    @virginmedia Advertises the best fastest and most reliable internet you can get but all you get is buffering. Tried to call support team all you get is automated options, please select your option blah blah and all you get is we will send you a link. I want to speak to a human!

    Louise Donaldson (@Loulameg) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    Having an absolute nightmare with @virginmedia on the phone since Thursday and still no further forward, the staff literally just tell you anything to get you off the phone. Anyone know how I make an official complaint? We’ve had no services for days now

  • mark770
    Mark Walker (@mark770) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia how can you justify levying £25.00 charges if fail to cancel a "now resolved" tech visit but you fail to reciprocate the gesture when YOU cancel a visit and fail to notify the customer with the cancellation being due to an "outage" at your end? Shambolic&insulting

    Hey @virginmedia your WiFi down yet again, third time this week. I’m in TS16 but suspect we are not alone #virginmediadown

    @DanWalk32531219 @virginmedia Just checked at 2am, finally back up again, though poor speeds on a speed test, hopefully will improve by the morning 🤞

    2 calls on landline from Asia, using dummy UK phone numbers, pretending to be from Virgin Media, telling me of a problem with the security of my router. Neither liked it when I told them their mother and father would be deeply ashamed if they knew what their son was doing.

  • beck5ter
    Jason N Beck (@beck5ter) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I have been one of your customers for years. We have broadband (used constantly) TV (never switched on) Telephone (only Virgin call it)

    Anyone else virgin media Internet down billingham?

  • Shaunelious
    Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I’ve cancelled the visit but why should I have to call back in the first place to cancel a visit I didn’t agree to? I wanted it adding to my initial complaint or raising separately but no one was interested. Cancel my contract

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

    @virginmedia Can you improve the stability of your broadband and make massive improvements to your customer services (like actually introduce some sort of customer service)?

  • WheezyRider44
    Matt Greenfield-Westcott (@WheezyRider44) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia But this has gone on for months, not days or weeks. It can't be that difficult to identify the problem and find a solution.

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

    @virginmedia Mainly wireless but wired issues too

  • smarshallphoto
    ScottPhoto (@smarshallphoto) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @gracedavies I had a dream that I Met a Boy Online was used by Virgin Media in a TV advert, and you got paid a ****-ton of money. Does that count?

  • simonmp68
    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

  • roytomo1970_roy
    Roy1986UTB (@roytomo1970_roy) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I've been on hold four 1hr 20 mins. I need to cancel my account. Please reply

  • mark770
    Mark Walker (@mark770) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia JS, have you taken the time to read the thread through? It would appear not as your previous colleague intimated that you would be looking at auto-comp issue when I notified you that the issue had been resolved though you mentioned nothing about that.

    Chris #FB #ProEU#Rejoin#BLM#GTTO,NHS 💙 (@citamo) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia @justwearmasks Instead of employing robots in your impossible to contact call centres and ripping of the public for your shareholders, set up a proper system of customer care which is accessible, helpful, considerate and capable of fixing customer problems quickly and competently.

  • SimonHolliday13
    Simon (@SimonHolliday13) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately it's still not fixed. No TV and no Internet. Both keep dropping in and out intermittently. Which is better than zero service yesterday and I may finally finish that book on conscription I bought in Leeds earlier this year.

    Hannah (@HannMarieRose) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia midway through the last episode of #SilentWitness and my virgin decides to go down, couldn't of timed it better if you tried 😫😫

    leave us alone (@AdrianBoarder) reported

    @IainSankey @virginmedia Depending on the 5g service where you live I purchased a £100 5G router and an EE unlimited data sim for £20 a month. I’m not in an especially good area for EE 5G but I still get 80-100MB download and 2-10 upload which is more than enjoy for me.

    @virginmedia why can a new customer get a better deal than someone who's been with you for years???....one way to lose my custom that's for sure

  • HannahJM1806
    HJM (@HannahJM1806) reported

    @virginmedia @alexand979677 Yay, let’s all mess about trying to sign in to the app on your laptop, to find a HDMI cable, plugging that bugger in and then hoping to all things holy that it actually connects whilst missing the first half of the game you’re trying to watch as opposed to Virgin actually fix it!

  • nicolajames38
    Nicola James (@nicolajames38) reported

    @virginmedia I have reported 7 times now I need damaged cable burying under hardcore as having tarmac being laid tomorrow and still the Indian call centre cannot sort out my problem!!!! Unreal and past a joke now - customer service is shocking and I want a call back from England

  • _DundeePerfect_
    A.Brown (@_DundeePerfect_) reported

    @timtam1888 @heid_the_baw_ @virginmedia The problem many have with connection Speeds in other Rooms has partly nothing to do with the size of the Router, it is down to using wifi and not wired by Cable. All rooms for best results need wired, my own wifi I can't even get sat outside my own House never mind game with it.

  • conjuredundead
    Conjured Undead 🧟‍♂️ (@conjuredundead) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, please help me further, by please looking into my issue and communicating clearly the fault and rectification plans.

    Rob Heneghan (@robheneghan) reported

    @virginmedia when do you plan on fixing the red button sky spots + issue??? I can’t pick what games I watch on line. I don’t want to watch tv on my phone and I don’t want to DM you. Me and many others simply want to know when you plan on fixing the issue

    Virgin Media News (@VirginMediaNews) reported

    Several videos of reckless driving remain available online, despite TikTok saying it is moving quickly to remove this type of content. Coimisiún na Meán has asked the platform for a “full account” of what has been done about material linked to the deaths of five teenage boys, after their car was driven the wrong way down the M9 motorway. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY
