    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

  • 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.

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Very much doubt it Mark; like I say- they have the market sewn up so can treat their existing customers with contempt.

  • 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

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia service down phone lines closed internet fecked no apology you are a disgrace #virginmediasucks #getyouracttogether #feelsliketheft #customerserviceisnil #whereismyrefund

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

    @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

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

  • 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 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

    @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

  • 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

  • MrPaulDH Paul Humphreys (@MrPaulDH) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia waiting waiting on the phone no internet at all now your Auto mated checking service says a problem need to speak to your CS. Waiting waiting 30 minutes now

  • 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

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • PedalTrill Amanda Forsyth 🇺🇦 💙 (@PedalTrill) reported

    @virginmedia We have cable broadband. The agreement we signed up for promised us an average download speed of >100Mbps. We've never received and and the only communications I have from you suggest that is my fault.

  • gavin_drewry Gavin Drewry (@gavin_drewry) reported

    @virginmedia There RJ45 Ethernet cables, speeds fluctuates from 18-50Mbps really unstable

  • KoitsuShima Shima (he/him) (@KoitsuShima) reported

    @BenNewbon @virginmedia Can you terminate the contract and get another provider instead if they don't deliver?

  • paddislife paddislife (@paddislife) reported

    @philvgr81 @virginmedia @attichris2k The Hub 4.0 is only offered to 1GB customers, any packages below that are still on Hub 3.0 (apparently a lot people have given up there Hub 4.0 to go back to 3.0 due to countless issues reported with it Phil)

  • OldSkoolSandhu Harj Sandhu (@OldSkoolSandhu) reported

    @virginmedia hey team any chance someone can help me with my complaint that has been going since Feb 2022

  • snorkfr0ken ✿ ☻ (@snorkfr0ken) reported

    @rossisacoolguy @virginmedia I switched to BT from EE in January, it took ages and had so many issues before it finally stopped working. Turns out they had me under two separate accounts: one where I was paying for nothing and another one connected to my flat that was cut off. Absolute joke.
