  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Yes but the number on the letter to text to just comes back fail to send. Then I rang 789 for my mam and this person had her in tears also, so we have give up.

  • DPhilipJones Daniel Jones (@DPhilipJones) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Me: “I’m going to have to cancel the contract as the landlord doesn’t want me to install the fibre optic broadband anymore” @virginmedia: “Maybe you should just buy the apartment, it’s not very expensive or anything” Confirmed. Virgin Media is Tory.

  • PaulGmedia Paul G (@PaulGmedia) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia My contract has expired and I’m wondering what options are available if I decide to sign a new one. Feels like it’d be easier to leave, tbh. I’m also moving house so wanted to discuss moving service to new address. I appreciate you’re busy, but it’s an absolute nightmare.

  • PaulGmedia Paul G (@PaulGmedia) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’ve done that and am now in a queue. Trouble is, last time I did this no-one ever called me...

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @louisewil86 @yanic1965 @virginmedia I'm supposed to be on 50mbs...nowhere near! What they dont tell you (any bband supplier) but my engineer does....is that the fibre cable only goes to your local substation box...then thru copper cable to your house ...so slowed down automatically!

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

  • body_mindfitco Paul Edgar (@body_mindfitco) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 6 days now without home Internet, landline and TV. No apology, no explanation from Virgin. Parents who rely on these communication lines. Terrible service.

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia If I go onto your mobile app I can never get into the info ...the icon just keeps swirling around & around etc

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia I wanted to cancel or down grade my package due to the rising costs and my partner being on furlough and my own business having to be closed but every way i tried to contact you i had no reply i was held in a que for 40mins and then cut off, i emailed still no response so i have

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Well it finally happened if you are not a online customer with virgin mobile and what shop at a outlet you are classed as the unwashed and not welcome anymore as a customer

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @louisewil86 @yanic1965 @virginmedia Refuse to pay for a month...any contract by law gives you 14 days to cancel!

  • Kristian7Ross Kristian Ross (@Kristian7Ross) reported from Morpeth, England

    @virginmedia Hi, you’ve blocked my grandmothers sim for reasons unknown and now she requires a new one. She received a text to say it has been sent out but it’s never arrived. Can someone please look into this for me?

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia amazing concept of telling people who have no Internet at home to log onto an Internet chat room to get help with getting their Internet back, do I get a refund for the data used to tether my laptop just to get access to customer service?

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia After 2 hours on hold I got through to a nice guy in the call centre, he couldn't work out the issue so I've got no Internet for 2 days until an engineer comes out. Love paying for services I don't get...

  • JJohnsonJourno Jack Johnson (@JJohnsonJourno) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Any one have a resolution for no WiFi connection? @virginmedia

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia So we are not just going to write it off as a bad job. Plus my mam finds it hard to understand the persons at the other end of the phone and why they ask for her bank details all we asked was to post out her password for her mobile account.

  • Baddoo Christopher Baddoo (@Baddoo) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any network issues in Newcastle upon Tyne? Our internet is down and can’t get through

  • evilwallpaper arc (@evilwallpaper) reported from Newburn, England

    Had to break out the DVDs like a peasant because virgin media is down.

  • georgina_jgr Georgina (@georgina_jgr) reported

    Bruh bc of @virginmedia It will be over a month I can’t stream. I hate u guys , delayed the fix again til the 9th. You lot are jokers

  • denise_salinger Denise Salinger (@denise_salinger) reported

    @virginmedia I thought it had been resolved when I last spoke to someone in the terminations dept and had to pay outstanding bill even though I had previously tried to cancel but he was insistent that it had to be paid to terminate. I have now received another bill. More anguish for us!

  • kkrish07 Kartik Krishnaswamy (@kkrish07) reported

    @virginmedia your network in SW7 has been intermittent for months now. It doesn’t work half the time. You charge customers heavily and are unable to provide a stable broadband network. Shame.

  • Muso14554911 Muso (@Muso14554911) reported

    @virginmedia Done all that not sorted. Virgin keep saying we are away of the issue and we working to fix it this is now over 4 weeks. Joke.

  • georgiamac100 Georgia Mackenzie (@georgiamac100) reported

    @virginmedia have the worst customer service-weeks with intermittent/no service and after 30 minutes waiting to speak to someone they cut me off. #virgin is right, they don’t know what they’re doing!Disgusted from London #worstbroadbandprovider

  • wisdomdacosta Wisdom Da Costa (@wisdomdacosta) reported

    @virginmedia I do but isn't there s security issue if I was to publish that on Twitter?

  • denise_salinger Denise Salinger (@denise_salinger) reported

    @virginmedia I have an email of payment but he said he was going to send me a termination email - which he didn’t. I am 70 and my mother is 91 and we don’t wish to get caught up in VM’s unscrupulous activités. Please help otherwise I will need to instruct solicitors.

  • Patrick13121759 Patrick (@Patrick13121759) reported

    @virginmedia what has happened to your broadband this year? It drops almost daily, there's a 2 hour wait to try to speak to somebody, and you never automatically refund when it goes down for a day. It's impossible to work from home and so frustrating. My postcode is se266un

  • GallearKirsty kirsty gallear (@GallearKirsty) reported

    @virginmedia This is still not sorted!!!! Absolute joke of a company worst customer service! I meant to be activating a new service in 2 days how is that possible when the correct equipment isn't sent!

  • rakb1889 Bish (@rakb1889) reported

    @hobsonschoice64 @virginmedia 1 hour 30 into being passed around like an idiot.
