  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • K45TRO EA (@K45TRO) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia why is your broadband so awful?

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

    @virginmedia Yep just says problem in my area. Not helpful and is getting to be a pain tbh

  • SteveA_3 Steve Arliss (@SteveA_3) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    This is the exact reason I use the web chat!! To ensure conversation is saved on screenshots! So far today @virginmedia have been completely useless! Want me to pay for a service I'm not getting and they dont know when I will be able to get again

  • RitzNarshi Ritz (@RitzNarshi) reported from Lichfield, England

    Watching @virginmedia engineers install cabling to a property opposite. Residents moved in yesterday. They’re not in, nor is their neighbour. Didn’t stop the engineers lifting the neighbour’s lawn to drill and feed through cabling. Terrible.

  • SteveA_3 Steve Arliss (@SteveA_3) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    And they expect me to be happy to wait until the 5th of december now? While still paying full price forbabaervice I cant use because they messed up @virginmedia seriously wtf!!

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

  • ChrisImms I.Am.Chris.Imms (@ChrisImms) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia any chance of some customer service? Installation booked for last Friday, engineer didn't show up... twice I've called and been hung up on. Complained via email, no response. Anyone want to tell me what's going on?

  • 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?

  • mraymond68 Mark (@mraymond68) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia I have spent over 3 hours on the phone to you trying to get my broadband sorted and SIMON decides to cut me off!! Great customer service!! 😡

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

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

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

    @virginmedia As per last message it says problem in area. It’s back working now (see time of initial mail). 4th time this week it’s been down for prolonged periods of time. Not good

  • StaffordTownUK Stocky. (@StaffordTownUK) reported from Stafford, England

    @virginmedia what are you doing to resolve the broadband ongoing performance and outage issues I'm Stafford. Many people /sites complaining.

  • 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

  • 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

  • PhilCampbell_ Phil Campbell (@PhilCampbell_) reported from Willenhall, England

    @virginmedia Not gonna keep calling. I also won't be paying for a service you guys can't be bothered to give me.

  • SteveA_3 Steve Arliss (@SteveA_3) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    And @virginmedia want me to pay if I decide instead of the uncertainty i want to cancel it and get someone like @SkyUK or @BT installed that can actually provide the service you pay them for

  • chigzdesai Chirag Desai (@chigzdesai) reported

    Absolutely pathetic and disgraceful broadband service from @virginmedia !!!! Constantly cutting out and shocking speed!!

  • pdf1978 Paul Freemantle (@pdf1978) reported

    @virginmedia been on hold again after speaking to two different people. Nearly 2 hours and still no one can help me reduce my services ffs. #shitservice

  • helloimKatieJo katie. (@helloimKatieJo) reported

    Hey @virginmedia Having to use my own hot spot to work from home for the 2829192th time this week. On hold for 30mins to be told 'we are in a bad location'. Why do I have to chase for a fluffy response. Oh and big one here - Why am I paying full price for half the service. 😭

  • Toyaaaaa23 Toya (@Toyaaaaa23) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi is actually the most SHOCKING thing I’ve ever experienced!!! How can one company have so many issues all the time! I’ve lived in this house for 3 months and 98% of the time I’m using my own data! It’s a joke

  • aliceains18 Alice Ainsworth (@aliceains18) reported

    @virginmedia who do you email or contact to put in a complaint.

  • EdDaunt Edward Daunt (@EdDaunt) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. Will continue my efforts to get technical help from Virgin. @SkyUK @TalkTalk can you guys provide a better broadband service and customer service than Virgin?

  • marcsnappy Lord Marc Corn (@marcsnappy) reported

    @virginmedia I have and you want £14 a month more for the same@services I have. Stupid really, no budging I tried.

  • shamrock_sully Richard Sullivan (@shamrock_sully) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the response, we have the connect app, but it keep saying the password in incorrect even though we haven’t changed it so we can’t connect it to our hub and can’t see any help options that will talk to someone to resolve it. Frustrating.

  • LindaWoodcock2 Linda Woodcock (@LindaWoodcock2) reported

    @virginmedia can someone please tell me how to cancel my virgin media? Have been trying for months and can’t get through to you. #tooexpensive #betterdealselsewhere #difficulttocancel

  • GreenLe69138272 GreenLeaves (@GreenLe69138272) reported

    @virginmedia @SouthamptonFC No seriously thinking of leaving after over a decade as a loyal customer - they only care about signing you up, not you as a long term customer. Will now spend my time researching other companies
