  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Yes I'm aware, they have just hung up on me again after an hour without even a real person, 6 times now and thats why I was asking for @richardbranson number, your sales guys don't seem to have any issues calling me though #JustSaying

  • oliverpostgate Chris Lyons (@oliverpostgate) reported from Darlington, England

    @sophiamcoutts @virginmedia Don’t hold your breath. I’ve had an official complaint logged with them since July and am still waiting for a conversation, never mind a resolution #virginmedia

  • ashleyhwright Ashley Wright (@ashleyhwright) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Internet seems to be down on DL3? Any update?

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Ah, so I do have to wait a week to get my broadband service back then! I was tantalisingly close to being able to do my job! Will have to inform my employers I guess!

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia No errors, never is, yet everyday at least once my net goes off, normally for 10 minutes sometimes for up to 4 or 5 hours, cant remember last time I made it 24 hours with no down time

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @KEESH1984 @virginmedia 8 days of that, we not heard fro you for a while youbstill need to speak to someone? OK let's start the whole thing again Chuffing useless, what they offer is not customer service its hope it fixes itself before anyone notices or leaves

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    No company will ever be as inept as @virginmedia: - Phone lines: wait for hours, can't speak to anyone - Message service on app down for two weeks - Text service: messaged Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues; still no reply

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @AhDeluxe @virginmedia Was it the 10 minute off or the 4/5 hour cut? Never anything inbetween in my experience

  • gaussey 𝗠𝙞𝖼𝗵𝖺𝙚𝗅 𓆤 (@gaussey) reported from Redcar, England

    @FoolRare @virginmedia Thanks, service status is down and wondered if it was just my hub dying.

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🌲Santa Doom🌲🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    . @NOWTV @nowtvhelp any idea on how to stop the intermittent blue screen when playing back any on demand video or TV channels? Got an older now TV smart box. It's wired connection into a 300mbps virgin media hub so no issues.on playback speed.

  • Kai35850650 Dougy Giro (@Kai35850650) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia is there a service outage in the SR2 area of Sunderland? My service is usually great, but it’s down currently for me

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    .@virginmedia 45 minutes on hold now listening to the horrible music!

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Let me ask, so you know how long the line is to speak to technical support? Have you tried using the text service and online chat? I have all at the same time and after 8 days I still hadn't spoke with anyone, you are unable to support your services

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia To investigate the problem with my broadband hub.

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    .@virginmedia are amazing me at the levels of incompetence that they're able to reach. Been on hold today now for 1h 33m, 2hrs 7m (then they cut me off!) and currently 33mins! If you need any customer service from them then avoid them!!!

  • gaussey 𝗠𝙞𝖼𝗵𝖺𝙚𝗅 𓆤 (@gaussey) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia No, everything is fine thanks, the outage only lasted two hours.

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @NathHawkeswood @virginmedia Twitter cant help, phoning cant speak to anyone, text service in an endless loop, chat service online is also an endless loop I need to speak with line faults and they aren't even an option on the automated phone service so I'm really screwed

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia can you advise the next time I will be able to receive your broadband for a period of 24 hours or more without it going down? #StayConnected #IfYouCan

  • richarddbaker Richard Baker (@richarddbaker) reported from Darlington, England

    Today's @virginmedia phone queue times, and still not sorted my broadband issue: - 1hr 30m - 2hrs 7m (cut off) - 1hr 33m (cut off) - currently, 17m Inept, profit grabbing company. Some more customer service staff would be great!

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    Not a lover of call centres and thought that they didn't really offer any customer service of any real value, then you have the likes of @virginmedia and @Hermesparcels that seem to want to upset customers. That said, credit to @NespressoUK, was blown away with your service

  • dishmaster28 dishmaster28 (@dishmaster28) reported

    @tombradby @virginmedia I feel the same with TalkTalk. While the intermittent internet is a BT Openreach problem they cannot book an engineer due to a system problem. 6 weeks.

  • ABSiddiki Abu Siddiki (@ABSiddiki) reported

    @virginmedia Signal too weak to use the app connect!

  • Bonxy Sam Ward (@Bonxy) reported

    @virginmedia That’s fair enough. If I did sign up, can I cancel the extender any time?

  • WiseMongoose OW (@WiseMongoose) reported

    @virginmedia What are you guys actually doing in Brighton? For literally months now we've been getting intermittent service. It usually dies at 14:30, then again at 16:00. This happens most days. Why?! This is the worst service i've ever had - lots of others seeing this too

  • TellyToday_ TellyToday (@TellyToday_) reported

    @virginmedia Just checked again with data turned off and the bad WiFi is from the hub

  • sarahabbs Sarah Abberley (@sarahabbs) reported

    @virginmedia Your service is rubbish and unreliable. We will not be renewing our contract and will be looking to potentially leave even with a financial penalty when we are due to move house in a few weeks time.

  • DBofficial125 DBofficial125 (@DBofficial125) reported

    So @virginmedia have possibly the worst help/contact system on the planet. The contact-us area on their website just takes you in a circle and doesn't actually give you any way to email, phone or web chat anywhere!? wtf is this?

  • Brutishki Holly🍃Brutish🍂 (@Brutishki) reported

    @JohnnyDude1983 @virginmedia Thankyou for the help but that actually just takes you to an automated bot which tells you to wait 24 hours as if the issue magically fixes itself. Ive booked an engineer for Thursday. the online help is abysmal and you have to jump through too many hoops to get mediocre help.

  • GwynneMcelveen Gwynne McElveen (@GwynneMcelveen) reported

    @virginmedia Impossible to cancel. The only way to cancel a contract is to call and no one answers the phone. Cut off twice today after waiting +45 minutes. How is this legal!?

  • ABSiddiki Abu Siddiki (@ABSiddiki) reported

    @virginmedia AA…this is really taking the pea. I am done with this conversation. Either get someone out and sort this mess out or cancel my membership early. This is ludicrous that we panning this convo throughout the day. #customerdissatisfaction
