  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

  • SimonBewick Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

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

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

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

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

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • 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….

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Can I win a TV service that works (Thursday 2nd Dec it's been off since) , or internet with no huge drop outs please? Or a link that works to fix anything. #AllIWantForChristmasistheserviceipayfor

  • RobLow_7 W. W. L. D. ? He'd stay at home. (@RobLow_7) reported from Sacriston, England

    @OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

  • allymcgeorge Alvin TX Fernandez (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi I need to cancel an engineer appointment but clearly you've made this difficult to do. Any thoughts?

  • geemiller71 Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Dont wanna air my business over a feed. Asvised phone we got was outa stock. Faulty phone . Was gonna exchange bit out of stock.i had to cancel contract then take a new one out. But send phone back but wife hasnt a spare???

  • geemiller71 Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Horrific customer service

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

  • BurleyNeo And Beans (@BurleyNeo) reported

    @virginmedia The automated phone status tells me "sorry that you are still having intermittent problems but are working on it" then sends me a link by text to say everything is ok in PL2. It's not intermittent I have no service at all. Can you give more information please?

  • foodiesaurus Foodiesaurus Regina (@foodiesaurus) reported

    @virginmedia @richardbranson Apparently, your WhatsApp team doesn’t arrive for three more hours. I guess I lost my place in your 8 am phone queue to cancel.

  • GaldiesL LisaGB💙🇺🇦🙏🏻 (@GaldiesL) reported

    @virginmedia the label sent to return my mums box will not scan - please help

  • Itwasjustameme 🌶 (@Itwasjustameme) reported

    @virginmedia an entire day without Internet. Hub is fine. I assume “service is fine” and you are still “unaware” of any issues?

  • SaunshiG GS (@SaunshiG) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband is down in St Helen's Adamstown Dublin.. Any update on it? @rtenews

  • Gadgetoid Phil Howard (@Gadgetoid) reported

    @NotEnoughTECH @virginmedia ********? Approaching £40 already felt expensive.

  • Kirstenkat Kirsten (@Kirstenkat) reported

    @virginmedia lies with the outside box anyway as the hub is flashing green for both wifi and power suggesting the issue is outside especially as it was all working perfectly until it went down.

  • StudioNIB John Shelley🌿🎨🇪🇺 (@StudioNIB) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for responding! When I reverted to broadband only I was offered the faster M200 fibre. I had hoped this would mean more reliable performance, but I still have occasional drop-outs, when everything just disconnects (especially in the evening), & poor wireless reach.

  • Gadgetoid Phil Howard (@Gadgetoid) reported

    @gazchap @alister_ware @virginmedia The dark patterns are bad enough at the best of times. Right now? It just feels cartoonishly evil.

  • F4TAX F4TAX (@F4TAX) reported

    @virginmedia Pile of Pants, 6 years of crap service, now fully cancelled......
