  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia just the most horrific service ever from you. Your agent agreed a discount due to poor service and to stop me leaving. It now transpires the discount is at the expense of skysportsHD which we did not agree. I’m now having to take it to ofcom because no one can help

    More issues with our broadband again today @virginmedia I don’t think we’ve had a full day off broadband for months 🤬 #timetocancel #wasteofmoney

  • 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.

  • edginggodout Darren Leigh Arkless (@edginggodout) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

  • ozwaldo1985 Craig Osborne (@ozwaldo1985) reported from Wallsend, England

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

  • stephwales_ S t e p h . ♡ (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Great what deals you can get when you ring to cancel your contract 👍 @virginmedia a very helpful Hayley in your call centre. Paying less now for more than double what I had before.

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

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

  • 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

  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I will@go@to ofcom and I will chaffe you for my hourly rate for any time expenses on this disgraceful approach to customer experience when I’ve been a loyal@customer for 15 years

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

    Not sure who I spoke to @virginmedia but gota say she was really helpful. Top customer service 👍

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia It would help if you read the thread and the attached screenshot. I did email with specific requests under gdpr. That was forwarded within VM and I got a generic dismissive reply which didn't even acknowledge the queries. Further eroding trust in VM

  • leewhttngtn Lee Whittington (@leewhttngtn) reported from Hebburn, England

    Never felt so left down by @virginmedia after years of being a loyal customer my bill has increased by £20pm for no extra services when I rang to cancel I was offered £1 discount! To say I was insulted is an understatement, shocking service loyalty counts for nothing!!! Cancelled

  • 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.

    @virginmedia my internet isn't working in NE25, are you having issues in this area 😥

  • wal_tastic Christopher Walton (@wal_tastic) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia right how do I going about getting a new router, I've had mine for about 4ys and it keep on dropping signal from phones!!

  • hilly_1986 Iain Hill (@hilly_1986) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Say no known issues. Wired is fine but WiFi all over the house is shocking! Tried moving the hub but can only go so far as it’s restricted by the wires.

    @virginmedia really disappointing that your website is down with 3 hours left of your black Friday sale.

  • myball123 Simon Groutage (@myball123) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia hi there, all of our services have dropped out in the last ten minutes, the router changed to a flashing red light without anybody touching it. I have rebooted the router and it comes back on but is still flashing red. No TV, no WiFi, no landline help please

  • vintagegaylady CJ (@vintagegaylady) reported

    @virginmedia I have been informed there is a broadband issue in SE19 but no detail on when service is expected to resume. Can you confirm what the issue is please and when a fix will be made? Thanks

    We pay £100+ a month for @virginmedia and our broadband is the biggest crock of ****!! We’ve been waiting now 3 weeks for a new WiFi box but will soon want paying for a service we can’t use 🤬😡

    @taramoon__ It happens a lot with me in the UK cuz @virginmedia thinks it is a good idea to put problems on my line and then say “you don’t have any problems on the line according to our systems”

  • james_a_tanner James Tanner (@james_a_tanner) reported

    Can I have an engineer now @virginmedia internet “fix” lasted about 2 weeks and it’s back to being utter dog sh*te and 1100 ping AGAIN. This time using your own router!!!
