  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @sky do you resolve customer complaints in less time than the 3 weeks @virginmedia need #imightneedanewprovider #coolingoffperiod #virginmediasaga

  • 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

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia the Royal baby will have his own baby before you sort my issue out or answer the phone #virginmedia #virginmediasaga

  • 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

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I am sick of contacting yourselves regarding it. Your company does not seem to know which department I need to speak to. One minute It's customer care, then movers, then disconnections, who pass me back to customer care. #notaclue #virginmediasaga

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    Things that have happened in the time it takes for @virginmedia to resolve a complaint. #Royalbaby has been born, #Liverpool beat Barca, Maya got caught on #Emmerdale, #iran have threatened to change their #nucleardear. #virginmediasaga

  • 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

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia We asked at the time of there was any money outstanding and we were told no. We were never told it takes 30 days to cancel. Again poor service from yourselves. I don't have the complaint number no as your staff keep hanging up

  • 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 👎

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia #virginmediasaga on hold to yourselves again. #youneednewholdmusic. Although I do find it ironic that you play a song with the lyrics 'I'm a sucker for you. The only suckers are the customers like me that can't seem to get issues resolved! #virginmedia #thieves

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia So another tonight wasted last night on the phone to all your departments and still no resolution. Still trying to make me pay your staff's mistakes. #virginmediasaga #thieves

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @anemoneproject @virginmedia @virgeinmedia The account is suspended now. I'm going to guess a disgruntled customer!

  • 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!

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Cancelled the account on 28th or 29th March. Was told by one of your staff members that the service would be cancelled immediately and that #virginmedia owed us just over £70. She also cancelled the direct debit, agreed to send a cheque for the balance to an alternative address

  • 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 👎

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No sorry I'm meaning the Internet on my virgin mobile phone is slow

  • Clarquey Simon Clark (@Clarquey) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Hi @virginmedia. Trying to call, text, WhatsApp my wife today attempting to sort out our children etc and completely unable to. My contract has just been increased. Pretty shocking service and I'm paying more! I would expect some compensation at the very least 😡 #VirginOutage

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    For all the poor sods like me who had nothing but trouble today! #VirginMedia #Virginmediaoutage

  • khaijbach Khaijbach (@khaijbach) reported

    @virginmedia 3. I'm told, it's 48 hours before I can talk to higher level support. Is it infact easier to close the account, then sign back up again to get my actual name?

  • nmhrbrtsn Niamh (@nmhrbrtsn) reported

    @virginmedia how long is the internet going to be down in IG10?

  • Rich_Grove Rich Grove 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@Rich_Grove) reported

    @virginmedia No I haven't as your own staff have stated the issue is with the hub. Just got to wait for a technician tomorrow and hope they can replace the useless piece of junk (wish I had never had the incorrectly named "Super" Hub 5 - awful piece of kit).

  • antonyralph Ant (@antonyralph) reported

    @virginmedia No, because my complains get settled before they are. I've been on the phone to you guys for 2 hours this morning, been cut off twice and never had phone calls back. About to call again and explain the situation for the 5th time today. I'm a little more than frustrated now!

  • _Al3xP Alex (@_Al3xP) reported

    @virginmedia Round and round we go. You’ve built your process to be as unhelpful as possible. Your network is a heap of 💩 and if the regulator wasn’t so toothless then you guys would cease to exist.

  • antonyralph Ant (@antonyralph) reported

    @virginmedia Process again. I've been put through to 5 different people today and the call has ended twice. I should have never gone back to you guys as I've now spent arpox 7 hours trying to sort this. I would have had my new broad band installed by now. It's been absolutely awful service

  • hattiehattie Hattie Crisell (@hattiehattie) reported

    @virginmedia You don't need it back (I was told), but it obviously needs to be recycledand I don't have a car to take it to the tip. So someone on your customer service desk said they would send packaging/instructions so that I could return it to you to be recycled. But they didn't.

  • Alexlex1992 Alexlex (@Alexlex1992) reported

    @virginmedia why's it that every time I wanna check my account, the password never works! I had phoned up about this before. The reset password option is just as useless, the link always expires, even if I click on it in less than a minute of receiving it.

  • cryptopalace2 🚀 Crypto Palace 🚀 (@cryptopalace2) reported

    @virginmedia my internet is down again in BR3. It says there are no known problems on your useless app when there obviously is. Just had a look at your replies!

  • geordieee333 david hackett (@geordieee333) reported

    @virginmedia My bill has been increased when I received it today, called to find out why they said inflation. I have had no contact telling me this would happen, they told me they sent an email and I had an option to cancel without charge. I said ok I’ll do that, they then said that option
