    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?

  • AshleyDay1971
    Ashley Day (@AshleyDay1971) reported from Woodside, England

    @virginmedia Internet down again, 3rd day I'm a row. Can't even check status on your website as its not loading properly. When will it be fixed?

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’m getting around 80mpbs now, should be 350 though, when I try and test it says there’s a problem in the area, but no further information

  • MartinWilko
    Martin Wilkinson (@MartinWilko) reported from Birmingham, England

    @pipjcee @virginmedia And not working again in Brum! #VirginMediaoutage

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia And this is why, I'll be reporting you to trading standards for fraudulent misselling/misrepresentation and then abdicating ALL responsibility/accountability to resolve. There's no security/DPA issues in you giving me a direct dial number via DM. You just don't want to resolve.

  • beffycuk
    𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚑 (@beffycuk) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia Yes, and every-time it says no issue, when there clearly is! It interferes with everything, the hive, the tv everything! Really considering going elsewhere.

  • MartinWilko
    Martin Wilkinson (@MartinWilko) reported from Birmingham, England

    Virginmedia down Sutton Coldfield. National outage . Their website down, unable to report status. No reports or statements from Virgin media. Price rise of 13.8% #VirginMediaoutage @virginmedia

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Think we need to call an engineer out anyways, before the outage I was only getting 600mbps max when my package is the 1Gig.

  • ethnicalien
    G 🇯🇲 (@ethnicalien) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Not at the moment no but it's a common issue👀

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

    Any news on outages in B37? Also how do I get compensation for loss of svcs (inc my TV not working properly since September) @virginmedia

  • HuntColin58
    Colin Hunt (@HuntColin58) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia It took me best part of a day Friday 24/3/2023 to contact you to cancel my broadband but since I finally managed to you have been contacting me 4 times a day. We have signed a contract with someone else. Please stop harassing us we have cancelled

  • lePhantomPlume
    le Phantom Plume (@lePhantomPlume) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia It’s ok thanks, one of your team rang me, was extremely rude then hung up.

  • ReissOmari
    Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    Fed up of these “intermittent” problems with my @virginmedia broadband.

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

    @virginmedia Nobody has called me and the WhatsApp chat is very frustrating and not dealing with the issue. This is very simple, I was sent contract paperwork with an agreed monthly fee of £86.75. Why have I paid two months of excessively higher payments. I should have left VM

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

    @virginmedia @WaynesWorld20_ How many areas have this 'intermittent' loss of service? O have it in DY6 too.

  • 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

  • BrianMCape
    Brian Cape (@BrianMCape) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Another fail. I've reached out in exasperation since my chase-ups of 14th, 19th and today have been ignored. As have my 5 messages to your local rep who promised to be on hand. If you can't be bothered to help me, I'll just escalate via another route @richardbranson

  • 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

  • BeardPunk
    Beard Punk (@BeardPunk) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Rebooted several times. Wi-Fi works fine, it’s just the VPN. Automated message says there’s still an issue.

  • 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

  • daniel18921892
    Daniel (@daniel18921892) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Confused because they have literally stated they sent you a return pack? I’ve been with them for years and have never had an issue with them. Suppose it’s beucase I’m not a **** like you clearly are

  • MrBenGrant
    Ben Grant (@MrBenGrant) reported

    @virginmedia we are so done with you when our contract ends, barely a month goes by with outages and reliability issues! £73 a month you would expect top speeds and super reliability. Sadly not.

  • Matthew79421198
    Matthew Smith (@Matthew79421198) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Worst customer service in the world aside from @British_Airways

  • Jodie20
    Jodie Sinyor (@Jodie20) reported

    @virginmedia another let down. Waiting 5 hours for an engineer only to be told he’s rescheduled. I’ve taken a half day off work. Dreadful customer service.

  • Borgbunny
    Dave or David (@Borgbunny) reported

    @virginmedia could you give us more information as to why the predicted time of resolution for fixing the service outage in Kent is 8pm tonight? Does it take that long to really reboot everything?

  • stuarttownsend8
    the view of stu (@stuarttownsend8) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Even when you send it back in the packaging they provide, they don’t acknowledge receipt of it and just charge you anyway, takes a month to get your money back after they finally admit they had it for weeks, just like you said. Terrible company

  • Blinkfan180
    Robin (@Blinkfan180) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Terrible service. Internet would regularly drop at least once a day. Been on gigaclear and Internet has gone down twice in 10 months. Speeds comparable too. Also use sky stream. All good too.

  • WebBuildingFrog
    Anon frog poster (@WebBuildingFrog) reported

    @Simon_Coates @Simon_Whale @virginmedia I have the same. Only issue I've had with it is the cable was short by 1m so I had to order a longer one (third party much cheaper) Installed it all myself, whole village is impressed.

  • _DundeePerfect_
    A.Brown (@_DundeePerfect_) reported

    @virginmedia Where did you read that I had an issue?

  • chris_speller
    chris speller (@chris_speller) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia @richardbranson Never had a problem with them, they sent me the packaging when I left to send it back and it was free postage so hardly difficult , terms and conditions does state to send it back so if you choose not to then that’s your lookout ..
