    @virginmedia I don’t care anymore, it’s been like this since installed, both service and customer care @virginmedia are a waste of space that I have no more time for you and your shit service are getting no more of my time 👎

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It's always 47.37 when it should be a straight £47. We do everything online and never get paper stuff to do with our package or billing

  • hellsbells610 Hells Bells 🐧 (@hellsbells610) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I think there have been a few problems around where I live, but it seems to be ok now.

  • sarahmiles82 Sarah Miles (@sarahmiles82) reported from Hebburn, England

    My love for @virginmedia is growing and growing, said no one ever! Was promised a phone call between 8.30-10.30am on 28th January and still waiting for the call after three emails later and still not replied.... Love when a companies customer service is amazing! #Sarcasm #Fuming

  • billgibbon Bill Gibbon (@billgibbon) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your continued support. All’s clear today - and your colleague on the phone said they would monitor the situation and let us know if anything needed to be done. Lots of examples of this happening online. Putting it down to just being another victim.

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It was for my internet and TV account. I've managed to do it on my housemates app as they had no issues with the app.

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia can receive emails cant send 2months now but said my phones fault and have to pay fix it. Emails not part of package

  • Bodmall Bodh (@Bodmall) reported from Shiney Row, England

    @virginmedia 20:00 and just about to watch a film with the family but no internet hadn’t gone down again gg Virgin

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia kept changing my password then said if phone they charge me . My son has same problem but send emails on phone through gooogle

  • billgibbon Bill Gibbon (@billgibbon) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    It seems our landline number has been spoofed - have received dozens of calls responding to a request to call back. Have reported this to a helpful @virginmedia, but finding out ‘advice’ online pretty useless. Sit and wait it out seems to be the solution.

  • hellsbells610 Hells Bells 🐧 (@hellsbells610) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia are there issues in the Gateshead area. Broadband keeps on going down. Tried turning hub off/on, but not helping.

  • bruceallinson Bruce Allinson (@bruceallinson) reported from Gateshead, England

    @SkyUK Thanks but you charge way too much especially for BT Sport (can’t do without my Moto GP) I might go back to BT Vision, they are rubbish with broadband dropping out as well but not as shit as @virginmedia has been

  • TheToon1892 ⚽NUFC 1892⚽ (@TheToon1892) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Done all that, there were no issues prior to upgrading. My speed is a quarter of what it was.

  • bruceallinson Bruce Allinson (@bruceallinson) reported from Gateshead, England

    What a surprise that shit @virginmedia TV, Telephone and Broadband have all gone off again bet you still take my money for your #poorservice your product is a joke!
