  @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

  @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

  @virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

• 
  LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 18 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  @virginmedia We’ve never received a reply and no out of office. My wife has sent a chase last night. Feel really let down by @virginmedia #LetDown #PoorCustomerExperience

  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 31 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

  Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported 42 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….

• 
  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 43 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

  Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported 45 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

• 
  Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported 51 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  The Geordie Villan (@geordievillan1) reported 52 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  3rd dayin a row on hold to @virginmedia to cancel my TV package and again its over 45mins no answer. Shocking customer service like.

  David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 56 minutes ago from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

  @virginmedia I know my line is spoofed, when an incoming call from a foreign country is giving out I’m not wrong number as I’m being spoofed I am technically aware of this I used to provide support for a very large telecommunications company

• 
  EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported 57 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

  Dan (@KibbyDan) reported 7 minutes ago

  @IanLythgoe4 @virginmedia Why would you have to pay for it? It’s their issue? I still have no tv and I want an engineer to come and sort it because it’s ridiculous now. Im not paying anything. 5 days we have been without tv.

• 
  Jeremy Burrows (@JezDons) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia my tv & broadband services are down in the DN6 7 area of Doncaster. Is there an outage?

  Uilleam Cameron 🏉 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 (@youlum) reported 9 minutes ago

  @Cryptic_Giraffe @BladeoftheS Hence my comment about a cheaper Starlink, which I’m sure I read is now on offer? And why is it cheaper in some of Europe? Subsidised service? Monopoly? I’ve CityFibre and Open Reach in my street and my provider is VirginMedia (I thought they had their own fibre?)

• 
  George Homilton (@georgehomiltonx) reported 11 minutes ago

  @Benleo @virginmedia After multiple calls to their call centres in recent months I have come to the conclusion that their agents run a competition to see who can get a customer the angriest and an award is given at the end of the month.

  Richard Loach (@rl1602) reported 21 minutes ago from Gedling District, England

  @Benleo @virginmedia They ruined my Christmas in 2023. Whole day on phone sorting issues with father in laws broadband then 2 site visits ending up with me throwing my vape at TV and a bill for £1000. Horrendous company

  @virginmedia @Benleo Said they'd send a new box due to fault. Never arrived. Couldn't find a trace of the call! Then said expect an engineer call that never happened. Don't take out contracts with them!!

• 
  Kai Monroe Ⓥ🌱🌏✌️💙 (@KaiMonroe5) reported 24 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @Benleo I had VM for about 12 years and couldn`t fault the service. I only left because I got a cheaper provider who are okay. I will be returning to VM once my contract is up though.

  @jomickane @Benleo @virginmedia I've always found them to be really good, been with them years, never a problem, broadband connection is great - we're high usage, and this year they even emailed me to let me know they were keeping my existing discount when my contract was up, I usually renegotiate each time
