  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @anemoneproject @virginmedia @virgeinmedia The account is suspended now. I'm going to guess a disgruntled customer!

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    For all the poor sods like me who had nothing but trouble today! #VirginMedia #Virginmediaoutage

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I am sick of contacting yourselves regarding it. Your company does not seem to know which department I need to speak to. One minute It's customer care, then movers, then disconnections, who pass me back to customer care. #notaclue #virginmediasaga

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Back up and working again I look forward to the next time your service fails - the worst service I’ve experienced since the demise of dial up internet and party line telephones 👎

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia And our Virgin TV has failed again your service truly is shite and a waste of my money looks like we are left with terrestrial TV through our always reliable tv aerial again you should be deeply ashamed of your outrageously poor service 👎

  • Clarquey Simon Clark (@Clarquey) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Hi @virginmedia. Trying to call, text, WhatsApp my wife today attempting to sort out our children etc and completely unable to. My contract has just been increased. Pretty shocking service and I'm paying more! I would expect some compensation at the very least 😡 #VirginOutage

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia And no I can’t match it Virgin Media fails almost every week, we have a whole other level of shit service compared to you 👎

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia So another tonight wasted last night on the phone to all your departments and still no resolution. Still trying to make me pay your staff's mistakes. #virginmediasaga #thieves

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    Looks like @virginmedia are just as rubbish as @BTtv their rubbish service has been failing all night making watching catchup TV a right pain looks like I need another provider

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It was just internet TV that day but today all your services telephone, TV (all channels) and the broadband are repeatedly failing - no idea why I get billed for such poor service I mean the phone FFS do you think it’s 1984!

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia I didn’t miss your point I just do t agree with it - if we pay for service everyday it should work every single day. I do not consider any failure to be a good service

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia I changed to Virgin because BT would drop out regularly in the middle of the Moto GP. Used to have a great service with Sky but they charge an extra 30 something quid for BT Sport

  • gilly562 Gill Anderson (@gilly562) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia no virgin mobile service, can’t make calls, can’t text or receive. No 4G. Been like this for an hour!! PLEASE CAN SOMEONE AT VIRGIN RESPOND!!! Lots of unhappy customers

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia @jeffsprogress It didn’t work for a day and you think it is a great experience and good service. With that attitude no wonder we get such a shit service

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia We asked at the time of there was any money outstanding and we were told no. We were never told it takes 30 days to cancel. Again poor service from yourselves. I don't have the complaint number no as your staff keep hanging up

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I have the App but having it confirm what I already know is no help whatsoever. Instead of investing in Apps that confirm your service is not fit for purpose why not invest in providing an unfailing service to customers. Currently you take money for services you can’t deliver

  • gordysocceruk gordon (@gordysocceruk) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia How long is this outage going to last been off for neatly 4 hours.

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    Things that have happened in the time it takes for @virginmedia to resolve a complaint. #Royalbaby has been born, #Liverpool beat Barca, Maya got caught on #Emmerdale, #iran have threatened to change their #nucleardear. #virginmediasaga

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Cancelled the account on 28th or 29th March. Was told by one of your staff members that the service would be cancelled immediately and that #virginmedia owed us just over £70. She also cancelled the direct debit, agreed to send a cheque for the balance to an alternative address

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No sorry I'm meaning the Internet on my virgin mobile phone is slow

  • BatgirlRocksxo Gem (@BatgirlRocksxo) reported

    @virginmedia No, didn’t know there were issues in the area. A lot of households in the area lost wifi around 9am this morning, which is when this “work” began, supposed to have finished by 3pm but we still can’t get online. Router is solid green line or flashing green line and green arrows.

  • Kat_Bee_123 KatB🐝🐝🐝 #WomenWontWheesht (@Kat_Bee_123) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely shocking service from virginmedia. No services since Saturday lunchtime. Failed visits numerous calls, cut off. Not called back when promised. Told lies by call centre worker.

  • gazsax Gary Saxby (@gazsax) reported

    @virginmedia hi guys can you confirm if you are having any broadband issues in the SM4 postcode. Your email says it’s fine then issues then fine again.

  • CreasyEmma Emma Creasy (@CreasyEmma) reported

    @virginmedia Just adding to issues for my complaint to CISAS - promised a web chat at 6, shock I’ve been sent nothing

  • HeyItsAlexM Alexxx (@HeyItsAlexM) reported

    @virginmedia I have spoken to them and they had no idea either. potentially I have someone calling me in 48 hours to let me know if i can have my account back but other than that. "Im no longer a virgin media customer" So I'm a little bewildered

  • janice_leese Lyn Janice Leese (@janice_leese) reported

    @virginmedia Well enough is enough Virgin Media like everyone are accountable. You seem to give out new contact as a sweetnern but they never happen. Let’s see what your competitors do. As a very loyal customer was with cable tv when was Nynex. Back in 1990’s. I am taking this public

  • Piranhafish70 Valerie 🇮🇪 (@Piranhafish70) reported

    @VirginMediaIE trying to buy a new phone and check what's on offer on my plan. No matter what I do to sign in to "My Virgin Media" it won't let me log in. Any idea??

  • HeyItsAlexM Alexxx (@HeyItsAlexM) reported

    @virginmedia My mum was a customer since cable & wireless. When she died I had to move so I transfered the account to my new home thus making me a new account holder. I'm honestly so embarrassed but stressed out that I wasn't notified about either restriction/disconnection

  • POpEyedWazza POpEyedWazza (@POpEyedWazza) reported

    @virginmedia Look at my tweats and come back to me! Im not repeating myself. Could you possibly even help or are you the ants of the company who have a laugh at your customers. Sick b@#£%Ds

  • dipikask3 Dipika (@dipikask3) reported
