    @virginmedia service down phone lines closed internet fecked no apology you are a disgrace #virginmediasucks #getyouracttogether #feelsliketheft #customerserviceisnil #whereismyrefund

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

    @virginmedia it's a shame I don't have a #timestone so I could go back and never get a service with you #stealingcustomersmoney

  • gemmafisher5 gemma fisher (@gemmafisher5) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia what an absolute #nightmare to #cancel my services because I’m movinghouse my call has been hung up on #twice now #1andahalf hours on the phone and I’m still on #hold 🤬

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia #virginmediasaga on hold to yourselves again. #youneednewholdmusic. Although I do find it ironic that you play a song with the lyrics 'I'm a sucker for you. The only suckers are the customers like me that can't seem to get issues resolved! #virginmedia #thieves

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    So your staff forgot to cancel my service properly and then conveniently raised two new bills rather than giving us the 70 pound you owe us. 2 X managers and not a clue between any of them #virginmedia #thieves #makethecustomerpayforyourmistakea

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia can you help me with a broadband technical issue. I have 200Mb, power cycle the router daily and still by the end of the day end up with super slow speeds. Less than 1Mb tonight. Thanks.

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Very much doubt it Mark; like I say- they have the market sewn up so can treat their existing customers with contempt.

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia the Royal baby will have his own baby before you sort my issue out or answer the phone #virginmedia #virginmediasaga

  • ll370 IanBurns (@ll370) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • MrPaulDH Paul Humphreys (@MrPaulDH) reported from Washington, England

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia i tried google and doesnt work.

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hey its been like this for a while. I have the power socket scheduled to restart every night, but it isn't helping. Ive also reset to factory settings numerous times as well as try different wireless channels. WiFi is only part of the problem though as the issue exists on cable

  • hellsbells610 Hells Bells 🐧 (@hellsbells610) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I think there have been a few problems around where I live, but it seems to be ok now.

    @virginmedia 2 complaints raised, no resolution. A Manager was supposed to call me today, did not happen.

  • clivemm1947 merv (@clivemm1947) reported

    @virginmedia @chefjames1982 Obviously if you want virgin to get there finger out and help you just put it on Twitter. It took me a 12 month such poor service

  • Anubhav35580718 Anubhav Rana (@Anubhav35580718) reported

    @virginmedia I am definitely not looking to cancel it however I don't have no other choice left

  • marklehmann26 marklehmann26 (@marklehmann26) reported

    @virginmedia our fibre broadband has been terrible all weekend with only 2 hours of actual Internet. Why is it taking so long to fix surely you have alerts in place to notify engineers of a problem and they the go and fix it. Or have you done a #PandO and sacked everyone

  • MikeWalker2012 Mike Walker (@MikeWalker2012) reported from Poole, England

    Happy days @virginmedia is down yet again... No broadband, no telly, no landline! 🤬😤

  • kirst4485 kirsty Gorman (@kirst4485) reported

    @virginmedia any chance your support team can expedite the sky cinema upgrade I added?! Desperately need it for the Oscars tonight 🙏😭

  • meatandpotato Mark Eatock (@meatandpotato) reported

    @virginmedia Could you please advise how we progress with this!?? Your services are not fit for purpose! It simply doesn’t work. I would like to be able to shop around for an alternative provider but don’t see why I should pay any termination fees as you aren’t providing the service??

  • pjbwilson Peter Wilson 🔶 (@pjbwilson) reported

    @virginmedia They were going to monitor my connectivity for 24 hours on Friday. And then never got back to me.

  • hellenicvvitch Bethany Riddle (@hellenicvvitch) reported

    @virginmedia No. The last call was someone telling they couldn’t cancel because we owe more money. We asked for the supervisor and they said they would call back. No one did. All your staff do is string customers along to cheat them out of more money! It’s disgusting!

  • SirFletchPhelps Dave Martin (@SirFletchPhelps) reported

    @Tdr1nka @virginmedia Never had an issues before but this is ******* terrible.
