  • Rainbowztwit
    Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

  • ema_neale
    emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

    Wakey wakey @virginmedia shoddy service not to update a LOT of the UK on broadband problems

  • 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.

    Has anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible

  • gazza_d
    Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

  • CazzaW
    CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?

  • 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

  • ZicoPete
    Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

    On hold with @virginmedia for 20 minutes then they decided to cut my call.. great service. 👍

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

  • Dave_is_Elvis
    David (@Dave_is_Elvis) reported from Boldon Colliery, England

    @virginmedia checked your outage tracker and says all services good on the area. Been without internet for nearly an hour. What is going on?

  • classicm
    Mike Moody (@classicm) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia All my tv, broadband and phone services are down. Nobody available from Virgin to help. Done all the usual checks and still off.

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

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

  • maxinetennet74
    Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, England

    What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

  • geordievillan1
    The Geordie Villan (@geordievillan1) reported from South Shields, England

    The US military has launched an eighth night of air strikes on Iran after Tehran attacked a US military base in Jordan. Two American service members died, while a third was listed as missing in action. The US military says the strikes are designed to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. 📺 More on Virgin Media PLAY

    @christyboy87 @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia All I’ve seen on here is people thinking we’re blaming the ref. Like no we know we’re shite, but the ref also was. Wasn’t the reason we lost but we can still say he was bad.

  • cycleprawn
    SFB-Mod (@cycleprawn) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Scum company. Lying cheats on their OS call centres. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

  • DippyMMA12
    DippyP1 #CV1 (@DippyMMA12) reported

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Oh, it took you 18 years to realise they couldn't give a **** about you as a customer?

  • KatReynolds5
    Kat Jackson (@KatReynolds5) reported

    @virginmedia internet out again. This is the 5th week now for UB10 area. Still saying fix date of 17th July when it’s the 21st today. Any update please?!!?

  • peter_mcclurg
    Peter mcclurg (@peter_mcclurg) reported

    Why are you managing the worst levels of service. Utterly shambolic. Frustrating and embarrassing. I look forward to the next fine being enough to get you to treat customers as customers in the future. Just spent 45 minutes begging for a service engineer to come. @virginmedia

  • OsCraven
    Oscar (@OsCraven) reported

    @virginmedia can you improve your customer app experience? Your app is broken and your *** clearly aren't using it to see how broken it is. 1. App refreshes when swapping apps to get your requested information disconnecting Comms with a human with no ability to return 2. Unable to lodge a complaint within app 3. 2 plus hour waiting times on phone 4. Showing incorrect information about my contract (says it's ended, but it definitely hasn't) I've been without WiFi for 3 days and once again I'm stuck having to reach out on twitter to be heard.

    @virginmedia fix your damn WiFi, I pay like 100 a month for some bullshit that don’t work
