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

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

    @virginmedia No problem

  • 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.

  • 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!!!

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

    @simonrim @virginmedia Worst company going

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia disabled relatives who are without a phone for the second time ina month.they have a nurse call system that needs working phone line. No engineer until tomorrow. raised a complaint told some one will call non working phone. If no response complaint closed.

  • 1lynzi1 lynzi owens (@1lynzi1) reported from South Shields, England

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

  • 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.

  • lukejameson17 luke jameson (@lukejameson17) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia don’t give a **** what time of year it is but to reset my ******* WiFi 4 bastard times today is a ******* joke, absolute ******* usless ***** man

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

    @Davidwillough19 @virginmedia After another 22 minutes and explaining it all again, calmly and politely I may add, the other person has hung up, unbelievable! @virginmedia can you help me please

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

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

  • 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

  • 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....

  • 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 😡

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

    @virginmedia I really don’t think you can. Please provide me with an email address for the complaints department. I will write a full and detailed email and if no resolution I will forward my complaint to Ofcom.

  • siomhaithmhic Irene Megaw (@siomhaithmhic) reported

    @virginmedia She shouldn't have had to do that. Issue solved now as she is now in a care home! Not easy for an 81 year old to get a new number!

  • tochianu Tochianu (@tochianu) reported

    @virginmedia I just joined and the internet is intermittent and the Wi-Fi doesn’t cover the whole house. It’s disruptive to my work and everything else. I didn’t have these issues with my BT. It’s meant to be faster and I’m barely experiencing any benefits

  • jennidurant22 Jenni Durant (@jennidurant22) reported

    @virginmedia So another seven hours? Like I said initially an absolute joke of a customer service department. Are you going to pay my phone bill for all these calls? Pay my time for all the time I've waited? My hourly rate is £50. By now you owe me more than your cancellation fee

  • living_cheerful 'Big Al' 🇺🇦 (@living_cheerful) reported

    @virginmedia awful service. Problems with Internet and no engineer avaliable for 9 days! Quick to take money, really slow to sort problems. Time to change provider I think.

  • YeOldeMMRF A miserable motor racing fan (@YeOldeMMRF) reported

    @chrislepkowski @virginmedia I've had no problems with it at all since investing in a WiFi mesh system. I find I'm also getting close to the speeds they're advertising too. It's revolutionsed WiFi here.

  • chrislepkowski Chris Lepkowski (@chrislepkowski) reported

    @stevewollaston @virginmedia Flaming hell. Just noticed we have an issue in the whole area...
