    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

  • gazza_d
    Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

  • didixon74
    LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England

    @virginmedia You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it? Spoke 18 months ago about signal. Was told it would be looked at if I agreed to renew. Once renewed was told WiFi is not guaranteed so tough.

  • Carl_Walsh33
    Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia we cannot watch the football due to your poor service! This is unacceptable!

  • chromaphotog
    Chris Hopkinson (@chromaphotog) reported

    @virginmedia Look, I’ve just told you your chatbot thing is useless. I want you to contact me, and raise it as a big issue with a manager. I had intermittent internet for a month, and not once have virgin reached out to say why, what’s happening, or to apologise

  • alisuy5
    Alicia Folge (@alisuy5) reported

    @virginmedia local outage again, is this a common thing with Virgin? It’s happened 3 times since we joined, I can’t work or study, do customers of other providers get this too?

  • Dominiho7
    Dominic Hanley (@Dominiho7) reported

    @virginmedia No there is not outages. It is just you not providing the service you promise

  • JJ_n4E
    Jacob-J.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 (@JJ_n4E) reported

    @YvonneWard0 @virginmedia Had similar problems. They're a total nightmare to deal with. Hope you get it sorted.🤞

  • bribiotech
    BriBiotech (@bribiotech) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia @richardbranson I was as pissed off as you but rather than take pain of dealing with them open the box damaged the innards reassembled and sent it to them. Would you believe it took me 36 hours of chasing them on WhatsApp to cancel the contract.

  • jamesf61
    James Ferris (@jamesf61) reported

    @virginmedia Could you get any worse? 3 weeks of no reliable broadband. Customer service suggesting i cancel because they don't know when it will be fixed. Pathetic.

  • mostly_sleepy
    Kat (@mostly_sleepy) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia They never said anything about wanting our broken 2nd TiVO back (had been broken unknown amount of time, so cancelled), and we were going to take it to get WEEE'd. Seeing this I'm glad we put it off long enough that we needed a VM engineer for something else and gave it to him!

  • juliefount
    julie fountain (@juliefount) reported

    @virginmedia what a shambles they have assured me for 5 times in the last 3 months IT would be in contact, still can not access my account customer lost

  • ASoria34455
    Alicia Folge (@ASoria34455) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia how can you leave customers without access to internet for days in 2026? I just came back from South America & when we had a problem it was fixed within the hour, you really can’t do better?
