  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

    @virginmedia It's always 47.37 when it should be a straight £47. We do everything online and never get paper stuff to do with our package or billing

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It was for my internet and TV account. I've managed to do it on my housemates app as they had no issues with the app.

  • hellsbells610 Hells Bells 🐧 (@hellsbells610) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia are there issues in the Gateshead area. Broadband keeps on going down. Tried turning hub off/on, but not helping.

  • mightymagpie99 mightymagpie99 (@mightymagpie99) reported from Newburn, England

    @damieng5 @garethmck1987 @virginmedia @NETGEAR I agree. I have the same set up . With Virgin SH3 no wifi signal to conservatory. With Orbi mesh network wifi everywhere in house & in the garden too. Costs a bit more but woryh it IMO.

  • ll370 IanBurns (@ll370) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 2 weeks back with you and my signal keeps dropping almost every single day, best internet provider. I think I have grounds to terminate my contract. What a joke

  • gemmafisher5 gemma fisher (@gemmafisher5) reported from Gateshead, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Very much doubt it Mark; like I say- they have the market sewn up so can treat their existing customers with contempt.

  • JonMilner94 Jonathan Milner (@JonMilner94) reported

    @virginmedia I honestly don't recall unless I forgot to write it down in which case is there a way for me to find this out? I signed up through compare the market that then sent me to the virgin website

  • dawiisss Riley/David (@dawiisss) reported

    @virginmedia Can you finally fix your s***, this is starting to get very annoying. The internet keeps on constantly going out. Every flipping day.

  • JamesMorley92 James Russell-Morley (@JamesMorley92) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely appalled by the situation with our broadband. Have made an online complaint and rang twice and was promised twice a return call within 72 hours which hasn’t happened. Can someone please sort this out ASAP.

  • ohhellomonroe 𝐵𝑒𝒶𝓊𝓉𝒾𝒻𝓊𝓁 • 𝒞𝒽𝒶𝑜𝓈 🌿 (@ohhellomonroe) reported

    @Ianan90 @virginmedia I’m waiting TalkTalk and they’ve been amazing ! Virgin is crap.

  • a_tuts Anna (@a_tuts) reported

    @virginmedia I have called probably 6 times, usually it just says they will reset the router and then it hangs up. Last week I spoke to an engineer who reset it and promised to call back and then never did ...

  • cherryberrylorr Sheridan (@cherryberrylorr) reported

    @virginmedia haven’t sent the correct equipment to start my new package, spend hours on the phone and get nowhere. Installation contractor doesn’t turn up and no communication. Now left without any television and an official complaint doesnt even get you a call back within a week

  • Super_Kaath SuperKaath (@Super_Kaath) reported

    Imagine the stress of moving home during a pandemic whilst just getting THE WORST customer service I've ever received from #virginmedia - 18 hours of calls down, maybe 36 to go for a simple request?

  • cherryberrylorr Sheridan (@cherryberrylorr) reported

    @virginmedia 2 TiVo boxes, I have only got one. No I’m not a new customer I have been with Virgin for many years but wanting to increase my package.

  • jody_green76 Jody Green (@jody_green76) reported

    @virginmedia Today I called and someone else couldn’t help and now waiting for my 3rd Callback but no idea when that will be.

  • a_tuts Anna (@a_tuts) reported

    @virginmedia that doesn't matter. this is now how you treat new customers. You should have actual customer service.
