  • 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 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

  • 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 🔁

    @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??

  • 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

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

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

  • 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 !

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 🙏

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

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

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • nufcscott1968 graham scott (@nufcscott1968) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia is there an outage on the network? Can't make calls and no data connection?

  • Vanessajohno Vanessa Johnstone (@Vanessajohno) reported

    @virginmedia Your company is totally incompetent. Most of your front facing team members are very pleasant but their hands are tied and they can’t help. I work from home, my husband runs a business from home and we have 3 children who need WiFi. I pay for a service which has never worked 😡

  • GillianBower Gillian Bower (@GillianBower) reported

    @virginmedia Endless issues but the final straw being unable to access an email address we've had for over 10 years so to contact Talk Talk. You've 2 account numbers setup against our landline number and apparently that's our fault too.

  • whitebearYT_ whitebear (@whitebearYT_) reported

    @virginmedia Not a clue which package we're on, but the speed is normally 600 down and 40 up. I'm guessing the decrease in speed is likely because of more people being at home over christmas.

  • Unknown44057350 Unknown (@Unknown44057350) reported

    @virginmedia Issue is for all scheduled episodes but this wasn’t t an issue till about 2 months ago thanks

  • johnnyhammer5 John (@johnnyhammer5) reported

    @virginmedia What is the point of you, personally? What is the actual purpose of your job? Surely Virgin could just replace you with a bot to auto-reply to everyone with: “Sorry you have had a bad experience, but that’s just the way it is, call 0345 454 1111 to waste some more time.”.

  • xSophiePaigex Sophie Guest (@xSophiePaigex) reported

    Terrible service from @virginmedia we have had no internet since the early hours of Monday morning and a technician can’t come out until after the hew year! It’s the Christmas holidays! Why am I paying for a service that doesn’t work! 😡

  • johnnyhammer5 John (@johnnyhammer5) reported

    @virginmedia *hint: good UX would be an additional drop down box ‘which of your accounts do you want to interact upon today?” Simple, isn’t it.

  • CarolBi12560434 Carol Birch (@CarolBi12560434) reported

    @virginmedia I have contacted you multiple times as you keep taking our hard earned money every month bur do not provide the 350mb we pay for ! I've currently been on hold for the 8th time in the last 8 weeks for you to fumble for an excuse with no solution to rectify this !!

  • isthatrigghht ok (@isthatrigghht) reported

    @VMO2News @virginmedia @O2 Please search virgin media fraud and see how many folks have been waiting for weeks for a resolution. Virgin media sell contracts to anyone than put the burden of resolution on the customer to keep chasing. Sort it out, so useless

  • Dr_bogeyflicker . (@Dr_bogeyflicker) reported

    @virginmedia Never had a problem when you used EE since the switch it’s been really bad I used to get up to 80mbps download speed on data in the house now I’m lucky if I get 5mbps
