  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @anemoneproject @virginmedia @virgeinmedia The account is suspended now. I'm going to guess a disgruntled customer!

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    Looks like @virginmedia are just as rubbish as @BTtv their rubbish service has been failing all night making watching catchup TV a right pain looks like I need another provider

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Back up and working again I look forward to the next time your service fails - the worst service I’ve experienced since the demise of dial up internet and party line telephones 👎

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

    @lisadunn1978 @virginmedia I have just had hell on and demanded to speak to a manager. At first I was told there was no issue in our area and it was the router then the manager has told me that there is a problem in our area

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I have the App but having it confirm what I already know is no help whatsoever. Instead of investing in Apps that confirm your service is not fit for purpose why not invest in providing an unfailing service to customers. Currently you take money for services you can’t deliver

  • scottilderton Scott Ilderton (@scottilderton) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia on hold for 46 mins so far having select options to cancel. The guy the system put me through to cant do this🙄 So i’m back on hold what horrific service #operationkeepthemallonhold

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia @jeffsprogress It didn’t work for a day and you think it is a great experience and good service. With that attitude no wonder we get such a shit service

  • CraigShitpeas Craig Shitpeas (@CraigShitpeas) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia been without any form of data, email , Whatsapp, calls from 11am with #virginmobile looks like it’s UK wide ! Dreadful service. Just catching up on emails now in a local pub!! Awful communication by a company that claims to be so good at it.

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia And our Virgin TV has failed again your service truly is shite and a waste of my money looks like we are left with terrestrial TV through our always reliable tv aerial again you should be deeply ashamed of your outrageously poor service 👎

  • gordysocceruk gordon (@gordysocceruk) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia How long is this outage going to last been off for neatly 4 hours.

  • gilly562 Gill Anderson (@gilly562) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia no virgin mobile service, can’t make calls, can’t text or receive. No 4G. Been like this for an hour!! PLEASE CAN SOMEONE AT VIRGIN RESPOND!!! Lots of unhappy customers

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No sorry I'm meaning the Internet on my virgin mobile phone is slow

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It was just internet TV that day but today all your services telephone, TV (all channels) and the broadband are repeatedly failing - no idea why I get billed for such poor service I mean the phone FFS do you think it’s 1984!

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia I changed to Virgin because BT would drop out regularly in the middle of the Moto GP. Used to have a great service with Sky but they charge an extra 30 something quid for BT Sport

  • RobbyRSSRobot L🍩ui💲e (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    For all the poor sods like me who had nothing but trouble today! #VirginMedia #Virginmediaoutage

  • Clarquey Simon Clark (@Clarquey) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Hi @virginmedia. Trying to call, text, WhatsApp my wife today attempting to sort out our children etc and completely unable to. My contract has just been increased. Pretty shocking service and I'm paying more! I would expect some compensation at the very least 😡 #VirginOutage

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia I didn’t miss your point I just do t agree with it - if we pay for service everyday it should work every single day. I do not consider any failure to be a good service

  • FSVPhotography FSV Photography (@FSVPhotography) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I am sick of contacting yourselves regarding it. Your company does not seem to know which department I need to speak to. One minute It's customer care, then movers, then disconnections, who pass me back to customer care. #notaclue #virginmediasaga

  • AllinsonsPhoto AllinsonsPhotography (@AllinsonsPhoto) reported from Gateshead, England

    @jeffsprogress @virginmedia And no I can’t match it Virgin Media fails almost every week, we have a whole other level of shit service compared to you 👎

  • karenveater Karen Veater (@karenveater) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @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!

  • aimeemcs Aimée (@aimeemcs) reported

    @virginmedia What does she do if she hasn't had a response within 24hours? It's virgins mistake and could cost her her house so I think there really needs to be more done to help here

  • dexterlfc Chef D (@dexterlfc) reported

    @virginmedia why is this service so poor!!! Yet again no internet 3rd time in a week!!! No wonder guys jump ship to Sky with this kind of service!! Shocking!!

  • hanshoran Hannah Horan (@hanshoran) reported

    @virginmedia I have just received a letter saying you have tried to call me regarding my complaint but you haven’t at all. Now I can’t get through to your customer service line. Can you assist?

  • amit_m7 Amit Mandora (@amit_m7) reported

    @virginmedia I think you should read your auto compensation policy and amend it since covid has decimated the world. Your service has got worse since it happened and that’s poor. So I won’t be reading. I’ll be leaving. Goodbye KT, thanks for nothing at all. Merry Christmas without broadband.

  • iamrperry R (@iamrperry) reported

    @aimeemcs @virginmedia She won’t get one in 24hours. I’m waiting for a similar issue to be resolved and, one month after complaining, I’ve just received a letter to say they have “tried to call” (they haven’t) and now I have to text all my personal info to a robot. Ridiculous.

  • Wheely73 Neil Tomlinson (@Wheely73) reported

    @bt_uk Had a call. Still can’t rectify. Wish I could go back to @virginmedia as they were faultless in their service. Sadly not available here.

  • rbd600 rbd600 (@rbd600) reported

    Yet again @virginmedia broadband and tv are down. At least once a week this happens! Unbelievable! Anyone recommend a company that’s competent and actually provides a good service?

  • Saltbar Tony Barlow (@Saltbar) reported

    @virginmedia Does your broadband support VLAN tagging? I'm thinking of buying Google WiFi Mesh to go with your broadband.

  • natashaoconnor0 Tasha (@natashaoconnor0) reported

    @virginmedia Sorted. For now. But could be a repeat problem. Can I suggest a reduction on bill for the music torture and ruining my evening?

  • CameraCairns Mark Cairns (@CameraCairns) reported

    @virginmedia Last time I tried that I hang on hours and hours.
