    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Very much doubt it Mark; like I say- they have the market sewn up so can treat their existing customers with contempt.

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia can you help me with a broadband technical issue. I have 200Mb, power cycle the router daily and still by the end of the day end up with super slow speeds. Less than 1Mb tonight. Thanks.

  • MrPaulDH Paul Humphreys (@MrPaulDH) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia waiting waiting on the phone no internet at all now your Auto mated checking service says a problem need to speak to your CS. Waiting waiting 30 minutes now

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

  • hellsbells610 Hells Bells 🐧 (@hellsbells610) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I think there have been a few problems around where I live, but it seems to be ok now.

  • ll370 IanBurns (@ll370) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 2 weeks back with you and my signal keeps dropping almost every single day, best internet provider. I think I have grounds to terminate my contract. What a joke

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It's always 47.37 when it should be a straight £47. We do everything online and never get paper stuff to do with our package or billing

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It was for my internet and TV account. I've managed to do it on my housemates app as they had no issues with the app.

    Welp. #VirginMedia t'internet gone down *again*... "See what you can do"? Shove, it, up, arse -- springs to mind...

  • Sharon_THFG The Homework Fairy Godmother (@Sharon_THFG) reported

    @virginmedia Oh, and the app is not working, do can't log an outage. Your teams are working flat out? I think they're just flat out not working.

  • RicardoMc180 Ricardo McArdo 🖤🤍 (@RicardoMc180) reported

    @PeatedPete @virginmedia Mines been awful for the past 12 months...

  • pickled_tinker Grody🔞 (@pickled_tinker) reported

    @ChronicleLive @virginmedia Corrr, imagine how many VM customers are trying this "hack" today, because the actual hacks are back at it, this time breaking their network. @virginmedia your ISP blows chunks.

  • lee_raybould Lee Raybould (@lee_raybould) reported

    @virginmedia Completely unacceptable virgin media convinced your website is down so people can’t report outages and get some compensation three times in two months is disgusting

  • X_NosPopulus_X Natasha-Jayne (@X_NosPopulus_X) reported

    @virginmedia I think you probably need to dissolve at this point. The number of issues I've had in my time as a customer is insane, and despite complaints, nothing ever gets fixed for good, or even compensated. If you can't offer regularly uninterrupted service you shouldn't be offering it.

  • BenCumm48251083 Ben Cummings (@BenCumm48251083) reported

    @virginmedia @skytv will be rubbing there hands together right now,I for one will be leaving this awful provider,current customers getting 💩 on whilst they target new customer marketing.More chance of Putin going for dinner at Rishi's gaf than you have of me paying my bill! Vi💩gin Medi💩

  • zinnibun Zinnia (@zinnibun) reported

    @virginmedia get your actual **** together, you are posting cringe.

  • katfloydhair Kat Floyd (@katfloydhair) reported

    @virginmedia In 1 month and 2 days into our new contract which you started 1 months late and I'm still awaiting a complaint response and we have lost Internet for the 4th time. To say I. Regretting my decision to switch is an understatement.
