    @virginmedia @ChesnoidGaming Virgin , impossible to call with issues but instant reply on Twitter

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

  • beyond_vinyl BEYOND VINYL (@beyond_vinyl) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia my phone and broadband is down (#NewcastleUponTyne city centre) we are in a pandemic and I have nothing else to do so need internet!! Any idea when service will be restored??

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Cramlington, England

    @virginmedia why can’t I get through on the phone to cancel my broadband ? I’ve also been in the queue for hours in online Chat, ridiculous customer service

  • 1slandmonkey Benjamin Spurling (@1slandmonkey) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

  • DavidField1987 David Field CBCI (@DavidField1987) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have had a house love booked for two weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and I’m going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

  • Andygclark Andy Clark (@Andygclark) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia would like to thank you for your customer service. Over 15 years of money from me. 50% price rise. I would like to leave please. No problem. All booked for you. Good bye. Wish I could afford to treat my customers like that.

  • paulm844 Paul Marshall (@paulm844) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    WHEN MY @virginmedia CONTRACT IS UP IM OFF TO SKY. Enough of this ****.

  • chrissielouenid Chrissie (@chrissielouenid) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia poor service strikes again !

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

    @virginmedia your WiFi and service is a disgrace. Constant outage, hopeless WiFi range, unreachable "support". And now you're putting my bill up? Utter joke.

  • HebburnCurly Mark Wilson (@HebburnCurly) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hi, can I add a telephone line to the broadband package that I already have? Looked on your webpage and it’s all bundles with no option to add anything to the service I already purchase

  • DavidField1987 David Field CBCI (@DavidField1987) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have had a house move booked for 2 weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and now going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @panzerfaust81 Any chance we can cancel as your customer service team hang up after waiting an hour on hold? Sick of your dreadful service. Please contact me as this is a joke. Need to leave due to moving home and you make it even harder @Ofcom

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can reply since your customer service department have just hung up after waiting an hour to get through. So sick of your terrible customer service hence why i want to leave. #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice #cancellation

  • Jacq_Critch Jacqueline Critchley (@Jacq_Critch) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

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

    @virginmedia There are no issues in the region apart from your appalling service.

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

    Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

  • iYogaBody Tatiana M Newton (@iYogaBody) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia it’s simply Disgraceful! As @gmail email user I CAN NOT logging into my own account to check my bill- is it even legal?? After 1 hour of ohone convo with @virginmedia agent my problem is not solved and I’m back in the loop 🔁

  • nufcscott1968 graham scott (@nufcscott1968) reported from Dunston, England

  • LollyTrueCrime Lolly's True Crime World (@LollyTrueCrime) reported

    @virginmedia Very disappointed with @virginmedia we ordered a phone and broadband and got just broadband we tried to ring in and despite setting a password we were told it was wrong!! Literally no help from the rude customer service department

  • sheen74 shaun gale (@sheen74) reported

    Hi @NetflixUK my new @virginmedia package is inclusive can I cancel my direct subscription without issues?

  • lewisjameshurst Lewis (@lewisjameshurst) reported

    @virginmedia @djkivas Virgin you must do something different other than only have a phone call as an option to cancel. Disgraceful

  • Flanican Scott 🇺🇦✌️❤️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏳️‍🌈 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@Flanican) reported

    We moved house and there was a @skytv dish already there. We were fed up with @virginmedia's customer service so jumped at the chance to move to Sky. Big mistake. Virgin is so much better. The box, the menu, the channels, much better. We'll be changing back first chance we get 😕

  • Met_Head Rob Wills (@Met_Head) reported

    @virginmedia so for a second time in 3 nights my virgin media internet connection has dropped out for over 4 hours and yet the service status tells me nothing is wrong, what the **** is going on guys?
