  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It was just internet TV that day but today all your services telephone, TV (all channels) and the broadband are repeatedly failing - no idea why I get billed for such poor service I mean the phone FFS do you think it’s 1984!

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    Looks like @virginmedia are just as rubbish as @BTtv their rubbish service has been failing all night making watching catchup TV a right pain looks like I need another provider

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @lisadunn1978 @virginmedia I have just had hell on and demanded to speak to a manager. At first I was told there was no issue in our area and it was the router then the manager has told me that there is a problem in our area

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia I changed to Virgin because BT would drop out regularly in the middle of the Moto GP. Used to have a great service with Sky but they charge an extra 30 something quid for BT Sport

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia I didn’t miss your point I just do t agree with it - if we pay for service everyday it should work every single day. I do not consider any failure to be a good service

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Tomorrow. This has been going on for over two weeks intermittent but the way I was treated was not the way to treat a loyal customer

  • d_n_g_x 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆🐸 (@d_n_g_x) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It was @Stacey_MW_WL with the problem

  • ian_safc_1974 Ian (@ian_safc_1974) reported from Dunston, England

    @lisadunn1978 @virginmedia They sound awful. Is broadband itself any better

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Back up and working again I look forward to the next time your service fails - the worst service I’ve experienced since the demise of dial up internet and party line telephones 👎

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia @jeffsprogress It didn’t work for a day and you think it is a great experience and good service. With that attitude no wonder we get such a shit service

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @RevDubbleD @virginmedia Absolutely appalling service today. The attitude of the people I dealt with was staggering for a customer centric organisation.

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia And no I can’t match it Virgin Media fails almost every week, we have a whole other level of shit service compared to you 👎

  • TheToon1892 ⓃⓊⒻⒸ ①⑧⑨② (@TheToon1892) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia @VasBlackwood It could be your staff need training in how to offer professional customer service.... Most haven't got a clue

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia There seems to be a network problem. The box had a green light flashing. Our phones & iPads are connect but the sky boxes don’t seem to be. Can I DM you please

  • scottilderton Scott Ilderton (@scottilderton) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia on hold for 46 mins so far having select options to cancel. The guy the system put me through to cant do this🙄 So i’m back on hold what horrific service #operationkeepthemallonhold

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I have informed the manager that I wanted to make a complaint and he has noted it. I am just starting to calm down now

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia And our Virgin TV has failed again your service truly is shite and a waste of my money looks like we are left with terrestrial TV through our always reliable tv aerial again you should be deeply ashamed of your outrageously poor service 👎

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I have the App but having it confirm what I already know is no help whatsoever. Instead of investing in Apps that confirm your service is not fit for purpose why not invest in providing an unfailing service to customers. Currently you take money for services you can’t deliver

  • jameshedges4 James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No known issues. It’s only wireless speeds. There is no excuse for this, it happens to me almost everyday. I would like to discuss it with someone as I tried at the weekend and was completely fobbed off by your service team. I pay nearly £50 a month and often have to use my 4G

  • amymccordx Amy McCord (@amymccordx) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I was speaking with an agent an hour ago due to an issues with WiFi. They said they’d 100% ring me back in 30 mins as we did a hard reset of the booster. It’s been another 30 mins since then and no one has called. #notmyday

  • AdoptionAdvent1 Adoption.Adventures (@AdoptionAdvent1) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve seen poor customer service but wow, yours is taking the lead right now. I’ve been in a “chat” with your “customer service” team for 36 hours and still nothing getting any reasonable response! Shocking!

  • MayanTurner Mayan Turner (@MayanTurner) reported

    @virginmedia what’s up with customer service today? Been waiting to speak to someone on the WhatsApp for over 2 hours now and no response to my previous tweet either?!

  • bhardwar Ritika Kalia (@bhardwar) reported

    @virginmedia We have been using Virgin Broadband for a while and had added TV to the pack on sunday. The only reason to get VirginTV was your Desi pack. However, it doesn’t work on our box and no one can fix the issue. I have been ringing support since yesterday!l

  • david_harman_uk 🇪🇺 David Harman 🇪🇺 No Rules 4 Me (@david_harman_uk) reported

    @virginmedia Do your overpaid bosses really think this is a good time to increase the prices by an obscene, inflation-busting amount at this time? @ofcom why does #virginmedia allow to do everything online EXCEPT cancel their services, this obviously isn't fair!

  • davidhartley2 team719 (@davidhartley2) reported

    @virginmedia well virgin media looks like you will be losing a loyal customer I tried to get my package price reduced with no luck

  • MichaelFBA_ Michael FBA (@MichaelFBA_) reported

    Virgin Media Customer service are so ****

  • goyalam AG (@goyalam) reported

    @virginmedia Have been on phone and/or WhatsApp with you guys since 8.30. A lot of time wasted yesterday too. Latest, someone promised a mobile dongle as a temp solution but disappeared after that. Why can’t you just call me and sort something out? I know @HyperopticCS would have.

  • goyalam AG (@goyalam) reported

    @virginmedia @HyperopticCS In fact, am so fed up I have called @HyperopticCS to help me with Virgin Media issue - am already speaking with someone

  • YogeshKalia Yogesh Kalia (@YogeshKalia) reported

    🚨 Worst customer service by far has to go to @virginmedia .. Absolutely shocking!!!🚨

  • steveblake13 Steve Blake Ⓥ (@steveblake13) reported

    @virginmedia I really can't be bothered, if this is how #VirginMedia treat me it's just quicker for me to change provider, looks like there are far better deals anyway.
