  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

  • McGannJohn John McGann (@McGannJohn) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia great customer service tactics, tell people theres going to be a long hold time, when they get to an hour on hold just hang up on them because they clearly don't need Internet any time soon...

  • schizoid007 John Lacey (@schizoid007) reported from Gateshead, England

    Can't wait till my contract is up with @virginmedia to move back to @skytv probably the worst TV experience I've ever had. Horrendous hardware, UI and Operating System

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Done that.. hence why calling - your website is crap

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

    @virginmedia are you going to respond or do you just pick and chose? This is disgusting service. Over 70 quid a month for half a service!!!!!! Cancellation in Feb when my contract Is due at this rate.

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Nice adverts for your content, shame my recorded delivery complaint about my issue originating in MARCH (after three failed online submissions and pointless texts) has still not been acknowledged,been ignored,treating a customer as a piece of 💩 way to go 👏🏻

  • L88HRS Lee (@L88HRS) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia are there network issues in NE29? My wired connections are working fine but WiFi is having none of it on any of our devices!

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

    @virginmedia, you've text me a link after your phone robot tested my equipment, the link doesn't work. This has been on going for 3 to 4 weeks. I've been paying for a service I've not been receiving. I need to speak to an actual person!!!!

    @virginmedia Trust me, we will be complaining in every way possible. Especially now I've just spoken to the council and you promised them you'd be out to fix it within four hours yesterday. Still no sign today though... They cannot finish their job until you complete your work.

  • ephemerasattic Ephemerasattic 😷🇪🇺#FBPE (@ephemerasattic) reported

    @virginmedia So I’ve been sold a SIM that won’t work in my sons iPad and still no broadband! Do the decent thing @virginmedia and supply a mobile hub for my son until you fix the broadband. It’s the very least you can do.

  • norton_cettina Cettina norton (@norton_cettina) reported

  • Jacsiss Jaclyn I❤️ 🇺🇦 Respect to The Queen (@Jacsiss) reported

    @virginmedia Good morning, we have an engineer coming out this morning. The router is the problem, it keeps deciding to update or something silly. All day again from about 10 yesterday! I have checked everything, not my first rodeo. Thanks.

  • crimjnalminds nadia (@crimjnalminds) reported

    @virginmedia I need help signing into my emails, keeps saying password not recognised when it’s the right one

  • ephemerasattic Ephemerasattic 😷🇪🇺#FBPE (@ephemerasattic) reported

    @virginmedia I am not ringing again to be disconnected after 40 mins or using WhatsApp as it is just fobbing me off! I am wasting time and money and not getting the service you promised. Does 25 years of loyalty mean nothing!
