  • Stephen12857059 Stephen Bennett (@Stephen12857059) reported from Birmingham, England

    Once again the Internet Orovider that claims to be the best @virginmedia, has an outage. I bet all my savings there would be significant kick back if the directors didn’t get paid, because the Lady dealing with their account cannot get online. Time has come for change #cancelVM

  • ReissOmari 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?

    @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.

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

    @virginmedia Async live chat (WhatsApp) sucks as you let me text you with a problem, let it sit for hours, then close it down if I don’t reply within 5 mins and repeat. I’ll just ignore all the comms.

  • Andrewc37109552 Andrew carter (@Andrewc37109552) reported

    @virginmedia cr00pa post code y am i still with out service

  • 20thCenturyMoo Michael (@20thCenturyMoo) reported

    @virginmedia left feedback on the play store, was then sent a link to follow. Link doesn't work. Go through service status tests time and time again. Has it fixed your issue? Yes or re-run test. No option to click no, to book an engineer or to actually contact anyone. Not good.

  • HarperJachi jachi harper (@HarperJachi) reported

    @virginmedia Non existant or intermittent at best if you live in the same area as me and customer service is a joke - WiFi down again so using virgin phone data but you've refused to boost my phone data to compensate where is the benefit to a customer in staying loyal to Virgin Media

  • WildflowerBryce Sasha 🙈//Met NHC (@WildflowerBryce) reported

    @virginmedia I’m having trouble with my wifi box once again, this is the 6th time the past two weeks. I’ve restarted it, turned it on and off, cooled it down. Nothing has worked. I live in a shared house and I barely have enough data.

  • AnttisociaI (@AnttisociaI) reported

    virgin media, ur internet sucks ***

  • marinac2003 Marina Hanna (@marinac2003) reported

    Fed up with @virginmedia in the space of a week lost service 3 times, one occasion for almost 24 hours, and they don't have the decency to reply to my request for pr rata refund. After over 20 years with VM it's time to look at switching to SKY.

  • leila24765781 leila (@leila24765781) reported

    @virginmedia sort out your service it’s absolute disgraceful you’re going to lose custom it’s been going on three months!!!!

  • howarth_nicola nicola howarth (@howarth_nicola) reported
