    So annoying everything been off since around 11 this morning & now they’ve just updated service status that’s it’s going to be tomorrow at 6pm it’s fixed, that’s a big change from 6pm tonight!!! Bet I still get charged full price for a service that isn’t working. @virginmedia

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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

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

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

    @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 👎

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

    @virginmedia well cant send email blame my phone! Then say charge fix it. Then say may aswell leave said bye! After 10 yrs great service!

  • 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.

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

    And the shit @virginmedia sservice fails again tv off yesterday broadband & phone failing today you txt & get auto reply you phone & they do nothing, disappointing service

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

    @virginmedia done it but no help thats why fed up thought you would advise somewhere different to contact

  • Adam_baker1490 Adam Baker (@Adam_baker1490) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia shocking customer service. how do you expect to keep loyal customers when you don’t notify them of there contract ending and giving them a new deal and nearly double the bill 😡 😡

  • 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

  • LisaSmythe_RNA Lisa (@LisaSmythe_RNA) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia please sort out the internet! I’ve ran out of mobile date because the WiFi is terrible!

  • BGavlar BgGavlar (@BGavlar) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for the reply guys. Sadly the issue keeps coming and going. The screen freezes then I get two green lights on the front on the router. One of these then flashes before I get red lights on the front of my TiVo box.

  • swords31 Mark.G65 (@swords31) reported from Fingal County, Leinster

    @VirginMedia_TV what is wrong with the TV signal please? #virginmedia

  • 1darrencampbell Darren Campbell (@1darrencampbell) reported

    Anyone elses @virginmedia internet down in London? Is it to do with the mental rain?

  • planetaoife aoife🇮🇪 (@planetaoife) reported

    virgin media playing the same two ads over and over every time i refresh im going to scream WHY CANT THIS STUPID APP WORK especially over that stupid post card too. **** you virgin media #LoveIsland

  • SarahVernon_sa Sarah Vernon (@SarahVernon_sa) reported

    @virginmedia Overall it saddens me to think that a large communication company could care less about customer service & their clients when it comes to genuine discussion with something other than AI who could not assist in the 1st place.

  • RMH_C Becky C 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@RMH_C) reported

    @virginmedia doing what it does best and not working properly... why charge me every month when my Internet connection is terrible 70% of the time? Shall I pay you 70% of my bill until you make it more reliable?

  • SarahVernon_sa Sarah Vernon (@SarahVernon_sa) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you for the clarification but it is the poor customer service that is really shocking for a communications company, it should also be a one on one chat and not your general automated responses.

  • rwtwm waine james (@rwtwm) reported

    @virginmedia I'm in E11 and my neighbour is experiencing the same issue.

  • alliterate Sophia S (@alliterate) reported

    @MoneySavingExp @MartinSLewis Please help! @virginmedia won't honour a deal from your website unless MSE contacts them on my behalf so they can process my discount. I know you can't answer individual queries but I really don't want to be stuck paying >double what I expected!

  • rosswilliams01s crw (@rosswilliams01s) reported

    What a shambles of a company @virginmedia are. I left them in january this year as their prices kept creeping up. I have been getting bills ever since and have made numerous phone calls to their customer services who on speaking to them say i actually dont owe any money
