  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia these past few weeks my wifi signal has been absolute dog, I used to be able to get good signal all around the house, now barely get goof signal in my kitchen no more than 10m away from the hub, my TV which is about 2m away only gets 30mbps when my package is 200??

  • NikoSarcevic Niko (@NikoSarcevic) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Service page doesn’t indicate anything. I’ve checked all the devices (I only use the wifi no lan cables) and nothing is connected.

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia service down NE26 PANTS

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Why is @virginmedia customer service so unrelentingly bloody awful?? Still no call from an engineer, told replacement TiVo box would come by post for it to come out by courier and get notified of this 20 minutes after the delivery window has started and I was at work 😡

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • NikoSarcevic Niko (@NikoSarcevic) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I see. It is very unfortunate as I cannot do my work when I’m not online and I also spend more on mobile internet because the service I pay for regularly is simply not there.

  • spleenal Nigel Auchterlounie (@spleenal) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hi @virginmedia i just had a call He said was from your technical department (We have been having quite a poor service from you over the last few months) He said he had to optimise the router & asked me to go to a site starting w3c Hung up because not a virginsite Was it you?

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

  • YummyMummyMo Trish (@YummyMummyMo) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @kidneydoc101 @virginmedia @virginmedia reply to your customer, and sort out the problem. It's not difficult.

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Dear @virginmedia, why is your WiFi so bloody awful? Another day of resetting, rebooting etc etc and it's still **** 😩

  • Deborah24780132 Deborah Gibson (@Deborah24780132) reported from Newburn, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia sort your employees out, two days in a row they have called me and hung up when I asked them to remove my number from your system. Poor customer service !!!!

  • rayspencermbe Ray Spencer MBE (@rayspencermbe) reported from South Shields, England

    Stay Healthy Stay Safe -final message from @virginmedia text service. It should read stay patient stay calm. Hopeless service and very slow!! I never thought I say I’d rather just wait on hold for the operator

  • rl_chris_higham Chris Higham (@rl_chris_higham) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @k_faulkner @virginmedia @jimconey I only got offered the new customer deal 20 days into my 30 day notice period after actually quitting! By which point I'd already signed up with someone else

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Well it said no issues, but all my devices will not connect, rebooted router. Nothing..

  • lbschmee Liam Bowering (@lbschmee) reported from Gateshead, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I have recently signed up for your WiFi package. However the Webpage when I try to register for a My Virgin Media account appears to be broken. Is there any other way to register for an account online? Thank you

  • vanderpijpen ChrisV2theP™ (@vanderpijpen) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia Yeah because they couldn't get it to work so my problem was hardly resolved!!!!!!

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Okay so why was I told it would be coming by post in 5 working days and why have I still not had a call from an engineer? Kind of my main issues and you can't blame Yodel for them!!

  • vanderpijpen ChrisV2theP™ (@vanderpijpen) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia Through WhatsApp chat lastnight said it was done received email saying added. Checked tonight still not working. Phonecall to your call centre 3 operators still not working now waiting for a technician 2 call me back apparently within 4hrs

  • RzMariko MarikoRZ (@RzMariko) reported

    @virginmedia This site says they can’t check so I should give you guys a call. I have been calling to the customer service to know the most updated estimate fix time, which has been delayed from by 3pm on 14th to now 3pm tomorrow…. It’s been a week with no service.

  • BhartiBkm10 Bharti (@BhartiBkm10) reported

    Who has issues with Virgin Media? I upgraded my package last week and now they’ve gone back on their word, very unprofessional! I have spoken to 5 different people asking me the same questions but not helping. They haven’t got a clue about customer service, so unhappy 🙁

  • AzimFaz Faz Azim (@AzimFaz) reported

    @virginmedia I speak to retentions one lady tells me my service is due to go live on april 24th....where has this date come from? now I'm being told by another lady it will go live 21st April Midnight!! Like wtf am I dealing with here...

  • Sineadleahyot Sinéad Leahy (@Sineadleahyot) reported from Firhouse, Leinster

    @virginmedia just wondering if there is a problem with the Internet in D14 ours is down but nothing on the virgin site about any issues

  • Dboy Dan Southern (@Dboy) reported

    Here’s some @virginmedia logic for you. I have a problem with my broadband, no issue in area on website. I therefore call for help, automated response says there IS an issue in my area so they’ll keep me up to date via a link in a text. Link says no issue in the area. 👍🏼

  • Catwomanx6 Lady Linda Catwoman #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@Catwomanx6) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. The call is automated and ends up saying to call the next day if there's still a problem. But it's an intermittent fault so it comes and goes all day long. It's hard to work!

  • muzza38 Murray Sale (@muzza38) reported

    @virginmedia possibly the worst customer service over the phone I have ever witnessed. #poorcustomerservice #virginmedia

  • MartinLoveday3 Martin Loveday (@MartinLoveday3) reported

    Once again virgin media have failed ,every time I phone up I get cut off , my latest bill is 153,00 what a joke overpriced and poor service please some one come up with something that works for one and affordable

  • sharontagg67 MrsTagg (@sharontagg67) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I’ve done this and had confirmation that this will be dealt with within 28 days. Poor poor service. Meanwhile no service.

  • claireb_24 Claire Brown (@claireb_24) reported

    @virginmedia Yesterday was when I sent my last email. I had no response or confirmation that an email was received. I never have received a confirmation of emails?
