    Selwyn St.Bernard🇹🇹🇬🇩 (@Selwynsaint) reported from Longbenton, England

    If @virginmedia offer you a 6 month free upgrade do not accept it. It is a way of locking you into a further contract. Poor service as always

  • NuttyRichie
    Richard Payne (@NuttyRichie) reported from South Shields, England

    Another blackout on @virginmedia

  • minkewales
    minkewales (@minkewales) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Dabooka @skybiggerpic @virginmedia It was my second attempt to be fair. First time they reduced the price rise to £1.50 per month, then I rang back a few days later to cancel. Found a better deal elsewhere but price was the driver for wanting to leave. Lovely @virginmedia agent was able to help!

    @virginmedia hi can someone help me with my broadband

  • philippat
    Philippa Taylor (@philippat) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia good customer service , they asked if they could ring me back in 15 mins due to his PC not working , now 2.5 hours later and I am still waiting , tried ringing them back and been on hold for 28 mins now 😡

  • LiamCottam
    Liam A Cottam (@LiamCottam) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Everyone was fine (eventually). The feedback is simple. If I can self serve setting up and managing my account I should be able to self serve cancel.

    Brian Reid (@brtoon) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

    @virginmedia 1. Why the neighbour would not have the same issues when the ‘issue’ is your automated phone system is beyond my comprehension! 2. It is not a neighbours responsibility to resolve a phone issue for the bill payer. 3. Through an internal contact I now have an engineer visit bkd.

    @virginmedia I’ve already spoken to someone on the phone who reset the network, but that didn’t work. I also tried re-starting everything and that also didn’t work, the box itself is very slow now also.

    Ian K (@sheeshkebab) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’m not after any account info though, so no need to go through security. Neither of my parents are very technical nor do I have access to the device showing the problem.

  • NuttyRichie
    Richard Payne (@NuttyRichie) reported from South Shields, England

    @MrChrisWynn @Simon21ne @virginmedia @nowtvhelp @SkyHelpTeam I managed one week before cancelling! Sky says I have so many devices that it’s slowing the hub down, in 2019 that’s piss poor

  • jameshedges4
    James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I need someone to contact me immediately as I need to make a serious complaint about service. Completely ready to escalate to higher management as this incompetence of this company is a disgrace

    @crokakaar @virginmedia Try calling them for help if you've got a spare few hours to waste.

    @virginmedia Worst broadband and cable provider of all time.

    @virginmedia The person that put me on hold said it looked like there was a problem in our area and tried to put me through to technical help but after music droning on for ages it just stopped. Have given up and watching a dvd instead

    neosalad (@neosalad) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @NatalieeeLoweee @virginmedia I had this issue. Got home from work to watch charity shield #MCILIV after avoiding the score and it was unwatchable because of the sound issues for me so I gave up. Will just watch #motd tonight instead. #nothappy

    @Sunset_Twilight @virginmedia Also try a different wifi channel. Go into Advanced -> Wireless Signal settings in your Virgin Hub setup page. Disable channel optimisation, and then select a different channel manually.

    @virginmedia 2 days we’ve been out. You might be able to send fucknuts to space but you can’t provide wifi. Get that mulletted **** to stop wanking billions away so he can float in a plane and spend it on a: a broadband service that works and b: some customer service.

    @virginmedia What is going on. Your status panel says there is broadband outage in my area (SW London) and it will not be fixed until tomorrow at the earliest! Can we get an update on Twitter please.

  • ktnztigers
    Kieren (@ktnztigers) reported

    @virginmedia No one spoke about my complaint but gave me a month's credit. That is the resolution I wanted but without looking into the service I received and discussing my complaint no feedback or coaching will go to the agents who served me poorly

  • Bike_Nut69
