  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Nice adverts for your content, shame my recorded delivery complaint about my issue originating in MARCH (after three failed online submissions and pointless texts) has still not been acknowledged,been ignored,treating a customer as a piece of 💩 way to go 👏🏻

  • alistairoates alistair oates (@alistairoates) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Please if you’re providing a terrible internet service don’t use the phase, ‘Oops. Our bad’

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

  • peterat50 peter atkinson #FBPE (@peterat50) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone thinking of dealing with @virginmedia don’t their customer service is woeful . Another hour wasted trying to contact them 😡

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

    @virginmedia, you've text me a link after your phone robot tested my equipment, the link doesn't work. This has been on going for 3 to 4 weeks. I've been paying for a service I've not been receiving. I need to speak to an actual person!!!!

  • L88HRS Lee (@L88HRS) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia are there network issues in NE29? My wired connections are working fine but WiFi is having none of it on any of our devices!

    @virginmedia This was just on the wireless network - have just spoken to someone at home and they've said it is back to normal 👍🏾🙌🏾

  • managediot Managed IoT (@managediot) reported

    @virginmedia Hi John please sort this abysmal service out

  • FranCarnell Fran Carnell (@FranCarnell) reported

    @virginmedia £90pm. Had no tv service now for 10 days. You keep extending the 'fixed by' date. No info anywhere. No way to contact an actual human being or technician. A feedback bot that won't communicate due to 'unforseen circumstances'. Your customer service is a disgrace.

  • FleeDoubleE Paul McDonough (@FleeDoubleE) reported from Halesowen, England

    @virginmedia Get this page after I log onto my account page. Which I'm trying to log onto so I can do a service check. I've cleared the cache and tried from my laptop get the same outcome

  • Conservative_JA Jack 🇬🇧✡️ (@Conservative_JA) reported

    Virgin Media’s **** WiFi has gone down which means I’ll probably be unable to “attend” my online lecture. Another reason this method of learning isn’t sustainable.

  • daverees1983 David Rees 🏳️‍🌈 🦫 (@daverees1983) reported

    @virginmedia It did, was an area problem, we are back up now a little after 24 hours of blackout

  • philmann06 Phil Mann (@philmann06) reported

    @virginmedia Sim is in. Phone shows the network. Can receive text messages but when I call out . It says calls to this number are not currently being connected

  • RaviStato85 RavSM (@RaviStato85) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there, I am at work now but this morning the speeds we were getting was extremely slow, usually getting 250-300mbs but this morning it was 10mbs...

  • SoumyaMalik20 Soumya Malik (@SoumyaMalik20) reported

    @VirginMediaIE @virginmedia On hold waiting for the manager to assist since 1.5 hours. Manager refusing to take call and says will call after 48 hours. Let’s grow up manager, come up with something else to ignore the issues. Shame Virgin Media Ireland. SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME!!

  • M_ills_ Orangutan Cop (@M_ills_) reported

    @kentlivenews I literally just want the freedom to choose if I want or do not want a service. I don’t have Virgin media but a bloke from virgin doesn’t turn up at the door demanding that I show proof I don’t have it.
