  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can reply since your customer service department have just hung up after waiting an hour to get through. So sick of your terrible customer service hence why i want to leave. #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice #cancellation

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @panzerfaust81 Any chance we can cancel as your customer service team hang up after waiting an hour on hold? Sick of your dreadful service. Please contact me as this is a joke. Need to leave due to moving home and you make it even harder @Ofcom

  • 1slandmonkey Benjamin Spurling (@1slandmonkey) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

  • chrismayes .💙#FBPPR #FBPE You have no authority here johnson (@chrismayes) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hey @virginmedia #DontFundGBNews or i terminate my contract with you.

  • paulm844 Paul Marshall (@paulm844) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    WHEN MY @virginmedia CONTRACT IS UP IM OFF TO SKY. Enough of this ****.

  • Jacq_Critch Jacqueline Critchley (@Jacq_Critch) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia your WiFi and service is a disgrace. Constant outage, hopeless WiFi range, unreachable "support". And now you're putting my bill up? Utter joke.

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

    Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

  • HebburnCurly Mark Wilson (@HebburnCurly) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hi, can I add a telephone line to the broadband package that I already have? Looked on your webpage and it’s all bundles with no option to add anything to the service I already purchase

  • DavidField1987 David Field CBCI (@DavidField1987) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have had a house move booked for 2 weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and now going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

  • chrissielouenid Chrissie (@chrissielouenid) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia poor service strikes again !

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia There are no issues in the region apart from your appalling service.

  • ITINTERACT2 Rob Turnbull (@ITINTERACT2) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia @ChesnoidGaming Virgin , impossible to call with issues but instant reply on Twitter

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Cramlington, England

    @virginmedia why can’t I get through on the phone to cancel my broadband ? I’ve also been in the queue for hours in online Chat, ridiculous customer service

  • beyond_vinyl BEYOND VINYL (@beyond_vinyl) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia my phone and broadband is down (#NewcastleUponTyne city centre) we are in a pandemic and I have nothing else to do so need internet!! Any idea when service will be restored??

  • DavidField1987 David Field CBCI (@DavidField1987) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have had a house love booked for two weeks (planned for tomorrow) yet once again you have disconnected my services early at my current address. I’m working from home and your error has once again impacted me and I’m going to spend my morning again trying to fix!

  • iYogaBody Tatiana M Newton (@iYogaBody) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia it’s simply Disgraceful! As @gmail email user I CAN NOT logging into my own account to check my bill- is it even legal?? After 1 hour of ohone convo with @virginmedia agent my problem is not solved and I’m back in the loop 🔁

  • Andygclark Andy Clark (@Andygclark) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia would like to thank you for your customer service. Over 15 years of money from me. 50% price rise. I would like to leave please. No problem. All booked for you. Good bye. Wish I could afford to treat my customers like that.

  • CBManchester Chris Barras (@CBManchester) reported

    @virginmedia Would I be right in assuming you would just put me through to the billings team or can you actually solve the problem? Please be completely honest here because if I do the online chat but you just pass me to billings it will be yet another waste of my time.

  • CaroleHayden19 Carole Hayden (@CaroleHayden19) reported

    @virginmedia apparently a problem with tv in this area but we have tv, we haven't got internet or landline yet again!!

  • ShelvockD dc shelvock (@ShelvockD) reported

    @virginmedia I WISH TO CANCEL MY CONTRACT TRIED ALL YOUR PHONE NOBODY TALKS TO YOU

  • _SimranK Simran Kaur (@_SimranK) reported

    @virginmedia A technician has been booked, via online diagnostics. The Internet went down just after a BT technician did something to the connection box on our road- does this need to go to a different team of technicians????? #virginmediadown #virginmediahelp

  • indexDaniel Daniel (@indexDaniel) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve raised a complaint with your team last Thursday. They told me to expect a call back by Tuesday. Still nothing. You have £150 of my money! I can’t afford to be overcharged by this amount, the service is disgusting considering I have a mortgage with you too!

  • ShelvockD dc shelvock (@ShelvockD) reported

    @virginmedia why can't they just say morning how can i help

  • LyndsF23 Lyndsay (@LyndsF23) reported

    @virginmedia my Internet connection is absolutely shocking. I've never really needed it to be consistent before due to just browsing and netflix with it, but WFH it's terrible. It drops all the time, can't go even a full hour without losing connection.

  • robrowres Rob Rowlands Research (@robrowres) reported

    For a company that trades on communication, speed and efficiency, @virginmedia and @comex2000’s installation of a network in this Cheshire town has left a lasting advert of shoddiness and “couldn’t care less”. Your only as good as your last job?

  • Hannahstocks16 Hannah stocks (@Hannahstocks16) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I’m wanting to cancel an order I placed for a sim. It was ordered so I could upgrade my contract but someone did this for me over the phone so now I need to cancel this new order as I don’t need it.

  • Carl_Walsh33 Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported

    @virginmedia service down in the NE29 postcode all morning, love a cheeky £100 a month to Virgin for no service
