    @virginmedia New one is I was hoping to sign up to some sort of TV package, but when logged into my online account it gives me a "oops" with no option, so I need to talk to someone. Experience with the number you have given me has been poor, I want to avoid it!

  • body_mindfitco Paul Edgar (@body_mindfitco) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 6 days now without home Internet, landline and TV. No apology, no explanation from Virgin. Parents who rely on these communication lines. Terrible service.

  • CompaneroDave David (@CompaneroDave) reported from Wallsend, England

    Have been forced upstairs to watch the match in the PS4. WiFi is usually crap up here. But, no, it's working perfectly so I'm forced to watch #NUFC. Cheers @virginmedia, why can't you do this when I'm trying to work?!

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia So we are not just going to write it off as a bad job. Plus my mam finds it hard to understand the persons at the other end of the phone and why they ask for her bank details all we asked was to post out her password for her mobile account.

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia Still no update from anyone at Virgin - just time buying questions. Can someone (who can help) contact me so I can resolve this today or I'll be cancelling the whole order.

  • woodyz786 Woody (@woodyz786) reported

  • magic_peacock The Magic Peacock (@magic_peacock) reported

    @virginmedia Outrageous customer service after 20 years of custom. Simple name change took 3 years of trying and then 5 hours on complaints line to implement. Got upgrade of broadband as a sweetener. Told it was cheaper. First bill £118! Wtf

  • paulmason1986 Paul Mason (@paulmason1986) reported

    Cheers @virginmedia for letting me know that you're "improving my service" I now have no Internet or TV and I work from home.... Automated message says can be up to 6pm tonight!! Why didn't anyone contact me??

  • MandyJaneT Mandy T (@MandyJaneT) reported

    @virginmedia I have contacted via WhatsApp they say 24 hrs. In tha last week alone we have had 3 lengthy outages. It doesn’t advise anything online. It really isn’t acceptable. Our complaint was closed by email too without resolution.

  • mattryles Matt Ryles (@mattryles) reported

    Internet goes down for over 300 times this month alone. @virginmedia "We can only diagnose live issues"

  • aidomagoo Aidan Magrath (@aidomagoo) reported

    @virginmedia They’re a representation of what speeds the hub is outputting though, and that’s the issue - the hub is massively underperforming on wifi. That written statement from virgin guarantees 100mbps on my package, doesn’t specify being on Ethernet connection. I’m getting 20. 1/2

  • MikeCope11 Mike Cope (@MikeCope11) reported

    @virginmedia hey guys any issues with broadband in Surrey area? Paying for 200mb broadband and currently getting 12mb downloads? 😓
