  • Marilyn_huartt Marilyn malibu (@Marilyn_huartt) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia three times since I first reported that I was having problems with all my services and it has gone down again

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia what has happened with the service in ne33 4hn area as I have no phone line no internet and no tv service

  • fossdog_ Jake Fossey (@fossdog_) reported from Stanley, England

    @virginmedia are genuinely ******* shit

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia emails are not working the solution by Virgin is to log into My virgin media can you tell me how to do this when it is not recognising my log in and your call centres are all closed

  • vitosauras Helen #RacingForAnthoine🇧🇪 (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    Hi @virginmedia sort the Internet issues out in NE10 please that's twice my connection has dropped in the last hour

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    .@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia .... 0420 and still no service 😡😡😡😡😡

  • dodgestweet Matt Dodge Donnelly (@dodgestweet) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia every month I have the same issue. Go to pay bill and despite having Google auto password (which works on every other thing I log in) it says my log in is wrong and I have to reset it EVERY MONTH!! EVERY MONTH!! IT'S RIDICULOUS

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • MarkaMackem Mackem (@MarkaMackem) reported from Seaham, England

    @Flittdog @Jo7Lawton @JackieMayes5 @Adamphayward @finbarr_poland @piersmorgan @virginmedia This particular job is not classed as key as its not a service everyone wants

  • Andymorris74 Andrew Morris ⚽️ (@Andymorris74) reported from South Shields, England

    How about @skytv giving movie channels for free across all platforms @virginmedia @bt_uk and help keep people at home! Come on, do your bit Sky TV 👍

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I keep getting message that blueyonder server is down and as such cannot log into VM or get and send emails

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

  • jlandells John Landells (@jlandells) reported

    @virginmedia Finally found a roundabout route to get the chat working, only to find it’s now just s bad as calling! You certain don’t like to give your customers the feeling of being valued! 😞

  • hannahnanna669 Hannah McKee 💙 (@hannahnanna669) reported

    Second day on hold with @virginmedia to try and help mum with issues and I am already sick of the George Ezra song they start you on hold with 😭 Fingers crossed this gets sorted today because it’s been exhausting

  • SMacmoo sarah (@SMacmoo) reported

    @virginmedia No still on going shocking customer service.

  • tomjessie1 Angela Rickman (@tomjessie1) reported

    @virginmedia No. Someone help me and call me please and get it resolved on 07966360333

  • emmalunn Emma Lunn (@emmalunn) reported

    @virginmedia I clicked the link in your message. It sent me to a page saying "bad request". So helpful, many thanks. Totally worth £62 a month.

  • Ameliorate20 Ameliorate (@Ameliorate20) reported

    @virginmedia The lack of a good offer for benefits people's. Other companies are not reducing service by 85%.

  • MikeRafonehed mike rafonehed (@MikeRafonehed) reported

    @virginmedia I've been on hold for 45 minutes and counting to get some wi-fi signal boosters!! You won't let me order online and I can't get through on the phone. Is this a deliberate money saving tactic or do you just not care about your customers?!!

  • writebore David Sheahan (@writebore) reported

    @virginmedia This as endless, useless gobbledegook doesn’t help and if it’s indicative and of what you call service I’m beginning to see the real problem here

  • writebore David Sheahan (@writebore) reported

    @virginmedia Please stop bothering me. You’re not providing a service, I’ll escalate this to someone who cares. Trading Standards, Offcom, my now nervous local MP. Anyone but you.

  • writebore David Sheahan (@writebore) reported

    @virginmedia I have no evidence that you are already working on this issue and neither do you, that’s straight up rubbish
