  CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported 44 seconds ago from Walker Gate, England

  Wakey wakey @virginmedia shoddy service not to update a LOT of the UK on broadband problems

• 
  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 6 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

  Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported 7 minutes ago from Walker Gate, England

  What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

  LadyDi (@didixon74) reported 7 minutes ago from Blyth, England

  @virginmedia In October agreed new contract, came to install last week got new router and have since cancelled the packages that was agreed. I am now been charged more and getting less services. Tried to resolve last week over the phone & not no further forward so just want to cancel now.

  @virginmedia I look forward to the money off the bill for the issues.

  Mike Moody (@classicm) reported 16 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia All my tv, broadband and phone services are down. Nobody available from Virgin to help. Done all the usual checks and still off.

  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 19 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

  @virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now

  Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported 28 minutes ago from Mitford, England

  @virginmedia @virginmedia still no reply. Have asked 3 times how 2 claim back for our additional browsing fees incurred due 2 #VirginMedia’s incompetence & are ghosted by your ‘customer resolve agent’. great when we spoke to her, was clearly pacifying.Happy to name her & share her email here?

• 
  Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported 28 minutes ago from Chester-le-Street, England

  “You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

• 
  Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported 29 minutes ago from Mitford, England

  @virginmedia We’ve never received a reply and no out of office. My wife has sent a chase last night. Feel really let down by @virginmedia #LetDown #PoorCustomerExperience

  Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported 39 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

• 
  Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported 45 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

• 
  NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 46 minutes ago from Walker Gate, England

  Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 46 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.

  Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported 48 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help

  🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported 49 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  You lot need to sort yourselves out, Internet going down around midnight for the past few days yet you charge the earth @virginmedia

• 
  Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported 55 minutes ago from Hebburn, England

  @virginmedia please advise Reduced mobile signal in the NE31 area. The signals were fine until a couple of months ago. previously had 4g I now mainly get E or sometimes 3G this is an issue due to my elderly mother-in-law being in hospital and now very poor signal in their home

  @ToddCoxeter @virginmedia Prime signed me up to some channel and I never asked for it

• 
  🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇲🇯🇲✝️ (@25watchtower) reported 8 minutes ago

  @Stsantek @virginmedia Yup, just dumped Virgin for EE. Although I swore I’d never use BT again after an appalling experience with them before switching to Virgin, I wouldn’t continue using their extortionate services anymore

• 
  Steven Porter (@ste_porter) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I've resigned up for a new 24 month contract on 10th June (contract expiring 5th july). And when I now log in you tell me my contract has expired. Always find your customer services so bad. Please fix - I have my order confirmation and contract details.

• 
  Ryan Brittain (@ryanbrittain1) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @ElJaffoGuzman I’ve had the same issue, my virgin media bill is twice as expensive as the next nearest price. Virgin not interested. I could cancel and rejoin it would be cheaper and cost them

• 
  Dermot O'Leary (@dollDCFC) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @siemaiqbal The only tweets we ever see here about Virgin are those complaining when their service has been interrupted, which is understandable.I wonder though what % of Virgin customers it represents? From personal experience my service has been out a very few times over 20+ years.

• 
  Leanne (@LeanneG086) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia hi, is there a broadband issue in B44? I work from home and unable to connect

• 
  Ryan (@MrRWatts) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia trying to reach a human as you've cancelled my broadband early and your IVR? No wonder you got fined 28million... any chance of actually getting help from someone?

• 
  Nathan Gage (@NathanGage15) reported 21 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @BonesE78 My contract is about to expire I won't be renewing it as the best price they can do is double what I'm currently paying however a new customer can get the same package for £10pm cheaper than what I'm currently paying.

  @Ofcom Virgin media has been awful to deal with for as long as I can remember, it's ridiculous that it has taken this long.

  @virginmedia VM: We’re switching you to VOIP phone Me: oh great now more stuff to go wrong In last 3 weeks the internet has gone down 4 or 5 times for 10 - 20 minutes, how can I check the status when all you do is point to a website 🤔🙈
