    @virginmedia Unfortunately, you dont have a ticketing system or cobtact email to track issues, rather a phone system that requires you to wait forever to get through to an agent. A/c number: 095063606. I was charged x2.5 of what i was tp pay.

  • AdieJAMster
    Adie Hughes (@AdieJAMster) reported from Swindon, England

    @virginmedia Internet has been down again for the whole night. When I spoke to you about the recent last 6 times it’s been down you said there was no issue! Looks like whole of UK was down now yet our bills go UP & UP & UP! #virginmedia

    @virginmedia Right then fools. How many times do I need to contact you to tell you how bad our internet is? I am so fed up with this service and wouldn't recommend you to my worst enemy. I cant wait to get service from someone reliable. Clowns

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

    @virginmedia I called 150 today to speak to a Supervisor regarding my bill. I was told I would receive a call within the hour. NOTHING. I agreed a contract 18/8/22 and the last two payments have been £65 & £75 more than agreed. This is shocking customer care and service.

    @Damien_Clyburn @virginmedia They're appalling. I've had business version for 10 years. BT never miss a beat. Outstanding. Get rid of them.

    @Cplcash @virginmedia Problem is other providers are so slow at installing fibre cables that most have no choice but to go with VM

  • 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??

  • NewtonAndy
    Andy Newton (@NewtonAndy) reported from Dudley, England

    @Niknaklady1 @virginmedia Oh dear. That's what made me think the problem may not be virgin, if you've got signal on another set. Hope you get it sorted 👍

  • 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

  • measlewolf
    Steve Lees (@measlewolf) reported from Dudley, England

    @virginmedia I’m currently on hold. My mum is in her 70’s and waited in for an engineer only for them to send a text 10mins before to say you were coming in the 26th. The original appointment was the 21st and her TV service has been down for well over a week.

    @virginmedia Im getting slow speeds on my broadband. My package is volt and which should be 250mbs im getting less that half of that. Please ask your team to look into this

  • 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.

    @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

    @virginmedia Trying to help my neighbour. She got message saying needs to upgrade to 360 by June but when we follow instructions to go to apps and games there is no 'upgrade' option

  • Hamsolo1977
    Paul (@Hamsolo1977) reported

    @O2 your app has been absolute garbage since the @virginmedia account integration, it’s a nightmare to login and payment options consistently fail to work, I’ve been a customer for many years but it’s this kind of nonsense that makes me want to take my business elsewhere.
