  • borolad1965 David Sanderson (@borolad1965) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia we are having severe broadband issues in Darlington area this weekend. I'm in DL3 9 area. Other postcodes DL1 as well having issues. Logged with faults and advised it would be sorted 10.10pm yesterday. STILL off this morning and no texts. Please advise.

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    @15minutegamer @virginmedia These go from when it's actually due and not from when it was paid which in my opinion is stupid. Yet I just get this message to say that and I've not even had an ebill.

  • funksoulHulk Chris Noble (@funksoulHulk) reported from Darlington, England

    @Tweeter_Tori @LindaGHug @virginmedia Exactly. It's great when it works. If it doesn't work then it's no good. How fast do you need. Noone needs 100mps it's a waste

  • Paulhut20013625 Hutchy (@Paulhut20013625) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @bt_uk why has my internet speed slowed down just as we @virginmedia digging up the street 🤔

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia It's down AGAIN! 😤😡

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia I checked on the app and apparently there's "No known issues" ever since last week its been going off an on! Sick to death of this now

  • rosssimpson Ross William (@rosssimpson) reported from Darlington, England

    @MiniMosh @virginmedia Also not working in DL1 @virginmedia please sort this :-)

  • 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.

  • alcampion alan (@alcampion) reported from Stillington, England

    @virginmedia it’s slightly better now but these issues keep a curing now and then but nothing gets done about it I rang about a month ago with same problem so you’re team said they will give a reduction in my bill the following month but that never happened so I’m done with you.

  • tim_robson_1980 uosqoᴚ ɯı⊥ (@tim_robson_1980) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Absolute joke! After telling them it's not a virgin mobile they said that chat was for faults only and to ring the same premium rate number to speak to someone. Your customer service really is laughable

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    So I get a text off @virginmedia to say my service will be suspended due to a missed payment, I haven't even received a bill! 😡

  • 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!

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    So once again @virginmedia my broadband has gone down! 3 times this week! I swear I'm changing providers sick of this now #VirginMedia

  • tim_robson_1980 uosqoᴚ ɯı⊥ (@tim_robson_1980) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia disgusting customer service. On hold for 20 minutes for someone to answer and say they need to transfer me..on hold for a further 28 minutes for someone to answer, ask my name and hang up! Rang back for an automated service to say you're too busy to talk to me 😡

  • lebell83 Lee Bell (@lebell83) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Why is @virginmedia internet so poor. It’s like having dial up back

  • chrisblewitt85 Chris Blewitt (@chrisblewitt85) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia been on hold for 50 minutes waiting to renew to a lesser deal than a new customer can get, online, with the click of a button! Think your customer service needs some Oomph!

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    Great so it seems to be a day of running on data today as @virginmedia apparently have "broadband issues" AGAIN 🙄

  • marcusdempsey Marcus Dempsey (@marcusdempsey) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Another day another broadband outage. :(

  • Matt72423 Matty Erskine (@Matt72423) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia It is now, I think, five months since I made a complaint which has yet to be dealt with. To say that I'm not impressed with your 'customer services' would be a bit of an understatement.

  • davedome Dave (@davedome) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 on hold for 30mins to be hung up on when connected. Not a great way to treat your new customers. Regretting opting for your services so far.

  • JimboKimbo James Kimbley (@JimboKimbo) reported

    @virginmedia It is horrendous customer service, your agents only give a minute or two to reply on WhatsApp before they close the conversation and you have to start over. Can you get this escalated. @Ofcom really needs to investigate Virgin Media.

  • BKR_Bathrooms Ben Baker (@BKR_Bathrooms) reported

    @virginmedia fastest internet slowest customer relations @CISASUK @richardbranson they’re destroying your company name how are you letting them do that!

  • nicodsmit Nico Daniel Smit (@nicodsmit) reported

    @virginmedia …but he did not tell me. Pat asked me to leave it with him, they would get it resolved. Pay never called back. NOTHING got resolved. Today 29 Jan I called Pat, who simply said yeah no one got around to do it, but a new cable is coming in February. So 21 days on. And nothing…
