  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….

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

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

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

    @virginmedia Excuses excuses but no resolution how long will it take 2 days since incident raised and waiting for contact back as instructed why would I waste my day calling incompetent people when someone is trying allegedly to sort it Same old crap customer service

  • adamappleby Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Can I win a TV service that works (Thursday 2nd Dec it's been off since) , or internet with no huge drop outs please? Or a link that works to fix anything. #AllIWantForChristmasistheserviceipayfor

  • Chickawacka Phil Byrne (@Chickawacka) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

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

    @virginmedia Why can't you just deal with by dm and resolve the issue

  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

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

    @virginmedia No customer service just ignore customers

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

  • SimonBewick Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • Neil_Rivelino Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia my V6 boxes have stopped communicating with each other (in reality downstairs is talking to upstairs but not vice-verse). Anyone who can help?

  • Deggsytweets Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England

    @BurnleyJo @virginmedia Yea they’ve got issues with certain channels

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

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Still down now, can work from Catch Up or my recordings, but nothing live as there are no channels. Drop outs in WiFi too. Not great.

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

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

    @virginmedia genuinely shocked at this service. Been with you for less than a month, and you've just binned off my internet for a day and refuse to speak to me about it? What is going on in N1... and how do you expect me to work until 4pm???

  • RochieS7 S (@RochieS7) reported

    @virginmedia internet and tv down again!! 😡. Never any reduction on the bills though!!!

  • Raeoxoxo Rae xoxo (@Raeoxoxo) reported

    @virginmedia I still haven’t had a response to my email. One of your team members said to send photos via email. I really need some help. Saturday I sent the original email 5 days ago. Please can someone help I have sent the email multiple time even with different email addresses but nothing

  • ClareeyShearer Clarence (@ClareeyShearer) reported

    @virginmedia is it normal for your customer service advisor just to hang up on people? Asking for a friend of course 👀👀

  • JuliePlummer5 Julie Plummer (@JuliePlummer5) reported

    @virginmedia Have done this. I won’t let this drop . I hold out no hope atall. Abysmal service .

  • AndyTijou Andy Tijou (@AndyTijou) reported

    2. How @virginmedia see's spending caps: This mug, I mean customer is running out of data, he's set a spending cap thinking that that's going to stop him running up a massive bill, but, Giles in legal wrote a brilliant bit in the small print meaning that the spending cap is...

  • terryofcrete Terry Cahill (@terryofcrete) reported

    For as many years as I have VirginMedia broadband I have always had a signal in my garden. None now, so I complained . They told me 25/30 ft. is the range … a guy explained all the tech stuff .. wow ! I asked the simply question .. why did it work before but not now .Hard one

  • U2justmeKT Mrs T, aka KT #ATYCLB (@U2justmeKT) reported

    @ColinJMorgan @JonAshman2 Funny you should say that Colin, for years we have had no problems what so ever with @virginmedia but since our new neighbours have moved in and they have virgin, our wifi has been shocking. Xktx

  • BenRouse01 Nuk3zzGaming▶️ (@BenRouse01) reported

    @virginmedia Hi the WiFi keeps cutting out for one so I have been using my data on my phone most of the time and wired connection isn’t any different it keeps cutting out and when it does work the speeds are super slow
