  • 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.

  • fossdog_ Jake Fossey (@fossdog_) reported from Stanley, England

    @virginmedia are genuinely ******* shit

  • 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

  • RobbyRSSRobot Robby (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Just checking as it calls me your customer and I'm not! 🤣

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • julieclayevents Julie Clay (@julieclayevents) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Don’t forget to cancel your @virginmedia @skytv package!!!! #nofootball 😢

  • 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

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

  • 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

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia every month I have the same issue. Go to pay bill and despite having Google auto password (which works on every other thing I log in) it says my log in is wrong and I have to reset it EVERY MONTH!! EVERY MONTH!! IT'S RIDICULOUS

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

  • 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

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia .... 0420 and still no service 😡😡😡😡😡

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia It all started as a Blueyonder customer in the '00's.... But actually, no, best not...

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

  • MajorManor lee major (@MajorManor) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia You having service issues in NE15 7PH

  • dodgestweet Matt Dodge Donnelly (@dodgestweet) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

  • jessopshel Shelley Jessop (@jessopshel) reported

    @virginmedia Are there issues with broadband this morning? Even your website isn't working well and I can't run a test. Have re-booted twice.

  • Suze_Handley Sue Handley (@Suze_Handley) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I have no internet, I can’t check my status on your website as that’s not working either “server stopped responding” and your phone lines are experiencing telephonic difficulties. No text message to say there’s an outage. Update would be great please.

  • J35P1N J35P1N (@J35P1N) reported

    Come on now @virginmedia , the internet has been down since 1am this morning when I went to bed and it's still down. You've had 7 hours to fix this. Hope you are going to reimburse people on their contracts. Unacceptable service. #virginmedia

  • nibsuk Nibs (@nibsuk) reported

    @StevenHowe @emmalunn @virginmedia Mine has just come back on, so they might have started to get the problem under control

  • ToonFleet Toon Fleet (@ToonFleet) reported

  • LongCovidHell Dame Sa 🐝 3.5% (@LongCovidHell) reported

    Why is @virginmedia silent on the about the widespread outages?? Website down and nothing about it on social media. These things happen, but it’s how you handle them. We need updates! People need internet for work, education and so many other things. #VirginMediaoutage

  • woodsandhills Señor Flard (@woodsandhills) reported

    @virginmedia haven't been able to access my #WiFi for some hours now. Wife has her online yoga class now and can't deliver it. Many unhappy clients and an hour of earnings lost - thanks for that. Not a level of service I expect from Virgin broadband after price hikes.

  • therealdaverich Dave Richardson (@therealdaverich) reported

    @virginmedia hike up the prices to “improve” infrastructure, then refuse to acknowledge there’s a nationwide problem. Been with you for years, more expensive than most, your customer service this time round has underlined your contempt for customers. Will look to leave. #virgin

  • NotSoP3ng P£NGY (@NotSoP3ng) reported

    So Virgin Media was down no net nothing but as soon as the phone lines opened at 8am suddenly the net and everything comes back on and everything is connected again did someone just turn everyone’s **** off last night for a laugh @virginmedia 🤔
