  • 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?

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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.

  • _AR91 Adam. (@_AR91) reported from South Shields, England

    It’s no wonder people pay for the dodgy sticks when you’ve got **** like this ffs @virginmedia

  • 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...

  • 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!!!???

  • Kristian7Ross Kristian Ross (@Kristian7Ross) reported from Morpeth, England

    @virginmedia Hi, you’ve blocked my grandmothers sim for reasons unknown and now she requires a new one. She received a text to say it has been sent out but it’s never arrived. Can someone please look into this for me?

  • 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...

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Hi when I run the service checker it just says there are faults in my area that are being fixed. It's happening now and won't be fixed till 4pm & started 11pm last night - this is now happening all the time. How can there be that many faults all the time? There never used to be.

    @mahtabnejad @virginmedia I've had no issues with them until this temporary house move return. It's been a disaster since starting it!

  • Lewbatross Lew (@Lewbatross) reported

    @virginmedia Tbh I'm done trying now. Your service is shockingly bad value for money and Richard Branson is in Jeffrey Epstein's best friends list on Snapchat. In a bit

  • gemmajarrett Gemma Jarrett (@gemmajarrett) reported

    @virginmedia & I never receive compensation as it's not down for 2 days - I'm still paying for a service I can't use today though. How am I meant to work with no internet?
