  • minkewales minkewales (@minkewales) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Dabooka @skybiggerpic @virginmedia It was my second attempt to be fair. First time they reduced the price rise to £1.50 per month, then I rang back a few days later to cancel. Found a better deal elsewhere but price was the driver for wanting to leave. Lovely @virginmedia agent was able to help!

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

    @virginmedia hi can someone help me with my broadband

  • trisgallagher Hot Acid Rhythms (@trisgallagher) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Every single day for the last week my router just turns itself off and starts to update or drops out completely. Paying a lot of money for this service and it just isn’t good enough.

  • GlocketCosplay ✾Bam Bam✾ (@GlocketCosplay) reported from Dunston, England

    Yeah great, I lose my TFT ranked after hard winning most of it because @virginmedia internet service goes down more consistently then most men.

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone else on @virginmedia getting “To Be Announced” on virtually every channel. Tried rebooting, switching on and off. Strikes me that VM has gone to shit recently. Loads of channels have gone, close to sacking it off.

  • Selwynsaint Selwyn St.Bernard🇹🇹🇬🇩 (@Selwynsaint) reported from Longbenton, England

    If @virginmedia offer you a 6 month free upgrade do not accept it. It is a way of locking you into a further contract. Poor service as always

  • neosalad neosalad (@neosalad) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Nice one @virginmedia I've missed all the 2nd half of the match now. No BB, no Tivo. And your still billing me a higher rate than was agreed when I did the tests which say no issues in my area. Tried resets.

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

    @virginmedia right you want to explain why my broadband is at 4mbps when there’s no “issue” in my area... hate to tell you there clearly ******* is

  • neosalad neosalad (@neosalad) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @SundSaeed @virginmedia Engineer booked for Tuesday. Not happy. No football! No @carltonkirby #homeofcycling AND NO xbox @GearsofWar times on Saturday NIGHT. TESTS SAY NO Issues. But there is issues. #NE6

  • Wardixo Jonathon Ward (@Wardixo) reported from South Shields, England

    Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

  • jameshedges4 James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I need someone to contact me immediately as I need to make a serious complaint about service. Completely ready to escalate to higher management as this incompetence of this company is a disgrace

  • andychristie999 ac (@andychristie999) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia over the last few years virgin media internet has got worse the people that work in the call centres are so abrupt and rude I’ve called approximately 10 in the last 5 months and still have a intermittent fault on my internet service !!!!

  • ThunderbirdWPC Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia The person that put me on hold said it looked like there was a problem in our area and tried to put me through to technical help but after music droning on for ages it just stopped. Have given up and watching a dvd instead

  • brtoon Brian Reid (@brtoon) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

  • toniaadiexx T (@toniaadiexx) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already spoken to someone on the phone who reset the network, but that didn’t work. I also tried re-starting everything and that also didn’t work, the box itself is very slow now also.

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Worst broadband and cable provider of all time.

  • NuttyRichie Richard Payne (@NuttyRichie) reported from South Shields, England

    Another blackout on @virginmedia

  • philippat Philippa Taylor (@philippat) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia good customer service , they asked if they could ring me back in 15 mins due to his PC not working , now 2.5 hours later and I am still waiting , tried ringing them back and been on hold for 28 mins now 😡

  • ThunderbirdWPC Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    Been hanging on phone to @virginmedia for 19 mins and then got cut off! Was 54 mins the other week. Do you think we have time just to sit around! Problems with tv service! Same yesterday in our NE16 area

  • NuttyRichie Richard Payne (@NuttyRichie) reported from South Shields, England

    @MrChrisWynn @Simon21ne @virginmedia @nowtvhelp @SkyHelpTeam I managed one week before cancelling! Sky says I have so many devices that it’s slowing the hub down, in 2019 that’s piss poor

  • AlexHeighes Alex Heighes (@AlexHeighes) reported

    @virginmedia Broadbands down in N8. When will it be fixed?

  • rawiz Zaid Rawi (@rawiz) reported

    @virginmedia It sounded like Avonline were very slow to do their own approval for night work according to their staff. And why keep coming back without arranging approval. Have they even arranged anything with the council yet? Your own Virgin surveyors thought it was easy

  • robbo_1912 Robbo (@robbo_1912) reported

    @virginmedia Same issues I’ve been having since I joined you 5 years ago Never logs in, change password screen just goes back to an old one Can’t actually do anything you want to, it’s awful, surely you already know that

  • YvonneT2022 Yvonne T (@YvonneT2022) reported

    @virginmedia I have been a loyal customer for many years. I have a virgin mobile contract, media and broadband. @richardbranson thanks for offering customers broadband that is super fast. #virginmedia #broadband #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek

  • _outdoorfanatic Nick Canham (@_outdoorfanatic) reported

    @virginmedia Not a thing, it's awful

  • MyPhoenixFTA PhoenixFTA ∆ truly 3.5% 🇪🇺🇩🇪🌍 FBPE (@MyPhoenixFTA) reported

    @virginmedia I need @virginmedia to comply with EU customer protection laws & honour customer rights, not hang up on 9 out of 10 calls, not rig the system against customers to make it outrageously cumbersome to cancel a service, refuse to email payment requests or contracts... Is that enough?

  • TotoroRan91 らん~☆ (@TotoroRan91) reported

    @virginmedia There's a fault in the area, since yesterday! This happens way too often for the price of your service!

  • Ballstocancer ***** to Cancer (@Ballstocancer) reported

    . @virginmedia when are you going to sort the problem in Coseley? It is causing big problems for us?? 24 hours you said, 48 hours ago!!

  • Sineadk60144380 Sinead kelly (@Sineadk60144380) reported

    @virginmedia virgin media are cutting my 82 year mother who lives alone phone off. Customer for as long as virgin media has existed. No point ring customer service as they are waste of time and the call backs I am meant to get never happen

  • MyPhoenixFTA PhoenixFTA ∆ truly 3.5% 🇪🇺🇩🇪🌍 FBPE (@MyPhoenixFTA) reported

    @virginmedia Taking calls from home that cannot be monitored apparently was regarded as an opportunity by this misogynist to throw any customer etiquette out the window. Rude, belittling, uncooperative, denying reasonable requests. It got worse from there. That's atrocious and unparalleled!!
