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

    @virginmedia I am sick of contacting yourselves regarding it. Your company does not seem to know which department I need to speak to. One minute It's customer care, then movers, then disconnections, who pass me back to customer care. #notaclue #virginmediasaga

  • MrPaulDH Paul Humphreys (@MrPaulDH) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia waiting waiting on the phone no internet at all now your Auto mated checking service says a problem need to speak to your CS. Waiting waiting 30 minutes now

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Your customer service was the worst ever One guy actually shouted at us Your TV never worked your internet went off at night We constantly had to reboot All while paying you a small fortune So no we won't be returning

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 So another tonight wasted last night on the phone to all your departments and still no resolution. Still trying to make me pay your staff's mistakes. #virginmediasaga #thieves

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

    @sky do you resolve customer complaints in less time than the 3 weeks @virginmedia need #imightneedanewprovider #coolingoffperiod #virginmediasaga

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • gemmafisher5 gemma fisher (@gemmafisher5) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia what an absolute #nightmare to #cancel my services because I’m movinghouse my call has been hung up on #twice now #1andahalf hours on the phone and I’m still on #hold 🤬

  • 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

    @virginmedia I raised a complaint last Wednesday, I then received an email Thursday night after not being spoken to by anyone saying the complaint was being closed

  • ErikaSzkGmp Erika Suzuki (@ErikaSzkGmp) reported

    @virginmedia Having troubles with the broadband, no signal after an electric fault in the region, not able to talk with anyone to support, more households are in the same situation, without internet for more than 12 hours. Need some support to get signal back.

  • FabyDLZ Fabiana Di Lorenzo (@FabyDLZ) reported

    @virginmedia I moved indefinitely! I asked to remove my standing order so I could go to pay as you go and possibly send me the sim to Italy. They sent it to UK’s old address. Now I rather cancel my contract and I need to speak to someone asap

  • 11_ma97 A (@11_ma97) reported

    @virginmedia Wifi hasn’t worked the whole day every step was followed unbelievable how **** this brand is 😡

  • gjmarklew Gareth (@gjmarklew) reported

    @virginmedia A response queue which has currently had me waiting for an hour and twenty.This is not good enough.Your own website has told me that you can’t supply your services to my new address,and that I have to speak to you to cancel my contract- for which no doubt you’ll charge a fortune.

  • Nagood01 Nagood (@Nagood01) reported

    @virginmedia please tell me how my parents can speak to someone in the UK, rather than an Indian call centre continually reading off a script. Please DM me to arrange for a senior UK based manager to call to explain why you're service has been intermittent since 11 July in RM11.

  • hee_haw_hum Cornelius (@hee_haw_hum) reported

    @virginmedia Would you kindly move #Channel4HD to channel 104 and then get rid of ALL your standard definition channels. People shouldn't be paying extra to get a decent bloomin resolution in 2022, what's wrong with you people?!

  • mrcj300460 Chris J (@mrcj300460) reported

    @virginmedia 58 days and counting with really poor wifi, my home security is being compromised & you don’t care, we have lost holiday because we can’t work from home when our emp request us to do so & you don’t care, & still not call from manager as agreed, #poorservice all round

  • DamianB82555926 Damian Bailey (@DamianB82555926) reported

    @Joe_p_ward @virginmedia Wi-Fi becomes unresponsive and won’t connect or it says the password is incorrect. Virgin media tv boxes even get kicked off. Turn power off fixes it for abit. @virginmedia are deploying a service that’s not fit for use

  • Channy30 ChantelleD 💙 (@Channy30) reported

    @virginmedia It was saying you have closed your account, I’ve never had an account with Virgin before but now is saying it doesn’t recognise the email I took out the plan with
