  • Marilyn_huartt Marilyn malibu (@Marilyn_huartt) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

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

    @WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia emails are not working the solution by Virgin is to log into My virgin media can you tell me how to do this when it is not recognising my log in and your call centres are all closed

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia what has happened with the service in ne33 4hn area as I have no phone line no internet and no tv service

  • fossdog_ Jake Fossey (@fossdog_) reported from Stanley, England

  • MarkaMackem Mackem (@MarkaMackem) reported from Seaham, England

    @Flittdog @Jo7Lawton @JackieMayes5 @Adamphayward @finbarr_poland @piersmorgan @virginmedia This particular job is not classed as key as its not a service everyone wants

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I keep getting message that blueyonder server is down and as such cannot log into VM or get and send emails

  • Andymorris74 Andrew Morris ⚽️ (@Andymorris74) reported from South Shields, England

    How about @skytv giving movie channels for free across all platforms @virginmedia @bt_uk and help keep people at home! Come on, do your bit Sky TV 👍

  • dodgestweet Matt Dodge Donnelly (@dodgestweet) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

  • RobbyRSSRobot Robby (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Just checking as it calls me your customer and I'm not! 🤣

  • julieclayevents Julie Clay (@julieclayevents) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Don’t forget to cancel your @virginmedia @skytv package!!!! #nofootball 😢

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia It all started as a Blueyonder customer in the '00's.... But actually, no, best not...

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

    .@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

  • lolshaw1992 Lauren 🌜✨ (@lolshaw1992) reported

    @virginmedia can you call us?! Sick of trying to get through, jumping through a ridiculous number of hoops to be cut off. Customer service is absolutely awful

    @virginmedia But I need this sorted ASAP.. I have been out of service since I moved to my new home and it's not convenient

  • Agwadoris Okeh Agwa (@Agwadoris) reported

    @virginmedia I have had the worst experience with your team. How long does it take to complete a moving home request? I have been calling for 2 weeks just to get an engineer's appointment.

  • Vivh74 Vivh (@Vivh74) reported

    @virginmedia They have not got back in touch via text, tho it was received by yourselves on 28th Mar. I've now written & posted it. Pointless having these additional contact methods. Service in our area really poor, despite frequent info about speeds. At £63 ish we're not staying!

  • Grayson_91 Charlotte Winter (@Grayson_91) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, no there is no issues. But like I say when I’m on YouTube it seems to play the video I’m watching for about 5/10 minutes then just completely loses signal and doesn’t come back. This has been happening for a couple weeks now

  • DarrenStrutt Darren Strutt (@DarrenStrutt) reported

    @virginmedia Called the number and it says, after confirming my postcode, that the number I have called is temporarily out of service. Lovely stuff.

  • JamieSykes3 Jamie Sykes (@JamieSykes3) reported

    @virginmedia And what use is that goner do will just be more phone calls and more harassment off your rude staff may 3rd could not come quick enough to get out your ***** corrupt hands

  • FarishLakhani Farish Lakhani (@FarishLakhani) reported

    @virginmedia So via the forum they can help more then over the phone? That sounds like a cop out

  • JamieSykes3 Jamie Sykes (@JamieSykes3) reported

    @virginmedia Me leaving virgin media because your service is **** and I keep getting drop outs and your staff are rude and don’t actually communicate between themselves and I end up getting swore at by a member of your staff
