  • TheHamfather Andrew Weatherhead (@TheHamfather) reported from Blyth, England

    @Kasiohead_ @virginmedia I have no advice for you but I would like to add my voice to the fact they are utterly terrible.

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

    @virginmedia hi can someone help me with my broadband

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

    @NatalieeeLoweee @virginmedia I had this issue. Got home from work to watch charity shield #MCILIV after avoiding the score and it was unwatchable because of the sound issues for me so I gave up. Will just watch #motd tonight instead. #nothappy

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Media. I ditched the TV part of the bundle years ago, but am still currently paying £50.99 p/m for 150mb broadband and a phone we never use. Come September, when you increase it by another £3.50 it’ll have gone from £37 in Dec 16 to £54.49 - A ridiculous 47% INCREASE......

  • Barrymore_Jones Michael Jones (@Barrymore_Jones) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I need help

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia This has never been suggested before; you’ve been quite happy just to take the money and then hit me with an annual increase way above inflation. I’ve spoken to customer services on a couple of times in the last couple of months, and the offers have been quite frankly insulting.

  • LiamCottam Liam A Cottam (@LiamCottam) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Everyone was fine (eventually). The feedback is simple. If I can self serve setting up and managing my account I should be able to self serve cancel.

  • Tony_Hodson Tony Hodson #coach (@Tony_Hodson) reported from Ponteland, England

    @virginmedia 1. Why the neighbour would not have the same issues when the ‘issue’ is your automated phone system is beyond my comprehension! 2. It is not a neighbours responsibility to resolve a phone issue for the bill payer. 3. Through an internal contact I now have an engineer visit bkd.

  • Jonnycushlow Jonathan Cushlow (@Jonnycushlow) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your broadband is garbage. Forever puttin the price up and your service gets worse #sky incoming

  • sheeshkebab Ian K (@sheeshkebab) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’m not after any account info though, so no need to go through security. Neither of my parents are very technical nor do I have access to the device showing the problem.

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

    @virginmedia Media service. I waited 30 mins to speak to someone, after selecting an electronic option to cancel. "I'm not authorised to cancel". Now back on hold. Virgin has the worst customer service of any company I've interacted with. It's insane.

  • fredspoon pipkins (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @DMcCSE17 @virginmedia All phone signal in London is terrible including public Wi-fi. I love when I come back to north east for a decent signal and decent Wi-fi speed :)

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

    @virginmedia can you please advise how I can easily cancel my service ASAP. It's (deliberately) impossible to contact your company by phone.

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia its for my broad band service

  • Stickings90 Graeme Stickings (@Stickings90) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia what was my TiVo box meant to be updating. I woke in the night to find it on and the screen saying it was updating software, don't switch off. I rang 151 to find out, but the automatic system said there was an issue and sent a restart pulse 1/2

  • tenaka66 Paul 'The View' Carver (@tenaka66) reported from Cramlington, England

    @virginmedia poor service

  • LeslieBrown953 Leslie Brown (@LeslieBrown953) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Disgusted at the speed of my broadband I am receiving. Signal very very slow. Paying for M50 broadband. Feel I am paying over the odds for what I am getting. But I already know your reply. Everything ok our side. Also received that the price is going up #ripoff

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your help with this, but can you please refrain from using foreign call centres; it is incredibly frustrating trying to explain to someone that you’re unhappy about your bill, who interprets this as a technical problem.......

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

    @virginmedia Worst customer service I've ever encountered. On multiple occasions over several years. Rudeness and lack of knowledge being the main issues, along with the usual very long hold times.

  • ThunderbirdWPC Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Tried to pm you but won’t let me. Someone coming Wednesday now to sort problem

  • __ellee 🌛 Elle (@__ellee) reported

  • Ian1603 Ian1558 (@Ian1603) reported

    Even trying to use Twitter via @virginmedia is a joke. Over priced, poor service. I used to love them but now...........

  • Kevd86 Kev (@Kevd86) reported

    @virginmedia not using virgins internet no i can log in via my vodafone mobile data where im told there is no problem in the area and that my super hub is not connected not that it would be when it cant connect to the internet services since it just has a flashing green light

  • Rebecca46768087 Rebecca Holland 🐝 (@Rebecca46768087) reported

    @virginmedia What is happening with the internet in the wa11 area. Where on day 4 that where not getting the full service we are paying for im getting really fed up of having no wifi

  • sarahgaryozzy sarah baxter (@sarahgaryozzy) reported

    @virginmedia Are you kidding me! What's the point in having the WhatsApp service when apparently there is nothing that can be achieved on it! Can't speak to technical support, don't appear to get any support and was informed yesterday on WhatsApp by the way

  • sport_simon Simon Austin (@sport_simon) reported

    The @virginmedia strategy for retaining customers seems to be not to allow them to cancel. Can't cancel online/ via email & they don't answer phone (on hold for 1 hour plus a couple of times) Wrote a letter to address provided on their website and no response to that either.

  • Quinnaay Luke Quinn (@Quinnaay) reported

    @virginmedia are the worst company in the world, Had issues for 6 months and the technical team can’t help and the complaints team just repeat the same copy and paste rubbish telling me to ring technical. How do I get through to a normal human??? #virginmedia

  • NatalieHewing Natalie Hewing (@NatalieHewing) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and have rang multiple times over the past year. I logged a complaint only to receive a letter saying theyd book an engineer and replace the hub if needed. I rang to do this and they said i had to pay £25. I already pay £60 for no internet

  • Hmartin1Martin Martin (@Hmartin1Martin) reported

    @virginmedia This is a joke I need to do your work then send you a picture that doesn't help the fault when it is raining heavy that I loose all internet due to sub surface box that floods
