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

    @virginmedia I have had a house love booked for two 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 I’m going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @panzerfaust81 Any chance we can cancel as your customer service team hang up after waiting an hour on hold? Sick of your dreadful service. Please contact me as this is a joke. Need to leave due to moving home and you make it even harder @Ofcom

  • Andygclark Andy Clark (@Andygclark) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia would like to thank you for your customer service. Over 15 years of money from me. 50% price rise. I would like to leave please. No problem. All booked for you. Good bye. Wish I could afford to treat my customers like that.

  • HebburnCurly Mark Wilson (@HebburnCurly) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hi, can I add a telephone line to the broadband package that I already have? Looked on your webpage and it’s all bundles with no option to add anything to the service I already purchase

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia There are no issues in the region apart from your appalling service.

  • 1slandmonkey Benjamin Spurling (@1slandmonkey) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Cramlington, England

    @virginmedia why can’t I get through on the phone to cancel my broadband ? I’ve also been in the queue for hours in online Chat, ridiculous customer service

  • beyond_vinyl BEYOND VINYL (@beyond_vinyl) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia my phone and broadband is down (#NewcastleUponTyne city centre) we are in a pandemic and I have nothing else to do so need internet!! Any idea when service will be restored??

  • iYogaBody Tatiana M Newton (@iYogaBody) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia it’s simply Disgraceful! As @gmail email user I CAN NOT logging into my own account to check my bill- is it even legal?? After 1 hour of ohone convo with @virginmedia agent my problem is not solved and I’m back in the loop 🔁

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia your WiFi and service is a disgrace. Constant outage, hopeless WiFi range, unreachable "support". And now you're putting my bill up? Utter joke.

  • chrissielouenid Chrissie (@chrissielouenid) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia poor service strikes again !

  • 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.

  • ITINTERACT2 Rob Turnbull (@ITINTERACT2) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia @ChesnoidGaming Virgin , impossible to call with issues but instant reply on Twitter

  • Jacq_Critch Jacqueline Critchley (@Jacq_Critch) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

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

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

  • paulm844 Paul Marshall (@paulm844) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    WHEN MY @virginmedia CONTRACT IS UP IM OFF TO SKY. Enough of this ****.

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

    Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

  • 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!

  • iamronniee_ RONNIEE (@iamronniee_) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I understand that but the service has not been good we've had issues for years had someone out multiple times to fit a booster it's been awful, customer service from who I spoke to on the phone was rude, we are not happy and will be making a complaint.

  • BaggieFans Baggie Fans (@BaggieFans) reported

    Not football related, but does anyone else’s Virgin keep dipping in and out whilst working from home 🤬 Happens every week and the website says no known errors @virginmedia

  • PeelSolutions Peel Solutions (@PeelSolutions) reported

    Apologies to anyone trying to contact us by phone 📞we are having technical difficulties. We have been having internet issues since Friday with NO HELP from @virginmedia unfortunately! 6 times we have been cut off now whilst calling for support, unacceptable!

  • amscrocs ceara (@amscrocs) reported

    @virginmedia the wifi keeps going on and off all the time, and it’s just bad in general, is there an email that I can contact?

  • thegoju Abhi (@thegoju) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you for your apology. It would be good to get the issue resolved instead. Since you have asked no details off me, I can only imagine that this a rather hollow response. So perhaps the best method would be to tweet every day until the issue is resolved?

  • Phil__Gilbert Phil Gilbert (@Phil__Gilbert) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried several times the last few weeks to reset my password and despite trying every possible new password it won’t accept it. As a result I cant access my account to make any changes. Can you help?

  • JamesTurner37 James Turner QC (@JamesTurner37) reported

    @virginmedia Can you please tell me what number I should call to terminate my contract?

  • harris05_j james (@harris05_j) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I thought the same however her English did seem a bit broken. The street doesn't have service with you but 2 Streets down does. I was told on the phone that a spotter would ring as they may be able to get me hooked up.

  • seanfurey Sean (@seanfurey) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. I’ve reported the issues previously but nothing has come from it. It’s not particularly fair that I pay full price for a service that regularly has faults. How do I do about reducing my monthly bill or get compensation of some sort.

  • kettykcals m4x :D | Ɛd twt (@kettykcals) reported

    **** virgin media wifi they can literally sug my ***** ur so **** so so so so so **** ive had to turn my wifi on and off 10 times in the past 3 hours just to have it work we had a guy come and replace the old wifi box to fix it but it pretty much changed nothing ffs
