  • SusieWJr Susan Johnson (@SusieWJr) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia broadband down in my area. I pay nearly £100 pm for this ****. Time for a change I think 🤔

  • clairado77 claire smith (@clairado77) reported from West Bromwich, England

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

  • HJMKent Howard Martin 🇺🇦 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia Just to let you know I was billed by you for Netflix on 10 June, the subscription was not paid to Netflix by you - so they cancelled my account! You owe me a refund please! Also this was a issue as far back as May & Virgin were saying "they were addressing it" Still are it seems!

  • meclareyb Clare (@meclareyb) reported from Birmingham, England

    Very pleased to publicly announce we are leaving virgin media. I have never known such a diabolical internet service - current situation our 100mb per whatever it is means our internet is unstable for any zoom session. Utterly ridiculous. Hoorah for us 🙌🏻

  • meclareyb Clare (@meclareyb) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia you claim we get 100 whatever’s per second. So tell me. Why my internet doesn’t work. I can’t stay on a zoom as my “internet is unstable” and live tv “jumps” not streams. You sent somebody to resolve last time. It’s now repeated this behaviour again. Why do that?

  • HJMKent Howard Martin 🇺🇦 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia There are no local problems - I checked yesterday - also my account detail's show my next Virgin bill due next week has had the Netflix subscription removed by you & my Netflix account shows it was last paid in May. I'll try a reboot & see what happens - thank you

  • MrsDont09 helen somerville (@MrsDont09) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia whats happening with the service in B29 area. Been off and on past 24 hours.

  • _lilymarsden Lil (@_lilymarsden) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Hi John, my wifi has gone down 4 times since last night, we’ve reset it on the box twice this morning alone and it still keeps dropping … can’t get through to anyone on the phone and website says they won’t send anyone out for another 24 hours and only if the wifi stays down ???

  • ___Mezzala Riz 🌹🇬🇧 (@___Mezzala) reported from Birmingham, England

    CANNOT WAIT until we leave @VirginMedia in a few months time. Non stop internet issues for months now. I’d urge everyone to swerve Virgin Media. Better companies out there who do more and cost less.

  • stu99746 Stu99746 (@stu99746) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia internet down since 2120pm WV6 postcode. Any ETA VM?

  • Rob_Hicks W1NGNUT (@Rob_Hicks) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Doesn't matter now, we've terminated the contract and joined Three home broadband. I just think it's disgusting that a customer of over 10 years doesn't get offered a deal as good as a new customer.

  • ___Mezzala Riz 🌹🇬🇧 (@___Mezzala) reported from Birmingham, England

    @AGJ27_ @TwiitterJo @virginmedia Ours has gone down… Again. The 5th time this evening. I’ve had enough of this ****. Genuinely can’t wait to leave. Never experienced such awful service in my life.

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

    @virginmedia I’ve reordered twice already. The packaging never arrives

  • HJMKent Howard Martin 🇺🇦 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia I'd like to know why you discontinued my Netflix subscription? The service just stopped but I didn't cancel it? It was paid for in June but there is no charge due to be made in July! It was connected up to Sunday but today I just got a message asking me to rejoin?

  • rjoberns R Joberns (@rjoberns) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia service status checker ……… nope, That’s not working either

  • stumccullagh Stuart McCullagh (@stumccullagh) reported from Solihull, England

    £117 a month & @virginmedia down again plus still haven’t had my booster I was promised in Feb 21 & June 22

  • MutliRaceMan Jean Thierry 💙 (@MutliRaceMan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @KellyQuilt @virginmedia Virgin are hopeless for ease of contact. My daughter was with them and the service wasn’t at all good. This nonsense about calling them at a time to suit them is just ludicrous. They need to admit that they (& others) don’t staff adequately to suit their customers convenience. 🤬

  • HJMKent Howard Martin 🇺🇦 (@HJMKent) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @virginmedia I've rebooted the box & it's resolved the issues with the Apps - thank you - however it doesn't explain why my Netflix subscription has been removed from my service package and bill, which presumably happened before the problems started yesterday late afternoon accessing Apps?

  • all_day_ Mathew (@all_day_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia hey guys whatever I try to play back or if I rewind live tv to play back the boxing is terrible so much so you’re unable to watch the programme. The wires are all connected fine and all other internet devices are fine. What’s the issue?

  • dazholdcroft1 Daz (Oaky) Holdcroft (@dazholdcroft1) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia Well if it’s so far taken 5 years I’d say it’s never going to happen surly

  • JosephJMart Joe Martin (@JosephJMart) reported

    Virgin Media downloading at a whopping 100kb per second. They should be paying me to use this ****

  • alsalfsdad Alan Wright (@alsalfsdad) reported

    @virginmedia I was told a complaint had been raised on chat and then resolved. News to me!!!

  • MrRichPowell Rich Powell (@MrRichPowell) reported

    @virginmedia hey how soon after the cables have been installed in the street will it show available to sign up online? Cables down last week and team today working in the street cabinet.

  • discovanna Discovering Anna (@discovanna) reported

    @virginmedia Really bad today. Was attending a conference and WiFi crashed. Had to use Ethernet to reconnect. Having to use 4G just now to tweet.

  • MiniMingers AD08 PDK (@MiniMingers) reported

    @virginmedia In that case you'll be very disappointed to hear that not one, but two advisors have failed to call me back when promised today. I'd be surprised if it wasn't the 4th time in a week someone hasn't called me back. I have never had to work so hard to give a company my business!

  • Juliega66 Julie gay (@Juliega66) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, there have been faults in the area this afternoon but this is a regular occurrence. A technician has been out, replaced the hub and fixed an external fault but it still connects with no internet. Spend £60 on TP Links to help

  • ReikiGal_TLC Fiona Darby (@ReikiGal_TLC) reported

    @virginmedia She will ! The original email was headed up VAN INCIDENT .... maybe you get so many it was overlooked !? The internet & FB is full of van incidents !!

  • bunofallbuns Jane Woodward (@bunofallbuns) reported

    @virginmedia terrible customer service. Actually felt like one of your staff was enjoying the fact that I was frustrated having been on the phone for 2hrs without resolution.

  • lmh139k lmh139k (@lmh139k) reported
