  • ll370 IanBurns (@ll370) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 2 weeks back with you and my signal keeps dropping almost every single day, best internet provider. I think I have grounds to terminate my contract. What a joke

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia We asked at the time of there was any money outstanding and we were told no. We were never told it takes 30 days to cancel. Again poor service from yourselves. I don't have the complaint number no as your staff keep hanging up

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia it's a shame I don't have a #timestone so I could go back and never get a service with you #stealingcustomersmoney

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia i tried google and doesnt work.

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia #virginmediasaga on hold to yourselves again. #youneednewholdmusic. Although I do find it ironic that you play a song with the lyrics 'I'm a sucker for you. The only suckers are the customers like me that can't seem to get issues resolved! #virginmedia #thieves

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia is your broadband down in this postcode NE261AG plz

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    So your staff forgot to cancel my service properly and then conveniently raised two new bills rather than giving us the 70 pound you owe us. 2 X managers and not a clue between any of them #virginmedia #thieves #makethecustomerpayforyourmistakea

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia service down phone lines closed internet fecked no apology you are a disgrace #virginmediasucks #getyouracttogether #feelsliketheft #customerserviceisnil #whereismyrefund

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Cancelled the account on 28th or 29th March. Was told by one of your staff members that the service would be cancelled immediately and that #virginmedia owed us just over £70. She also cancelled the direct debit, agreed to send a cheque for the balance to an alternative address

  • bigpinkdressgnr BIG PINK DRESS (@bigpinkdressgnr) reported from South Shields, England

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    Things that have happened in the time it takes for @virginmedia to resolve a complaint. #Royalbaby has been born, #Liverpool beat Barca, Maya got caught on #Emmerdale, #iran have threatened to change their #nucleardear. #virginmediasaga

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia can you help me with a broadband technical issue. I have 200Mb, power cycle the router daily and still by the end of the day end up with super slow speeds. Less than 1Mb tonight. Thanks.

  • hellsbells610 Hells Bells 🐧 (@hellsbells610) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia are there issues in the Gateshead area. Broadband keeps on going down. Tried turning hub off/on, but not helping.

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia no just have to put password and email address in. The green tick appear then keeps saying sign in

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hey its been like this for a while. I have the power socket scheduled to restart every night, but it isn't helping. Ive also reset to factory settings numerous times as well as try different wireless channels. WiFi is only part of the problem though as the issue exists on cable

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia the Royal baby will have his own baby before you sort my issue out or answer the phone #virginmedia #virginmediasaga

  • robbiethecelt robbiethecelt 🍍 (@robbiethecelt) reported

    @virginmedia and will everyone be refunded for the loss of service?

  • Tspurs18 tom (@Tspurs18) reported

    @Ellwebb32 @Shelly_V_67 @virginmedia yeah they’re ***** for it, they don’t care unless you do the hard work for them, that deal you have is £20 more than the new customer deal so that’s decent normally you get shafted when a existing customer

  • Milwaukyeet Dylan Cookson (@Milwaukyeet) reported

    Virgin Media ******* sucks

  • robbiethecelt robbiethecelt 🍍 (@robbiethecelt) reported

    @virginmedia any chance of letting everyone know when the television service will be restored?

  • theonlyjackYT TheOnlyJackThatRimes (@theonlyjackYT) reported

    I’ve had @virginmedia broadband for a week now and it has been completely down twice… what is going on

  • _annabassett anna (@_annabassett) reported

    @virginmedia There is currently an engineer working to fix the problem. But it’s still the fact that I have to phone yourselves so frequently (since the first day I got this broadband) for such bad, temperamental, internet service - it’s shocking really!

  • kezi2001 Kez (@kezi2001) reported

    @virginmedia Obviously a generic reply and my tweet was not read. I'm having no problems with my Sky provided internet and tv.

  • Fenntic Fennec🎗 (@Fenntic) reported

  • timdeegan1 Tim Deegan (@timdeegan1) reported

    @virginmedia Just as I said. I've spent about 10 hours trying to sort issues out recently. Then they let you down. By the way, did you know that there is another fake VM twitter account virginuemedia I've reported them. They are replying to anyone who posts on your page

  • stevedavidson_ Steve Davidson (@stevedavidson_) reported

    @virginmedia I did that already a few days ago via tech support and also selected different networks none of which made any difference.
