  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I called the help line and a bot told me to restart my router twice and then proceeded to end the call. Little fed up

  • 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

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia Technical support to discuss slow speeds

  • ChrisJ94_ Chris Johnson (@ChrisJ94_) reported from Wallsend, England

    . @virginmedia rang virgin last week to move house. You've done the external install yesterday but haven't turned up for internal install today. Tried to log into my account and it says my package is cancelled no options for support at all. Called and hung up on before answer.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia And it has just cut out again and your bot via the number above just said restart the router and put the phone down on me. Slightly concerned that it lasted 5 days again and decided to come back to disconnecting?

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

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

  • 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.

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    First day as a @vmbusiness customer and been waiting nearly 13 hours for a delivery, that hasn’t arrived… #greatstart #herewego

  • TraiAnfield Trai Anfield (@TraiAnfield) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

  • jwilko_87 Jonathan Wilkinson (@jwilko_87) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your internet service in Gateshead for the last few days has been terrible. Keep losing connection here 🙄

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

    @virginmedia I have called them twice today still having issues

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

    @virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • danieljohnallis Daniel Allis 🇬🇧 (@danieljohnallis) reported from Gateshead, England

    @lxwissssss @MartinEdition @virginmedia Mine is excellent once they replaced the wiring because it was old and now mine never goes off and it’s super fast! The English call centres are great but the Indian and Philippines ones are really bad I avoid them because they just read off scripts!

  • 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!!!!

  • mmcvickers Michael McVickers (@mmcvickers) reported from Consett, England

  • mizzpennydreadf Liffey valley of the Dolls 🔮💊🛼 (@mizzpennydreadf) reported

    @_busdevpeep @virginmedia Good luck getting out of it. I can’t get through to anyone to get out of mine. They won’t pick up the phones and tell me to write to closed centres. I got one response to a letter to say we will be in touch....crickets. They are the worst.

  • SkyserUK Skyser (@SkyserUK) reported

    @virginmedia Why ring us on a service call and hang up when you can’t answer a question? Now holding on phone 22 mins to follow up / resolve / complain. This follows 2.5 hours on webchat last week with no success. Account holder for over 20 years, reaching end of tether @ofcom

  • Ash_spurs A Brown (@Ash_spurs) reported

    @virginmedia ? Service checker? John? If your talking about the link from the text it showed nothing. All I want is an engineer here,been without wifi now forever, its a joke, I now want refund too 4 paying 4 something I'm not getting and no customer services. Still no call back 5 hours now

  • memcalea_maire Maire Cubbin (@memcalea_maire) reported from Wallasey, England

    @virginmedia on phone last night for nearly 3 hrs trying to resolve a speed issue 16 not 350!. Promised a phone call today which didn’t happen ( again ) . Now on hold waiting for over an hour again . Have contacted Ofcom for advice as this is surely a breach of contract

  • SharonMC68 KrazyKiwi (@SharonMC68) reported

    @virginmedia Still not on.... longer off (and trying to get connected) than on.... @virginhelp @Virgin trying all sorts of contacts here... just to get some service both wifi/internet AND customer service...

  • EllenHa76793466 Ellen Hall (@EllenHa76793466) reported

    @Missbrown2006 @virginmedia No problem. Unbelievable the advert managed to get this far

  • jedmyster1 Jedmyster (@jedmyster1) reported

    no stream tonight as virgin media are so crap... 4 times in the last hour and half it gone off.... sorry guys

  • AnnMc63 Ann McLaughlin (@AnnMc63) reported

    @virginmedia It seems to have settled but sometimes there is a lag between on demand and catch up working. Connectivity issues?

  • ad11783 Blandy (@ad11783) reported

    @virginmedia The last time I called @virginmedia I was talking to someone 4500 miles away, his reply to my query about the pricing model was “I’m sorry you can’t afford it, do you want me to cancel?” Errr no I want a fair price in comparison to a new customer. Service is great just the cost!

  • pauljfarmer1 paul farrmer (@pauljfarmer1) reported

    @virginmedia That inward being passed onto another team who could help with my issue.
