  @GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.

• 
  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 2 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

  Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

  Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported 18 minutes ago from Walker Gate, England

  What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 24 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

  @virginmedia @virginhelp what the hell is going on I don't have any data no phone calls nothing help please got use my home internet

• 
  David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 25 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

• 
  Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported 28 minutes ago from Chester-le-Street, England

  “You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

• 
  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 36 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

• 
  Mike Moody (@classicm) reported 43 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia All my tv, broadband and phone services are down. Nobody available from Virgin to help. Done all the usual checks and still off.

• 
  JOP (@40yearsofhurt) reported 50 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

• 
  Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported 53 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

• 
  Iinton Smith (@lintoniosmythe) reported 54 minutes ago from Chester-le-Street, England

  @virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

• 
  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 58 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

• 
  David Gerrish (@DavidGerrish) reported 19 minutes ago

  Misleading email @virginmedia saying I can watch Champions League Final for free. Seems I can’t. Now my son is in tears and he thinks I’m a terrible Dad.

• 
  Mr Nash (@Nasher6328) reported 20 minutes ago

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Under UK law (primarily the Consumer Rights Act 2015), broadband services must be provided with reasonable care and skill and be of satisfactory quality. A complete outage lasting 7 weeks is almost certainly a breach, giving you the right to end the contract and seek a remedy (like cancellation without penalty or a refund for the affected period). Virgin Media participates in Ofcom's automatic compensation scheme for total loss of service (no internet at all via wired connection). You should already be getting ~£10.34 per day automatically after the first 2 full working days of reporting the fault. This doesn't directly let you cancel penalty-free, but it supports your case.

  Rhys (@vickdawg92) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia when is this wifi issue going to be sorted ******* **** show from you as a company 10 days at least now which started as a global issue to a local issue to a software issue to a problem with a box near me which still hasn't been sorted dates keep getting pushed back

• 
  Adam Weston (@textmaniac78) reported 22 minutes ago

  @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia I got told once and I don't know if it works but if you ring up and upgrade to another package it's classed as a new contract so you can cancel within 14 days maybe worth looking into doing that

• 
  Melina Kakoulidis (@MelinaKakoulid7) reported 27 minutes ago

  I am wondering on what is wrong with customer services advisers at @virginmedia Why would they ask me for my monthly price & when I tell them £27 I then get asked for my email address which I gave and then immediately after my email address confirmation they again ask my price

• 
  Adam Tracey (@adamtracey8) reported 28 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @scoobiesue82 Tried everything you have recommended @virginmedia and still have the issue. It is only with Big Bang Theory on TLC channel 128. Can we get an update on this

• 
  Melina Kakoulidis (@MelinaKakoulid7) reported 28 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Can customer services agents @virginmedia be more human and less computers please? The customer services agents needs to listen on what is being said. The minute a phone call goes off script the agents are so confused and doesn't know how to speak and listen

  @EdwardJDavey I watch it free on Virgin Media who are allowing free access to finals. Last final. But there are bigger issues in the country! You are just a poodle for the PM!
