  • beck5ter Jason N Beck (@beck5ter) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @bt_uk I certainly will, as no matter how many phone calls to @virgin nothing improves, my kids have to use data on their telephones, Virgin Media's Wi-Fi and internet is terrible @richardbranson

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia Absolute joke, basically been told to get stuffed because they have no evidence of the call and offered £10 after being patronised again. Want to cancel, can't unless I pay over £200. Ombudsman it is then.

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia If not resolved in a reasonable time frame I will cancel and not pay any cancellation fees as the sale was misleadingly sold

  • thenatureboiiii cleveland216 (@thenatureboiiii) reported from Redcar, England

    @Monster_minder @virginmedia That's becos the tivo box is a piece of shit

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia yet to be contacted regarding a complaint I made 2 weeks ago. Didn't get the he complaint reference because the women was rude, the second person I spoke to assured me it had been logged and to allow a few days for it to be looked into.

  • MickDude MickDude (IndiePenDude) (@MickDude) reported from Redcar, England

    So my @virginmedia V6 box is sat with an orange light on and no apps work My broadband has gone off about 15 times in the last 2 weeks but the Service Status and online equipment check says everything is fine!!!! AGAIN!! #Rubbish

  • AmyIrving Amy Irving (@AmyIrving) reported from Egglescliffe, England

    Loving the customer service @virginmedia today- no fuss or hassle and the man I spoke to saved me money off my monthly bills thank you!

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Issues described nothing to do with my problem. TV goes off after 20 mins. Sound only. New HDMI lead did not solve problem was told to ring back just cannot get anyone to speak to. Can’t watch TV over a week now. Not good

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Just raised a new complaint via the website

  • 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.

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Hello, it's it relation to a package, phone, TV and broadband. I have received no communication what so ever on relation to this since logging the complaint.

  • gaussey 𝙼𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚎𝚕 (@gaussey) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia it’s a terrible state of affairs when you have to be told by an engineer there’s been an area fault for two weeks and you don’t know what is causing it or how to fix it.

  • PeteYourDoom Peter (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia Wired is fine. Wifi is fine but degrades on the first floor. Never used to be bad so wondering if faulty hub 3 or software change

  • JoBooth10 Jo Booth (@JoBooth10) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Shame your customer service doesn't have a little more oomph.

  • simonmp68 SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying for a week now to get an issue sorted with my TV. Keep getting cut off or not able to get through. Tried e-mail no reply I am now very unhappy,box keeps going sound only every 20 mins. Done all the checks says nothing wrong! Clearly!

  • beck5ter Jason N Beck (@beck5ter) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia It is a constant problem, mobile telephones say they are connected but arent, firesticks dip in and out, Alexa loses connection, ring door bell only 10ft away has very poor connection, it's been poor for a while each time I ring. I am told it will be fixed and it never is

  • MickDude MickDude (IndiePenDude) (@MickDude) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia broadband down again!!!

  • 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!

    @virginmedia You've been no help at all

  • jess_urquhartt Jess🥾🌍 (@jess_urquhartt) reported

    @virginmedia That says they can’t deal with WiFi faults..every time I ring it cuts me off and your online chat never works. I’ve put through complaints and had no reply either.

  • mrblackers1 Duncan (@mrblackers1) reported

    @virginmedia @baoselecta As if you have to write a letter to a broadband service because the service is that bad. What year have we gone back too?!

  • hufi1968 Sean Woodbridge (@hufi1968) reported

    @virginmedia intermittent service yet again in W5 postcode. How many “intermittent” days must we have before you provide a decent service? 200MB line is useless if there’s no service

  • elle__tay Elle (@elle__tay) reported

    @virginmedia No known issues. It comes back up to anywhere between 20-100mbps for a few minutes, sometimes seconds... then goes completely, to the point the speed test won't even run? Iamaged to call yesterday in the end and while the guy was perfectly helpful on why out Internet... 1/2

  • Joethelion79 El León 🦁 (@Joethelion79) reported

    @virginmedia Please look into the issue affecting area 20 BR1 area urgently. Internet has gone down.

  • lilackayleigh Kayleigh (@lilackayleigh) reported
