    @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

    @virginmedia Wish virginmedia could do something about all the scam calls, I am an virginmedia customer and we are receiving. Had about 30 scam calls just this last week.

  • 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.

  • Andygclark Andy Clark (@Andygclark) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia would like to thank you for your customer service. Over 15 years of money from me. 50% price rise. I would like to leave please. No problem. All booked for you. Good bye. Wish I could afford to treat my customers like that.

  • 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

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

  • nufcscott1968 graham scott (@nufcscott1968) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia is there an outage on the network? Can't make calls and no data connection?

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • SophieAnneUK SOPHIE ✞ (@SophieAnneUK) reported

    I've just renewed my contract with bt but then last night decided to purchased a virgin media black friday deal (the download/upload was too juicy) Am I making a mistake if I cancel with bt? I've never really had issues with them

  • Lucie1980 Lucie Perryman (@Lucie1980) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and it says there’s no issues.

  • JamieThin_Ed Jamie Thin (@JamieThin_Ed) reported

    @virginmedia My 88-year old father has been targeted by mis-selling and is now being charged for an expensive 5G SIM that he doesn’t want and can’t use as he doesn’t have a mobile phone! - extra charge silently added to his direct debit with no authority from customer! And no way to cancel!

  • JoshuaHepple Josh Hepple (@JoshuaHepple) reported

    @virginmedia The text number is never acknowledged. I’ve been waiting on responses on that while my contract rolled over. I am gravely disappointed by this discriminatory practice

  • BeckyPage Becky (@BeckyPage) reported

    @virginmedia is there a problem with your lines? We have tried to call 4 times and every time we get through and start speaking to someone it cuts off!!!!

  • CraigJThomson69 Dr Craig Thomson (@CraigJThomson69) reported

    @virginmedia Hi John. TV still glitching this morning. My Virgin still saying there's a problem in my area. No update on when it's being fixed.

  • Echo_Cafe Echo Cafe (@Echo_Cafe) reported

    @RolexTharsus @virginmedia Thanks! VirginMedia, via the NextDoor Community website I've heard of several more customers with issues in the EH3 Edinburgh area. There is clearly a problem more generally, ongoing for past 2 weeks, which needs fixed - not specific to individual users.

  • Lucie1980 Lucie Perryman (@Lucie1980) reported

    @virginmedia It says that my broadband will be down until 3. A 6 hour outage that suspiciously happened at the same time as local works which we weren’t informed would impact is.

  • BeckyPage Becky (@BeckyPage) reported

    @vmbusiness our company has had a fault for almost 2 weeks, nobody has come to fix it, every time we call it cuts off and no online chat!

  • MadameNottm Ms Varney (@MadameNottm) reported

    Panicking this am, trying to re-boot the router, swearing at the pc, asking it to connect,generally swearing and frightening the cats. In desperation I ring Virgin media thinking I’m not doing something right and/or am stupid. It’s not me. It’s down until 3pm. #ThankDawkins
