  • CompaneroDave David (@CompaneroDave) reported from Wallsend, England

    Have been forced upstairs to watch the match in the PS4. WiFi is usually crap up here. But, no, it's working perfectly so I'm forced to watch #NUFC. Cheers @virginmedia, why can't you do this when I'm trying to work?!

  • simplyajblog Abbie✨ (@simplyajblog) reported from Dunston, England

    @katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    What to do when you have been trying to contact @virginmedia since november 2 complaints raised with disgusting customer service, eventually someone answers the phone only to cut me off 😡😡😡

  • billgibbon Bill Gibbon (@billgibbon) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia All praise to your engineer Paul who has got us back online this afternoon. Still needs a new cable to be pulled through, but the fix is there. Thanks for everything.

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia What an absolute shower of **** your customer services are, goodbye don’t contact me again!

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia broadband constantly disconnects, contacting you via phone is a total waste of time. How do I get this issue sorted?

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia I am not in receipt of universal credit and back in nov i thought we could save some money by downgrading now I would like everything out, and will go with another provider. After the service i have received from yourselves nobody else can do as bad a job

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia Are you actually serious you have now wasted over an hour of my time back and forward on here to tell me to ring the same number i was cut iff from twice back in nov!!! Disgusting customer service @virginmedia what a joke

  • Michael56370476 Michael lee (@Michael56370476) reported

    @virginmedia imap.ntl server. not responding is the error message. is that an issue at yiur end? I NEED my email.

  • nickswatton Nick Swatton (@nickswatton) reported

    @virginmedia As ever you’re showing no issues but speeds are only 25% of what they should be. I resist the temptation to call you as that is normally followed by a couple of weeks of unsolicited marketing calls from you. In the market for a new provider. They can’t all be as bad as you are

  • ratchford2k Carl Ratchford (@ratchford2k) reported

    Dog **** @virginmedia

  • unlessIsayso Mrs Y (@unlessIsayso) reported

    @virginmedia So apparently we’ve received a response saying our engineer spot has been postponed because there’s a network issue in our area.

  • Par7yPoison87 Nick Hastie (@Par7yPoison87) reported

    @virginmedia I have explained many times and always get told the same thing - that I’m wrong. Ever since your “smart upgrade” to my router I have had issues connecting devices that never had issues before despite them being in the same spot as always! Does not help when trying to work!

  • ontvnow ontvnow (@ontvnow) reported

    @N16Breda @virginmedia Same problem here, blueyonder email account fine yesterday, today getting imap server not responding?

  • Lozzy_Alder Laurence Alder 🇪🇺 (@Lozzy_Alder) reported

    @virginmedia This is an absolute farce!! Rang back as it’s still not working and now have to wait another 24 hours for the so called back end team too look at it again! Please get your customer service manager to contact me ASAP!!! I am not happy with your service!

  • charliejayrud Charlie🌎 (@charliejayrud) reported

    @virginmedia any idea why my parents are paying for broadband that hasn’t worked for over a week and yous aren’t fixing the problem for ‘a couple of weeks’ great customer service 👍🏻

  • Lozzy_Alder Laurence Alder 🇪🇺 (@Lozzy_Alder) reported

    @virginmedia Or give me their contact details as the bloke on the phone could not! I have been a loyal customer and even though you increases your price each year by nearly 100% and I have to argue to bring it down I am still with you!!!

  • Termehhs Termeh (@Termehhs) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. And now Ive been on the phone for 20 minutes and just been hung up on. Joke of a company with awful support. Advisor had no clue what to do, put me on hold for 10 minutes then hung up. Again. Joke.
