  • TerryFBH Terry Chapman or FBH (@TerryFBH) reported from Yarm, England

    @virginmedia I look forward to receiving your offer regarding the complaints that I already made and have still not received a response. I suppose you could consider this a further complaint that your complaints process is inadequate.

    @virginmedia Hi. Weve just moved house and are trying to install a new router but house connections look out of date. What is the best contact for someone to help with this as may need someone to come out?

  • petersnowdon Peter Snowdon (@petersnowdon) reported from Darlington, England

    40 mins on the phone to @virginmedia on hold listening to poor music ....have you thought of recruiting some staff? Plenty of people would love a job at the moment...mad way to run a business

  • davedome Dave (@davedome) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia any issues in the DL3 area? Broadband crashed about 10mins and hasn't been back on since.

  • petersnowdon Peter Snowdon (@petersnowdon) reported from Darlington, England

    Hi @virginmedia received a letter this morning advising me of price rise and providing a link for more info. The link directs me to call and you don't answer. Any suggestions? I'd like to cancel my service with you. Thanks

  • MarksWeb41 Mark Webster (@MarksWeb41) reported from Darlington, England

  • TerryFBH Terry Chapman or FBH (@TerryFBH) reported from Yarm, England

    @virginmedia Why does your organisation make it so difficult to raise a complaint? Please advise with whom I may raise this.

  • kara44234 KaraS4234 (@kara44234) reported from Durham, England

    @virginmedia In which looking deeper into the matter alot lof people are saying the same think since they have moved to virgin media its shocking the lies you have informed customers that you will never have issues with WiFi speed having fiber utter rubbish

  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Yes unable to use it. Wireless is very poor and was great during the first couple of weeks. Uploading is very hot and miss. Not happy considering I’m paying for fast broadband. My phone rarely connects to it unless I’m fairly close to the router. This can’t be right

  • kara44234 KaraS4234 (@kara44234) reported from Durham, England

    @virginmedia What else would you expect when you have been offered a service you don't get

  • wolfrubin Christian Wolf Rubin (@wolfrubin) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia The worst bit is that I was on hold for 36 minutes listened to the same song 3 times and then was hung up on.

  • Lopek Andy Gibson (@Lopek) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia It's the continued problems that annoy me. Down again now, third time this Easter Weekend. Yes it's showing as down on your dashboard. I always check & flag it when I (also) have a problem. Getting worse all the time. Beyond a joke.

  • mark_xc Mark Baldwin (@mark_xc) reported from Solihull, England

    @virginmedia why are you not supporting key workers through these challenging times? Both my wife & I are key workers supporting the NHS & the food industry from home yet you fail to fix our Broadband issues for 3 wks. We can’t work. You just fob us off @piersmorgan @BorisJohnson

  • oliver_jgm Oliver Gard-Murray (@oliver_jgm) reported

    @virginmedia My internet went down yesterday. After 1.5hrs on the phone with unhelpful and rude tech support, I was told it would be back online Friday. How are you supporting your customers during the pandemic when you don’t even provide the service we need to work remotely?

  • ADRyde2 Alex Ryde (@ADRyde2) reported

    @virginmedia is there a way to request to bring broadband to my area, keep saying write your details down but 2 years later still have bad Internet.

  • StrikezAFC RA (@StrikezAFC) reported

    How's my internet been down the whole day and it's estimated to be fixed tomorrow morning tf @virginmedia

  • Imple Sarah Skelton (@Imple) reported

    @virginmedia yo! What's a customer for to do to be able to downgrade packages? The website's all about fleecing us for even more money, not about how to help us save any.

  • Matt_BCC Matt (@Matt_BCC) reported

    @virginmedia engineer didn't turn up. Hospital relying on our landline (MIL dying) and your complaints process seeks to resolves issues "within 28 days"? Seemingly no other way of getting past your iron curtain to get some service. Seriously? #virginmedia

  • MaireadRG Mairéad Rose (@MaireadRG) reported

    @virginmedia I would like a response to my complaint please.

  • ameliaaaolive ᴀᴍᴇʟɪᴀ ᴏʟɪᴠᴇ (@ameliaaaolive) reported

    @virginmedia most useless company ever. Upgraded to a new to package, as a loyal customer. Unable to provide the channels and internet I am paying for. Can’t even provide me the right equipment I am paying for either to set it up; so can’t even use it and been paying for a week.
