  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

  • greav41 Paul Greaves (@greav41) reported from Gateshead, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia Ended up removing them from our lives due to atrocious (being generous here) customer service. Even now they are threatening £130 charge due to them not sending out the box return kit.

  • barbarafoggo Barbara Foggo (@barbarafoggo) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Wow @virginmedia amazingly poor customer services on many levels. Not your best moment @richardbranson

  • panicdragon8779 John Brunton (@panicdragon8779) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia No problem

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your shit broadband and tv service is down again for the third time this week and it’s only Tuesday WTF do I pay you for! I bet I don’t see a refund for what you don’t deliver 😡

  • Northlander74 𝔖𝔱𝔢𝔭𝔥𝔢𝔫 𝔍. 𝔍𝔞𝔠𝔮𝔲𝔢𝔰 (@Northlander74) reported from Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Absolutely not, I'm not a customer, plus your service doesn't come this far north anyway

  • godisageordie andy kindred (@godisageordie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @neeta68 @virginmedia Worst customer service I have encountered is with Virgin media and mobile , needless to say I am no longer one of their customers, good luck

  • ktowers74 Karen Towers (@ktowers74) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my internet isn't working in NE25, are you having issues in this area 😥

  • Wardixo Jonathon Ward (@Wardixo) reported from South Shields, England

    Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

  • TaylorBurgen93 Taylor (@TaylorBurgen93) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia your customer service team is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard! Routers not working switch off then back on... it’s broken I can book an engineer for Saturday....

  • trisgallagher Hot Acid Rhythms (@trisgallagher) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Every single day for the last week my router just turns itself off and starts to update or drops out completely. Paying a lot of money for this service and it just isn’t good enough.

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia This lithium service you use is to get people off social media. It obfuscates and is unable to resolve anything. I'll take my chance in the legal system and with independent ombudsman.

  • ozwaldo1985 Craig Osborne (@ozwaldo1985) reported from Wallsend, England

    @LouisRoss67 Virgin Media box up to 2 and a half minutes tonight, switched to Apple TV and I’m down to about 20 seconds

  • lalunatic michael lamb (@lalunatic) reported from Sunderland, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia Worst company going

  • neeta68 Anita Whelan (@neeta68) reported from Gateshead, England

    16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Worst customer service from any broadband company. Avoid like the plague.

  • Ne31phil Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia disabled relatives who are without a phone for the second time ina month.they have a nurse call system that needs working phone line. No engineer until tomorrow. raised a complaint told some one will call non working phone. If no response complaint closed.

  • barbarafoggo Barbara Foggo (@barbarafoggo) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I really don’t think you can. Please provide me with an email address for the complaints department. I will write a full and detailed email and if no resolution I will forward my complaint to Ofcom.

  • neeta68 Anita Whelan (@neeta68) reported from Gateshead, England

    @Davidwillough19 @virginmedia After another 22 minutes and explaining it all again, calmly and politely I may add, the other person has hung up, unbelievable! @virginmedia can you help me please

  • panicdragon8779 John Brunton (@panicdragon8779) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Think I have but any more problems I will give you a yell

    @bt_uk why is your broadband so poor in certain areas? I'm getting 6meg with you but can get 250 with virgin media and they use the same equipment as BT

  • chriscresswell chris cresswell (@chriscresswell) reported

    @virginmedia the struggle continues, struggle to get any wifi now having installed 'amazing new' pods! struggle to understand why the phone op tells me there is an issue in my area which will be sorted by 17th but the website says all fine in your area! #virginyoufailsooften

  • paultoner999 paul toner (@paultoner999) reported

    When your partner calls @virginmedia 3 times.. each time promised a call back and not once has this happened.. to now be told no managers are in the building.. but now the managers are all busy on a call.. literally the worst customer service iv ever known @Ofcom #scammed

  • lanacallu6 yanandoll...💙 (@lanacallu6) reported

    @virginmedia just wasted 10 hours of my life that I won't get back trying to get some customer service from virgin. Anyone else out there having a bad experience with their web chat /whatsapp procedure

  • herrmann14 Daniel Herrmann (@herrmann14) reported

    @virginmedia PLEASE stop asking me to call to sort the problem of my missing equipment out! I get nowhere! Is there anyone out there who can actually help?! 🤬🤬🤬

  • Mark30304067 Mark (@Mark30304067) reported

    @youfibre @virginmedia Not yet, I need to make some phone calls first over the next 2 days, you have just started the service round where I live, so it's welcomed that's for sure.

  • TheGuyverB The Guyver B (@TheGuyverB) reported

    @virginmedia Okay, thanks for the update. Might be worth letting the product team know that requesting email or text notifications on the issue goes to the "Oops!" page. Must be a broken link somewhere. I'll just monitor it manually for now.

  • EnterTheGman Graeme Maitland (@EnterTheGman) reported

    Today of all days my @virginmedia internet connection want's to play silly buggers. Recently upgraded to 1gb and I've never got those speeds, it's usually around the 400mbps but today it's running at around 200mbps. Absolute waste of time and money upgrading

  • lisasykes36 Mrs S x (@lisasykes36) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely fantastic customer service from Kaine in the virgin media executive office, appreciate the call on a weekend and our 'problem' is resolved 👍

  • paultoner999 paul toner (@paultoner999) reported

    @virginmedia 2. As she couldn’t transfer to another member of staff.. we never received a call back. We rang and spoke to a guy who was literally no help whatsoever and promised us a call back from a manager as not a single manager was in the building.. NO ONE HAS CALLED BACK…
