  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • ThatPhelpsDude Matt Phelps (@ThatPhelpsDude) reported

    @virginmedia The only efficient service you give is at contract renewal. I’m still waiting for an Amazon Prime code to be emailed after I renewed in November. False promises, no call backs and an appalling level of service are whats on offer for your customers.

  • MarcelleOfLlew Marcelle (@MarcelleOfLlew) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been a customer for 10+ years, paying you by DD. Moved house and Virgin not available so had to leave, so you’ve sent me a refund by cheque...during a pandemic when I won’t be attending a bank. Why can’t you simply pay it into my bank please?

  • ColinJudkins Judders (@ColinJudkins) reported

    @virginmedia trying to call 150 but getting an engaged tone. I've started having problems with my router in regards to it dropping WiFi. 2 laptops, my Hive heating and my security cameras are now regularly not able to connect.

  • mariamail1 maria mail (@mariamail1) reported

    @virginmedia Shocking customer service AVOID Cancelled in September, moved out of property but still being charged! 2 hours on the phone, passed from various departments and still not resolved

  • ianrook2 ian rook (@ianrook2) reported

    @virginmedia The internet and I have faster speeds for no reason. I was paying £25 a month and the upgrade which took it to £30. Then I get a bill today for £38?? And I wanted to raise a complaint today and after being on the phone for an hour I asked for a manager. The agent agreed and went

  • ianrook2 ian rook (@ianrook2) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, yeah sure. I have had issues with the internet about a month or 2 now. At first I was just resetting the router and it would work again.. in the last 3 weeks it keeps going off and won’t turn on for about 5-20 minutes. I called up and was advised to upgrade my package to see

  • ianrook2 ian rook (@ianrook2) reported

    @virginmedia If this works. Which it hasn’t.. The person who initially took my call said she would arrange for a new router to be sent to my address and that she would call me back on the Tuesday, which didn’t happen. And I didn’t receive a new router either. So I am still having issues with

  • rubymoreton ℜ𝔲𝔟𝔶 𝔐𝔬𝔯𝔢𝔱𝔬𝔫 (@rubymoreton) reported

    @virginmedia Estimate fix time of 9:30pm. It is constantly an issue in my area as a money supermarket survey has shown and multiple neighbours have constant problems also. Now 5 times my internet has gone off in 50 minutes. Not worth the prices you charge for a constant intermittent service!

  • J16313916 J (@J16313916) reported

    @virginmedia You guys are funny! nOT! No internet again today from around 11am. Same issues yesterday and day before. Ur web says no issues in my area but there clearly is. For a communications company you are doing well to communicate price hikes but not for issues.

  • RichieRich657 Richard Howard (@RichieRich657) reported

    @virginmedia Another month and still unable to sign into my account. I will not put any more effort into sorting your issues. 845038201 is my account number. If no contact in 24 hours I change provider.
