  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia There isn’t any reported problems in my area but mine is very ‘hit and miss’ at the moment. I’ll go for periods where nothing will upload/download at all

  • TerryFBH Terry Chapman or FBH (@TerryFBH) reported from Yarm, England

    @virginmedia I look forward to receiving your offer regarding the complaints that I already made and have still not received a response. I suppose you could consider this a further complaint that your complaints process is inadequate.

  • TerryFBH Terry Chapman or FBH (@TerryFBH) reported from Yarm, England

    @virginmedia Why does your organisation make it so difficult to raise a complaint? Please advise with whom I may raise this.

  • davedome Dave (@davedome) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia any issues in the DL3 area? Broadband crashed about 10mins and hasn't been back on since.

  • petersnowdon Peter Snowdon (@petersnowdon) reported from Darlington, England

    Hi @virginmedia received a letter this morning advising me of price rise and providing a link for more info. The link directs me to call and you don't answer. Any suggestions? I'd like to cancel my service with you. Thanks

  • ConnorMather Connor Mather (@ConnorMather) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia is a joke had a issue with my internet box for weeks and nothing resolves it and I try to call them and never get a hold of them. Pisstake

  • MarksWeb41 Mark Webster (@MarksWeb41) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Trying to get in touch with the uk Virgin service that I still want to report a server fault because I getting no new message despite I ran 5 test e-mail that it’s did send successfully & I getting nothing no downloaded new message as it’s had not been undelivered at all. Fault?

  • JamesGilroy James Gilroy (@JamesGilroy) reported from Yarm, England

    @cyclingbetting @virginmedia Had a similar issue before Christmas. One of their engineers came out, changed router cable and some settings on router. Works champion now

  • Lopek Andy Gibson (@Lopek) reported from Darlington, England

    Broadband down yet again. Can I suggest a now slogan @virginmedia... Reliably Unreliable".

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I’ve done all that’s recommended. Logged complaints, customer service can’t help, I’m still awaiting a supervisor to contact…

  • C4SPAR_ C4SP4R (@C4SPAR_) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @davidm_allan @virginmedia I Live in Roker, had nothing but trouble with virgin broadband. Had it replaced today.

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia They advised, reset, changing from 2.4 to 5. Then back again. Changing the settings on the account. Done this multiple times. Customer service hung up on me then I rang back again and was told I hung up on them. Awaiting a supervisor call. It’s never worked since installation

  • Lopek Andy Gibson (@Lopek) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia It's the continued problems that annoy me. Down again now, third time this Easter Weekend. Yes it's showing as down on your dashboard. I always check & flag it when I (also) have a problem. Getting worse all the time. Beyond a joke.

  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Yes unable to use it. Wireless is very poor and was great during the first couple of weeks. Uploading is very hot and miss. Not happy considering I’m paying for fast broadband. My phone rarely connects to it unless I’m fairly close to the router. This can’t be right

  • petersnowdon Peter Snowdon (@petersnowdon) reported from Darlington, England

    40 mins on the phone to @virginmedia on hold listening to poor music ....have you thought of recruiting some staff? Plenty of people would love a job at the moment...mad way to run a business

  • jonnydearlove Jonny Dearlove (@jonnydearlove) reported from Middleton St. George, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Weve just moved house and are trying to install a new router but house connections look out of date. What is the best contact for someone to help with this as may need someone to come out?

  • Lorryolly Lorraine Ripley (@Lorryolly) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia so dissatisfied when I made a call to see if any reductions could be me to be fobbed off and advised I have the best package, the advisor was no help at all and clearly reading from a script. No bedside manner. And now my landline has suddenly stopped working!!!😥

  • wolfrubin Christian Wolf Rubin (@wolfrubin) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia The worst bit is that I was on hold for 36 minutes listened to the same song 3 times and then was hung up on.

  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia my WiFi is terrible. So slow and it’s meant to be the fastest. Regretting the switch at the minute

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Does anyone from your customer care actually ring you back? My newly installed so called fast WiFi has not worked correctly since install… Terrible product….

    @virginmedia your service is terrible mate can’t wait to switch .

  • amosshuttlecake Al #FBPE (@amosshuttlecake) reported

    @virginmedia All the other service providers are on here either helping their own customers or making new ones. Even Which has been posting help. And the press are having a field day. Virgin media really isn't handling this very well.

  • gambit3570 paul hughes (@gambit3570) reported

    @virginmedia What the ETA to get back to full service

  • WeeFud74 Wee FUD Vernon 🖕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 (@WeeFud74) reported

    @virginmedia Thank **** I never paid my bills to you. Bunch of charlatans. @Vodafone don't get cocky you're just as ****.

  • a_weir Andrew Weir (@a_weir) reported

    @virginmedia It’s not ‘intermittent broadband connectivity’, your DNS server is broken. Literally a fundamental of being an ISP. @VodafoneUK how quickly can I get 500up/500down installed?

  • LewLewDaLewLew Lewis (49-33)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@LewLewDaLewLew) reported

    @virginmedia for all this technical issue nonsense. I'm on 1000gbps. Could I have a hub 5 for compensation please.

  • mahie29 M (@mahie29) reported

    @virginmedia Shutup and fix your ****

  • HorsHorsfield Michael horsfield (@HorsHorsfield) reported

    @MichaelBarracl5 @virginmedia Unfortunately Mike, they get very poor reviews. Mrs was with them and it took her ages to get them to cancel her contract even after she had moved out!

  • JackDeeneyActor Jack Deeney 🏳️‍🌈 (@JackDeeneyActor) reported

    Hiya pals! 👋 Gonna cancel stream tonight as @virginmedia have been having issues and havent had consistent internet all day 🙃 Will try stream tomorrow night instead 💛

  • Rathilion James Woods (@Rathilion) reported

    @vmbusiness Why is the wireless backup not working. If I'm paying for this service, I expect it to work when the main service is down. Can I you please explain why this isn't working please?
