    @virginmedia I appreciate how stretched you must be but I am a key worker and for over a week jow I an unable to contact you to sort out my tv problem. Hours on phone,via app and web still not solved. Can’t watch tv properly need it sorting pronto please.

  • ClareSweep1957 clare williams (@ClareSweep1957) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Iv had problems for 4 days,impossible to contact you so will be moving back to sky

  • KateBaucherel Kate Baucherel (@KateBaucherel) reported from Billingham, England

    @virginmedia It’s been going off intermittently for weeks. I’ve been blaming the devices in the house and changing every cable. You even sent me a new router. Every drop in service resets adapters and loses video calls.

  • BrendaMullen Dancebrack1 (@BrendaMullen) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia fed up with slow cable broadband since lockdown. The money I pay you is not worth it for the bad service! You should be refunding my charges #Disgraceful #notreliable

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I have been trying to get problem with my box sorted for 3 weeks now. Cuts out sound only. Still not sorted and all info followed. Gone beyond frustrated now simply unacceptable customer service I want to know where else I can complain to or where can get sorted

  • rachsclarke rachel clarke (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @EE Would be more than happy to rejoin EE even without my NHS discount if someone would actually call me back. Don’t think I can take another week of important missed calls from @virginmedia - yes I know they use the EE network but not the enhanced 4G+ side 🙄

  • wanaldinho wayne burnett (@wanaldinho) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia come on guys internet still not working in Middlesbrough

  • RobertTamkin94 Robert-Andrew Tamkin (@RobertTamkin94) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @RMT3N @virginmedia @FortniteGame @SkyUK I’m actually moaning about a service I pay for but I mean it’s not you pays for my bills I do, so piss off keyboard warrior 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  • bettercallmal ˥ ∀ W (@bettercallmal) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    The country is on lockdown and Virgin Media has been going down all day. Would hate to work for customer service right now.

  • rachsclarke rachel clarke (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Tried this, 3 days to reply per message. Pathetic really, good customer service could compensate for poor phone service but I don’t get either. I get the VM sim for free with my package, I’d rather pay an extra £20 a month elsewhere to make sure I don’t miss important calls

  • Erinshore11 Geoff Wright (@Erinshore11) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    Had visit No 2 from Virgin, a couple of nice chaps,chased cables and removed cable still connected to the network that's not been used for years,new modem,new leads,new remote and the supervisor's number with a call back in a week, all good so far well done @virginmedia

  • Erinshore11 Geoff Wright (@Erinshore11) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia Spoke too soon back in off again. Obviously nothing to do with modem as it’s new, same issues as before this time off for a fair amount of time now, is there an issue imnn in in TS8 location.

  • rachsclarke rachel clarke (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia No as I’m unable to get through 1. Because my signal is horrendous and 2. Because your lines are constantly closed. It seems easier for me to just go back to @EE as I need reliability, I’ve missed too many important phone calls since using VM.

  • JanetteMcMain Janette (@JanetteMcMain) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia we have reported issues with V6 box not working by phone / Facebook & Twitter - can you help please

  • HayleyJenkins21 Hayley Jenkins (@HayleyJenkins21) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia your website will not let me into your account to do a speed test (our broad band is getting slower and slower). It won’t let me reset the password and instead gets stuck in a loop resetting the reset password- absolutely infuriating. Had this problem four years now!

  • lumpss Lisa Harvey (@lumpss) reported from Billingham, England

    Virgin media down 😡

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Gone through apps,web,hours on phone even my nieces partner who works for you but system down. I am really getting annoyed

  • ClareSweep1957 clare williams (@ClareSweep1957) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia I thought sky was bad...well I’m about to go back to them

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I want my tv service sorting. Just not good enough despite current situation. Second time this fault has occured and fed up of being told “working on it” get it fixed or I leave

  • AdamBriffaAudio Adam Briffa (@AdamBriffaAudio) reported

    @virginmedia You're actually making me furious now. I've contacted virgin at 8am this morning to beat the queues to now being put on hold for an hour after the system went down for the person responding to my call... Not good enough!

  • anqixiqi zukin || LEMON CANDY 🍋🍬 (@anqixiqi) reported

    @virginmedia There are no issues at all showing on your website for my area, and yet everyone I’ve spoken to is having the same issue. Suspicious~

  • RobNash83 Rob Nash (@RobNash83) reported

    @virginmedia A couple of weeks ago. I've also tried to call to disconnect my services and after an hour on hold again gave up. Can someone please arrange to call me? The service is ridiculous

  • Looby_Lou6 Wee Scottish Lass 🤩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Looby_Lou6) reported

    @virginmedia Well I’m sure it would if it hasn’t been all wired in through the ceiling of the cupboard!I’ve already had this conversation with your colleagues who agreed it should never have been fitted there! You wanted to charge ME to move it! Manager meant to call. Still waiting!

  • AEllenx Aliyah Ellen (@AEllenx) reported

    @virginmedia Is someone from your team going to contact me by phone or something? Least you could do considering im paying for a service, and its not working to the standard it should be. Cheers

  • JohnStuWilson John Wilson (@JohnStuWilson) reported from Coventry, England

    @virginmedia It’s an intermittent problem just with WiFi, no problem with connection into the house. Your app tells me my hub is too old.

  • PortobelloMark Mark (@PortobelloMark) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve tried everything. Pinhole reset, your own WiFi booster, had an engineer out who couldn’t understand it, multiple phone calls. I’ve got a Hub3 and a quick search suggests it’s an issue with them? I’d like to get that replaced pls?

  • EatingMarmalade PaddingtonBear (@EatingMarmalade) reported

    @fabsod @virginmedia @LifeInKilburn Virgin are rubbish! I left last year with compensation for abysmal service...I felt like I'd been pardoned from a prison sentence...now with #EE everything is perfect!!

  • pavlovscats Martin Brown (@pavlovscats) reported

    @virginmedia I have called many times and been on hold for absurd amounts of time. Suffice to say that this has been ongoing since the delivery of the hub, the service has never started and the kit will be returned unless I have an engineer here by Wednesday 10 Feb:

  • neilTheMagpie neilB ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️🥬 (@neilTheMagpie) reported

    @dedwards1892 @virginmedia WiFi connection around the house is awful. I even bought a booster which helped a bit but not much. I had Sky broadband before that which was fine but I only switched because Sky hiked up the price!
