    @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

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia is your broadband down in this postcode NE261AG plz

  • 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

  • mightymagpie99 mightymagpie99 (@mightymagpie99) reported from Newburn, England

    @damieng5 @garethmck1987 @virginmedia @NETGEAR I agree. I have the same set up . With Virgin SH3 no wifi signal to conservatory. With Orbi mesh network wifi everywhere in house & in the garden too. Costs a bit more but woryh it IMO.

  • 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

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Very much doubt it Mark; like I say- they have the market sewn up so can treat their existing customers with contempt.

  • 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 @virginmedia the Royal baby will have his own baby before you sort my issue out or answer the phone #virginmedia #virginmediasaga

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia service down phone lines closed internet fecked no apology you are a disgrace #virginmediasucks #getyouracttogether #feelsliketheft #customerserviceisnil #whereismyrefund

  • 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

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

  • 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

  • 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 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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 🤬

  • 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

  • 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.

  • siomhaithmhic Irene Megaw (@siomhaithmhic) reported

    @virginmedia She shouldn't have had to do that. Issue solved now as she is now in a care home! Not easy for an 81 year old to get a new number!

  • tochianu Tochianu (@tochianu) reported

    @virginmedia I just joined and the internet is intermittent and the Wi-Fi doesn’t cover the whole house. It’s disruptive to my work and everything else. I didn’t have these issues with my BT. It’s meant to be faster and I’m barely experiencing any benefits

  • jennidurant22 Jenni Durant (@jennidurant22) reported

    @virginmedia So another seven hours? Like I said initially an absolute joke of a customer service department. Are you going to pay my phone bill for all these calls? Pay my time for all the time I've waited? My hourly rate is £50. By now you owe me more than your cancellation fee

  • living_cheerful 'Big Al' 🇺🇦 (@living_cheerful) reported

    @virginmedia awful service. Problems with Internet and no engineer avaliable for 9 days! Quick to take money, really slow to sort problems. Time to change provider I think.

  • YeOldeMMRF A miserable motor racing fan (@YeOldeMMRF) reported

    @chrislepkowski @virginmedia I've had no problems with it at all since investing in a WiFi mesh system. I find I'm also getting close to the speeds they're advertising too. It's revolutionsed WiFi here.

  • chrislepkowski Chris Lepkowski (@chrislepkowski) reported

    @stevewollaston @virginmedia Flaming hell. Just noticed we have an issue in the whole area...

  • chrislepkowski Chris Lepkowski (@chrislepkowski) reported
