  • kirsty_ferry Kirsty Ferry (@kirsty_ferry) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia hi how do i book an engineer via the app? Service status on broadband and equipment all check out. No connection to devices. Impossible to speak to someone on phone with almost an hour on hold. Can't see how to book appt online yet apparently it's possible? Thanks.

  • grahamtebbutt grahamtebbutt (@grahamtebbutt) reported from Gateshead, England

    @ComradeMorden @virginmedia I’ll join you Simon in this nightmare of trying to get a connection, I’ve only just realised it isn’t just us that have a problem in NE9. It seems very intermittent

  • AdamOnCaffeine Chilli Vanilli (@AdamOnCaffeine) reported from South Shields, England

    Can anyone at @virginmedia virgin media tell me why the internet drops out every time it rains? The technicians only want to diagnose a fault on the line to the house and they never seem to be out when it's also raining. It's very frustrating.

  • Deggsytweets Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England

    Anyone else in Sunderland having intermittent problems with @virginmedia broadband? It’s been up & down for ages but it’s getting worse!!

  • paddyrat Paddy R (@paddyrat) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Please help me with this. I tried webchat on your ‘help’ site but didn’t get a reply. I’d written out the whole issue. Everything is always so hard with you guys 😢😤

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @DonBaldini @virginmedia Not good enough VM, I’m paying you nearly £1000 a year for absolutely terrible service. Other providers exist ...!

  • fi_smth fi ✨ (@fi_smth) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    as if @virginmedia have a £172 cancel or transfer fee ?? even in student housing ?? where tenants change yearly ??? seems like a big scam to me

  • allymcgeorge A. D. G. McGeorge (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi been on hold to change package too long, online switch hasn't been working for weeks, online chat doesn't work. It's almost like you are putting deliberate barriers up

  • hellsbells610 Hells Bells 🐶 (@hellsbells610) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia is there an issue with broadband in the Gateshead area? Mine has been off for over hour and the green light is flashing on he broadband box.

  • HBP_Surgery_CHS Ben Banerjee (@HBP_Surgery_CHS) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia can someone help with getting a broadband booster

    @virginmedia Tried all that many times waste of my life man funnily enough got through to your sales team in seconds soon as they found out I was an existing customer put me on hold for hours You must be very proud of yourselves at Virgin Media

  • trebortlav Rob Valt (@trebortlav) reported

    @virginmedia Really? I had 4Mbps download speed most of this week. The Virgin automated system could@detect no issue, and impossible to get to talk to anyone. Yes I did reboot the hub, several times. I find Virgin Media adverts annoying as rarely deliver on the promise

  • pribeiro2010 Paulo R (@pribeiro2010) reported

    @virginmedia Hi can you tell me i have no tv no phone no internet in Ls28 since last night why whats the porblem?? Maybe next mounth you need a account discount for the hours or day without the service not happy

  • castusthered I NeedADream-Y1choir (@castusthered) reported from Nottinghamshire, England

    @Gordonturner3 @virginmedia Where did you get this from? Any link? Our WiFi is terrible in NG3

  • JohnHC86 John C (@JohnHC86) reported

    Despite providing @virginmedia my direct debit info in November and paying hundreds of pounds in the form of a deposit, they've decided that because THEY failed to set up the account change in time, I will now have my services restricted. WTF?

  • BrianCol2021 Brian Colman (@BrianCol2021) reported

    @virginmedia Appalling customer service, I have been strung along for weeks for missed SNR’s. Yet another one missed yesterday. But of course no reduction in my bill!

  • kade_garl Kade Garlington (@kade_garl) reported

    @virginmedia your wifi is ******* **** stop lying to people

  • Ninja_Nay Nathan Leech (@Ninja_Nay) reported

    Made a complaint to @virginmedia for over charging me for my mobile, told them I’ve got statements to show it and they’ve said they can’t find anything wrong, cheers mate

  • ewenglass Ewen Glass (@ewenglass) reported

    @virginmedia it’s been a week and still the issue with the TV service (On Demand, anything online) in the area hasn’t been fixed. You don’t charge an insubstantial amount and this isn’t what we pay for.
