    @virginmedia So I expected a call today before 12pm from business team I also logged a call back on the website for one of the team to call me before 12pm. Engineer on Friday said someone would call in the morning it’s now just gone after 12 and I am still waiting? This is poor?!

  • jwilko_87 Jonathan Wilkinson (@jwilko_87) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your internet service in Gateshead for the last few days has been terrible. Keep losing connection here 🙄

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    First day as a @vmbusiness customer and been waiting nearly 13 hours for a delivery, that hasn’t arrived… #greatstart #herewego

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I’ve sorted the problem I think. Or maybe until the next time it goes off. I’ve disconnected coax cable etc and blew them clean and tightened them back up and done a speed test and it’s up to 365mb download speed. Hopefully this has fixed problem

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia yet again my internet down.

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Sort my order out please.Due on Monday, not delivered.6 calls Tuesday & Wednesday,told it would be here today, yet Yodel tracking shows they haven’t got it from you.1st week as a @virginmedia customer 😡. Worst of all handlers have made me feel like it’s my problem #woefulservice

  • KirstyRockett Kirsty Rockett (@KirstyRockett) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia my 80 year old mother is in ill health, in June I helped her online cancel paper bills, since this time we have done this another 2 times,Mam has tried to call no answer after 45 on hold,Ive just tried to email with the address on rear of bill, it doesn’t work.

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @Barrymore_Jones @virginmedia Mine has been ok until about 2 weeks ago mate and now it keeps turning itself off for no reason. And then I get slow speeds. Usually in the 300,s mate

  • SandyMcWatson Sandy 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇪🇺🌍☮️ (@SandyMcWatson) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Yes. There is a known issue in my area but no "explanation". It's states the fix estimate is 3pm. That's almost a whole day's salary.

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    Ha ha @virginmedia it’s gone off again. This is twice since dinner time where it’s just randomly turned itself off. #annoying and yes it’s saying there’s nothing wrong with the service in my area. So why does it turn itself off ffs

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    Please be aware everyone when you get a inbox from virgin media. I got one yesterday asking about my account and asking me to send my card details and card holder name and security number to verify the account. It wasn’t virgin media but a scam. Because my internet was down. Scum

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia And it has just cut out again and your bot via the number above just said restart the router and put the phone down on me. Slightly concerned that it lasted 5 days again and decided to come back to disconnecting?

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Should that not be your job to check and then tell me the answer. You havnt really solved the problem by telling me to check my area. You should know if there’s any problems where ever they may be

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I will call, again and again. Would be nice if you called me tbh. I’ll escalate or just cancel and go to another provider

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I know that but we are paying for the fastest speed and when it eventually works we don’t get nowhere near that speed. Considering how many times I have to reset the router we don’t get a full service. Just wanted it sorting out

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia No. A problem with order of some description.

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia It says there’s no issues in my area. So why does my internet keep going off. If it works it’s very rarely high or if it is it’s only for a short time. Then goes off and gives low readings. I’ve reset it and unplugged it from mains etc and still it’s on and off. Annoying

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia I called and the service I received was unbelievably poor. My first experience as a Virgin customer. Considering cancellation now.

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia is broadband services down. My internet has been intermittent for the last week. Reset router 3 times today and still not working properly. Download speed is 1mb. Usually 380 mb

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Waiting for delivery of hub equipment to start using internet.Due Monday & it’s still not here. 1st week as a Virgin customer. Made 6 calls bounced from person to person,made to feel like it’s my fault! Spoken to Yodel & tracking details show they haven’t received it from Virgin

    @virginmedia I’ve had no signal or internet for over four days now in leeds? And you have like 0 ways of contacting you? You realised you are in a contract with me right and have to actually provide a service?

  • CJ60349366 CJ (@CJ60349366) reported

    @virginmedia truly and utterly disappointed with you as a whole, you’ve not only stole my money your customer service support is utterly shocking! Buck your ideas up and be the company you claim to be! Maybe @elonmusk should buy you out as he’d know what to do

  • MarkStanford05 Mark Stanford (@MarkStanford05) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I the SD/HD version of @skytv Code 404 is unavailable on catchup could you please help.

  • JoeJackson1989 Joe Jackson (@JoeJackson1989) reported

    @virginmedia I seem to have the same issue as most people not having WiFi on my hub 3. Wired connections work & the network is showing on WiFi list but does not connect. The link sent just keeps counting the hours down & saying there’s still an issue. It’s been 10hrs now

  • KandyJane Katy Jane G (@KandyJane) reported

    @virginmedia why is your website the worst to use ? So many bugs .. links that don’t work… you’re supposed to be pioneers of all things tech… but you can’t even make a website that works effectively on a mobile device ?????

  • ReallyRachyRits Rachel Ritson (@ReallyRachyRits) reported

    @FWHLines @virginmedia It’s been a lot longer than 5 days now, I haven’t had any more problems and I haven’t had the message again.

  • davetheyogi David Lefebvre Sell (@davetheyogi) reported

    @virginmedia so for the second time in just a few days my internet is down. I have had more interruptions to my service this summer than in 5 years before, all without any compensation.

  • g4j4s4 Greg Scott (@g4j4s4) reported

    @virginmedia It’s still not working a full day now #pathetic

  • Hawko1878 Hawko (@Hawko1878) reported

    Ever since @virginmedia “improved” the service in our area, it’s been ******* shocking!!! Waste of money!!!

  • redsabre69 Tony (@redsabre69) reported
