  • 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...

  • body_mindfitco Paul Edgar (@body_mindfitco) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 6 days now without home Internet, landline and TV. No apology, no explanation from Virgin. Parents who rely on these communication lines. Terrible service.

  • JJohnsonJourno Jack Johnson (@JJohnsonJourno) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Any one have a resolution for no WiFi connection? @virginmedia

  • 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...

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

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

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

    @virginmedia If I go onto your mobile app I can never get into the info ...the icon just keeps swirling around & around etc

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

    @virginmedia I’ve done that and am now in a queue. Trouble is, last time I did this no-one ever called me...

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia So we are not just going to write it off as a bad job. Plus my mam finds it hard to understand the persons at the other end of the phone and why they ask for her bank details all we asked was to post out her password for her mobile account.

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia Hi...obv you have taken notice of my post re cancelling contract of one of your ex subs.Its Law!! Re my service..i'm wired from reuter to pc & tv then wifi to mobile & tablet obv...im happy with virgin tv but bband signal pc & wifi altho "50mbs" is slow ...NOT good enough!

  • 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!

  • 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

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Well it finally happened if you are not a online customer with virgin mobile and what shop at a outlet you are classed as the unwashed and not welcome anymore as a customer

  • 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.

  • 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

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Yes but the number on the letter to text to just comes back fail to send. Then I rang 789 for my mam and this person had her in tears also, so we have give up.

  • 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!!!???

  • dwarfitup1 dwarfitup (@dwarfitup1) reported

    @virginmedia They backed virgin media up because it started to work properly when they were looking into it. Then again went bad after. Like I say it's a joke. I was thinking of going to 1gig speed but seen as its so unreliable. I won't.

  • Jbgh2o James Greenwood (@Jbgh2o) reported

    @virginmedia I’m on the phone to you now and being told lie after lie while my mums fall alarm is not working. Complaint c190123370 refers and needs to be reopened. Apparently you can’t fix until Tuesday….are virgin going to pay for extra carer checks between now and then?

  • AdamT69 Adam (@AdamT69) reported

    @virginmedia S22+. I'm trying to talk reason on the WhatsApp chat but not really getting through. Just want some help and some time.

  • CharlieIDIC IDIC (@CharlieIDIC) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve done that again…I do it every day because service goes down every day and it always says the same thing”there’s a known problem in your area”

  • therealbreel Neil Barrie (@therealbreel) reported

    @virginmedia I received the packaging and you have arranged to collect from me on the 3rd March. In fact you sent me an email three days ago to remind me that you'll be collecting it on the 3rd. And then today you've sent me a bills for £40 minus what you owe me. This is an awful service.

  • DeanB13 landofhopeandglory (@DeanB13) reported

    @virginmedia @TheBHF @O2 Please have a word with your billing and contract teams awful service today

  • _shakattack Shak 🐮 (@_shakattack) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t see an update. We have a Hub 4 if that’s any help

  • olwyn26 Frances Ashton (@olwyn26) reported

    @virginmedia is this support? How do i get the app to work? It doesn't recognise the email address you used to confirm details

  • Jbgh2o James Greenwood (@Jbgh2o) reported

    @virginmedia If you can get an engineer out before Tuesday or give me a practical paid for by virgin solution as to how I cover my mums fall alarm between now and then, more than happy to have a call. I don’t want sorry, I want resolution.

  • stacewwfc Stacey Mansell (@stacewwfc) reported

    @virginmedia I have had a resolution to my issues this morning that I am happy with so our chat tomorrow is no longer necessary unless you still want my review of what’s gone on
