  • TrackScotti Shaun Harrison (@TrackScotti) reported from Darlington, England

    The @virginmedia Hub 3 (and I understand the 4 is just as bad) is a shocking WiFi offering. Any more than 10-15 items on it (not a lot considering what homes have connected these days) and it drops WiFi often! Ethernet connected devices are fine, yes, but not a good look !!

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Yes that’s fine, I offered to send it back but I was told to use it until the call was listened to. Can you check on the progress of the complaint

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia M125, it’s terrible, it’s always going down, if we are both wfh we need to turn any devices off to be able to use our work laptops

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Out of contact & another £8 was added. My account for the free booster another complaint was logged. But no one has called me back. Can u DM me to have a look into this

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia I called up about 6 weeks ago about the poor quality of the wifi, I was offered another booster free of charge. Then I received an email to say my bill was going up by £15.someone said they would listen to call, no one got bk 2 me & I called the other day & was told I was out of

  • Ben_McBean You're a cantaloupe ÂûDHD (@Ben_McBean) reported from Yarm, England

  • RBullockITV RACHEL BULLOCK (@RBullockITV) reported from Eaglescliffe, England

    Hey @virginmedia your WiFi down yet again, third time this week. I’m in TS16 but suspect we are not alone #virginmediadown

  • NevilleLishman Neville Lishman (@NevilleLishman) reported from Durham, England

    5 hrs now. Just rude @virginmedia just rude. Clearly little of your astronomically charges is spent on your customer service department. It's a recruitment Sargent for @skytv

  • Gurudarlington Guru Boutique (@Gurudarlington) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia The number I wanted to retain is at my private address not my work address which is shown on this Twitter account. I doubt the number is still live with BT and I feel let down.

  • Gurudarlington Guru Boutique (@Gurudarlington) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia I’m the home owner Beryl Hankin, and was told the phone number would stay the same when I changed. I queried this with the Virgin engineer who rang Virgin and assured me it was in hand. That was weeks ago but it never happened.

  • TownsJake JAKE (@TownsJake) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia No i just been disconnected so this is another 2 hours wasted, i just want to cancel my services now

  • TownsJake JAKE (@TownsJake) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia has the worst customer service by an absolute stretch, been trying to sort my broadband and tv out for about 6 hours

  • pauljacques83 Paul Jacques (@pauljacques83) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Been in my new house 13 day and for the third time tomorrow I have a @virginmedia technician coming out to 'fix' my wifi. Fingers crossed this one actually takes and it's third time's the charm

  • StricklandPaula PH NQOT (She/her) 💙 (@StricklandPaula) reported from Shildon, England

    Our @virginmedia package - both TV and broadband- has been really poor lately. Totally frustrating 😑

  • Wathey Shaun Wathey (@Wathey) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia how do I make a complaint?

  • 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!!!😥

  • 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

  • ddphotograph Dominic DEAN 📸 (@ddphotograph) reported

    Its like living in the dark ages here in Kent. No internet from @virginmedia and no phone signal from @o2

  • Dd_iyi DanUyi (@Dd_iyi) reported

    @virginmedia I am being bombarded by your sales agents trying to sell one package or the other to me in disguise to extend my contract. Immediately I tell them about the poor service, they hang up the phone right away. I'll advise people to avoid virgin media -they are out for the money.

  • serhat_ay_ Serhat Ay (@serhat_ay_) reported

    @virginmedia Doesn’t make any sense,it’s like that for like 4 months-never get stable broadband connection.Even except that auto message there is nothing doing,even didn’t asked where I am reaching from!I still texting this reply from my bloody mobile internet! Virgin Media-never ever again!

  • JellyIvy Ivy Mukherjee (@JellyIvy) reported

    @virginmedia @statusisdown virgin media internet is down since last night. its the 3rd time happening in the last 2 weeks. The customer support team is unhelpful to say the least. Engineer was supposed to come last weekend, but never showed up and never sent a single communication. Why am I paying so much to you if you are going to be down for days?
