  • Nattalingo Nathalie Paris (@Nattalingo) reported from Consett, England

    @virginmedia New one is I was hoping to sign up to some sort of TV package, but when logged into my online account it gives me a "oops" with no option, so I need to talk to someone. Experience with the number you have given me has been poor, I want to avoid it!

  • PaulGmedia Paul G (@PaulGmedia) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’ve done that and am now in a queue. Trouble is, last time I did this no-one ever called me...

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Yes but the number on the letter to text to just comes back fail to send. Then I rang 789 for my mam and this person had her in tears also, so we have give up.

  • Nattalingo Nathalie Paris (@Nattalingo) reported from Consett, England

    @virginmedia I do, about an ongoing complaint and a new query too, as well as this unresolved mobile query. Am supposed to have someone talking to me via text right now but they are very slow to respond! 2 meaningless texts in 13 minutes. Could someone please ring me?

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia So we are not just going to write it off as a bad job. Plus my mam finds it hard to understand the persons at the other end of the phone and why they ask for her bank details all we asked was to post out her password for her mobile account.

  • _AR91 Adam. (@_AR91) reported from South Shields, England

    It’s no wonder people pay for the dodgy sticks when you’ve got **** like this ffs @virginmedia

    Bruh bc of @virginmedia It will be over a month I can’t stream. I hate u guys , delayed the fix again til the 9th. You lot are jokers

  • denise_salinger Denise Salinger (@denise_salinger) reported

    @virginmedia I thought it had been resolved when I last spoke to someone in the terminations dept and had to pay outstanding bill even though I had previously tried to cancel but he was insistent that it had to be paid to terminate. I have now received another bill. More anguish for us!

  • kkrish07 Kartik Krishnaswamy (@kkrish07) reported

    @virginmedia your network in SW7 has been intermittent for months now. It doesn’t work half the time. You charge customers heavily and are unable to provide a stable broadband network. Shame.

  • Muso14554911 Muso (@Muso14554911) reported

    @virginmedia Done all that not sorted. Virgin keep saying we are away of the issue and we working to fix it this is now over 4 weeks. Joke.

  • georgiamac100 Georgia Mackenzie (@georgiamac100) reported

    @virginmedia have the worst customer service-weeks with intermittent/no service and after 30 minutes waiting to speak to someone they cut me off. #virgin is right, they don’t know what they’re doing!Disgusted from London #worstbroadbandprovider

  • wisdomdacosta Wisdom Da Costa (@wisdomdacosta) reported

    @virginmedia I do but isn't there s security issue if I was to publish that on Twitter?

  • denise_salinger Denise Salinger (@denise_salinger) reported

    @virginmedia I have an email of payment but he said he was going to send me a termination email - which he didn’t. I am 70 and my mother is 91 and we don’t wish to get caught up in VM’s unscrupulous activités. Please help otherwise I will need to instruct solicitors.

  • Patrick13121759 Patrick (@Patrick13121759) reported

    @virginmedia what has happened to your broadband this year? It drops almost daily, there's a 2 hour wait to try to speak to somebody, and you never automatically refund when it goes down for a day. It's impossible to work from home and so frustrating. My postcode is se266un

  • GallearKirsty kirsty gallear (@GallearKirsty) reported

    @virginmedia This is still not sorted!!!! Absolute joke of a company worst customer service! I meant to be activating a new service in 2 days how is that possible when the correct equipment isn't sent!

  • rakb1889 Bish (@rakb1889) reported

    @hobsonschoice64 @virginmedia 1 hour 30 into being passed around like an idiot.
