  • barbarafoggo Barbara Foggo (@barbarafoggo) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I really don’t think you can. Please provide me with an email address for the complaints department. I will write a full and detailed email and if no resolution I will forward my complaint to Ofcom.

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia This lithium service you use is to get people off social media. It obfuscates and is unable to resolve anything. I'll take my chance in the legal system and with independent ombudsman.

  • panicdragon8779 John Brunton (@panicdragon8779) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Think I have but any more problems I will give you a yell

  • greav41 Paul Greaves (@greav41) reported from Gateshead, England

    @simonrim @virginmedia Ended up removing them from our lives due to atrocious (being generous here) customer service. Even now they are threatening £130 charge due to them not sending out the box return kit.

  • barbarafoggo Barbara Foggo (@barbarafoggo) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Wow @virginmedia amazingly poor customer services on many levels. Not your best moment @richardbranson

  • neeta68 Anita Whelan (@neeta68) reported from Gateshead, England

    16 mins on hold to @virginmedia before I got through to someone who said she needed to transfer me to another department, the recorded message of that department said the number no longer exists and gave me the original phone number to ring! Some customer service that!!!

    @virginmedia Lols. 25 hour outage so far in #se4 you can polish a **** but it still stinks! #virginmedia #virginmediadown

  • banter_good Good Honest Banter (@banter_good) reported

    @djk994 @virginmedia Yeah their routers are bloody terrible. Why I bought an external router

  • Stanplatt Stan (@Stanplatt) reported

    @virginmedia Still an unhappy customer but @virginmedia going silent. They want me to pay more than 100% more than new customers #shafttheircustomers

  • silver_cyclist Lee Griffiths (@silver_cyclist) reported

    @virginmedia over 24 hours with unstable and unreliable broadband which, as a home worker, means I am losing money, nothing on the service status, not fixed by rebooting the hub, nor a factory reset of the hub.

  • JulianCole5 Julian Cole (@JulianCole5) reported

    @virginmedia Hello there. Some weeks ago someone answered my tweet about the Virgin email no longer working on my laptop. Was told this was a problem that was being worked on. Still can't access those emails...

  • ValapadBeachDog I love the beach (@ValapadBeachDog) reported

    @virginmedia we have been a customer for 5 years. We have this white router from Virgin which constantly resets itself. Currently too slow for smart TV. We have fullhouse membership. How do we get the black intelligent box and booster pods? Thanks.

  • philturner83 Phil Turner (@philturner83) reported

    @virginmedia broadband is still down in ST4 3QE area. Any idea when it will be fixed. It has been off since yesterday.

  • Invincible03_04 Young Gunner (@Invincible03_04) reported

    @virginmedia still waiting for a call back few days later which I was would be done in the next hour To make a poor service even worse The tech support advisor has made changes without consent & added services which increases my bill & no consent or verbal agreement was given😡

  • scottmagee1 scott magee (@scottmagee1) reported

    @virginmedia Well I'm always told by Virgin Media support staff that loss of service is automatically compensated. My loss of service was for 4 1/2 days and was part of a bigger local outage that was very well documented. What's my next step?

  • monk3ybarz Monk£y Bar$ (@monk3ybarz) reported

    @virginmedia If it's taking 48 hours to do a repair it would suggest you don't have the staffing levels to deal with the amount of issues you currently have. I don't believe the issue is so bad it's taking this long to replace infrastructure
