    @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

    @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 👎

    @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

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

    @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

    @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

    @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

    @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 👎

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

    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

  • 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

  • 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

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

  • 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!

  • 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 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 👎

  • 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

    @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

  • 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

    Effie Fenton (@effiefenton) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @virginmedia it would be a great idea if you could save priority installation slots for those in greatest need, like those with disabilities who need a phone line installed for a telecare service. So they don't have to wait a month. Just a thought.

  • jinks_bar
    Baa Bar Jinks (@jinks_bar) reported

    I was warned by @BTGroup that @virginmedia Customer Service were bad. I thought they can't be that bad, but OMG they're even worse. I wasted 40 minutes yesterday to be told to phone the same number again - no thanks. Been waiting an hour for an online chat. Dreadful.

  • mentyb_queen
    L ✨ 🇪🇺. BLM. FreePalestine- mostly INACTIVE (@mentyb_queen) reported

    ******* detest being with @virginmedia internet regularly dropping or slowing down only for ‘no reported problems in area’ when I try to test Always seems affected after it rains too

  • karlstoney
    Karl (@karlstoney) reported

    So @virginmedia we moved to a non virgin area, we confirmed you'd cancel the service. The notes on the account show that agreement but it was never actioned, now my partner has a missed payment on her credit record, and a debt collection company chasing. What are you playing at?

  • Fullmet4lKitty
    KITTY 🕸️ (@Fullmet4lKitty) reported

    @virginmedia It’s stable for now, but the moment it rains it has issues. I mentioned this last time someone came out to check it, but guessing it was overlooked as it keeps happening.

  • jon_Oncecontent
    Jon (@jon_Oncecontent) reported

    @virginmedia WORST COMPANY IN THE WORLD EVER!! - I THOUGHT BT WERE BAD YOU ARE TERRIBLE!!! I KNOW ITS POINTLESS SAYING IT ON HERE BECAUSE YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING!! HOPELESS HOPELESS HOPELESS!!!!

  • natsmith101098

    @virginmedia worst ever wifi provider 2hours to get to speak to a human that I couldn’t understand her accent... and refused to book me a technician...2 years of ongoing wifi issues and still not fixed... Bt and sky just as bad. Can anyone out here recommend a guaranteed wifi

  • pixelscol
    Col Gray 🤘🏻 (@pixelscol) reported

    @virginmedia Every 18 months I have to go through hoops to try and even get close to the SAME price you give your new customers You expect me to pay £25 a month more! I've been a broadband customer of yours since you purchased Blueyonder. 20+ years Is loyalty worth nothing?

  • JamesRef8
    James Smith (@JamesRef8) reported

    @virginmedia can you provide a telephone number to speak to a real person for my broadband issues. I don’t need the txt message telling me I can book an engineer with updates telling me there are signal issues. Thats not the problem which started before the signal issues arose
