  • 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!!!!

  • 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...

  • peterat50 peter atkinson #FBPE (@peterat50) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone thinking of dealing with @virginmedia don’t their customer service is woeful . Another hour wasted trying to contact them 😡

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

    Anybody else's @virginmedia Box absolutely **** when changing channels just goes to a black screen or sound or vice versa?

  • 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.

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

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

  • bev_middleton Bev Middleton (@bev_middleton) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia furious that I have been double charged for a bill, then I try to message support and its been over 1 week and nothing done, single parent who already paid the bill is not happy

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Done that.. hence why calling - your website is crap

  • 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?

  • peterat50 peter atkinson #FBPE (@peterat50) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia you are impossible to deal with !! I’ve been trying to contact you since 4/10 to tell you I’m moving can someone please contact me as i don’t have the life force to waste listening to terrible music whilst on hold

  • L88HRS Lee (@L88HRS) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia are there network issues in NE29? My wired connections are working fine but WiFi is having none of it on any of our devices!

  • Dancoat1982 Dan Coates (@Dancoat1982) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia is your broadband down completely in #NE5 any idea when will be working???

  • 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’

  • fionajohnson__ fiona johnson (@fionajohnson__) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia wifi down in NE2 area????

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

    @virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

  • finswimmerjohn1 John Lavender - #Speedowarrior (@finswimmerjohn1) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia We have two VM boxes for collection as we have already left your network. Can you please arrange for someone to disconnect and collect them? Thanks in anticipation.

  • eviekaye Emma van Kooperen (She/Her) (@eviekaye) reported

    @virginmedia We have service now but we have been charged for when we didn't which is contrary to your website!

  • TonyGar14334516 Tony Garner (@TonyGar14334516) reported

    @virginmedia You’ve missed the point. I called to renew an expiring contract after receiving a threat that my cost would increase to £81 per month. I cannot change now because you would charge me for doing so. I was never offered alternatives. This is an obvious marketing ploy.

  • JoeBaguley J8y (@JoeBaguley) reported

    @MichaelCade1 @thecloudxpert I have 4G as a failover at my main home for when the 1Gig Virgin Media link drops out. The 4G is so good that I only know it has failed over by being notified - not by quality of service.

  • liz_c177 jambo sea-king (@liz_c177) reported

    @virginmedia Spoke to someone who was rvery rude

  • chrisjoesbury Chris Joesbury (@chrisjoesbury) reported

    @virginmedia No reference numbers for orders, no hope really that it will be processed by yourselves at this point. Very disillusioned with your service..

  • TunnelVizuals Tunnel Vizuals (@TunnelVizuals) reported

    I am absolutely disgusted at the treatment I am receiving with @virginmedia refusing to help me with my broadband and refusing to put me through to cancellation teams. Just hanging up the phone on me.

  • MartGB_ Mart (@MartGB_) reported

    Lmao Virgin Media email earlier in the week to say they are doing work in the area on the 25th, ok that's fine but then we get an unintended area wide outage on the 26th as a result. Great improvements btw.

  • chrisjoesbury Chris Joesbury (@chrisjoesbury) reported

    @virginmedia Every time I have an issue with your company I end up waiting more and more.. How are you going to resolve this??

  • HStricklandSLT Holly Strickland (@HStricklandSLT) reported

    @virginmedia …or use one of the engineers from the emergency call out team that deal with business accounts. Your customer service has been absolutely shocking and we are appalled!

  • Wilf_Archer wilf archer (@Wilf_Archer) reported

    Virgin Media – are isolating the vulnerable and risking lives by removing landlines to homes with no mobile signal. Vulnerable elderly, disabled or single parents won't be able to be contacted should there be a power cut. #VirginMedia
