  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hey its been like this for a while. I have the power socket scheduled to restart every night, but it isn't helping. Ive also reset to factory settings numerous times as well as try different wireless channels. WiFi is only part of the problem though as the issue exists on cable

    @damieng5 @garethmck1987 @virginmedia @NETGEAR I agree. I have the same set up . With Virgin SH3 no wifi signal to conservatory. With Orbi mesh network wifi everywhere in house & in the garden too. Costs a bit more but woryh it IMO.

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Very much doubt it Mark; like I say- they have the market sewn up so can treat their existing customers with contempt.

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

  • ll370 IanBurns (@ll370) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 2 weeks back with you and my signal keeps dropping almost every single day, best internet provider. I think I have grounds to terminate my contract. What a joke

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia no just have to put password and email address in. The green tick appear then keeps saying sign in

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia can you help me with a broadband technical issue. I have 200Mb, power cycle the router daily and still by the end of the day end up with super slow speeds. Less than 1Mb tonight. Thanks.

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It was for my internet and TV account. I've managed to do it on my housemates app as they had no issues with the app.

  • 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.

  • Stevedey Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia must be 8pm. Internets down 😂 #clockwork

  • gemmafisher5 gemma fisher (@gemmafisher5) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia what an absolute #nightmare to #cancel my services because I’m movinghouse my call has been hung up on #twice now #1andahalf hours on the phone and I’m still on #hold 🤬

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

    @virginmedia are there issues in the Gateshead area. Broadband keeps on going down. Tried turning hub off/on, but not helping.

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

    So your staff forgot to cancel my service properly and then conveniently raised two new bills rather than giving us the 70 pound you owe us. 2 X managers and not a clue between any of them #virginmedia #thieves #makethecustomerpayforyourmistakea

  • bigpinkdressgnr BIG PINK DRESS (@bigpinkdressgnr) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Your customer service was the worst ever One guy actually shouted at us Your TV never worked your internet went off at night We constantly had to reboot All while paying you a small fortune So no we won't be returning

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

    @virginmedia it's a shame I don't have a #timestone so I could go back and never get a service with you #stealingcustomersmoney

    @SteveWatkiss Godfather of Harlem is on starzplay that only cost £4.99p/m unless you're a virgin media customer on their top pack then i think it's included.

  • ameliaa_hall Amelia Louise (@ameliaa_hall) reported

    @virginmedia are very quick to respond when you tweet them asking the problem but when you tell them they take their time to respond (if they do ever respond) anyone want to respond to this tweet? Or do you want to keep ignoring that there is a problem with @virginmedia

  • KazzaB66 Karen Best (@KazzaB66) reported

    @virginmedia can you tell me how long it will take for someone from an escalated complaint marked as priority to get back to me please. This is regarding my 89 year old father's account.

  • a_tuts Anna (@a_tuts) reported

    @virginmedia My bigger issues is that all the internet is out. And has been since 8 AM. It’s supposed to be fixed by 4…Aka a full working day

  • AlmondProperty Almond Property (@AlmondProperty) reported

    @virginmedia Any chance of speaking to someone re: business broadband set up Monday. Still not working and your advisors are totally useless!

  • DazzledMin DazzledMin (@DazzledMin) reported

    @virginmedia brilliant customer service today…spent 52 minutes on the call, didn’t resolve anything. Your customer service agent said she was placing me on hold and effectively ended the call. Is that how your staff are trained to deal with customers?

  • a_tuts Anna (@a_tuts) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp I would like my internet to be functioning and now be out for the entire day with an outage

  • ameliaa_hall Amelia Louise (@ameliaa_hall) reported

    @virginmedia @OfficialDrMike Just keep waiting for someone to tell you that they can’t fix it and their is nothing they can do 🙈 great service 👏🏻

  • OfficialDrMike Dr Mike Leahy (@OfficialDrMike) reported

    @virginmedia I will get complaint numbers. I have only had generic replies and whenever I get through to your customer services guys I am simply put on hold for hours. All I want to do is take up YOUR offer to cancel my package, but by dishonest means I have been prevented from doing this.

  • SteveUnknown Steve (@SteveUnknown) reported

    @virginmedia After months of excessive stress, you’ve lost my custom for good. But, if u REALLY want to help, then please help @michaeljswalker - his work is essential for our awareness re the country. He needs to remain connected. Surely some good will gesture IS possible. Help. Him! Plz.
