can get the same package for £10pm cheaper than what I'm currently paying.
