  • 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 😡

  • TaylorBurgen93 Taylor (@TaylorBurgen93) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia your customer service team is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard! Routers not working switch off then back on... it’s broken I can book an engineer for Saturday....

  • sheeshkebab Ian K (@sheeshkebab) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’m not after any account info though, so no need to go through security. Neither of my parents are very technical nor do I have access to the device showing the problem.

  • 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.

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Longhirst, England

    @crokakaar @virginmedia Try calling them for help if you've got a spare few hours to waste.

  • 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...

  • MarcusRoberts13 Marc (@MarcusRoberts13) reported from Morpeth, England

    @robhinds @mark395625 @virginmedia It’s always baffled me how existing customers don’t get decent deals when you’re showing loyalty by staying with them. It’s the same with all utilities and when they say you have to CALL to cancel it turns into a nightmare

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Longhirst, England

    @virginmedia This is so, so bad.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • Tony_Hodson Tony Hodson #coach (@Tony_Hodson) reported from Ponteland, England

    @virginmedia 1. Why the neighbour would not have the same issues when the ‘issue’ is your automated phone system is beyond my comprehension! 2. It is not a neighbours responsibility to resolve a phone issue for the bill payer. 3. Through an internal contact I now have an engineer visit bkd.

  • tenaka66 Paul 'The View' Carver (@tenaka66) reported from Cramlington, England

    @virginmedia poor service

  • 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.

  • Northlander74 𝔖𝔱𝔢𝔭𝔥𝔢𝔫 𝔍. 𝔍𝔞𝔠𝔮𝔲𝔢𝔰 (@Northlander74) reported from Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, England

    @virginmedia Absolutely not, I'm not a customer, plus your service doesn't come this far north anyway

  • MountArmy Champions Of Europe 🏆🇵🇰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@MountArmy) reported

    @virginmedia why aren’t my GIFS and videos not working on Twitter 😡

  • PaulaJHowarth Paula Howarth (@PaulaJHowarth) reported

    @virginmedia #virginmedia so, no engineer till Thursday because they won’t employ and pay the people they need to fix the problem! And, to top it off they’re going to charge ME for disconnecting because I obviously want to go to another provider! Court it is!

  • themightyrb rb (@themightyrb) reported

    @virginmedia sort this content is not available issue, it’s been going on for days now

  • DeanLester DeoExilesCOYS77 (@DeanLester) reported

    @virginmedia 100% worst broadband provider can't wait till contract is up so can change

  • WycherleyDarren Darren Wycherley (@WycherleyDarren) reported

    @virginmedia Hey again @virginmedia As i suspected. I posted my complaint where you told me to, and no one from Virgin interested. Lots of helpful advice from customers, but no help. This is easily the worst ive ever been treated by a company.

  • leosdaya karina 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇷 (@leosdaya) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, I did that and it’s still not working. I don’t have a virgin phone contract. I am only contracted for broadband. When will it get fixed? It’s ruining my experience on this app.

  • CelticDylan9 Davie O'Brien (@CelticDylan9) reported

    @virginmedia Have already answered this to say that the parental control has been checked and isnt an issue.

  • RoseMullarkey rose mullarkey (@RoseMullarkey) reported

    @virginmedia One of the endless online chats identified that I needed an updated modem and said to ring the 150. However when I spoke to various people yesterday they were all adamant that my internet was either fine or that they had resolved the problem.

  • WilkinsonJamesD James Wilkinson (@WilkinsonJamesD) reported

    @zx_spectrum_30 Woah, getting to space is way, way easier than trying to cancel or complain to @virginmedia

  • MatthewW191 Matthew Wright (@MatthewW191) reported

    Once again @virginmedia has gone down. It's becoming an utter joke.
