  • Stevedey Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported from Newburn, England

    @GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.

  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    You lot need to sort yourselves out, Internet going down around midnight for the past few days yet you charge the earth @virginmedia

  • tenchylad Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I did the online thing before contacting u it says needs a tech . But it doesnt it needs your outage fixed .

  • PatternThimble Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    @bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

  • jamie_davison1 Jamie Davison (@jamie_davison1) reported from Seaham, England

    My wifi and 4g at home is absolutely garbage, sort your **** out @virginmedia

  • KiddEdan Edan Kidd (@KiddEdan) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia two nights in a row the internet goes down, yous are a bag of shite

  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    **** off Virgin Media, useless bollocks

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)

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

    Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

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

    @virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

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

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • AzureSpark Mike (@AzureSpark) reported

    @MyNwo @andy_ambrose59 @virginmedia Prior to my issue on a direct connection to router, not wifi, my speeds were on average 550 consistently. In the last 3 weeks I have barely been getting 10% of that speed. Technical help said its the router that they dont have in stock

  • carlmarston Carl Marston (@carlmarston) reported

    @virginmedia So is there an update on when we get the service back?

  • tweettweet49 Big Bird (@tweettweet49) reported

    Wtf is the point of being on Virgin Media if the internet is always down ffs

  • laineyrun Elaine Rundell (@laineyrun) reported

    @Ellwebb32 @virginmedia Constantly paying for services that can’t be used. Looking at alternative options. I’ve been a customer for many years and it’s getting worse now. Replies are just a standard one sent out. It’s shocking the price we are paying for very poor service

  • hayleyed74 Hayley Edwards (@hayleyed74) reported

    @virginmedia I'm wondering if its a bigger issue than @virginmedia?? My mobile data won't work either..... @ThreeUK

  • M_Bee1 m_bee (@M_Bee1) reported

  • Dare554144m Sanjay Chauhan (@Dare554144m) reported

    @virginmedia Unacceptable. My wife and daughter work from home and can't as services are down. Both going to loose pay as they have deadlines to honour.
