  • stephwales_ S t e p h . ♡ (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Great what deals you can get when you ring to cancel your contract 👍 @virginmedia a very helpful Hayley in your call centre. Paying less now for more than double what I had before.

  • barbarafoggo Barbara Foggo (@barbarafoggo) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Wow @virginmedia amazingly poor customer services on many levels. Not your best moment @richardbranson

  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I will@go@to ofcom and I will chaffe you for my hourly rate for any time expenses on this disgraceful approach to customer experience when I’ve been a loyal@customer for 15 years

  • GarYoung Gary Young (@GarYoung) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia just the most horrific service ever from you. Your agent agreed a discount due to poor service and to stop me leaving. It now transpires the discount is at the expense of skysportsHD which we did not agree. I’m now having to take it to ofcom because no one can help

  • leewhttngtn Lee Whittington (@leewhttngtn) reported from Hebburn, England

    Never felt so left down by @virginmedia after years of being a loyal customer my bill has increased by £20pm for no extra services when I rang to cancel I was offered £1 discount! To say I was insulted is an understatement, shocking service loyalty counts for nothing!!! Cancelled

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia It would help if you read the thread and the attached screenshot. I did email with specific requests under gdpr. That was forwarded within VM and I got a generic dismissive reply which didn't even acknowledge the queries. Further eroding trust in VM

  • ozwaldo1985 Craig Osborne (@ozwaldo1985) reported from Wallsend, England

    @LouisRoss67 Virgin Media box up to 2 and a half minutes tonight, switched to Apple TV and I’m down to about 20 seconds

  • wal_tastic Christopher Walton (@wal_tastic) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia right how do I going about getting a new router, I've had mine for about 4ys and it keep on dropping signal from phones!!

  • barbarafoggo Barbara Foggo (@barbarafoggo) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I really don’t think you can. Please provide me with an email address for the complaints department. I will write a full and detailed email and if no resolution I will forward my complaint to Ofcom.

  • hilly_1986 Iain Hill (@hilly_1986) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Say no known issues. Wired is fine but WiFi all over the house is shocking! Tried moving the hub but can only go so far as it’s restricted by the wires.

  • lukejameson17 luke jameson (@lukejameson17) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia honestly get a ******* grip@of your WiFi man ******* joke if my tv has a known problem in my area. Why ******** Is my WiFi ******* down then *****

    @virginmedia Yeah & someone promised to call back last week & they never. We’ve had no broadband since yesterday & it keeps acting up

  • ktowers74 Karen Towers (@ktowers74) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my internet isn't working in NE25, are you having issues in this area 😥

  • mrspag47 Elizabeth Pearson (@mrspag47) reported from Stanley, England

    @BT_Openreach can I ask why a 0161 number rings me every day (foreign accent) states he's open reach when apparently this is virgin media!! I hang up

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    More issues with our broadband again today @virginmedia I don’t think we’ve had a full day off broadband for months 🤬 #timetocancel #wasteofmoney

  • edginggodout Darren Leigh Arkless (@edginggodout) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @_simonlambert @GECFrost you said it about virgin media. Maybe it’s just me (King in waiting) but when I speak to customer services a “firm” stooge e.g nice but dim wills intercepts the calls to attempt to mentally turn me over. They are sinister AF. Now I’m locked out of iPlayer

  • M_RashidAmin Mohammed Rashid Amin (@M_RashidAmin) reported from South Shields, England

    @vmbusiness I’ve send a direct message. Im absolutely angry and annoyed by the situation today. Worst customer service experience.

  • 1lynzi1 lynzi owens (@1lynzi1) reported from South Shields, England

    Not sure who I spoke to @virginmedia but gota say she was really helpful. Top customer service 👍
