    @virginmedia hi Virgin have been waiting for your customer services dept to speak to me on chat for over 8.5 hours after I was passed to them. Absolutely shocking customer service

  • Mindful_Chat Emily Davies (@Mindful_Chat) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Ok I did that a optimised then signal. So I will give that a go for now and hopefully it won’t kick me out again. I though it was the online meeting platform but it happened across multiple sites (teams, Skype etc...)

  • Darkbluebaggie Doug Grant (@Darkbluebaggie) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia It wasn’t me it was my sister. She spent 3hrs 10 minutes on the phone to customer services and still didn’t get her issue sorted. Its not great customer service really, oh well.

  • georgiarec28 Georgia (@georgiarec28) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia bit annoyed at the service I’m receiving. I am trying to speak to someone about an order which is “parked” says someone will be in touch but no one has been? Can’t find an online chat and phone I give up being on hold!!!

  • Jod_69 Jo (@Jod_69) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia well this is just brilliant. Having WiFi problems trying to log into my virgin media to find out what’s happening. Error message saying I have no internet connection so can’t log me in

  • julsbarnes julianbarnes (@julsbarnes) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Your broadband is down in B139YN....any idea when it will be back up?

  • Brummie_Girl julie (@Brummie_Girl) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia morning. Are their broadband issues in B31 again? Mine’s constantly going down this morning. Colleague also the same in Solihull. Website says no issues but that’s not reliable.

  • songbirdeee Songbirdeee 🦁 (@songbirdeee) reported from Tamworth District, England

    So #VirginMedia I report a fault this morning, you say repaired by 6pm. 7pm I called as still not working despite txt/email says fixed. 50 mins of listening to music then, "the other person has cleared" Really don't like being lied to. Not good enough, valued customer, my arse!

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

    @virginmedia looks like there is an outage in the B24 area for broadband.

  • KarenPerry7 *KP* (@KarenPerry7) reported from Willenhall, England

    Disgusting customer service as per usual from @virginmedia again. #disgracefull #terribleservice

  • robbiederby Robin Palmer (@robbiederby) reported from Birmingham, England

    First impressions of @VodafoneUK #5G... Underwhelming and somehow still slower than @virginmedia's #4G (in B15). With Vodafone downloading at just 40Mbps and Virgin Mobile coming in at 70Mbps. So to summarise. Slow to roll out, and slower than 4G when it does appear. Not good.

  • EverSoSlightlyy Lewis (@EverSoSlightlyy) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia how can you make internet so bad that it can’t be reliable for a single day for the last 9 months?? I just did a speed test and got 8 mbps down and 0.03 up.. yes. 0.03 up, I was planning on streaming for the first time since you ruined my connection but apparently no

  • victortebbit jason jones (@victortebbit) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia The '**** of back to America'. 😱

  • WaynePBarrow Wayne Barrow (@WaynePBarrow) reported

    @El78790319 @virginmedia For us, this just added to a long list of other issues, we spoke to about 15 different people until we found one person who actually did their job. But they’re awful!

  • emmabevan_13 E M M A • B 💛 (@emmabevan_13) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you for that but it shouldn’t have to take me a tweet to get my issue resolved when it shouldn’t have happened in the first place! Just feel disappointed & trapped now!

  • ChiefOfOverIt Sarah K (@ChiefOfOverIt) reported

    @virginmedia I spent 45mins on the phone this morning for them to say the service shows fine. The technician that came said that you guys cannot always see the same thing. The box across from my house is covered in a big grey cover. It needs resolving outside he said

  • DJPhillyO Phil O'Neill (@DJPhillyO) reported

    @virginmedia Please fix your mobile data issues. It has now been a week of intermittent issues on 4G. 2 other household members are also experiencing issues on 4G. When will this be fixed? Any refunds likely to be issued for the lack of poor service?

  • Xuquelina Lauren Hymas (@Xuquelina) reported

    @virginmedia We've tried it won't let us speak to a physical person. Just says they know there's an issue in our postcode and directs us to the website. No further details

  • thegabbycabby chris forsyth (@thegabbycabby) reported

    @virginmedia and now I either have to find the money that I don't have to pay for a service I don't have. Get your act together I've been with you for years but mit for much longer as it's like you don't care. #poorcustomerservice.

  • WaynePBarrow Wayne Barrow (@WaynePBarrow) reported

    @El78790319 @virginmedia Nope! They’ve been useless. My parents are both deaf and the only contact I have with them during covid is FaceTime. Virgin just don’t seem to care about this issue 🙄

  • thegabbycabby chris forsyth (@thegabbycabby) reported

    @virginmedia you need to get your call centre staff to explain things properly. I downgraded due to financial and health and wasn't told it's yet another month in front even thought I will lose that part of the service in 2 days. Absolutely raging.

  • dagmardnoe Dagmar Noe (@dagmardnoe) reported

    @virginmedia Being diverted daily to 3/4 people that don’t know what they are doing really doesn’t help!

  • JayPodesta Jay Podesta (@JayPodesta) reported

    Hey @virginmedia just lost all my services - tv & broadband. Can see one of your ‘experts’ down by the box in the street. Please have a word ASAP.
