  • MarkCarruthers_ Mark Carruthers (@MarkCarruthers_) reported from Wallsend, England

    What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

  • jwilko_87 Jonathan Wilkinson (@jwilko_87) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your internet service in Gateshead for the last few days has been terrible. Keep losing connection here 🙄

  • panicdragon8784 Panicdragon8784 (@panicdragon8784) reported from South Shields, England

    @BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams

  • mmcvickers Michael McVickers (@mmcvickers) reported from Consett, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Hi, it’s not an outage problem as it’s been like this for months and months

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia I called and the service I received was unbelievably poor. My first experience as a Virgin customer. Considering cancellation now.

  • danieljohnallis Daniel Allis 🇬🇧 (@danieljohnallis) reported from Gateshead, England

    @lxwissssss @MartinEdition @virginmedia Mine is excellent once they replaced the wiring because it was old and now mine never goes off and it’s super fast! The English call centres are great but the Indian and Philippines ones are really bad I avoid them because they just read off scripts!

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

    @virginmedia Technical support to discuss slow speeds

  • TraiAnfield Trai Anfield (@TraiAnfield) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia And it has just cut out again and your bot via the number above just said restart the router and put the phone down on me. Slightly concerned that it lasted 5 days again and decided to come back to disconnecting?

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Waiting for delivery of hub equipment to start using internet.Due Monday & it’s still not here. 1st week as a Virgin customer. Made 6 calls bounced from person to person,made to feel like it’s my fault! Spoken to Yodel & tracking details show they haven’t received it from Virgin

  • alicen0rt0n alice✨ (@alicen0rt0n) reported from Washington, England

    THE WORST customer service @virginmedia, should be ashamed of treating loyal customers the way a member of staff has just spoken to my mam

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I seem to be having BB connection issues here!!!

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Its the wifi thats gone down. I am currently using a wired connection.

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    First day as a @vmbusiness customer and been waiting nearly 13 hours for a delivery, that hasn’t arrived… #greatstart #herewego

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have called them twice today still having issues

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Your having a laugh my download speed is 0.03 mbs and its still crap!!!!

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I called the help line and a bot told me to restart my router twice and then proceeded to end the call. Little fed up

  • ChrisJ94_ Chris Johnson (@ChrisJ94_) reported from Wallsend, England

    . @virginmedia rang virgin last week to move house. You've done the external install yesterday but haven't turned up for internal install today. Tried to log into my account and it says my package is cancelled no options for support at all. Called and hung up on before answer.

  • jackjt8 Jack Peters (@jackjt8) reported

    @virginmedia It wouldn't be the first time that your various teams happen to forget things. The internet has been unusable for days now and we are still no closer to a solution.

  • spidersandmilk Spiders and Milk (@spidersandmilk) reported

    @virginmedia It now says there are no known problems but me and the rest of Torquay are are lacking internet. Please see my posts from yesterday.

  • Derfaulehund Derfaulehund (@Derfaulehund) reported

    @virginmedia Intermittent - but the whole street has the same problem. It is just not very reliable. Actually today there are planned works it turns out. Nasty timing - midweek🙈. I work more midweek than at any time.

  • 16stanzas Eleanor Livingstone (@16stanzas) reported

    @autumnpippi @virginmedia @virginhelp I went onto the Chat Bot service, had a reply confirming they know fault in our area, engineers on it, etc fixed by 4.10pm today, and then gave me the phone number and told me to phone their tech support to talk me through how to get back on now!!! Sigh.

  • mikey181283 Mikey (@mikey181283) reported

    @virginmedia your service is terrible the people on the phone are clueless, one person tells you one thing someone else tells you different. You go around in circles and offer nothing but continue to rob people of money every month……phone back this and phone back that.**** off

  • ClassACT31 Adam (@ClassACT31) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately I’m jot able to sign in online. It’s started working again, but was down for 4 hours. There should be compensation for the ongoing disruptions. I was teaching online and our shop till was out of action. It’s not good enough!

  • jackjt8 Jack Peters (@jackjt8) reported

    @virginmedia An expert started on it last night and identified an issue with the router however has not responded since. The internet is not usable so we would ideally like this resolved.

  • mrmrjarrold Matthew Jarrold (@mrmrjarrold) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia No I just need someone to take ownership of the problem and sort it out

  • ajc_cfc Allan C ⭐️⭐️ (@ajc_cfc) reported

    @virginmedia Had no call about this security check. Called your customer service team who said there was a note put on the a/c yesterday saying I’d be contacted in 48 hours for more information. Even though I wasn’t called yesterday as promised.

  • eatcheeselouise MarshmallowMedia (@eatcheeselouise) reported from Camden Town, England

    @virginmedia You’re not working hard to get this fixed… nothing has been fixed in nearly 3 months
