  • TheWebEngr Phillip | The Web Engineer 👨🏻‍💻 🌋 (@TheWebEngr) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I think my wife would like someone high up to call her. As she is inconsolable at the moment. She has been passed from pillar to post on the phone for the past 90 mins and is still on the phone. My wife has some major health issues and no one seems to want to help.

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

    @virginmedia HD is almost as good, but sport in SD is just horrible to watch

  • paulasenior44 Paula Senior (@paulasenior44) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I’ve had 2 issues in last 2 weeks in Europe and away again tomorrow. You tell me all working yet it doesn’t. We reset everything and you had to escalate issue. Within 24 hours it started to work in Greece. No service in guernsey which means it’s not going to work tomrorow Spain

  • TheWebEngr Phillip | The Web Engineer 👨🏻‍💻 🌋 (@TheWebEngr) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia my wife is on the 4th phone call to you guys and is in tears beacuse she is stressed out by one of your operators who she cannot understand and has made her incredibly upset. My wife has major health issues and you are not helping at all.

  • JWilliams_94 Jamie (@JWilliams_94) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Nothing about Wi-Fi on the service page but by looking at the other 1000s of tweets from people with the same exact issue I’m clearly not going to get a solution anytime soon

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

    @virginmedia It's not some 😂🙈 it's everyone mate noticed my Google pixel just went to H+ from 4G so appears you've switched everyone to 3G while fixing the issue. #virginmobile

  • ADaveWard David Ward (@ADaveWard) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia Checked with the team. New SIM won’t help with Push Notifications.

  • paulasenior44 Paula Senior (@paulasenior44) reported from Birmingham, England

    @ClaireBoyles @virginmedia I’m having a nightmare with customer service. No one listens or takes accountability!

  • paulasenior44 Paula Senior (@paulasenior44) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Please can you call me. I am ready to cancel if this is not resolved today. Your service does not meet even the minimum standard required.

  • paulasenior44 Paula Senior (@paulasenior44) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I am away in Europe again from tomorrow and need a service that works. I have been on hold for 30mins several calls and your assistant cut me off despite a promise at the start of the call that they will ring straight back should the call end. I’m still waiting 2.5hr later!!

  • RuthOlive1968 Roggy (@RuthOlive1968) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia Mine down today and it's a crucial time for my children's uni work with dead lines . Not a happy customer.

  • ADaveWard David Ward (@ADaveWard) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia My home WIFI is always quicker than when on mobile data. My wife’s @VodafoneUK network always receives first and quicker than your network.

  • ADaveWard David Ward (@ADaveWard) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @virginmedia SMS sent. If you think a replacement SIM will solve the issue then yes please do send one. Thank you

  • ChapmanGaynor Gaynor Chapman (@ChapmanGaynor) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia how long is this network going to be down. I can’t make calls on my mobile and I have no internet connection and haven’t had any since about 1pm , not happy

  • paulasenior44 Paula Senior (@paulasenior44) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia And to add to that 7 calls to your customer service and we going round in circles. Appalling customer service

  • Realtimeedu Lynne Taylerson (@Realtimeedu) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @Virgin_Victoria Call charges are not as bad as the wasted hour on the phone and another long wait ongoing now for the text help service to respond. Seems @MoneySavingExp forums are correct about difficulty leaving. All I need is a PAC texted or emailed to me and I'll be on my way.

  • Realtimeedu Lynne Taylerson (@Realtimeedu) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia I am waiting, for 15 hours so far. Am thinking of ringing the upgrade or new phone line as I'm sure I'll be dealt with straight away then. Ofcom will be able to advise me I'm sure with help of @MoneySavingExp

  • djchrisr Chris Roberts (@djchrisr) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia not long after that because I immediately received a high bill but was told it takes 30 days to set up, so I accepted that. I've messaged & emailed about all this before & gave up because of poor or non-response. It's frustrating. I'm very busy and don't have time to keep chasing

  • djchrisr Chris Roberts (@djchrisr) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I called the mobile team at the start of the year to put a £5 cap on my mobile contract which my daughter uses but have now received a bill for £29 and discovered the cap was never put on. CS on the phone insisted I've never called about this but I know for a fact I did....

  • mo4g_777 mo4g (@mo4g_777) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia maybe if virgin didn’t spend shedloads of money on crap adverts and looked after your customers better it would mean something

    @virginmedia broadband down in EH7 for six days. Fix date moves every 12 hours Customer service on phone can't give any details only that there is a fault. No way to escalate I've been told. Pitiful level of service. Please advise how this can be escalated.

  • arobbieg Rob Grove (@arobbieg) reported

    @virginmedia you have the prestigious accolade of the worst customer service experience I have ever experienced. I don't know why anyone would trust you with their business. You have certainly lost me. Shame over such a simple issue!!!

  • Halemp Mike (@Halemp) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, your agent did that and no good. I can watch sky sports video content but I can’t access the live sports channels, as I get the same message re device limit reached. Tech support will call me back…

  • littlespottydog 🍭 Lolly Golightly #GTTO🟥🟨#YesCymru (@littlespottydog) reported

    @virginmedia @Wimbledon I’ve been trying for 2 days to cancel/downgrade services - can’t speak to a human being, only speaking to someone via WhatsApp messages - even this is painfully slow. I want to cancel. Now.

  • ryan_ash92 Ryan Michael (@ryan_ash92) reported

    @virginmedia Just spoken with Nicola who was extremely helpful and rescued Virgin medias poor service
