    @virginmedia Waiting for delivery of hub equipment to start using internet.Due Monday & it’s still not here. 1st week as a Virgin customer. Made 6 calls bounced from person to person,made to feel like it’s my fault! Spoken to Yodel & tracking details show they haven’t received it from Virgin

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia No. A problem with order of some description.

  • danieljohnallis Daniel Allis 🇬🇧 (@danieljohnallis) reported from Gateshead, England

    @lxwissssss @MartinEdition @virginmedia Mine is excellent once they replaced the wiring because it was old and now mine never goes off and it’s super fast! The English call centres are great but the Indian and Philippines ones are really bad I avoid them because they just read off scripts!

  • TraiAnfield Trai Anfield (@TraiAnfield) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I called the help line and a bot told me to restart my router twice and then proceeded to end the call. Little fed up

  • jwilko_87 Jonathan Wilkinson (@jwilko_87) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your internet service in Gateshead for the last few days has been terrible. Keep losing connection here 🙄

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia yet again my internet down.

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia I called and the service I received was unbelievably poor. My first experience as a Virgin customer. Considering cancellation now.

  • mmcvickers Michael McVickers (@mmcvickers) reported from Consett, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp Hi, it’s not an outage problem as it’s been like this for months and months

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia So I expected a call today before 12pm from business team I also logged a call back on the website for one of the team to call me before 12pm. Engineer on Friday said someone would call in the morning it’s now just gone after 12 and I am still waiting? This is poor?!

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia It says there’s no issues in my area. So why does my internet keep going off. If it works it’s very rarely high or if it is it’s only for a short time. Then goes off and gives low readings. I’ve reset it and unplugged it from mains etc and still it’s on and off. Annoying

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    First day as a @vmbusiness customer and been waiting nearly 13 hours for a delivery, that hasn’t arrived… #greatstart #herewego

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I will call, again and again. Would be nice if you called me tbh. I’ll escalate or just cancel and go to another provider

  • ChrisJ94_ Chris Johnson (@ChrisJ94_) reported from Wallsend, England

    . @virginmedia rang virgin last week to move house. You've done the external install yesterday but haven't turned up for internal install today. Tried to log into my account and it says my package is cancelled no options for support at all. Called and hung up on before answer.

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Should that not be your job to check and then tell me the answer. You havnt really solved the problem by telling me to check my area. You should know if there’s any problems where ever they may be

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Yeah I know that but we are paying for the fastest speed and when it eventually works we don’t get nowhere near that speed. Considering how many times I have to reset the router we don’t get a full service. Just wanted it sorting out

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Sort my order out please.Due on Monday, not delivered.6 calls Tuesday & Wednesday,told it would be here today, yet Yodel tracking shows they haven’t got it from you.1st week as a @virginmedia customer 😡. Worst of all handlers have made me feel like it’s my problem #woefulservice

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia And it has just cut out again and your bot via the number above just said restart the router and put the phone down on me. Slightly concerned that it lasted 5 days again and decided to come back to disconnecting?

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia is broadband services down. My internet has been intermittent for the last week. Reset router 3 times today and still not working properly. Download speed is 1mb. Usually 380 mb

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

    @virginmedia The link requires you to sign in, then when you do goes to the homepage. In other words nothing. So I tried the live chat.

  • chilpark Amy Freeman-Britton (@chilpark) reported

    @virginmedia Hi! Can I get someone to help me? I want to change my plan and I can’t get through to you on the phone. Thanks!

  • H_Turner78 Howard Turner (@H_Turner78) reported

    @virginmedia Good job contacting Virgin Media isn't one of the steps to support! 8 months of patchy on/off service and non existent customer service.

  • Itstheway2go Ian (@Itstheway2go) reported

    @virginmedia @janhare It would be great if your network worked properly and didn't cut off every few hours, while trying to do children's homework. But Virgin media still take the money out of my account. My son was worried he wouldn't get his homework to the teacher in time. Any explanation.

  • priya185 Priya (@priya185) reported

    @virginmedia the internet service is very poor. It is not working since 1 week #virginmediadown

  • timbcfc97 Tim (@timbcfc97) reported

    Outage in B98? @virginmedia both the TV and internet both crashed and won’t come back on now

  • thathurt thathurt 📸🐧⚡ (@thathurt) reported

    @virginmedia I was an unpaid carer for 24 years and can assure you that ticking a box does not get any support. Stop bandwagon jumping.

  • BarryBscho Barry Schofield (@BarryBscho) reported

    Virgin Media has sent me a Bill. I do not have Virgin Media. Been trying for a year now they never install it. 12 attempts at installing a faceplate they never come. The most inept company. I am now taking them to court. The bill is now £1650.

  • CraigWoodroffe Craig Woodroffe (@CraigWoodroffe) reported

    @virginmedia Only options are for billing and tech issues, not complaints The svs is poor, the cc routing is poor also

  • MarkJn1993 Mark Johnson (@MarkJn1993) reported

    @virginmedia There are no reported issues in the area (according to your website), but something is definitely up. The connection drops out for 5-10 minutes every 20 minutes or so...
