  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia are you going to respond or do you just pick and chose? This is disgusting service. Over 70 quid a month for half a service!!!!!! Cancellation in Feb when my contract Is due at this rate.

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hahahaha talk about bullshit - had to change to sky because of your **** service

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia great customer service tactics, tell people theres going to be a long hold time, when they get to an hour on hold just hang up on them because they clearly don't need Internet any time soon...

  • Baddoo Christopher Baddoo (@Baddoo) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any network issues in Newcastle upon Tyne? Our internet is down and can’t get through

  • Dancoat1982 Dan Coates (@Dancoat1982) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia is your broadband down completely in #NE5 any idea when will be working???

  • DPhilipJones Daniel Jones (@DPhilipJones) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Me: “I’m going to have to cancel the contract as the landlord doesn’t want me to install the fibre optic broadband anymore” @virginmedia: “Maybe you should just buy the apartment, it’s not very expensive or anything” Confirmed. Virgin Media is Tory.

  • PaulGmedia Paul G (@PaulGmedia) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia My contract has expired and I’m wondering what options are available if I decide to sign a new one. Feels like it’d be easier to leave, tbh. I’m also moving house so wanted to discuss moving service to new address. I appreciate you’re busy, but it’s an absolute nightmare.

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @louisewil86 @yanic1965 @virginmedia Refuse to pay for a month...any contract by law gives you 14 days to cancel!

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia, you've text me a link after your phone robot tested my equipment, the link doesn't work. This has been on going for 3 to 4 weeks. I've been paying for a service I've not been receiving. I need to speak to an actual person!!!!

  • RachelDMcDonald Rachel MCDonald (@RachelDMcDonald) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia internet has been off for at least 5 hours if not longer. Estimated fix time is now and still nothing..... sr4 area. When will this be back on!!!???

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia After 2 hours on hold I got through to a nice guy in the call centre, he couldn't work out the issue so I've got no Internet for 2 days until an engineer comes out. Love paying for services I don't get...

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia amazing concept of telling people who have no Internet at home to log onto an Internet chat room to get help with getting their Internet back, do I get a refund for the data used to tether my laptop just to get access to customer service?

  • Scotttate1990 Scott Tate (@Scotttate1990) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia issues with WiFi signal NE32 area. Been off and on all night, no known issues on website

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @louisewil86 @yanic1965 @virginmedia I'm supposed to be on 50mbs...nowhere near! What they dont tell you (any bband supplier) but my engineer does....is that the fibre cable only goes to your local substation box...then thru copper cable to your house ...so slowed down automatically!

  • schizoid007 John Lacey (@schizoid007) reported from Gateshead, England

    Can't wait till my contract is up with @virginmedia to move back to @skytv probably the worst TV experience I've ever had. Horrendous hardware, UI and Operating System

  • SarahWi38221850 SarahJW (@SarahWi38221850) reported

    @virginmedia #disability They never called back. As explained 360 box not #accessible in a #Blind home

  • gregofallgregs Greg (@gregofallgregs) reported

    @virginmedia The technical team didn’t help. I’ve requested a dongle and they’ve sent out a 3GB on data limited one. How is that going to replace unlimited 350Mb download internet. The next available call out is 10th May and you’ve leaked my numbers to scammers

  • Smiggylfc19 Lewis (@Smiggylfc19) reported

    @virginmedia The break down shows last months bill as unpaid and a late charge on top of this months bill, however, I had this whole bill wiped as good faith due to a complaint so this isn’t ideal to see this on my bill today

  • M_J_Gill Mike Gill (@M_J_Gill) reported

    @virginmedia I tried that last night and it took 2.5 hours without resolution :-( . I suppose I will have to try again

  • orlabrowne Orla Harrington-Browne (@orlabrowne) reported

    @virginmedia Ok. That’s great but I have tried to do this already today. And the automated service sent me a link via text to fix my issue. I need a human to arrange an appt. Please can you call me as I haven’t got time to be chasing something which SHOULD have been done 2 days ago

  • jsquires1990 Jay (@jsquires1990) reported

    @virginmedia I am on M200 and they said that the hub 4 should help. But cant upgrade it as the hub 3 isn't broken! - Its just not fit what I need so I use my own router but this means no stream now as I don't use a VM hub! Seems an odd decision.

  • jsquires1990 Jay (@jsquires1990) reported

    @virginmedia Its not a speed issue, its the hub that drops device connections.

  • Windsor1995 Darren Windsor (@Windsor1995) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t use a wired connection. Are you actually doing anything to look into this or just sending links to your website which tell me nothing? It just says ‘we’re looking into your issue’ - but I raised it on 8th April and it was escalated on the 14th and haven’t heard a word…

  • orlabrowne Orla Harrington-Browne (@orlabrowne) reported

    @virginmedia This is absolutely rubbish. How do I cancel this service? I want to cancel it now!

  • dinobhoy Steff (@dinobhoy) reported

    @virginmedia After a 50 minute phone call yesterday I think that someone may be on the case now. I’ll wait and see as I’ve already been told it would be fixed in 48hours two weeks ago. Paying over £1000 a year for a sketchy service
