  • omarqureshi Omar Qureshi (@omarqureshi) reported from Birmingham, England

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

    Only 3 months until i can get rid of @virginmedia awful internet even worse customer service!

  • TheRamblingElf Richard (@TheRamblingElf) reported from Birmingham, England

    @AksTailor @virginmedia When I had some issues like that I haggled a month or two of free Internet from Virgin until the issue was resolved. Convincing them to do that took an infuriating number of phone calls but it was a satisfactory outcome, I've stuck with them.

  • fantom_dave DF (@fantom_dave) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia shocking service and support this weekend in the Dudley area. Service constantly down and getting fobbed of by call Center staff asking to reset routers saying it will all work? Now no ones picking up in fact you just keep cut people off and no options to complain?

  • SkulyMusic Skuly (@SkulyMusic) reported from Aldridge, England

    @virginmedia The worst customer service in History gotta be seen to be believed

  • VickyBloor2 Vicky Bloor (@VickyBloor2) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia any updates on internet connection in the Midlands 5 hours down now 😡

  • lorna_conway Doonie (@lorna_conway) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia Friday I booked an engineer as the WiFi on our hub keeps dropping. At the same time I upgraded my package. This includes tech help. Since Friday I've had no WiFi. I tried website chat but got dropped I've tried calling but was waiting too long. I'm getting bored!

  • Neil_Churchard Neil Churchard (@Neil_Churchard) reported from Solihull, England

    Wow just had the worst customer service from @virginmedia can’t say I’ll be staying a loyal customer at this rate 😤

  • lorna_conway Doonie (@lorna_conway) reported from Redditch, England

    @virginmedia It's not an issues according to the site. It's working on wired connections. I'll be looking for compensation after this. If the costomer tells you there's a problem then take their word they're the ones paying you, why would they spend money other than to get what they pay for.

  • bjwgorman Ben Gorman (@bjwgorman) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Always but it makes no difference. There have been issues where I live since the start of lockdown. I have made a complaint but it’s gone no where.

  • cybilrat Jennie O (@cybilrat) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    In these times where working at home essential @virginmedia one week before anyone can fix my internet which was fine before your maintenance

  • docsjmann Steve (@docsjmann) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia rubbish customer service. How can you email them. When they don’t provide with the internet to email them about their problems.

  • Stanton_J John Stanton (@Stanton_J) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia help required, #customerexperience #badcustomerservice waiting for a call back since 1pm yesterday, Six times complained about the issue in last year each time told it will be sorted and it isn’t.... Do you want this customer or do you want to lose another to @skytv

  • fantom_dave DF (@fantom_dave) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia The broadband has been off two or three times today again and is off at the moment. I’m sick of this now as both myself and the wife work from home. I’m currently looking at cancelling and alternate providers. The service was fine until Wednesday last week when you did an update

  • ManicMundie Lyzz (@ManicMundie) reported

    @virginmedia Your system hasn't flagged it because I'm being fobbed off by your "technical team" who have got me to reset the hub twice and plug the ethernet cable into a device and it's still poor. I was tricked into renewing my contract with a promise of fixing the internet issue - lies!

  • chandjethwa Chand Jethwa (@chandjethwa) reported

    @virginmedia Your estimated fixed dates are unreliable as your services. The engineer has been sorting the issue out since a year ago. I am always told switch off the hub and restart. It doesn’t work! Send an engineer

  • DennyE1962 DennyElvis365 (@DennyE1962) reported

    @virginmedia @bridgerton Never seen it! Anygood?

  • P1LGRIM P1LGRIM (@P1LGRIM) reported

    @virginmedia hi can you help I have a v6 box stuck in a start up loop all resets have failed

  • TerraceFabulous TerraceFabulous (@TerraceFabulous) reported

    @virginmedia Tune up visit. An apprentice came to my house, spent 5 hours on the phone to his manager trying to fix a problem he caused...don’t worry about it, I’ve called billing & had it knocked off. Cheers.

  • Jay_Richards0n Jay Richardson (@Jay_Richards0n) reported

    @virginmedia Not happy about the price as well, at least once a month I have issues. And for £132 a month this should not be happening. @skytv what can you offer me?

  • Geo_1872 George (@Geo_1872) reported

    @virginmedia Only getting 2/4 bars showing for 4G and has been at 1/4 all week with calls cutting out half way through. Does virgin still use the EE network? Or has it changed recently?

  • chandjethwa Chand Jethwa (@chandjethwa) reported

    @virginmedia I waited over a year you saying it is reasonable to still wait? You don’t wait a year to charge for the service you don’t provide. I think this needs to be escalated with Watchdog and CISAS to add some weight. VM taking people for a ride

  • UkNoWmEGregyP greg ❤️ The DADDYDADDY (@UkNoWmEGregyP) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried I’m exhausted I put posts of ping plotter to show how bad it is

  • Sfoster_88 Sean Mathew (@Sfoster_88) reported

    @ManicMundie @virginmedia What even is that letter? Shockingly poor!
