    @virginmedia Worst broadband and cable provider of all time.

  • 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 :)

  • NuttyRichie Richard Payne (@NuttyRichie) reported from South Shields, England

    Another blackout on @virginmedia

  • 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

  • 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.

  • NuttyRichie Richard Payne (@NuttyRichie) reported from South Shields, England

    @MrChrisWynn @Simon21ne @virginmedia @nowtvhelp @SkyHelpTeam I managed one week before cancelling! Sky says I have so many devices that it’s slowing the hub down, in 2019 that’s piss poor

  • 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

  • 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.

  • toniaadiexx T (@toniaadiexx) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already spoken to someone on the phone who reset the network, but that didn’t work. I also tried re-starting everything and that also didn’t work, the box itself is very slow now also.

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

    @virginmedia its for my broad band service

  • 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

  • Matt72423 Matty Erskine (@Matt72423) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia It is now, I think, five months since I made a complaint which has yet to be dealt with. To say that I'm not impressed with your 'customer services' would be a bit of an understatement.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • philippat Philippa Taylor (@philippat) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia good customer service , they asked if they could ring me back in 15 mins due to his PC not working , now 2.5 hours later and I am still waiting , tried ringing them back and been on hold for 28 mins now 😡

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

    @virginmedia I need help

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

    @virginmedia hi can someone help me with my broadband

  • 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.

  • minkewales minkewales (@minkewales) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Dabooka @skybiggerpic @virginmedia It was my second attempt to be fair. First time they reduced the price rise to £1.50 per month, then I rang back a few days later to cancel. Found a better deal elsewhere but price was the driver for wanting to leave. Lovely @virginmedia agent was able to help!

  • 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.

  • mitchsteve mitchell (@mitchsteve) reported

    @virginmedia Before he put us through to the wrong dept. your customer service person was attempting to put us to technical to arrange a replacement hub (overheating, red light) That’s the stage we’re left at.

  • Radarbell Daniel Paul (@Radarbell) reported

    @virginmedia Just to let you know after purchasing a 3 party router the issue looks like it solved, now getting excellent wifi throughout the house with no drop outs, just some feedback the hub 3 is not fit for purpose please stop selling this router to your customers as it’s outdated

  • JasonMo25436420 Jason Morgan (@JasonMo25436420) reported

    @virginmedia Slow but working , give it a few days see what happends

  • kincess Sooz Kinsella (@kincess) reported

    @virginmedia tv and broadband down in Glasgow 😳. No engineer for 3 days 😳😳😳😳

  • jaymondo Julian Anderson (@jaymondo) reported

    @vmbusiness Still down and no body cares. Shameful service. #virginmedia

  • Organicfoodman The Elephant in the room (@Organicfoodman) reported

    @virginmedia No, I have given the address and they said virgin cannot offer the services in that area. It is in Cornwall in the middle of farmland. I have been with virgin for many years and to be treated like this is pretty poor.

  • MidgetMatty98 Envy MidgetMatty (@MidgetMatty98) reported

    How ******** do you have a line that allows the 2 houses next to my new place to access your broadband but your unavailable for me??? Do one @virginmedia First you don’t cal us back in the timeframe you said you would and now your just ******* me over. What a waste of time

  • Redlambs2 Redlambs (@Redlambs2) reported

    @virginmedia 9 days, 9 days you've left my mother without internet/tv and your terrible call centers either say "we can't do anything" or just hang up. How are you still so bad at customer service?

  • Iilhunny 🍯ʎuunɥ🍯 (@Iilhunny) reported

    My internet is turned off for some reason and virgin media support isn’t open today. How ****** it that

  • LeeHammond1987 Lee Hammond (@LeeHammond1987) reported

    @virginmedia It's wireless - but it's literally about 8 foot away from the router. Other side of the room, no obstructions to it. The connection is just horrible, I reset the router all the time now, and it still doesn't do much. It's just not very good, despite boasting the best speeds.
