  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia for the second day out of the last 60 hours we have no Internet or TV in the B92 area!! You do know the rules are still to work from home if you can don’t you? Atrocious service and reliability!!

  • brumadam Adam (@brumadam) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hi, since we’ve upgraded to 1gb and hub 4 we’ve had problems connecting @Tesla M3 to WiFi. Advised the Plume mesh might fix it and we can receive FOC but been out of stock all year it seems. Any idea when they might be back in stock to try and fix our issues please?

  • azoidismd Dr Ioannis Azoidis (@azoidismd) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Yes, everyone is sorry and everyone understands but no one wants to help. I still haven’t cancelled and you ask me to pay early cancellation fees after raising the prices. If not talking about the current contract I stayed a customer for almost 4 years even with the abuse I got.

  • travellingcoral Coral Musgrave 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇳🇴 (@travellingcoral) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @ThatLyndsey @priddy @virginmedia We sent it as advised as a tracked delivery with proof of postage. That's why it's £11. And they're charging £10 admin fee to disconnect our phone line. Absolutely shambolic service. #utilitywarehouse

  • Lacie_Adams1 Lacie_Adams (@Lacie_Adams1) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Well done @virginmedia screwed up again.. even on an online chat when it is written down infront of you you end up removing elements of my package I have specifically asked you to keep on 😡 it would be nice to have one good experience with you. How do I log a complaint?

  • king_body_art King Of Ink Land ® (@king_body_art) reported from Birmingham, England

    @shannonkeatingx @virginmedia Guessing you tweeted them after there closing hours. Ring them up make an official complaint this is an error that many fall short off. Plus you have the option of switching. @richardbranson name dragged through mud with these telecoms business

  • tahmehtay Tahmehtay (@tahmehtay) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia seems to supply only just above half of the country, but if you change address to an area they don't supply YOU have to pay £240 exit fee. Do not use them if you can't see into the future and know for sure that you will never move. Insane!

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

    @virginmedia Morning! So I checked the app for status and was fine, but on the website it said known issue all services. So I subscribed to the SMS alerts and it was "back" at 22:03. Hopefully it stays that way!

  • all_day_ Mat Burling (@all_day_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia No there isn’t and the only issue is with audio description, it’s driving me mad. I’ve switched it off but it makes no difference.

  • tahmehtay Tahmehtay (@tahmehtay) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia is trying to charge me an exit fee of £240 because I am changing address. I would continue with their service, except THEY don't supply the new address. How is this OK? How is such a large company getting away with such a brazen scam. Wow!

  • blaster1966 blaster66 (@blaster1966) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia All OK now but didn't have any service for 12 hours

  • jdbhrrs JADE (@jdbhrrs) reported from Birmingham, England

    does anybody else have a really bad time with @virginmedia broadband? my bill has gone up a couple of pounds recently but the internet is actually the worst it’s ever been 🥴

  • CraigBrownGolf Craig Brown (@CraigBrownGolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia such bad service from day one, nothing but problems and frustrations, an active complaint now been running for all of 2021 and so far I’ve received no contact, I have called in at least 6 times each time I get promised it will be sorted but still waiting? Shocking!!

  • JWRogers82 James Rogers (@JWRogers82) reported from Perton, England

    @virginmedia by sport one channel not working I’ve rebooted the box and still not getting any signal but all the other by channels are working what’s going on 🤬🤬

  • darrendunbar70 Darren Dunbar (@darrendunbar70) reported from Birmingham, England

    @coopersalty I strongly suggest you invest in Sky or Virgin media then. Having an old TV with only 5 channels is the problem here!!

  • davidiharris David Ian Harris (@davidiharris) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia who can I speak to about your shambolic customer service!!!??? 💩

  • jenstait Jens Tait. (@jenstait) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    So yet again another WiFi problem with @virginmedia in #wolverhampton and expected connection fix at 1:03am. Right... so how am I going to work now ?! 😡

  • tahmehtay Tahmehtay (@tahmehtay) reported from Birmingham, England

    In addition to the cost of a new home that I have to furnish fully top to bottom, @virginmedia is trying to charge me £240 exit fee when THEY don't supply the new address. This is seriously getting me down. I can't even afford necessities.

  • 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!

  • Markycot Mark Cottrill (@Markycot) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Internet and TV down yet again and this after a debacle of a mis sold “extra” remote control this weekend, absolute disaster and terrible customer service!

  • rachiep12o Rachiep (@rachiep12o) reported

    @virginmedia awful customer service. Our new 360 box keeps getting errors and you can’t do anything other than reset the box! Lost all our recordings on two occasions and now our box says it’s full even tho there are no recordings!!! Can someone actually help or do @SkyUK want us

  • jamiekitson Jamie Kitson (Parody Account) / Official (@jamiekitson) reported

    @botherer @virginmedia @theTRUESPEED Absolutely. My father-in-law cancelled his contract in April 2022. In Sept we realise they were still taking money from him. It was only *this week* that we finally got them to stop. We hope. My wife has spent approx 10 hours on the phone and awful online chat trying to sort.

  • BCeca Benny Ceca (@BCeca) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have, it was "fixed" around 3pm after it was down since the morning, gone down twice since then, right now, no Internet! Status page shows an issue as usual!

  • HoledTo To Have And To Holed (@HoledTo) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t want to raise a complaint I’d just like it sorted as there are bare wires on show

  • kkgorny1972 Kev (@kkgorny1972) reported

    @virginmedia I was told they would call me after their dinner break. I need this call back because virgin has told @netflix that I no longer want the service when I never asked for the disconnection. I have no Netflix as we speak and I want it reinstated today

  • LouiCM_ Louis (@LouiCM_) reported

    @LuxxReno @virginmedia Constant ping spikes it’s awful

  • bethanyafrancis 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒆 (@bethanyafrancis) reported

    I have never know anything as shocking as some of the @virginmedia customer service staff. Gone so down hill, so rude! 🥲😒

  • allriffnoraff Chris (@allriffnoraff) reported

    Virgin media system is down. Guess the cancellation of the TV package will have to wait. Next stop, the License fee.

  • OhThisBloodyPC Oh This Bloody Computer (@OhThisBloodyPC) reported

    @virginmedia Am trying to get a broadband account sorted out. For some reason, it sounds massively complicated to get a small detail changed, so we may have cancel.

  • iBainsy bainsy (@iBainsy) reported

    @LouiCM_ @virginmedia There is your problem, never use their equipment Put the router into Modem mode, buy your own router (netgear nighthawk works well) and problem solved. Can find tutorials online on how to do it. (Virgin even tell you how on their forums)
