  • PaulGmedia Paul G (@PaulGmedia) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia My contract has expired and I’m wondering what options are available if I decide to sign a new one. Feels like it’d be easier to leave, tbh. I’m also moving house so wanted to discuss moving service to new address. I appreciate you’re busy, but it’s an absolute nightmare.

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia If I go onto your mobile app I can never get into the info ...the icon just keeps swirling around & around etc

  • Dxrpiii Dxrpii_ (@Dxrpiii) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @virginmedia Will you please sort your **** out, 7 times my internet has dropped for 30-60 seconds it’s so frustrating pay for the best broadband available and have to put up with this 😡

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia great customer service tactics, tell people theres going to be a long hold time, when they get to an hour on hold just hang up on them because they clearly don't need Internet any time soon...

  • RachelDMcDonald Rachel MCDonald (@RachelDMcDonald) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia internet has been off for at least 5 hours if not longer. Estimated fix time is now and still nothing..... sr4 area. When will this be back on!!!???

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Yes but the number on the letter to text to just comes back fail to send. Then I rang 789 for my mam and this person had her in tears also, so we have give up.

  • Dancoat1982 Dan Coates (@Dancoat1982) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia is your broadband down completely in #NE5 any idea when will be working???

  • Nattalingo Nathalie Paris (@Nattalingo) reported from Consett, England

    @virginmedia How will this please be different from the service I have had so far? Will someone competent ring me?

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @louisewil86 @yanic1965 @virginmedia I'm supposed to be on 50mbs...nowhere near! What they dont tell you (any bband supplier) but my engineer does....is that the fibre cable only goes to your local substation box...then thru copper cable to your house ...so slowed down automatically!

  • body_mindfitco Paul Edgar (@body_mindfitco) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 6 days now without home Internet, landline and TV. No apology, no explanation from Virgin. Parents who rely on these communication lines. Terrible service.

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia Hi...obv you have taken notice of my post re cancelling contract of one of your ex subs.Its Law!! Re my service..i'm wired from reuter to pc & tv then wifi to mobile & tablet obv...im happy with virgin tv but bband signal pc & wifi altho "50mbs" is slow ...NOT good enough!

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Well it finally happened if you are not a online customer with virgin mobile and what shop at a outlet you are classed as the unwashed and not welcome anymore as a customer

  • DPhilipJones Daniel Jones (@DPhilipJones) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Me: “I’m going to have to cancel the contract as the landlord doesn’t want me to install the fibre optic broadband anymore” @virginmedia: “Maybe you should just buy the apartment, it’s not very expensive or anything” Confirmed. Virgin Media is Tory.

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia After 2 hours on hold I got through to a nice guy in the call centre, he couldn't work out the issue so I've got no Internet for 2 days until an engineer comes out. Love paying for services I don't get...

  • JJohnsonJourno Jack Johnson (@JJohnsonJourno) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Any one have a resolution for no WiFi connection? @virginmedia

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia amazing concept of telling people who have no Internet at home to log onto an Internet chat room to get help with getting their Internet back, do I get a refund for the data used to tether my laptop just to get access to customer service?

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @louisewil86 @yanic1965 @virginmedia Refuse to pay for a month...any contract by law gives you 14 days to cancel!

  • Baddoo Christopher Baddoo (@Baddoo) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any network issues in Newcastle upon Tyne? Our internet is down and can’t get through

  • Scotttate1990 Scott Tate (@Scotttate1990) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia issues with WiFi signal NE32 area. Been off and on all night, no known issues on website

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia So we are not just going to write it off as a bad job. Plus my mam finds it hard to understand the persons at the other end of the phone and why they ask for her bank details all we asked was to post out her password for her mobile account.

  • Project_HB_ Carly // Project HB (@Project_HB_) reported

    @virginmedia This is why I don’t want a we chat with you to be honest. Every conversation is dragged out over several excruciatingly painful hours. First hour: placated with niceties. Second hour: promise to fix it. Third hour: reassurances. When the engineer arrives 2 weeks later: WRONG!

  • sionmattey18 Sion Mattey (@sionmattey18) reported

    @virginmedia middle of client call AGAIN and internet cuts out. Why am I paying for a service that doesn’t work. Please don’t tell me to contact someone I’ve done it a millions times.

  • emilly_fleece Emily Horner (@emilly_fleece) reported

    @virginmedia Great so I'm back where I started after wasting more time and there will be no resolution. I'm sure your complaints procedure is as effective as your customer service. #virginmedia #dontusevirginmedia

  • NatalieRobert22 Natalie Roberts (@NatalieRobert22) reported

    @virginmedia are up for the chop, the service is terrible, there is no Internet, forget about talking to ppl. I am already looking elsewhere, done with their bs. #wouldnotrecommend #virginmedia

  • jeanettesloan Jeanette Sloan (@jeanettesloan) reported

    @virginmedia Tried that number throughout yesterday - it’s always engaged. I course I would ring on my landline - but it’s not working. Hence the tweet.

  • PaphitisGeorge George Paphitis (@PaphitisGeorge) reported

    @virginmedia Is it possible I get a call my self. I don’t have time to talk over text message. This issue should have been resolved from the time I spoke to someone.

  • NinInfamous Nin Infamous (@NinInfamous) reported

    everyone has gone out gives me time to turn off and on the virgin media router such bad lag still

  • dpjohnston10 Darren Johnston (@dpjohnston10) reported

    @virginmedia I don’t think I’ve ever received a poorer service than yours. Trying to arrange installation of broadband and give you my custom and just being fed lies and let down every time. Can anyone actually help?

  • JacksTweeeets Jack (@JacksTweeeets) reported

    @virginmedia how do i get in touch ASAP when we chard not working?

  • barlows_wonky_I Mark Stephens (@barlows_wonky_I) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, I'll give it a try later this afternoon when I get home. Though that number yesterday said there was no outage in my area when there clearly was.
