  • simplyajblog Abbie✨ (@simplyajblog) reported from Dunston, England

    @katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

    @virginmedia All praise to your engineer Paul who has got us back online this afternoon. Still needs a new cable to be pulled through, but the fix is there. Thanks for everything.

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    What to do when you have been trying to contact @virginmedia since november 2 complaints raised with disgusting customer service, eventually someone answers the phone only to cut me off 😡😡😡

  • McXinnie Chris McKinnie (@McXinnie) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia £27 up to £32 without a letter, text, email or anything is a bit rude, can you explain why?

  • CompaneroDave David (@CompaneroDave) reported from Wallsend, England

    Have been forced upstairs to watch the match in the PS4. WiFi is usually crap up here. But, no, it's working perfectly so I'm forced to watch #NUFC. Cheers @virginmedia, why can't you do this when I'm trying to work?!

  • ukspid Spid (Steve G) (@ukspid) reported

    @rachelfortnum @mouthwaite @virginmedia Don't confuse wifi strength with wired part to cable box. They are totally different aspects of the Internet connection. Like a chain, the weakest link fails first but is not a function of next link. I'm VM. Customer service stinks, but one should be scientific about the issue

  • W45EMS Sole.Surfer (@W45EMS) reported

    **** @virginmedia once again??

  • Kempzo_ ok (@Kempzo_) reported

    @Jxno96 Probably my con, fix up you **** wankers @virginmedia

  • RitzSampson Big L (@RitzSampson) reported

    @virginmedia your wifi is down again. Twice in one week!!

  • JackMcA_ Jack M (@JackMcA_) reported

    Shock @virginmedia go down again at exactly the same time 3 days on the bounce. It’s almost like it’s deliberate.

  • leonahussey Leona Hussey (@leonahussey) reported

    @virginmedia problems with WiFi in London area

  • mikekubacki MichalDataOps (@mikekubacki) reported

    @virginmedia I don't have internet since Sunday and I can't get any help through the website/app/phone. I'm only getting messages that my internet is fixed. That's wonderful but I need the internet fixed, not receiving incorrect messages. I'm working from home, really need it.

  • 8BallPete Pete Trotman (@8BallPete) reported

    @StirredNtShaken @virginmedia @SkyUK Chap I spoke to basically just admitted the new customer price is just to get you in through the door and then happy to stiff customers thereafter. Got the feeling they relied heavily on apathy and people not wanting to switch to sky. Fabulous business model.

  • lukesmart89 Luke Smart (@lukesmart89) reported

    @virginmedia Don’t buy from these. Bad service, they bill you extra when you leave to try and force you to stay and they may give you second hand equipment that you then rent

  • andyjones_dj Andy Jones - Staffs Discos (@andyjones_dj) reported

    @virginmedia how many more times are you going to let me down. From a simple home install on the 2nd Dec 2020, overcharged by £116 on my bill and no engineer arrived on 14th Jan even though confirmed on text and assured on phone last Sunday. Come on sort it out please..........
