  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I called the help line and a bot told me to restart my router twice and then proceeded to end the call. Little fed up

  • RWileECoyote Rob Wylie (@RWileECoyote) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi a few folks on our street keep experiencing drop outs of WiFi signal in the middle of the working week, a few of them have made contact with you but no issues are being found, and you don’t seem to be able to help? but there is clearly an issue?

  • amymccordx Amy McCord (@amymccordx) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia how do you log a complaint? It’s made impossible. Emailed the ceo weeks ago and no response

  • Lucy__Hedley Lucy Hedley (@Lucy__Hedley) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I was told that I would be called back by a manager #lies Now due to further incompetence you have cut off my Internet & phone service. Claiming that I haven't paid a bill when there's a direct debit set up! #diabolical service. I've never been treated so poorly.

  • SafcJamieG Jamie (@SafcJamieG) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia They raised a complaint and nothing was done about it, they probably didn’t even listen to the call where I was sold the product, if they did it would have been dealt with

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

    @virginmedia how can we be made to pay for a service We have not used my usual bill is £122.00 my new bill is £206.19 the charge is for telephone use of £84.14 we have not used the phone in two month I have been on the phone for over an hour and a half getting passed about

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

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

    @virginmedia I seem to be having BB connection issues here!!!

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

    @virginmedia Its the wifi thats gone down. I am currently using a wired connection.

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

    @virginmedia I have called them twice today still having issues

  • alicen0rt0n alice✨ (@alicen0rt0n) reported from Washington, England

    THE WORST customer service @virginmedia, should be ashamed of treating loyal customers the way a member of staff has just spoken to my mam

  • JeffsW0rld Jeff’s World (@JeffsW0rld) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Please sort your complaints team out.... I’ve been promised a resolution numerous times over the last few months and still nothing. what a complete embarrassment they are.

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia can you explain to me why you tell blatant lies in response to a complaint

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia Technical support to discuss slow speeds

  • ChrisJ94_ Chris Johnson (@ChrisJ94_) reported from Wallsend, England

    . @virginmedia rang virgin last week to move house. You've done the external install yesterday but haven't turned up for internal install today. Tried to log into my account and it says my package is cancelled no options for support at all. Called and hung up on before answer.

  • MarkCarruthers_ Mark Carruthers (@MarkCarruthers_) reported from Wallsend, England

    What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

  • TraiAnfield Trai Anfield (@TraiAnfield) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

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

    @virginmedia Your having a laugh my download speed is 0.03 mbs and its still crap!!!!

  • panicdragon8784 Panicdragon8784 (@panicdragon8784) reported from South Shields, England

    @BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams

  • chizzy73 Dave Chisnall (@chizzy73) reported

    @virginmedia Not working at all as yet. Not very happy tbh. It’s a complete farce now.

  • GeoCyberwolf 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️|🥚|Geo|🟠🌤|🏴 (@GeoCyberwolf) reported

    @virginmedia An issue signing up. I signed up just fine, had an install date and everything. Now a few days later I get an email telling me my credit score isnt good enough and not offering any alternative option like paying a deposit or something. This isn't good enough.

  • vmbusinesshelp Customer Service (@vmbusinesshelp) reported

    @1stevengrant @vmbusiness hello, i am sorry to hear that, please if you can call the team back and they will then be able to re-open the ticket for you that was closed and help with resolving the issue. many thanks

  • awesome_squib Gemma-Louise (@awesome_squib) reported

    @virginmedia I finally have service today, albeit very slow but my upload speed is currently 2.58Mbps. It has been incredibly low all morning. I am unable to connect to any video calls & meetings. What needs to be done to get the upload speed back up? #urgent #WorkFromHome

  • jagga_singhgill Jagga Singh (@jagga_singhgill) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing has been resolved or any resolutions provided. Thankfully I will be able to escalate these issues to CISAS and have them further my complaint.
