  • paddyrat Paddy R (@paddyrat) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Please help me with this. I tried webchat on your ‘help’ site but didn’t get a reply. I’d written out the whole issue. Everything is always so hard with you guys 😢😤

  • GraemeHopper Graeme Hopper (@GraemeHopper) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Come on Virgin, give us some feedback. What's the issue with the WiFi in the NE10 8WH area. Mine seems to have gone off completely now. Loads of people in the area complaining of same issues all across social media.

  • AdamOnCaffeine Chilli Vanilli (@AdamOnCaffeine) reported from South Shields, England

    Can anyone at @virginmedia virgin media tell me why the internet drops out every time it rains? The technicians only want to diagnose a fault on the line to the house and they never seem to be out when it's also raining. It's very frustrating.

  • HBP_Surgery_CHS Ben Banerjee (@HBP_Surgery_CHS) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

  • allymcgeorge A. D. G. McGeorge (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi been on hold to change package too long, online switch hasn't been working for weeks, online chat doesn't work. It's almost like you are putting deliberate barriers up

  • paddyrat Paddy R (@paddyrat) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @nowtgoodtosay @virginmedia And every bad experience you have, they make sure the next one is worse. Like a competition!

  • kirsty_ferry Kirsty Ferry (@kirsty_ferry) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia hi how do i book an engineer via the app? Service status on broadband and equipment all check out. No connection to devices. Impossible to speak to someone on phone with almost an hour on hold. Can't see how to book appt online yet apparently it's possible? Thanks.

  • paulbanks60 Paul Banks - Tenor 🎶🇪🇺 (@paulbanks60) reported from South Shields, England

    @ComradeMorden @virginmedia I’ll join you Simon in this nightmare of trying to get a connection, I’ve only just realised it isn’t just us that have a problem in NE9. It seems very intermittent

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone in North Tyneside struggling with @virginmedia?? Or is it just me? Keep losing signal and the TiVo box keeps rebooting. Had to abandon the National League final and now Gillian Anderson getting fruit in Room 203 of the Hilton Hotel Belstaff ...

  • allymcgeorge A. D. G. McGeorge (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi... So haven't been able to get through on phone for MONTHS. your website self serve is permanently down, and now your Twitter and text aren't replying. How do we undo the last 3 months and get me where I should be?

  • DixieJessop Alan Jessop (@DixieJessop) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia Hi there My 92 year old mother in law has been without her landline phone for over a week She has been charged £99 for engineers to visit but not fix it It is linked to a panic alarm as well This is unacceptable?

  • vanessa_sherie vanessa (@vanessa_sherie) reported

    Wtf is going on with my @virginmedia @richardbranson if this ain’t working by the time arsenal kick off at 7:15 I want my £50 back for sky sports package pronto .

  • lpz3 🌈Thoughts Aloud!😷 (@lpz3) reported

    @virginmedia I accessed that using paid for @giffgaff data when your broadband was off in our area for 4th time in 6wks (or less). @Ofcom - is there any scope for auto refunds when a service is not reliable? The 24hr loss of use thing is pointless for us as its off for less - but often!

  • SamStallan Sam Stallan (@SamStallan) reported

    @virginmedia Our home set up was 4 days late arriving and we can't even use it as the engineer date was moved to a week later. I do hope our bills won't start until the service is up and running or I will be cancelling. Oh and the chat service is terrible. No one replies.

  • davidledgard david ledgard (@davidledgard) reported

    @virginmedia I want to complain about the service...... Internet off again ....... why will it take nearly 2 weeks to get back online ???????

  • ItsSinneh ★𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐒★ (@ItsSinneh) reported

    @virginmedia **** you, your shitty WiFi and your joke of a company.

  • nicola_jane98 Nicola (@nicola_jane98) reported

    Virgin Media has the worst WiFi on earth. I think a sting and tin cans work better than their WiFi.

  • charliejhadley Charlie 🧑‍🎤 (she/her) (@charliejhadley) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah, I’ve opened an official complaint but now I’m waiting up to 72h for reconnection despite it being completely your fault. From a data security point of view this is a mind boggling error. What’s even the point of having security on accounts if this can happen?

  • LinseyElliott Linsey Elliott (@LinseyElliott) reported

    @virginmedia @amieerundle @virginmedia u pay to watch live,great you are reshowing it, what's the point in paying £26 to watch it the next day when u can see updates for free.People paid for the full fight, not just the main event.Undercards are just as important.Its a joke,not accepting this poor excuse.

  • MRamsey1974 Martin Ramsey (@MRamsey1974) reported

    @virginmedia Is this for real??! I paid to watch the event live!! If you paid £25 to see a show in the West End and the performance was ruined by technical issues - would they tell you, it was ok for the last song and it’s being performed again tomorrow if you want to watch it again? #refund
