    @virginmedia They advised, reset, changing from 2.4 to 5. Then back again. Changing the settings on the account. Done this multiple times. Customer service hung up on me then I rang back again and was told I hung up on them. Awaiting a supervisor call. It’s never worked since installation

  • Gurudarlington Guru Boutique (@Gurudarlington) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia The number I wanted to retain is at my private address not my work address which is shown on this Twitter account. I doubt the number is still live with BT and I feel let down.

    Hey @virginmedia your WiFi down yet again, third time this week. I’m in TS16 but suspect we are not alone #virginmediadown

  • StricklandPaula PH NQOT (She/her) 💙 (@StricklandPaula) reported from Shildon, England

    Our @virginmedia package - both TV and broadband- has been really poor lately. Totally frustrating 😑

  • 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.

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

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia I called up about 6 weeks ago about the poor quality of the wifi, I was offered another booster free of charge. Then I received an email to say my bill was going up by £15.someone said they would listen to call, no one got bk 2 me & I called the other day & was told I was out of

  • Lorryolly Lorraine Ripley (@Lorryolly) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia so dissatisfied when I made a call to see if any reductions could be me to be fobbed off and advised I have the best package, the advisor was no help at all and clearly reading from a script. No bedside manner. And now my landline has suddenly stopped working!!!😥

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

    @virginmedia There isn’t any reported problems in my area but mine is very ‘hit and miss’ at the moment. I’ll go for periods where nothing will upload/download at all

  • Wathey Shaun Wathey (@Wathey) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia how do I make a complaint?

  • Gurudarlington Guru Boutique (@Gurudarlington) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia I’m the home owner Beryl Hankin, and was told the phone number would stay the same when I changed. I queried this with the Virgin engineer who rang Virgin and assured me it was in hand. That was weeks ago but it never happened.

  • RobLow_7 W. W. L. D. ? He'd stay at home. (@RobLow_7) reported from Sacriston, England

    @OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

  • 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

  • NevilleLishman Neville Lishman (@NevilleLishman) reported from Durham, England

    5 hrs now. Just rude @virginmedia just rude. Clearly little of your astronomically charges is spent on your customer service department. It's a recruitment Sargent for @skytv

  • Ben_McBean You're a cantaloupe ÂûDHD (@Ben_McBean) reported from Yarm, England

    @virginmedia I switched it off at the mains at 13:00. Still not working. Also received a vishing message from a fake VM account about these messages.

  • pauljacques83 Paul Jacques (@pauljacques83) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Been in my new house 13 day and for the third time tomorrow I have a @virginmedia technician coming out to 'fix' my wifi. Fingers crossed this one actually takes and it's third time's the charm

  • TownsJake JAKE (@TownsJake) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia has the worst customer service by an absolute stretch, been trying to sort my broadband and tv out for about 6 hours

  • TownsJake JAKE (@TownsJake) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia No i just been disconnected so this is another 2 hours wasted, i just want to cancel my services now

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Does anyone from your customer care actually ring you back? My newly installed so called fast WiFi has not worked correctly since install… Terrible product….

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I’ve done all that’s recommended. Logged complaints, customer service can’t help, I’m still awaiting a supervisor to contact…

  • ge07gyp George Polycarpou (@ge07gyp) reported

    @skytv @skyhelpteam how poor of you to sell me Ultrafast fibre into my home then only deliver using existing old copper cabling. I feel completely robbed and cheated. Should not have let you talk me out of switching to @virginmedia

    @virginmedia Is there a known issue in Edenbridge (TN8)? My internet has been flaky for a few days and has now gone down completely. The Hub 3 looks OK, the test said there was no problem and broadband status is green but I have no connection at the moment.

  • robackroyd YorkshireGuy (@robackroyd) reported

    @IcelandFoods No point as your customer service is actually worse than @virginmedia .. which to be honest is quite an achievement. I suggest you consider using taxis for missed delivers and wake up.. @asda next time

    @virginmedia broadband is very slow cm20 3dd area

  • Joshhuck93 Josh (@Joshhuck93) reported

    Not a great start with @virginmedia….since getting it haven’t had any tv due to an ‘error on the network’ which will take 2 days to fix. Also can’t log in to the tv app. Regretting moving from @bt_uk already
