    @virginmedia right you want to explain why my broadband is at 4mbps when there’s no “issue” in my area... hate to tell you there clearly ******* is

    @virginmedia over the last few years virgin media internet has got worse the people that work in the call centres are so abrupt and rude I’ve called approximately 10 in the last 5 months and still have a intermittent fault on my internet service !!!!

    Richard Payne (@NuttyRichie) reported from South Shields, England

    @MrChrisWynn @Simon21ne @virginmedia @nowtvhelp @SkyHelpTeam I managed one week before cancelling! Sky says I have so many devices that it’s slowing the hub down, in 2019 that’s piss poor

    If @virginmedia offer you a 6 month free upgrade do not accept it. It is a way of locking you into a further contract. Poor service as always

    Philippa Taylor (@philippat) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia good customer service , they asked if they could ring me back in 15 mins due to his PC not working , now 2.5 hours later and I am still waiting , tried ringing them back and been on hold for 28 mins now 😡

  • brtoon
    Brian Reid (@brtoon) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

  • VictoriaBarry82

    @virginmedia hi can someone help me with my broadband

  • jameshedges4
    James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I need someone to contact me immediately as I need to make a serious complaint about service. Completely ready to escalate to higher management as this incompetence of this company is a disgrace

  • minkewales
    minkewales (@minkewales) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Dabooka @skybiggerpic @virginmedia It was my second attempt to be fair. First time they reduced the price rise to £1.50 per month, then I rang back a few days later to cancel. Found a better deal elsewhere but price was the driver for wanting to leave. Lovely @virginmedia agent was able to help!

    neosalad (@neosalad) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Nice one @virginmedia I've missed all the 2nd half of the match now. No BB, no Tivo. And your still billing me a higher rate than was agreed when I did the tests which say no issues in my area. Tried resets.

  • GlocketCosplay
    ✾Bam Bam✾ (@GlocketCosplay) reported from Dunston, England

    Yeah great, I lose my TFT ranked after hard winning most of it because @virginmedia internet service goes down more consistently then most men.

    neosalad (@neosalad) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @SundSaeed @virginmedia Engineer booked for Tuesday. Not happy. No football! No @carltonkirby #homeofcycling AND NO xbox @GearsofWar times on Saturday NIGHT. TESTS SAY NO Issues. But there is issues. #NE6

    Jonathon Ward (@Wardixo) reported from South Shields, England

    Shoutout to @vmbusiness who after 5 days told me to reset my router and have now told me they will simply continue to monitor the problem. No stream until NationWars now where we pray it’s going to be better.

  • toniaadiexx
    T (@toniaadiexx) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already spoken to someone on the phone who reset the network, but that didn’t work. I also tried re-starting everything and that also didn’t work, the box itself is very slow now also.

  • ThunderbirdWPC
    Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    Been hanging on phone to @virginmedia for 19 mins and then got cut off! Was 54 mins the other week. Do you think we have time just to sit around! Problems with tv service! Same yesterday in our NE16 area

  • sheeshkebab
    Ian K (@sheeshkebab) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’m not after any account info though, so no need to go through security. Neither of my parents are very technical nor do I have access to the device showing the problem.

  • Barrymore_Jones
    Michael Jones (@Barrymore_Jones) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I need help

  • ThunderbirdWPC
    Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia The person that put me on hold said it looked like there was a problem in our area and tried to put me through to technical help but after music droning on for ages it just stopped. Have given up and watching a dvd instead
