  • alcampion alan (@alcampion) reported from Stillington, England

    @virginmedia it’s slightly better now but these issues keep a curing now and then but nothing gets done about it I rang about a month ago with same problem so you’re team said they will give a reduction in my bill the following month but that never happened so I’m done with you.

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia There seems to be a network problem. The box had a green light flashing. Our phones & iPads are connect but the sky boxes don’t seem to be. Can I DM you please

  • ThunderbirdWPC Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia The person that put me on hold said it looked like there was a problem in our area and tried to put me through to technical help but after music droning on for ages it just stopped. Have given up and watching a dvd instead

    @virginmedia you’re broadband service is disgusting! Down more times than enough and your call centre staff are totally clueless! I guess I’m looking for a new service provider!

  • lukejameson17 luke jameson (@lukejameson17) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia right you want to explain why my broadband is at 4mbps when there’s no “issue” in my area... hate to tell you there clearly ******* is

  • ThunderbirdWPC Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    Been hanging on phone to @virginmedia for 19 mins and then got cut off! Was 54 mins the other week. Do you think we have time just to sit around! Problems with tv service! Same yesterday in our NE16 area

  • GlocketCosplay ✾Bam Bam✾ (@GlocketCosplay) reported from Dunston, England

    Yeah great, I lose my TFT ranked after hard winning most of it because @virginmedia internet service goes down more consistently then most men.

  • AL_SNR58 Allan Davis (@AL_SNR58) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Tomorrow. This has been going on for over two weeks intermittent but the way I was treated was not the way to treat a loyal customer

  • Darylx Daryl (@Darylx) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Can you please help me. I've rang twice to upgrade my TiVo box free upgrade. Tried online can't do it. First time cut off. Web chat I tried was told I had to phone.40 mins in second time lady was having system issues so transferred me and guess what I was cut off

    right shower of shite the customer service from @virginmedia paying for monthly for nothing 😡🤬

  • Matt72423 Matty Erskine (@Matt72423) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia It is now, I think, five months since I made a complaint which has yet to be dealt with. To say that I'm not impressed with your 'customer services' would be a bit of an understatement.

    @virginmedia if there was an award for poor service delivery/ worst broadband provider Virgin would have no competition, they are truly appalling

    @virginmedia @VirginMediaCorp Your TV 360 Box is absolutely shocking!! Recorded programmes constantly freeze & are unwatchable. Sound quality is abmismal, synchronisation of sound to picture is appalling!! Why am I paying for software & a service you clearly have fully tested?

  • stevenmillie steven scott (@stevenmillie) reported

    @virginmedia #lutzshuler Lutz how does it make you feel to know you run a company that delivers such a bad service . I am now 24 hrs without broadband/ internet. I will keep you posted on progress so you can pretend to be interested in your customers

  • Hocky69 Chris Hodgkinson (@Hocky69) reported

    @virginmedia It is multi room I got promised off customer retention team. I have a box in my living room. But I cancelled my service. Customer retention phoned me up and offered me a deal.

    @virginmedia when will the issue in area 14, s71 be sorted? We've been without broadband for 2 days now, today being the third. Can't get through to speak to an advisor about any of it. Easter weekend in lockdown, with no service. No engineers to be seen either.
