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

    @virginmedia Thanks for your continued support. All’s clear today - and your colleague on the phone said they would monitor the situation and let us know if anything needed to be done. Lots of examples of this happening online. Putting it down to just being another victim.

  • 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.

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It was for my internet and TV account. I've managed to do it on my housemates app as they had no issues with the app.

  • bigpinkdressgnr BIG PINK DRESS (@bigpinkdressgnr) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Your customer service was the worst ever One guy actually shouted at us Your TV never worked your internet went off at night We constantly had to reboot All while paying you a small fortune So no we won't be returning

  • piggypics Les(piggypics)Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Yes says no issues but read a few forum say virgin media are aware of it but not interested in fixing it.

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

    It seems our landline number has been spoofed - have received dozens of calls responding to a request to call back. Have reported this to a helpful @virginmedia, but finding out ‘advice’ online pretty useless. Sit and wait it out seems to be the solution.

  • bruceallinson Bruce Allinson (@bruceallinson) reported from Gateshead, England

    @SkyUK Thanks but you charge way too much especially for BT Sport (can’t do without my Moto GP) I might go back to BT Vision, they are rubbish with broadband dropping out as well but not as shit as @virginmedia has been

  • LisaSmythe_RNA Lisa (@LisaSmythe_RNA) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia please sort out the internet! I’ve ran out of mobile date because the WiFi is terrible!

  • haydencohen Hayden Cohen (@haydencohen) reported

    .@virginmedia please can you explain why there have been continual broadband issues over the past few weeks. My wife and I mostly work from home and this is starting to create massive hassles for us.

  • s0x Al (@s0x) reported

    @virginmedia I didn't see the end of the contract letter because I'm on paperless bills and it's hidden away in the depths of My Virgin Media. Only reason I saw it today is because there's a new link to contract details and I saw the drop down option on there. Will call team when I can.

  • Pxntagon Adrian (@Pxntagon) reported

    Virginmedia down again fml

  • JonnyTelba Jønny (@JonnyTelba) reported

    @liamdfreeman @virginmedia If I needed a reason NOT to go with Virgin Media here it is… disgraceful customer service.

  • stepib Stefan Bocutiu (@stepib) reported

    @virginmedia Sure i can, but for the last week the service drops constantly. Now for example I have to use my phone data plan to write this. I have meetings and work to do, and i have to rely on my phone data. Do you think this is great service and I am being charged full price?!

  • Saq0fficial Saq (@Saq0fficial) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia Considering I will be without any Internet for almost 6 days, does Virgin media provide a WiFi dongle to ensure its customers can continue to work from home? This is a service offered by BT so I would have expected to have received the same service.

  • Zach_Newman19 Zach Newman (@Zach_Newman19) reported

    @virginmedia your wifi if terrible. Connection keeps dropping every half an hour! Yet when checking for issues in my area it says there is no issues.

  • osandothers 👑Oba’s game🕹 (@osandothers) reported

    @virginmedia Your service is just terrible. Doesn’t serve the whole house properly and it’s progressively getting worse

  • daniwalker93 Danielle Walker (@daniwalker93) reported

    @virginmedia imagine talking 2 customer services, complaints to be put back through to customer services, who disconnected the line, to call back for customer service to tell me there is no complaints team. Jesus christ. Easily the worst customer service I've EVER experienced.

  • kimturner70 Kimberley Turner (@kimturner70) reported

    @virginmedia I’m in a Tribunal hearing online and your ****** internet service just failed again. This is not at all acceptable 😡
