  • Marilyn_huartt Marilyn malibu (@Marilyn_huartt) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

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

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

  • Andymorris74 Andrew Morris ⚽️ (@Andymorris74) reported from South Shields, England

    How about @skytv giving movie channels for free across all platforms @virginmedia @bt_uk and help keep people at home! Come on, do your bit Sky TV 👍

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

  • 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

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    .@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia You having service issues in NE15 7PH

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I keep getting message that blueyonder server is down and as such cannot log into VM or get and send emails

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia emails are not working the solution by Virgin is to log into My virgin media can you tell me how to do this when it is not recognising my log in and your call centres are all closed

  • 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

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia what has happened with the service in ne33 4hn area as I have no phone line no internet and no tv service

  • Dyl_Atkinson Dylan Atkinson (@Dyl_Atkinson) reported from Washington, England

    Virgin media are not stupid like give everyone 10GB free data then nock everyone’s WiFi off so they go over there allowances😂

  • 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!

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia three times since I first reported that I was having problems with all my services and it has gone down again

  • TonyYoull TY I 92 (@TonyYoull) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Shouting at Virgin Media on the internet work fix the problem. Pass it on

  • vitosauras Helen #RacingForAnthoine🇧🇪 (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    Hi @virginmedia sort the Internet issues out in NE10 please that's twice my connection has dropped in the last hour

  • 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.

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

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

  • kieranwby_ Kieran (@kieranwby_) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia absolute rubbish service. Broadband disconnected when I didn’t request it. Now have to wait until tomorrow although was told 2 hours initially. Can’t work. Son can’t apply for his job. Can’t watch TV.

  • jason84woods Jason Woods (@jason84woods) reported

    @virginmedia No outage, engineer may have created a new problem, he was sent as a last ditch to resolve our multiple issues. He hasn't so now we can leave fee free and thankfully return to the excellent @SkyUK

  • NDERSAP jj™️ | BITCHEE DAY (@NDERSAP) reported

    virgin media fix your ****

  • TyTalksTechblog Tyrone Tech Talker (@TyTalksTechblog) reported

    @virginmedia Was a long time customer to the point I had Telewest and one of the first fibre users in my area. Went to BT this year due to price Increases and extremely poor customer service from Virgin.

  • chriscowle11 Chris Cowle (@chriscowle11) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks.. can I raise a total loss of service for the day last week, yesterday and assume today also. Still not working. If not resolved today, I won't be able to work tomorrow.

  • _Jontis_ Jontis (@_Jontis_) reported

    @GamesWithTea @virginmedia I have the exact same issue, its a common occurance, right now a wired PS5 is getting 12mbs out of 200mbs.

  • Elise__Jones EJ🌿 (@Elise__Jones) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp It's not a fault problem! We have spent over an hour on the phone only to be told nothing can be done until Thursday when the new tennant's activate their account! Sales team tryna make money, it's disgusting this has happened twice now. So much for working from home.

  • tcedwards1990 Tim Edwards (@tcedwards1990) reported

    @virginmedia We’ve moved to a house supposedly connected to your network. The broadband is not connected and we’ve been told that the earliest a technician can get to us is Wednesday evening. Meanwhile my partner cannot do her job for the NHS.

  • ReserveRon 🅡on 🅡eserve (@ReserveRon) reported

    @virginmedia So essentially we’ll wait thirty minutes with a blank screen listening to ‘we know the #BAFTAS are important to you...’ I’ve NEVER experienced a worse level of customer service.
