    @virginmedia Cancelled the account on 28th or 29th March. Was told by one of your staff members that the service would be cancelled immediately and that #virginmedia owed us just over £70. She also cancelled the direct debit, agreed to send a cheque for the balance to an alternative address

  • gilly562 Gill Anderson (@gilly562) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia no virgin mobile service, can’t make calls, can’t text or receive. No 4G. Been like this for an hour!! PLEASE CAN SOMEONE AT VIRGIN RESPOND!!! Lots of unhappy customers

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I am sick of contacting yourselves regarding it. Your company does not seem to know which department I need to speak to. One minute It's customer care, then movers, then disconnections, who pass me back to customer care. #notaclue #virginmediasaga

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hey its been like this for a while. I have the power socket scheduled to restart every night, but it isn't helping. Ive also reset to factory settings numerous times as well as try different wireless channels. WiFi is only part of the problem though as the issue exists on cable

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @anemoneproject @virginmedia @virgeinmedia The account is suspended now. I'm going to guess a disgruntled customer!

  • gordysocceruk gordon (@gordysocceruk) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia How long is this outage going to last been off for neatly 4 hours.

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    Things that have happened in the time it takes for @virginmedia to resolve a complaint. #Royalbaby has been born, #Liverpool beat Barca, Maya got caught on #Emmerdale, #iran have threatened to change their #nucleardear. #virginmediasaga

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    For all the poor sods like me who had nothing but trouble today! #VirginMedia #Virginmediaoutage

  • Clarquey Simon Clark (@Clarquey) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Hi @virginmedia. Trying to call, text, WhatsApp my wife today attempting to sort out our children etc and completely unable to. My contract has just been increased. Pretty shocking service and I'm paying more! I would expect some compensation at the very least 😡 #VirginOutage

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia the Royal baby will have his own baby before you sort my issue out or answer the phone #virginmedia #virginmediasaga

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia We asked at the time of there was any money outstanding and we were told no. We were never told it takes 30 days to cancel. Again poor service from yourselves. I don't have the complaint number no as your staff keep hanging up

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia it's a shame I don't have a #timestone so I could go back and never get a service with you #stealingcustomersmoney

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    So your staff forgot to cancel my service properly and then conveniently raised two new bills rather than giving us the 70 pound you owe us. 2 X managers and not a clue between any of them #virginmedia #thieves #makethecustomerpayforyourmistakea

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia #virginmediasaga on hold to yourselves again. #youneednewholdmusic. Although I do find it ironic that you play a song with the lyrics 'I'm a sucker for you. The only suckers are the customers like me that can't seem to get issues resolved! #virginmedia #thieves

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia So another tonight wasted last night on the phone to all your departments and still no resolution. Still trying to make me pay your staff's mistakes. #virginmediasaga #thieves

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia can you help me with a broadband technical issue. I have 200Mb, power cycle the router daily and still by the end of the day end up with super slow speeds. Less than 1Mb tonight. Thanks.

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No sorry I'm meaning the Internet on my virgin mobile phone is slow

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @sky do you resolve customer complaints in less time than the 3 weeks @virginmedia need #imightneedanewprovider #coolingoffperiod #virginmediasaga

  • DavidDu70949647 David Dunn (@DavidDu70949647) reported

    @virginmedia Any chance you can have a look for my @virgin.net email account whilst you are at it ?? Little wonder I want to cancel my contract but no one at Virginmedia will help me do that …

  • LeonHutton Leon Hutton (@LeonHutton) reported

    The worst thing about @virginmedia going down is all the support tickets you get from people working from home not able to get online... The best thing? Being able to close those support tickets so easily by saying "Virgin's down, it'll work when they've sorted it" 🤷

  • SilverBrass Silver Hemswood (@SilverBrass) reported

    @virginmedia Any idea when you’ll be restoring our internet service? It’s been out since 1am.

  • KMB193 'Lady KatiB' for services of being brilliant (@KMB193) reported

    @emmalunn @virginmedia Few weeks ago we had issues and told we'd have a call back. Nothing, nada. Yet they made sure they sent the letter with the hiked fees.... 🤔

  • Hunji1010 Hunji (@Hunji1010) reported

    @virginmedia Enginerr Cole’s broadband stops working. Date for another engineer arranged he comes can’t figure out what happened not had to move router also keep in mind I was confirmed we would have three boxes setup but the engineer was only here to fix the broadband!

  • lithium_bullets #DFTR (@lithium_bullets) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, just received my new router but the bbsetup1 link provided is dead and the router keeps flashing green. I haven't been sent an email with the account number so I can't get through on the customer contact line. Could you provide me with another contact number?

  • MsSC1986 Sarah (@MsSC1986) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. I am not available until after 3pm. I did report this issue via a private web chat this morning.

  • Mr_Sean_Taylor ありがとう (@Mr_Sean_Taylor) reported

    @virginmedia the entire day the wifi has not worked. Absolute disgraceful services and hardly any updates. Throw away comments that you’ve restored service yet there is none will not cut it. I’m ringing to complain and to get a discounted bill. #virginmedia

  • SAMSON453236241 SAMSON (@SAMSON453236241) reported

    @virginmedia @Jaym7t5 no compensation and no actual explanation. You're not the white house it isn't a matter of national security. @virginmedia once again proves to us all that when the chips are down you DONT have our backs. So when my contract expires and I'm choosing a provider I won't have yours
