  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 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...

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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!

  • 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!!!???

  • 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...

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

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

  • 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

    @louisewil86 @yanic1965 @virginmedia Refuse to pay for a month...any contract by law gives you 14 days to cancel!

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Jasperj30Mel mel clarke (@Jasperj30Mel) reported

    @virginmedia please can someone help as the app is useless. My landline is no longer working, no dial tone, can't receive or make calls so can't phone virgin. The app says there is no problem but trust .e there is, I am paying for a service I can't use. My phone is fine

  • iamdavestott Dave Stott (@iamdavestott) reported

    @virginmedia 2/2. The number I was given provide no option to choose to speak to someone about a complaint. I just want to speak to someone to get my money back, and it's like pulling teeth

  • markypee43 markus (@markypee43) reported

    @virginmedia my ntlworld email was hacked. Rang through spoke to someone called melody who changed the password. Very unsecure password. Was told call back yesterday. Nothing. This is quite serious and as usual your service is poor. No problem taking my direct debit though.
