  • jfrncs_ John (@jfrncs_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I have now tried unsuccessfully for 12 hours to use the WhatsApp service as again it goes around in circles if I am not immediately available. The number you helpfully provided hangs up after sending a link… please advise how I talk to someone about my account.

  • k1El_w Kiel (@k1El_w) reported from Birmingham, England

    @virginmedia @YodelOnline your ability to deliver equipment is shocking!!! The customer service you provide is even worse!!!

  • 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

  • ________Danny Satish Danny Paul (@________Danny) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @virginmedia i logged another complaint 1 to 2 weeks prior and heard nothing back. i was advised by cust service a month ago not to log a formal complaint and log an internal complaint instead

  • _shannonC shanny C 🌹 (@_shannonC) reported from Solihull, England

    @LenFPS @virginmedia they don’t care. it only happens 7pm onwards but will happen until the next morning so I can’t stream or anything. and they’re telling me to write on a forum as if that will fix it😤

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

    @virginmedia It’s on both WiFi and wired. At this present moment I’m unable to get ANY network from the router on both.

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

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

    Mad that I pay £71 a month for 350mbps a month for @virginmedia 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??

    Had problems with my TV since September now can’t get any live football or movies @virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia TV completely down this morning ,it’s been intermittent since September nobody helps me just fobbed off. Who is the ombudsman over you I can complain to? I’m no longer prepared to keep paying for services I’m not getting.

  • JMEden_97 James (@JMEden_97) reported from Solihull, England

    I hate VirginMedia me getting stupid little lag spikes

  • MariannexS Marianne Sommerville 🌻 (@MariannexS) reported from West Bromwich, England

  • chrispsaras Chris Psaras (@chrispsaras) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia no broadband since yesterday afternoon, told engineers were on route but still no update. Your offshore call centre is also unhelpful and not able to offer any further information. Please can you help?

  • charlwalden 𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕝𝕠𝕥𝕥𝕖🧸 (@charlwalden) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia how am I supposed to book an engineer? There are issues with the quick start installation I have and need an engineer to set it up for me

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

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

    @virginmedia hi I’ve had an ongoing complaint since September, I’ve had an email to contact yourselves but the phone number is getting me nowhere , is there another way of contacting the complaints dept?

  • shelleex5 Shelly (@shelleex5) reported from West Bromwich, England

  • OpiniatedOne1 Pretentious Opinions (@OpiniatedOne1) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @virginmedia its nice you’re offering new customers ridiculously cheap deals but charging prices through the roof for an inferior service for a customer of nearly 20 years #CostOfLivingCrisis

  • PastGrounds Lee (@PastGrounds) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, the service in Wimbledon is down and has been for a while now. Could you please confirm when it'll be back up and running?

  • Alex_B1971 The Bodyguard (Double Vaccinated) (@Alex_B1971) reported

    @virginmedia Please can you explain why over 1 month later. My ex wife's account hasn't been cancelled & when I phoned less than 1/2 I got cut off by the person inquiry on this ? I wanted to get the original black Friday deal & you failed to cancel on that last day.

  • narayan_iyer83 Narayan Iyer (@narayan_iyer83) reported

    @virginmedia there are broadband issues in Wimbledon Chase area for the past couple of hours. Can you please look into it

  • Amit_S_Bhopal Amit singh (@Amit_S_Bhopal) reported

    @virginmedia Contacting you on here because I've exhausted almost all other avenues. I've had a complaint disappear down a black hole and I've had to make 4 phone calls about my faulty router (you're still refusing to send out a new one). Can someone please get back to me

  • paulberry2303 Paul Berry (@paulberry2303) reported

    More time and effort wasted with the pathetic excuse for customer service from @virginmedia. Honestly how can one company be so utterly appalling?

  • sambrook Richard Sambrook (@sambrook) reported

    @virginmedia ...does the statutory compensation your rep told Santa he was entitled to get triggered by the website that says there's no problem? Anyway, Santa has other things to do this week - but if he hadn't renewed his contract recently he'd be checking other services as he flies around!

  • alanburkittgray Alan Burkitt-Gray (@alanburkittgray) reported from London, England

    I have hardly ever heard a good word about @virginmedia service. Why is it so hard to fix?

  • james01265934 . (@james01265934) reported

    @sambrook @virginmedia Agree. Same answer saying the wires are not connected. I’m an electrician there all in tight and snug. Get you customer service fixed ffs😡

  • james01265934 . (@james01265934) reported

    @sambrook @virginmedia I am not paying for a service I’m not getting. See you in court

  • Godzvilla Godz Villa (@Godzvilla) reported
