    @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

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

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I think there have been a few problems around where I live, but it seems to be ok now.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • sarahmiles82 Sarah Miles (@sarahmiles82) reported from Hebburn, England

    My love for @virginmedia is growing and growing, said no one ever! Was promised a phone call between 8.30-10.30am on 28th January and still waiting for the call after three emails later and still not replied.... Love when a companies customer service is amazing! #Sarcasm #Fuming

  • Bodmall Bodh (@Bodmall) reported from Shiney Row, England

    @virginmedia 20:00 and just about to watch a film with the family but no internet hadn’t gone down again gg Virgin

  • 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.

  • 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!
