  • neosalad neosalad (@neosalad) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Nice one @virginmedia I've missed all the 2nd half of the match now. No BB, no Tivo. And your still billing me a higher rate than was agreed when I did the tests which say no issues in my area. Tried resets.

  • Wardixo Jonathon Ward (@Wardixo) reported from South Shields, England

    Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

  • barbarafoggo Barbara Foggo (@barbarafoggo) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Wow @virginmedia amazingly poor customer services on many levels. Not your best moment @richardbranson

  • trisgallagher Hot Acid Rhythms (@trisgallagher) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Every single day for the last week my router just turns itself off and starts to update or drops out completely. Paying a lot of money for this service and it just isn’t good enough.

  • ktowers74 Karen Towers (@ktowers74) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my internet isn't working in NE25, are you having issues in this area 😥

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia This lithium service you use is to get people off social media. It obfuscates and is unable to resolve anything. I'll take my chance in the legal system and with independent ombudsman.

  • panicdragon8779 John Brunton (@panicdragon8779) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia No problem

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your shit broadband and tv service is down again for the third time this week and it’s only Tuesday WTF do I pay you for! I bet I don’t see a refund for what you don’t deliver 😡

  • panicdragon8779 John Brunton (@panicdragon8779) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Think I have but any more problems I will give you a yell

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

    Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

  • neosalad neosalad (@neosalad) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @SundSaeed @virginmedia Engineer booked for Tuesday. Not happy. No football! No @carltonkirby #homeofcycling AND NO xbox @GearsofWar times on Saturday NIGHT. TESTS SAY NO Issues. But there is issues. #NE6

  • TaylorBurgen93 Taylor (@TaylorBurgen93) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia your customer service team is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard! Routers not working switch off then back on... it’s broken I can book an engineer for Saturday....

  • godisageordie andy kindred (@godisageordie) reported from Gateshead, England

    @neeta68 @virginmedia Worst customer service I have encountered is with Virgin media and mobile , needless to say I am no longer one of their customers, good luck

  • neeta68 Anita Whelan (@neeta68) reported from Gateshead, England

    16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Worst customer service from any broadband company. Avoid like the plague.

  • lalunatic michael lamb (@lalunatic) reported from Sunderland, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia Worst company going

  • greav41 Paul Greaves (@greav41) reported from Gateshead, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia Ended up removing them from our lives due to atrocious (being generous here) customer service. Even now they are threatening £130 charge due to them not sending out the box return kit.

  • ozwaldo1985 Craig Osborne (@ozwaldo1985) reported from Wallsend, England

    @LouisRoss67 Virgin Media box up to 2 and a half minutes tonight, switched to Apple TV and I’m down to about 20 seconds

  • LizTuition Liz Little (@LizTuition) reported

    @LordFoxx75 @virginmedia I'm in M14 too. On my @virginmedia account it says they 'hope' to fix it by 11.45pm!

  • LeeRecioy Lee Recioy 🇪🇸 (@LeeRecioy) reported

    @Tiffanylouiseex @virginmedia Yeah I run a business and trade from home and sometimes it can be a complete nightmare, realistically though they won’t be able to do anything remotely 9 times out of 10 and you just have to wait for an engineer. Worst part is the “have you tried turning it off and on”

  • Tiffanylouiseex Tiff💫 (@Tiffanylouiseex) reported

    @LeeRecioy @virginmedia It’s so stressful! Especially because i work from home. Having to have time off when they have ‘issues’

  • adhamaloka adham (@adhamaloka) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately, Virgin customer service is helpless. I am not being serviced, I am being punished. I don't have another provider to go to. Virgin is the only provider for high speed internet in my area. I will switch away from Virgin as soon as there is another provider.

  • 110218_fle4gle 110218 (@110218_fle4gle) reported

    @virginmedia I have already wasted since 1640 waiting and failing to deal with you. I have raised another complaint ovwr the phone and will do so daily until the long lost managers are uncovered and return the promised phone 📞 calls.

  • V8PJL Paul (@V8PJL) reported

    @liamdfreeman @virginmedia That’s shocking. I’d be calling up, asking for a cancellation and making an official complaint on that!

  • JuliaMo77954557 Julia Morales (@JuliaMo77954557) reported

    @virginmedia I need to discuss cancelling my account. I'm moving house and you don't cover my new area. I need to give 30 days notice. I keep replying on WhatsApp to say I still need help and I get a message back saying I'll be transfered to an agent. Day 4 of that now!!

  • KennysKids Kenny's Kids (@KennysKids) reported

    @lukeisabrennan They'll say they're providing a service for their huge audience of Irish people supporting English clubs. If it was Virgin Media doing this I'd get it, but RTE as our license fee funded national broadcaster shouldn't be doing this and should be doing way more in terms of the LOI.

  • TheShakes72 รɦคᛕﻉร (@TheShakes72) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks - however, that happened and you just can't match new customer deals elsewhere. Perhaps, in 18 months, I may be a 'new' customer once again! I have signed up with BT who have full fibre in our area.

  • Epicunbuffed Jack (@Epicunbuffed) reported

    @virginmedia you’re awful
