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

    Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

  • paulm844 Paul Marshall (@paulm844) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    WHEN MY @virginmedia CONTRACT IS UP IM OFF TO SKY. Enough of this ****.

  • iYogaBody Tatiana M Newton (@iYogaBody) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia it’s simply Disgraceful! As @gmail email user I CAN NOT logging into my own account to check my bill- is it even legal?? After 1 hour of ohone convo with @virginmedia agent my problem is not solved and I’m back in the loop 🔁

  • Jacq_Critch Jacqueline Critchley (@Jacq_Critch) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

  • chrismayes .💙#FBPPR #FBPE You have no authority here johnson (@chrismayes) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hey @virginmedia #DontFundGBNews or i terminate my contract with you.

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Cramlington, England

    @virginmedia why can’t I get through on the phone to cancel my broadband ? I’ve also been in the queue for hours in online Chat, ridiculous customer service

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

    @virginmedia There are no issues in the region apart from your appalling service.

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @panzerfaust81 Any chance we can cancel as your customer service team hang up after waiting an hour on hold? Sick of your dreadful service. Please contact me as this is a joke. Need to leave due to moving home and you make it even harder @Ofcom

  • ITINTERACT2 Rob Turnbull (@ITINTERACT2) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia @ChesnoidGaming Virgin , impossible to call with issues but instant reply on Twitter

  • HebburnCurly Mark Wilson (@HebburnCurly) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hi, can I add a telephone line to the broadband package that I already have? Looked on your webpage and it’s all bundles with no option to add anything to the service I already purchase

  • 1slandmonkey Benjamin Spurling (@1slandmonkey) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can reply since your customer service department have just hung up after waiting an hour to get through. So sick of your terrible customer service hence why i want to leave. #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice #cancellation

  • beyond_vinyl BEYOND VINYL (@beyond_vinyl) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia my phone and broadband is down (#NewcastleUponTyne city centre) we are in a pandemic and I have nothing else to do so need internet!! Any idea when service will be restored??

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

    @virginmedia your WiFi and service is a disgrace. Constant outage, hopeless WiFi range, unreachable "support". And now you're putting my bill up? Utter joke.

  • DavidField1987 David Field CBCI (@DavidField1987) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have had a house love booked for two weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and I’m going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

  • DavidField1987 David Field CBCI (@DavidField1987) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have had a house move booked for 2 weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and now going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

  • chrissielouenid Chrissie (@chrissielouenid) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia poor service strikes again !

  • Andygclark Andy Clark (@Andygclark) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia would like to thank you for your customer service. Over 15 years of money from me. 50% price rise. I would like to leave please. No problem. All booked for you. Good bye. Wish I could afford to treat my customers like that.

  • theboltonlad BLWN (@theboltonlad) reported

    @virginmedia hi guys. Wonder if you can help me. I've got a mobile sim as part of the ultimate oomph. Never used the sim but now lost it. Can you help please 👍👍

  • AloshaCYBlues Alosha𓅓 (@AloshaCYBlues) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, my internet has been down from 10AM this morning. Any idea when it will be fixed? Only installed it last week…

  • ash_arms Ashley Armstrong (@ash_arms) reported

    @virginmedia WHY DO YOU NEVER WORK How do I put an official complaint in? I’m not paying £80 a month for this absolute dross you give us. Will just cancel my direct debit, if you can’t hold up your end of the deal, I’m not holding up mine.

  • OldenGlove Neil Cole (@OldenGlove) reported

    @daveriley12 @virginmedia I resorted to tracking down and contacting the customer services direcor.

  • JWhite_1968 Julie Whitehouse (@JWhite_1968) reported

    @virginmedia May need outside cables replaced so probably a temporary fix. Internet always rubbish but phone back on.

  • GameDevEllie Ellie (@GameDevEllie) reported

    @virginmedia I've been advised that there's planned maintenance tomorrow in my area. Are you able to provide an estimate time and duration of this, please? I work from home and any disruptions to my service prevents me from working

  • DenyseKirk denyse kirk (@DenyseKirk) reported

    @virginmedia I have just spent 30 mins going round in circles trying to sort out various problems I have with my Virgin account to be cut off with no resolution to my issues.Extremely disappointed

  • alexh_00_ Alex (@alexh_00_) reported

    @virginmedia They gave me that reference and told me to sit tight for 2 more DAYS. So I would like to know why my service says everything is awesome on the website, yet clearly you know it isn't. This is costing me money to use 4G to work from home. Where do I send the bill?

  • srsx10 Sophie Sophie (@srsx10) reported

    @virginmedia hello, my remote is broken for my virgin box, how do I get a new one?

  • davidjwbailey David JW Bailey (@davidjwbailey) reported

    @virginmedia marketing is so toxic to loyal customers - new customers get better service, save around £800 over 18 months, get fibre speeds and newer equipment. Loyal for 20 years? They just ignore your letters then put the phone down. @Ofcom
