    Peter 🐈🎸🕹️🍺♈ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia It was working fine, then went off and came back but the hub was flashing green quite quickly. When it renegotiates it's usually slow and steady green flash but this was really quick

    @virginmedia Having a hard time maintaining why I’ve remained so loyal. I’ve been going through a little bad time and ask for help as you publicise only to be treat like a third class citizen. Not happy my problem needs sorting today

    Mark Armstrong (@mark001282) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    @virginmedia It's been going on for 8 weeks. I'm going to document this all and put it online for everyone to see how poor you have been. It's so stressful and you are doing nothing to help

    SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia My services are suspended. I am housebound,no tv no internet. I only ask for an extension to further my services for one week but company rules and non-existent customer service is really upsetting me. I’ve been a loyal customer and feel betrayed

  • UKLightCreation
    Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia You won't process it as I am not willing to pay for 30 days of no Internet as the hub has almost zero range even if my line issues are resolved

  • AllpointsTV

    Big Al H (@AlanHewitt10) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia how do you have the front to increase my bills by nearly 20 percent and yet your service has been awful lately. In the morning my tv broadband and landline is going. And my mobile will not be renewed.

  • Sarahlw_95

    @virginmedia is it normal practice for your employees to shout at customers down the phone and then hang up?

  • UKLightCreation
    Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia No, just continue to ignore me as they have no idea how to fix it

    @virginmedia have got to be the worst Customer Service I've ever had to deal with. 9 days of no internet, no email or text communication from them on the repairs, endless phone calls to them, missed engineer dates, rescheduled engineer visits without being informed. THE WORST!

    @JohnTho10402150 @virginmedia Agreed. We settled down to watch Top of the Tops only to find we now don't have BBC4 or BBC3.
