  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @monsterwba1968 @virginmedia Don’t bother they don’t work either... after 6 months of shit internet I got one... still can’t get WiFi upstairs... and I am not in a mansion!

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • WillHowe Will Howe (@WillHowe) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia consistently excellent service and speeds but today has been a real headache, internet going down for ~20mins ever 1hr-1hr30 all day

  • iamchrissharp Chris (@iamchrissharp) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia all I want to do is cancel my tv and phone services and keep broadband but there’s no options to downgrade online only upgrade and I refuse to pay £94 per month

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @spookysquidd @virginmedia Thanks for your input 🙄 I have issues with how bad the customer service is in general. On that note it’s back down... 😴😴😴😴

  • TonyYoull TY I 92 (@TonyYoull) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Shouting at Virgin Media on the internet work fix the problem. Pass it on

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @DavidAHSleath @virginmedia Me and you must of spoken with the same ‘fabulous customer service’ shame it’s my only option where I am ... although dial up maybe easier! 🤣🤣🤣

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia what has happened with the service in ne33 4hn area as I have no phone line no internet and no tv service

  • MarcusRoberts13 Marc (@MarcusRoberts13) reported from Morpeth, England

    @robhinds @mark395625 @virginmedia It’s always baffled me how existing customers don’t get decent deals when you’re showing loyalty by staying with them. It’s the same with all utilities and when they say you have to CALL to cancel it turns into a nightmare

  • Dyl_Atkinson Dylan Atkinson (@Dyl_Atkinson) reported from Washington, England

    Virgin media are not stupid like give everyone 10GB free data then nock everyone’s WiFi off so they go over there allowances😂

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia .... 0420 and still no service 😡😡😡😡😡

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @DavidAHSleath @virginmedia I love the customer service when they just end the call half way through trying ‘to help’ I once spent 5 hours back and forwards with the every part of the business... engineers... blah blah blah... still was no better! Until I managed to get through to Scotland! 👍🏼

  • MatthewEmmer Matthew Emmerson (@MatthewEmmer) reported from Gateshead, England

    Can’t continue to work remotely from for the NHS if this #virginmedia issue is on-going 😭

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia three times since I first reported that I was having problems with all my services and it has gone down again

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @spookysquidd @virginmedia Do let me know how your customer experience is when the shit hits the fan for you... when you have been a loyal customer for 14 years! 🙌🏼

  • Earlosnicho Earl Nicholson (@Earlosnicho) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia @MTVMusicUK Wish your customer services staff could answers customers and solve issues as much or as quick as you advertise on social media #poorservice #buffer #noconnection #groundhogday

  • vitosauras Helen #RacingForAnthoine🇧🇪 (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    Hi @virginmedia sort the Internet issues out in NE10 please that's twice my connection has dropped in the last hour

  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia every month I have the same issue. Go to pay bill and despite having Google auto password (which works on every other thing I log in) it says my log in is wrong and I have to reset it EVERY MONTH!! EVERY MONTH!! IT'S RIDICULOUS

  • RichardGreenla1 Richard Greenland (@RichardGreenla1) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia do you have an ETA for when the broadband problem in the da15 area will be fixed please. The incident has been ongoing for days now and really is unacceptable (especially given I have just received an email about more price increases!)

  • toutijan touti (@toutijan) reported

    @virginmedia #virginmedia I called before twitting but no correct answer was given. Please let me know why the broadband is sooooooooooo slow since last week?

  • apathetic_nerd Apathetic Nerd (@apathetic_nerd) reported

    @VMO2News @O2 @virginmedia You will be getting me as a new customer.

  • RawleyChirs Chirs Rawley (@RawleyChirs) reported

    @virginmedia No, nothing resolved. As predicted. I'm still in an online queue but no-one will respond. Farce. I don't have the words to describe how bad @virginmedia is.

  • CarrieaMitchell Carrie A. Mitchell (@CarrieaMitchell) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently there is a broadband outage here in NW3 and your update said it won’t be fixed until 21:00 - that can’t be right?!

  • StephanieCC11 StephanieCC (@StephanieCC11) reported

    @virginmedia could you please add a link to your website that tells customers how to get in touch regarding a deceased customer? No facility to search. No obvious option to phone or email? Its not very helpful. Would appreciate contact details please.

  • TimWardCam Tim Ward #FBPE 🔶⭐ (@TimWardCam) reported

    @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 #brexshit fail! There was scope here for so many more lives to be ****** up, if only in a small way! Must Try Harder.

  • Old_Smudger Martyn (@Old_Smudger) reported

    @Richard_K_P @OldBlueyes @virginmedia That’s unfair quoting facts people 😜 I had the TV outage. It was during the day and could easily use Freeview until it came back. WiFi was fine. Since VM/O2 merger I’ve had my mobile data doubled and broadband increased to 350 from 200 - for free! Roaming announcement also 👍👍

  • jesperg29 jesperg29🇩🇰🇬🇧 (@jesperg29) reported

    @NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 This is untrue. And the move bu Virgin etc., is a packaging issue. Similar to the fact that for £8 extra a month I have free roaming in Brazil, US and Australia.
