  • alistairoates alistair oates (@alistairoates) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Please if you’re providing a terrible internet service don’t use the phase, ‘Oops. Our bad’

  • 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.

  • 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

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hahahaha talk about bullshit - had to change to sky because of your **** service

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia amazing concept of telling people who have no Internet at home to log onto an Internet chat room to get help with getting their Internet back, do I get a refund for the data used to tether my laptop just to get access to customer service?

  • Scotttate1990 Scott Tate (@Scotttate1990) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia issues with WiFi signal NE32 area. Been off and on all night, no known issues on website

  • schizoid007 John Lacey (@schizoid007) reported from Gateshead, England

    Can't wait till my contract is up with @virginmedia to move back to @skytv probably the worst TV experience I've ever had. Horrendous hardware, UI and Operating System

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia great customer service tactics, tell people theres going to be a long hold time, when they get to an hour on hold just hang up on them because they clearly don't need Internet any time soon...

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia After 2 hours on hold I got through to a nice guy in the call centre, he couldn't work out the issue so I've got no Internet for 2 days until an engineer comes out. Love paying for services I don't get...

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No but I have now dealt with it via your customer services and asked to remove my mam from virgin sales list. Thanks

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Baddoo Christopher Baddoo (@Baddoo) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any network issues in Newcastle upon Tyne? Our internet is down and can’t get through

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia Hi...obv you have taken notice of my post re cancelling contract of one of your ex subs.Its Law!! Re my service..i'm wired from reuter to pc & tv then wifi to mobile & tablet obv...im happy with virgin tv but bband signal pc & wifi altho "50mbs" is slow ...NOT good enough!

  • 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!

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia, you've text me a link after your phone robot tested my equipment, the link doesn't work. This has been on going for 3 to 4 weeks. I've been paying for a service I've not been receiving. I need to speak to an actual person!!!!

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia are you going to respond or do you just pick and chose? This is disgusting service. Over 70 quid a month for half a service!!!!!! Cancellation in Feb when my contract Is due at this rate.

    @virginmedia Thankyou I’ve done that hopefully they fix it 🙏🏻

  • Pandao771 Pandao77 (@Pandao771) reported

    @SidMooreManc @virginmedia I have problems with Netflix too

  • martinjbarrett martin barrett (@martinjbarrett) reported

    Hi @virginmedia you sent a letter to say there was an outage in my area tomorrow and offered me a temp modem that was due to arrive today. I work from home so need to be online first thing. Can you help please?

  • mileine_ward Mileine Ward (@mileine_ward) reported

    @virginmedia why is the wifi down.

  • TheDailyScrum Allan McPike (@TheDailyScrum) reported from Glasgow, Scotland

    @virginmedia I did, that was their reply. Waiting on a supervisor calling back. Telling your customers to switch to low resolution and low sound quality seems to be the answer.

  • TunnelmeelmoTV Jacob (@TunnelmeelmoTV) reported

    @virginmedia been 4 days now with internet going on and off. Now its been off for an hour. This is the service I pay for?

  • singdons DG (@singdons) reported

    @virginmedia Hi VM. When is some form of resolution likely? It's been seven weeks now since the street littering by your engineer.. what has your investigation uncovered?

  • LeeDiggens Lee Diggens (@LeeDiggens) reported

    @virginmedia what an absolute shambles and shocking 1st impression. Installation incomplete, rude unhelpful call centre with no ability to offer tech support and no internal communication of issues. Should have stayed with @skytv

  • ThatGuyRichAFC ThatGuyRich (@ThatGuyRichAFC) reported

    @rayanrac @virginmedia Same issue here. Never had issues like this at my old house and now here in my new one we've had nothing but issues. Might be time for a provider switch.

  • dankodalma Dalma (@dankodalma) reported

    @SidMooreManc @virginmedia I have problem as well, I am on Sky
