  • kieranwby_ Kieran (@kieranwby_) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    4 days running wrang Virgin media regarding my broadband contract hold time of 40 mins then get cut off and in app support doesn’t help or live chat jokes man @virginmedia

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

  • dodgestweet Matt Dodge Donnelly (@dodgestweet) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia It all started as a Blueyonder customer in the '00's.... But actually, no, best not...

  • stephwales_ S t e p h . ♡ (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Great what deals you can get when you ring to cancel your contract 👍 @virginmedia a very helpful Hayley in your call centre. Paying less now for more than double what I had before.

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I keep getting message that blueyonder server is down and as such cannot log into VM or get and send emails

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia what has happened with the service in ne33 4hn area as I have no phone line no internet and no tv service

  • Marilyn_huartt Marilyn malibu (@Marilyn_huartt) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

  • RobbyRSSRobot Robby (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Just checking as it calls me your customer and I'm not! 🤣

  • MajorManor lee major (@MajorManor) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia You having service issues in NE15 7PH

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia It would help if you read the thread and the attached screenshot. I did email with specific requests under gdpr. That was forwarded within VM and I got a generic dismissive reply which didn't even acknowledge the queries. Further eroding trust in VM

  • edginggodout Darren Leigh Arkless (@edginggodout) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

  • julieclayevents Julie Clay (@julieclayevents) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Don’t forget to cancel your @virginmedia @skytv package!!!! #nofootball 😢

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia emails are not working the solution by Virgin is to log into My virgin media can you tell me how to do this when it is not recognising my log in and your call centres are all closed

  • Andymorris74 Andrew Morris ⚽️ (@Andymorris74) reported from South Shields, England

    How about @skytv giving movie channels for free across all platforms @virginmedia @bt_uk and help keep people at home! Come on, do your bit Sky TV 👍

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

  • fossdog_ Jake Fossey (@fossdog_) reported from Stanley, England

    @virginmedia are genuinely ******* shit

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    .@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

  • pepetideo Pepetideo (@pepetideo) reported

    @virginmedia in less than 1 week you destroyed your reputation to anyone living in Didcot. After an outage of a full day 2 days ago we have another today that you say won't be fixed until 4pm Unacceptable service.

  • brearley brearley (@brearley) reported

    @virginmedia my service has been down since 1am. CT9 area.

  • amtomyfriends Anne-Marie Inwood (@amtomyfriends) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry for slow reply. Landline. They’ve stopped since I said I’d check with you directly.

  • rich_tervet Rich Tervet (@rich_tervet) reported

    @virginmedia complete outage in CT7 - TV and internet. Your website is telling me there’s no outage and my router isn’t plugged in correctly. Any support available for two WFH parents also trying to occupy the kids? Thanks

  • welshwiz1971 Karen Young (@welshwiz1971) reported

    @samyoung71 @virginmedia Useless and total waste of time, energy and money! Hours on the phone to no avail. Dreadful way to treat customers who have worked tirelessly for 2 years solid treating people! Shame you don't help!

  • hadders4510 HadleighB (@hadders4510) reported

    @virginmedia no service since it went down approximately 5 hours ago. Ct7 postcode area. What's happening?

  • ubernoob71 Adrian C (@ubernoob71) reported

    Looks like Virgin broadband is down #virginmediadown #virginmedia

  • realCessnaBroon Craig Andrew Brown (@realCessnaBroon) reported

    @virginmedia is there any chance you could offer broadband in Bridge of Dee, Galloway? Our current service is the fastest offered here and it's pathetic, not even fibre.

  • ubernoob71 Adrian C (@ubernoob71) reported

    Looks like @virginmedia is down in Broadstairs (CT10) for me and others #virginmedia #virginmediadown
