    Hey @virginmedia #DontFundGBNews or i terminate my contract with you.

  • 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

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia What an absolute shower of **** your customer services are, goodbye don’t contact me again!

  • 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

  • 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 🙏

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia poor service strikes again !

  • 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

  • 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??

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia broadband constantly disconnects, contacting you via phone is a total waste of time. How do I get this issue sorted?

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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 🔁

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • ITINTERACT2 Rob Turnbull (@ITINTERACT2) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

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

  • 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.

    @RegGBlinker @virginmedia This and them storing passwords as plain text and seeing no problem with that after bringing it up a few times with them, was the reason I left them. Life has been better! Have a superb trip! 🎉🎉

  • rhyssuxx rhys (@rhyssuxx) reported

    For anyone following my virgin media torture, it’s down again in my area and isn’t being fixed until 4pm tomorrow aka after my shift at work 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

  • conor_bakhuizen conor 🌹 (@conor_bakhuizen) reported

    @virginmedia hi there I’ve cancels my account a month ago, do I have to cancel my direct debit personally or does it get cancelled automatically, thanks

  • Miikkeed Mike (@Miikkeed) reported

    @DowndetectorUK virgin media appears to be down

  • _ccroberts Claire Roberts (@_ccroberts) reported

    @virginmedia how do I contact someone for help with my account? When I try to see my bill it tells me I’m not the main account holder. There are 3 usernames for my account but none of the allow me access to my bills.

  • woolhatwoman woolhatwoman (@woolhatwoman) reported

    Well, the @virginmedia broadband came back on. I think it's my link to the wifi repeater that's at fault because OH reckons *his* broadband never went off - his computer is upstairs right beside the router and right next to where the line comes in ... so, yeah.

  • Rich_smith1980 Richard Smith (@Rich_smith1980) reported

    @virginmedia I have had my services restricted again and it's around £145 is there a minimum amount to get services working again as I'm not able to pay £145 I rely on your service due to my disability and been basically housebound regards Mr R Smith

  • PrizedAmalgam PrizedAmalgam (@PrizedAmalgam) reported

    @jayrayner1 @virginmedia Terrible customer service: easy to sign up to, a nightmare to be a customer of and impossible to cancel without hours on the phone and significant 'charges'. Never use a provider who doesn't submit to proper ombudsman regulation...

  • adam1903_ adam (@adam1903_) reported

    @SparkLox @strandofsport @P01274 Sky Sports is £17 per month if you are with Sky. If you aren’t it’s £20pm at best, £33 at worst (via Now TV), not to mention the £3.99 extra per month to watch it in 1080p. BT Sport is £15 per month if you are with BT/EE, £30 with Sky, £18 with Virgin Media.

  • lostmysense Conner Reuben (@lostmysense) reported

    @virginmedia youre customer service is horrendous. Internet off for most of today and last night. We have spent more on data than our month bill costs yet you offer no compensation because it hasn't been off for fourty eight hours disgusting
