    Wondering if @virginmedia can explain the service outage I've had in NE21 for the last 3 hours? Having to watch #NFLRedZone on my phone

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

  • GraemeBell_NUFC Graeme Bell (@GraemeBell_NUFC) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to an understanding and reasonable human please? Or do they not exist in your company? I’ve had nothing but trouble from day one and the customer service has been woeful

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No but I have now dealt with it via your customer services and asked to remove my mam from virgin sales list. Thanks

  • HBP_Surgery_CHS Ben Banerjee (@HBP_Surgery_CHS) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

  • finswimmerjohn1 John Lavender - #Speedowarrior (@finswimmerjohn1) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia We have two VM boxes for collection as we have already left your network. Can you please arrange for someone to disconnect and collect them? Thanks in anticipation.

  • schizoid007 John Lacey (@schizoid007) reported from Gateshead, England

    Can't wait till my contract is up with @virginmedia to move back to @skytv probably the worst TV experience I've ever had. Horrendous hardware, UI and Operating System

  • bev_middleton Bev Middleton (@bev_middleton) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia furious that I have been double charged for a bill, then I try to message support and its been over 1 week and nothing done, single parent who already paid the bill is not happy

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Nice adverts for your content, shame my recorded delivery complaint about my issue originating in MARCH (after three failed online submissions and pointless texts) has still not been acknowledged,been ignored,treating a customer as a piece of 💩 way to go 👏🏻

  • peterat50 peter atkinson #FBPE (@peterat50) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone thinking of dealing with @virginmedia don’t their customer service is woeful . Another hour wasted trying to contact them 😡

  • L88HRS Lee (@L88HRS) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • DavidCane David Cane (@DavidCane) reported

    @virginmedia That's done, now I'm waiting for a call back as it's been escalated. As an extra, how can I reset my account password as apparently that's not the same as the one I use to log into every other VM service?

  • XSARA_ XSARA 🇬🇧 🇪🇬 🇸🇪 (@XSARA_) reported

    @virginmedia Pre installation has said they can't help me and ask security questions. Is the service you recommended to explain why my installation has not arrived and been postponed. ANOTHER abroad call centre who basically said he can't help me So who do I call about installation?

  • BayJayZus 𝙱𝚊𝚢𝙹𝚊𝚢𝚉𝚞𝚜🥀 (@BayJayZus) reported

    @virginmedia It seems that it's only @virginmedia who are surprised when every school holiday their insecure Comms box at the end of my street gets broken into and hundreds of people lose their broadband!?.. Apparently we aren't paying them enough to put a lock on the doors!..

  • Lazychris14 Lazy chris 🎮🎮 🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@Lazychris14) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Virgin can I have an email plz can u give us credit of our bill virgins down yet again, been off a lot this week would you be able to offer credit off on our bill for this 👀

  • XSARA_ XSARA 🇬🇧 🇪🇬 🇸🇪 (@XSARA_) reported

    @virginmedia @LutzSchueler The customer service and call centres has been atrocious. Many times I am on the phone for an hour to only be hung up on. I am transferred to multiple departments in various countries who don't know why my Internet has not been installed

  • thealbino Rich (@thealbino) reported

    @virginmedia It took less than two hours to send someone to repair the H&S issue, leaving me with no service. Now you can't fix it for nearly a week.

  • bryceroberts122 Bryceroberts (@bryceroberts122) reported

    @virginmedia It says the service is fine. Mine isnt though and for the second day running we have no wifi

  • SarahAuty Sarah Auty (@SarahAuty) reported

    @virginmedia truly shocking customer service today. Rang for my security key to be re-emailed.Advisor tells me everything about my outstanding plan. Can I have my security key? Yes I can send you your credit agreement she says - and proceeds to send me a statement of balance 🤔

  • xluk3e Luke Edwards (@xluk3e) reported

    @virginmedia as long as i dont have to wait days for a reply then sure. if it takes too long or they don't help then ill be back on this thread

  • blois_kevin kevin blois (@blois_kevin) reported

    @virginmedia Continuing….. I was made to feel like I was lying by Travis who said he could find nothing stating any works were being carried out!! He offered me a solution of boosters for £5 extra per month. That is fantastic, not!! £5 extra to get back to the service I was receiving prior!
