  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia every month I have the same issue. Go to pay bill and despite having Google auto password (which works on every other thing I log in) it says my log in is wrong and I have to reset it EVERY MONTH!! EVERY MONTH!! IT'S RIDICULOUS

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    .@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

  • MarkaMackem Mackem (@MarkaMackem) reported from Seaham, England

    @Flittdog @Jo7Lawton @JackieMayes5 @Adamphayward @finbarr_poland @piersmorgan @virginmedia This particular job is not classed as key as its not a service everyone wants

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I keep getting message that blueyonder server is down and as such cannot log into VM or get and send emails

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia .... 0420 and still no service 😡😡😡😡😡

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia what has happened with the service in ne33 4hn area as I have no phone line no internet and no tv service

  • Andymorris74 Andrew Morris ⚽️ (@Andymorris74) reported from South Shields, England

    How about @skytv giving movie channels for free across all platforms @virginmedia @bt_uk and help keep people at home! Come on, do your bit Sky TV 👍

  • Marilyn_huartt Marilyn malibu (@Marilyn_huartt) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • kieranwby_ Kieran (@kieranwby_) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    4 days running wrang Virgin media regarding my broadband contract hold time of 40 mins then get cut off and in app support doesn’t help or live chat jokes man @virginmedia

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia emails are not working the solution by Virgin is to log into My virgin media can you tell me how to do this when it is not recognising my log in and your call centres are all closed

  • fossdog_ Jake Fossey (@fossdog_) reported from Stanley, England

    @virginmedia are genuinely ******* shit

  • dodgestweet Matt Dodge Donnelly (@dodgestweet) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia three times since I first reported that I was having problems with all my services and it has gone down again

  • RobbyRSSRobot Robby (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Just checking as it calls me your customer and I'm not! 🤣

  • MajorManor lee major (@MajorManor) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • JetRhino JamJar🕐 (@JetRhino) reported

    @virginmedia why does the service outtage repair keep getting delayed in the en9 area. We've been without tv or wifi for 4 or 5 days now and every ETA is pushed back a day... Not great for a bank holiday weekend...

  • leonagraham Leona 🎸 Graham (@leonagraham) reported

    @virginmedia having had the worse service all year and literally no internet daily. I finally get rid of you, get harassed to return equipment (which you collected promptly about the only thing you did quickly) and now a letter stating I owe you 80 quid in equipment.

  • AdetimoleBen Gbenga (@AdetimoleBen) reported

    @virginmedia That doesn’t help

  • AgnewJodie Jodie Convey (@AgnewJodie) reported

    @virginmedia The way lies are told on your service update page.

  • kcrookers Katie Crookshank (@kcrookers) reported

    @virginmedia pls help. My 71 yr ol mum has been without her landline for over a month. 5 rescheduled appointments by text and endless calls to call centre who say a manager will call and the next appointment will go ahead and still nothing. #help #virginmedia #badcustomerservice

  • james2288 James (@james2288) reported

    @virginmedia WHY???? Why should i?? It's your server issue. Fix it!

  • kelly_mehmet Kelly Mehmet (@kelly_mehmet) reported

    @virginmedia Absolute disgraceful service. Another fob off…. Waste of time, will start looking for another provider, you clearly have not intention of trying to help.

  • IanC_yesitsme Ian C 🇬🇧🥰🇮🇱🇺🇲🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇯🇵 (@IanC_yesitsme) reported

    @sabseshadri @virginmedia It is shameful they don't have restricted service back ups in place... Firbre optic cables should have back ups in place that travel a different physical route.. in case of damage.. Obviously no one at @virginmedia is that clever

  • jonnyhill36 Jonathan Hill (@jonnyhill36) reported

    @leonagraham @virginmedia Worst company ever. C*nts from top to bottom.

  • IanC_yesitsme Ian C 🇬🇧🥰🇮🇱🇺🇲🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇯🇵 (@IanC_yesitsme) reported
