  • kolapoagunbiade
    TheBosz (@kolapoagunbiade) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent. A/c number: 095063606. I was charged x2.5 of what i was tp pay.

  • KittykatClaire
    Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    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

  • nealesj
    Simon Neale (@nealesj) reported from Swindon, England

    It looks like @virginmedia name servers are not accessible so no DNS records can be resolved. A major outage for their services. Seems to be no comms from them. @BBCNews are you aware? #VirginMediaDown #VirginMedia

  • TheShannimal_
    TheShannimal🔜#i70 (@TheShannimal_) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @MykeJD1 @virginmedia Gone down for a lot of people apparently

  • jordyanslow1
    jordy (@jordyanslow1) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia any chance of an update regarding the outage in my local area regarding internet connection? It’s been down 2 days straight!

  • robchippyman
    Rob Chipman (@robchippyman) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Tilton247 @virginmedia I had the same for 2 years. Constantly disconnecting on a daily basis . Changed the Hub and it worked straight away. No issues since. Good luck getting a new hub off them though.

  • timhazelwood2
    Tim Hazelwood (@timhazelwood2) reported from Bewdley, England

    @virginmedia He has called a few times and I called once. They say there is an issue in the area. He's been without service since July and they said the issue would be resolved on 21st aug. ive been away and it's still not fixed. It looks like an issue with the box to me as a layman

  • JazbaEnt
    Jazba Entertainment (@JazbaEnt) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia business installation, been given 6 dates since 17th January. 4 no show or wrong booked, 2 attendance but not equipped to extend installation from 1sf floor to 2nd. even billed for a service which is not even installed yet. Nightmare #virginmedia #broadband

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done that. My connection drops out for a minute or so every 30-60 mins. Hard to replicate. My account has notes regarding the reason why the credit was given last time. Ideally I don’t want to wait so long for the same issue to be fixed.

  • timhazelwood2
    Tim Hazelwood (@timhazelwood2) reported from Bewdley, England

    @virginmedia Hi, following on from the resolution of the issue outlined above. My dad has received a full bill despite being assured by every employee we have spoken to that he wouldn't be charged for the period he was without service (more than two months). Please advise

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Just to let you know, I've taken the time to write out another complaint via the link. I've submitted and it says 'nothing to see here'. The link says response within 7 days, and the submission says 28 days, and then my portal says I haven't raised a complaint. ANOTHER FAIL

  • nippa77
    Neil Simpson (@nippa77) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia why is it that your service is up and down more than a yo-yo? It’s getting ridiculous now!!!

  • 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.

  • jfrncs_
    John (@jfrncs_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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.

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to book an engineer? There are issues with the quick start installation I have and need an engineer to set it up for me

    MancLass (@Manc_Gurl) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve spent the best part of my afternoon trying to cancel my expensive out of contract broadband. Chat just exits without on app and PC and I’ve been on hold for 40 mins on phone no one answers. Do I just cancel the £93 a month DD because that is ridiculous

  • PlottwistPandit
    PlotTwistPandit (@PlottwistPandit) reported

    @virginmedia Trying to cancel my contract or explore options but stuck on the Phone to your customer care listening to music for 2 hours!! How is this okay?

  • punjabihammer
    Jay Ess Bee (@punjabihammer) reported

    @obbsie @virginmedia Hence I left and went to @SkyUK Their call centre isn’t a machine, and if you’re not happy with the initial contact ask to speak to a supervisor and problems do get resolved.

  • scripture36
    Margaret (@scripture36) reported

    @virginmedia See for disabled folk that upgraded to the 360 bullshit but cannot operate the inaccessible remote controls, don’t have an alternative? They cannot turn back apparently Can they cancel contracts and go to SKY as yours don’t work?

  • PC_ale
    Paul Caley (@PC_ale) reported

    @virginmedia the people on web chat not working today? Been getting the still in a queue message for almost the last hour and a half. Is it to raise a complaint? So who do talk to raise a complaint about raising a complaint, as the method to raise a complaint is not working!

  • jseviour14
    Jess (@jseviour14) reported

    @virginmedia I am a new customer and your services are not turning on!! Cannot get through to anyone to speak to, I am thinking of cancelling and going back to my old provider

  • dazzer6666
    Daz (@dazzer6666) reported

    @virginmedia 4 days and counting, no TV, phone or broadband. No chance of getting through on the phone, webchat is a useless bot. Account notification says the ‘issue has been fixed’. Absolute disgrace.

  • Dgjbear1
    Dgjbear (@Dgjbear1) reported

    @bravemongoose @virginmedia You won’t get a reply from X either. They are simply closed. I’m guessing the company is close to collapse. I’m trying to cancel my contract to after 25 years

    Dr. Paul J. Sullivan (@DrPJSullivan) reported

    @_HadleyGamble @virginmedia A common "customer service" complaint across many companies. Poor service is expected these days.
