    Things that have happened in the time it takes for @virginmedia to resolve a complaint. #Royalbaby has been born, #Liverpool beat Barca, Maya got caught on #Emmerdale, #iran have threatened to change their #nucleardear. #virginmediasaga

  • 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

  • gilly562 Gill Anderson (@gilly562) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia no virgin mobile service, can’t make calls, can’t text or receive. No 4G. Been like this for an hour!! PLEASE CAN SOMEONE AT VIRGIN RESPOND!!! Lots of unhappy customers

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia I am sick of contacting yourselves regarding it. Your company does not seem to know which department I need to speak to. One minute It's customer care, then movers, then disconnections, who pass me back to customer care. #notaclue #virginmediasaga

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

    @virginmedia is your broadband down in this postcode NE261AG plz

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia no just have to put password and email address in. The green tick appear then keeps saying sign in

  • 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

    @virginmedia We asked at the time of there was any money outstanding and we were told no. We were never told it takes 30 days to cancel. Again poor service from yourselves. I don't have the complaint number no as your staff keep hanging up

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia i tried google and doesnt work.

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

    @virginmedia So another tonight wasted last night on the phone to all your departments and still no resolution. Still trying to make me pay your staff's mistakes. #virginmediasaga #thieves

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

    @virginmedia Cancelled the account on 28th or 29th March. Was told by one of your staff members that the service would be cancelled immediately and that #virginmedia owed us just over £70. She also cancelled the direct debit, agreed to send a cheque for the balance to an alternative address

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • debbinhapinto Debbinha (@debbinhapinto) reported

    @virginmedia Still down since yesterday morning. It was meant to be fixed by 8am today but now it says 18:00. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

  • NeilHailwood Neil Hailwood (@NeilHailwood) reported

    @virginmedia During the renovations the wires were taken out so all needs replacing.. as the booking was done via a @virginmedia bot and the guy who turned up was good but said it was only a service booking so did some wiring but booked another appointment for 24th December. Please help,😳

  • _YorkshireLass_ Gemma 💕 (@_YorkshireLass_) reported

    @notfunnymatthew @virginmedia We changed to Virgin business and had nothing but problems, my husbands job is all online it was a nightmare. We signed up with Vodafone and its been brilliant worth having to pay out of the virgin contract we only used for 3 months and their customer service is rubbish too!!

  • rebeldesignstu1 rebeldesignstudio (@rebeldesignstu1) reported

    @virginmedia so I'm glad I'm not the only one. Whatever you do, don't ever sign up with Virgin. 2 days now with no broadband or TV. Can't speak to a human on the phone, just keep getting a stupid recorded message saying the issue is being fixed and it never is.

  • mdowman Michael Dowman (@mdowman) reported

    @virginmedia @NetflixUK Customer service will be worse than yesterday!?

  • HJMKent Howard Martin 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@HJMKent) reported

    @magneticsparrow @virginmedia Now I'll get another Tweet saying "we're sorry you feel like that Howard - send us some details about the problem - we're here to help!" Always from someone different - never from someone who I've had contact with before! Rinse & repeat!

  • PatWalton10 Pat Walton (@PatWalton10) reported

    @DrHoenderkamp @virginmedia Large corporations do not serve their customer base, but their bottom line. The bigger they get the worse the end result is for its customers. Everything has become hands off and any need to speak to a human being is met with lengthy and costly waits.

  • lorrainehaywar7 lorraine hayward (@lorrainehaywar7) reported

    Virgin media what is going on. 5 days without some services 3 days since my email in which you answered you were sorting the problem. Since then no update and no change. Paying for something I’m not getting

  • Archtech_design steven jackson (@Archtech_design) reported

    @virginmedia See my tweets! Regarding service or lack of it, none of my devices are connecting to the internet! TV’s, phones, pc’s, tablets, nothing. Rather than asking questions have I checked? Just get this sorted out! Do you find 5 days acceptable? BB4 6AT area if your interested!

  • happyhappyems Emma Lashmar (@happyhappyems) reported

    @virginmedia @Cutler69 You’ll be waiting months for an install, I’ve been waiting months for new cables to be pulled as I’m not getting the service I’m paying for! They just keep rescheduling the appointment and offer no compensation. It’s getting ridiculous and very frustrating.
