    @OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

  • hylt64 Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

    @virginmedia Horrific customer service

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

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • Ne31phil Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia please advise Reduced mobile signal in the NE31 area. The signals were fine until a couple of months ago. previously had 4g I now mainly get E or sometimes 3G this is an issue due to my elderly mother-in-law being in hospital and now very poor signal in their home

  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….

  • Rob_Bradley88 Rob Bradley (@Rob_Bradley88) reported

    @virginmedia My broadband keeps going off, been like it for about a week on and off now and customer service are a joke! I'm not happy TBH

  • Sanna_Syed Sanna Syed (@Sanna_Syed) reported

    @virginmedia It's still awful. And so intermittent. It constantly cuts out and watching a movie was awful. I ended up streaming off of my hotspot.

  • Harry19950462 Harry Osborn (@Harry19950462) reported

    @virginmedia No because its a computer that doesn't help you I need to talk to someone

  • nikkitel Nikki (@nikkitel) reported

    @virginmedia Hi nope! They transferred me and hours later nothing so I’ve filled in a complaint form. Shocking lack of service and for something so simple

  • stuart_mackay88 Stuart Mackay (@stuart_mackay88) reported

    @virginmedia I do appreciate that but I think the dynamics are a little different when the engineer causes the problem that it would warrant jumping up the queue.

  • DanPlaysGames22 Harrison Dan (@DanPlaysGames22) reported

    @casper197635 @TheMrMegabyte @virginmedia Oh damn do you know what speed you pay for?

  • Its_Ciaron Gallon of Magnet (@Its_Ciaron) reported

    @virginmedia Its a linked issue, a family discount account because I have two phones and broadband. Just spent an hour being laughed at by someone in the Philippines who doesn't understand the law and repeatedly refused to give me their name. No phone means no doctor, no carer...I'm scared

  • carlclark52 Carl Robert Clark (@carlclark52) reported

    Typical @virginmedia, we spend most of half term out and about, so we will use this weekend to catch up with work before Monday. This is when there is a "network issue"! 😠

  • Rob_Bradley88 Rob Bradley (@Rob_Bradley88) reported

    @virginmedia It's the hub that's not working! So that's irrelevant! If the main source keeps breaking

  • codedbymiles Miles Cant (@codedbymiles) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband for our whole street is down, your 1st line support was argumentative and refused to listen and is adamant it’s a household issue and not a service area issue, can you get this resolved please?
