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

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia i tried google and doesnt work.

  • bigpinkdressgnr BIG PINK DRESS (@bigpinkdressgnr) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Your customer service was the worst ever One guy actually shouted at us Your TV never worked your internet went off at night We constantly had to reboot All while paying you a small fortune So no we won't be returning

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

    @sky do you resolve customer complaints in less time than the 3 weeks @virginmedia need #imightneedanewprovider #coolingoffperiod #virginmediasaga

  • 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.

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia can you help me with a broadband technical issue. I have 200Mb, power cycle the router daily and still by the end of the day end up with super slow speeds. Less than 1Mb tonight. Thanks.

  • MrPaulDH Paul Humphreys (@MrPaulDH) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia waiting waiting on the phone no internet at all now your Auto mated checking service says a problem need to speak to your CS. Waiting waiting 30 minutes now

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

    @virginmedia @virginmedia the Royal baby will have his own baby before you sort my issue out or answer the phone #virginmedia #virginmediasaga

  • Stevedey Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia must be 8pm. Internets down 😂 #clockwork

  • 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

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

    Things that have happened in the time it takes for @virginmedia to resolve a complaint. #Royalbaby has been born, #Liverpool beat Barca, Maya got caught on #Emmerdale, #iran have threatened to change their #nucleardear. #virginmediasaga

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

    @virginmedia it's a shame I don't have a #timestone so I could go back and never get a service with you #stealingcustomersmoney

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

    @virginmedia what an absolute #nightmare to #cancel my services because I’m movinghouse my call has been hung up on #twice now #1andahalf hours on the phone and I’m still on #hold 🤬

  • john_barrass John Barrass (@john_barrass) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia service down phone lines closed internet fecked no apology you are a disgrace #virginmediasucks #getyouracttogether #feelsliketheft #customerserviceisnil #whereismyrefund

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

    @virginmedia #virginmediasaga on hold to yourselves again. #youneednewholdmusic. Although I do find it ironic that you play a song with the lyrics 'I'm a sucker for you. The only suckers are the customers like me that can't seem to get issues resolved! #virginmedia #thieves

  • Russell_Kain Russell Kain (@Russell_Kain) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hey its been like this for a while. I have the power socket scheduled to restart every night, but it isn't helping. Ive also reset to factory settings numerous times as well as try different wireless channels. WiFi is only part of the problem though as the issue exists on cable

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

    So your staff forgot to cancel my service properly and then conveniently raised two new bills rather than giving us the 70 pound you owe us. 2 X managers and not a clue between any of them #virginmedia #thieves #makethecustomerpayforyourmistakea

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia no just have to put password and email address in. The green tick appear then keeps saying sign in

  • CarlMShepherd Just Carl Shepherd (@CarlMShepherd) reported

    WiFi has been down for 5 days now, boy I sure love not being able to do any of my assignments, with the deadline rapidly approaching, and this somehow not counting as mitigating circumstances. So yeah **** @virginmedia

  • AbiGillibrand Abi Gillibrand (@AbiGillibrand) reported

    @virginmedia Hi! It's been two weeks now and my internet is still going down... Do you know when it will be secure again - it's just really inconvenient with working from home 🥺🙏

  • EpiphanyA5 Epiphany A (@EpiphanyA5) reported

    @virginmedia absolute dog **** of a service!!! Staff in your call centres are RUDE! Constantly on hold or waiting for over an hour to get through! Going over the same ****!!! Still waiting for the manager of technical to contact me! Poor excuse of a service

  • Bennzky ben (@Bennzky) reported

    @virginmedia its been an issue for ages thats why i keep trying to get help but nothing

  • adamfletcher03 Adam Fletcher 🌳 (@adamfletcher03) reported

    @virginmedia A reliable service would be a start

  • DeviousPL PL84 (@DeviousPL) reported

    @virginmedia Is one of the gifts an internet and TV connection that doesn’t go offline all the time? Or how about competent customer service? I know I know, I’m probably asking way too much...

  • rmills599 RICHARD MILLS (@rmills599) reported

    @virginmedia Probably 25 days off poor/no customer service, not getting what I pay for. Fobbed off, lied to, cut off. Hours of waiting to speak to someone who cannot help. Been told to text a number which does not reply.

  • edandersen Ed Andersen (@edandersen) reported

    Just saw some really weird behavior with Virgin Media cable.. was getting slow downloads until I ran SpeedTest. Then they went back to normal. Hmmm

  • gaz_dance Rita Miller (@gaz_dance) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. Existing customer here. Disappointed with the trouble I'm having transferring services to my new address - you keep changing/not confirming the date. Makes WFH tricky during a pandemic. Message me x

    @virginmedia I have and they say that they will turn up but they never do
