  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone in North Tyneside struggling with @virginmedia?? Or is it just me? Keep losing signal and the TiVo box keeps rebooting. Had to abandon the National League final and now Gillian Anderson getting fruit in Room 203 of the Hilton Hotel Belstaff ...

  • grahamtebbutt grahamtebbutt (@grahamtebbutt) reported from Gateshead, England

    @ComradeMorden @virginmedia I’ll join you Simon in this nightmare of trying to get a connection, I’ve only just realised it isn’t just us that have a problem in NE9. It seems very intermittent

    @virginmedia Are you having problems I have no internet or tv at the moment?

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @DonBaldini @virginmedia Not good enough VM, I’m paying you nearly £1000 a year for absolutely terrible service. Other providers exist ...!

  • bigpapablu Rich Oliver (@bigpapablu) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @garyrbarton @virginmedia Rule of thumb: hang up

  • allymcgeorge A. D. G. McGeorge (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi been on hold to change package too long, online switch hasn't been working for weeks, online chat doesn't work. It's almost like you are putting deliberate barriers up

  • GraemeHopper Graeme Hopper (@GraemeHopper) reported from Gateshead, England

  • doozer_princess Caroline (@doozer_princess) reported

    @colleen_gruffin @virginmedia Just don’t go to @SkyHelpTeam they are just as bad

  • Kerrrrrrryl Kerry Bailey (@Kerrrrrrryl) reported

    @YodelOnline absolute shocking customer service!! No regard for anyone!!! @virginmedia Please sort this out!!! This kind of service isn't doing your company any good either!!!!!

  • ThatMouthyBrit V I C K Y 🇺🇦 🌈 (@ThatMouthyBrit) reported

    @yocactusgames @virginmedia Absolutely awful. They kept saying “so it’s a broadband box you ordered?” I was like NO. The ****** TiVo box I’ve had for five years and is slower than anything needs replacing before I launch it out the ******* window! Why am I paying £70 a month for this crap?

  • ms6282 Michael (@ms6282) reported

    @virginmedia Why not phone? You have our number as you provide service as part of contract which also includes broadband. Sending email to address you’ve suspended is just stupid and shows lack of initiative and lack of consideration for customers

  • EwenCairns Ewen Cairns (@EwenCairns) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Anyone thinking of joining don’t. Just don’t. Worst customer experience ever. You can’t join O2 on this if you previously were an o2 customer previously unless you use a new email address. Total joke and waste of my time.

  • Nicrob Nicola Robinson (@Nicrob) reported

    @virginmedia I'm really not too sure why someone can't just phone him? Why is this an issue?

  • hannahkulls Hannah Kulmatycki (@hannahkulls) reported

    @virginmedia Hi we have not - you won’t let us cancel and it’s been 5 days of trying

  • Heidi_Wurst Heidi Wurst (@Heidi_Wurst) reported

    @virginmedia Awful, refusing to handle a complaint because I can’t remember a password I set up three months ago and have never used and can’t access as I don’t have documents to hand. 1. Going to ombudsman and 2. Cancelling and switching provider. 1 month in, awful company. Never using again

  • OlitheKid1 Oli the Kid (@OlitheKid1) reported

    Absolutely appaling service by virgin media. Have rung them 5 times & they keep transferring me and then hanging up after they assured they can help, my dad is a severe kidney patient who relies on our landline number and all we need to do is port it over @virginmedia

  • Mid_WifeCrisis Polly James (@Mid_WifeCrisis) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, but it might be helpful if your Customer Service staff mentioned this to customers who are struggling when they phone to ask, “Is that the best you can do?”, instead of jiggling about with inducements to continue paying more than they can afford…
