    What to do when you have been trying to contact @virginmedia since november 2 complaints raised with disgusting customer service, eventually someone answers the phone only to cut me off 😡😡😡

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia broadband constantly disconnects, contacting you via phone is a total waste of time. How do I get this issue sorted?

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can reply since your customer service department have just hung up after waiting an hour to get through. So sick of your terrible customer service hence why i want to leave. #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice #cancellation

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia My initial call was about the price increase and to see if we could downgrade as my partner is on furlough my business is closed that was 25th nov so have since paid another 2 months bill £168 I could not be more disappointed in the service i have received

  • 1slandmonkey Benjamin Spurling (@1slandmonkey) reported from Washington, England

    @virginmedia not impressed with your customer service this week. After days of attempted communication I finally spoke to someone about getting a new phone. They spoke terrible English, were unhelpful and have actually lost you my potential 24month contract.

  • chrismayes .💙#FBPPR #FBPE You have no authority here johnson (@chrismayes) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hey @virginmedia #DontFundGBNews or i terminate my contract with you.

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia What an absolute shower of **** your customer services are, goodbye don’t contact me again!

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @panzerfaust81 Any chance we can cancel as your customer service team hang up after waiting an hour on hold? Sick of your dreadful service. Please contact me as this is a joke. Need to leave due to moving home and you make it even harder @Ofcom

  • Jacq_Critch Jacqueline Critchley (@Jacq_Critch) reported from Longbenton, England

    @virginmedia @Steven_Smith89 I’ve tried reaching out via the telephone number provided on your website, however despite numerous attempts I have failed to speak to anyone & a fault at your end meant that the line went dead yesterday as I got through... why do you make this so difficult? PLEASE HELP 🙏

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia I am not in receipt of universal credit and back in nov i thought we could save some money by downgrading now I would like everything out, and will go with another provider. After the service i have received from yourselves nobody else can do as bad a job

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia your WiFi and service is a disgrace. Constant outage, hopeless WiFi range, unreachable "support". And now you're putting my bill up? Utter joke.

  • martin_avery Martin Avery (@martin_avery) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia are you having problems with your broadband connections in the NE15 area ?, it’s been rubbish over the last few days

  • simplyajblog Abbie✨ (@simplyajblog) reported from Dunston, England

    @katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia It has been over a week trying to contact you and it’s impossible. The contract needs to end on 04/03/21. Your service makes things 10x harder than any other provider.

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Your team still do not answer the phone. Constantly on hold and then they hung up on my partner yesterday when she got through. The box will be left outside the address for you to collect because we have been trying to cancel for a week now and it is a joke. #poorcustomerservice

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Very excellent service from Linzi in the Longbenton call centre today, got my upgrade sorted and we had a good little chat as well whilst she was sorting things. Made me feel a lot better for spending the time I did on hold. @virginmedia

  • HebburnCurly Mark Wilson (@HebburnCurly) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Hi, can I add a telephone line to the broadband package that I already have? Looked on your webpage and it’s all bundles with no option to add anything to the service I already purchase

  • Beardyknave Tommy Rotten (@Beardyknave) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @james_cooney @virginmedia I ended up talking to someone else who gave me the deal I was after straight away, such a **** on. If you're able to do something just do it, I have **** to do.

  • DanielleWade4 Danielle Marie (@DanielleWade4) reported

    @virginmedia The phone froze and now won’t turn back on. We wanted some technical support. Didn’t get anywhere. Also we were told the only way to re set your account password was via a text. With a broken phone ?!

  • Chelle41 Michelle Cleator (@Chelle41) reported

    @virginmedia tivo box not working, snowy screen, turned on/off, unplugged/replugged cables etc. Website won't let me do diagnostic test, can't get through to a human on the phone. Any advice?

  • KarenHinton3 JJ (@KarenHinton3) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have and it hasn't worked. You don't even get the screen where it asks you to login as a virgin customer. With multiple customers reporting the same issue it's unlikely to be a problem with our devices

  • davidoverton David Overton (@davidoverton) reported

    @virginmedia Bad news. Although there were promises that this was fixed, unfortunately, another month, another bill for my ex-wife delivered to me. Is there anyone who can actually solve this problem at @virginmedia ?

  • jbarrett1963 Jackie Dally (@jbarrett1963) reported

    @virginmedia I used your text service who sent an engineer around to my mothers house today. They said they would be there between 12-5pm so I took the afternoon off work. When he came he said he couldn’t help and advised to contact customer service who I cannot get through to. Please help!

  • jrcby jãmes (@jrcby) reported

    @virginmedia is there a problem with virgin and @NetflixUK? Hasn’t been working through my tv since last night around 10.30/11pm. Getting error ui-800-3. Have turned off and unplugged everything for 3+ minutes and still getting the error. Works fine on my phone on same wifi

  • x_iimaStar_x Maarley (@x_iimaStar_x) reported

    @virginmedia So, for work it keeps dropping which means that I can’t connect onto our work network. And then on my personal devices things just spin or pages don’t load

  • x_iimaStar_x Maarley (@x_iimaStar_x) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately no, as my desk is no where near the hub! Never mind, it will just have to be like this

  • andyfrost1978 Andy Frost (@andyfrost1978) reported

    @virginmedia is there a messaging service for tech support?
