  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia can you explain to me why you tell blatant lies in response to a complaint

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

  • SafcJamieG Jamie (@SafcJamieG) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia They raised a complaint and nothing was done about it, they probably didn’t even listen to the call where I was sold the product, if they did it would have been dealt with

  • LeslieBrown953 Leslie Brown (@LeslieBrown953) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Wish virginmedia could do something about all the scam calls, I am an virginmedia customer and we are receiving. Had about 30 scam calls just this last week.

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Your having a laugh my download speed is 0.03 mbs and its still crap!!!!

  • panicdragon8784 Panicdragon8784 (@panicdragon8784) reported from South Shields, England

    @BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have called them twice today still having issues

  • amymccordx Amy McCord (@amymccordx) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia how do you log a complaint? It’s made impossible. Emailed the ceo weeks ago and no response

  • nufcscott1968 graham scott (@nufcscott1968) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia is there an outage on the network? Can't make calls and no data connection?

  • MarkCarruthers_ Mark Carruthers (@MarkCarruthers_) reported from Wallsend, England

    What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

  • RWileECoyote Rob Wylie (@RWileECoyote) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi a few folks on our street keep experiencing drop outs of WiFi signal in the middle of the working week, a few of them have made contact with you but no issues are being found, and you don’t seem to be able to help? but there is clearly an issue?

  • alicen0rt0n alice✨ (@alicen0rt0n) reported from Washington, England

    THE WORST customer service @virginmedia, should be ashamed of treating loyal customers the way a member of staff has just spoken to my mam

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I seem to be having BB connection issues here!!!

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Its the wifi thats gone down. I am currently using a wired connection.

  • DavidField1987 David Field CBCI (@DavidField1987) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have had a house move booked for 2 weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and now going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

  • Lucy__Hedley Lucy Hedley (@Lucy__Hedley) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I was told that I would be called back by a manager #lies Now due to further incompetence you have cut off my Internet & phone service. Claiming that I haven't paid a bill when there's a direct debit set up! #diabolical service. I've never been treated so poorly.

  • lalabiso Mollichella💙 (@lalabiso) reported

    @virginmedia Issues with on demand not working. Some apps work like iplayer, but can't view any on demand stuff. Reset fixes for a few days then goes down again. Have tried everything you can suggest.....

  • adamantannie Anne Christine Smith (@adamantannie) reported

    @daphnemotivates @virginmedia No it’s not you. I consider myself a very loyal customer but went over to Bt because of poor communication. BT service heaps better.

  • JosipaRaic Josipa Raic (@JosipaRaic) reported

    @virginmedia I did, says no known issues. But WiFi is not working since this morning. I only have green power light on my hub3

  • dori2o Stuart Daughtry (@dori2o) reported

    @virginmedia And what about recompense to me??? Every time YOUR network goes down I have to use my Mobile Hotspot. I've been charged almost £90 over the last 12 months on mobile data just so I can work when YOUR network fails. How can I claim this back??

  • StevenWhite52 Steven White (@StevenWhite52) reported

    @virginmedia my internet is down in KT17 can you check what’s going on please

  • VolfMech Volf (@VolfMech) reported

    Little help @virginmedia ? Coming up to an hour, this is the longest drop out so far. Last few times it was a few minutes.

  • scholes_4_utd Steven 🇾🇪🔰🪐☀️ (@scholes_4_utd) reported

    @virginmedia internet down in belfast ?

  • Frakbuddy Chris Bell - Pod Lords Victorious Podcast! (@Frakbuddy) reported

    Day two of the great internet fix. Now four days without internet and now the new modem/router (if it is new) sent to me today isn't getting any power. Back on the phone with @virginmedia. Le sigh.

  • dori2o Stuart Daughtry (@dori2o) reported

    @virginmedia Why not just report these problems up the chain. Surely VM know how many downtime hours in OL2? If its constantly breaking down why not get it fixed properly instead of sticky plaster approach? We pay enough for it, so we deserve a reliable service!!!

  • Frakbuddy Chris Bell - Pod Lords Victorious Podcast! (@Frakbuddy) reported

    @virginmedia I don't unfortunately but could easily send my account number via DM if you want. Did get help from Jack yesterday at first line for broadband who was very helpful too.
