  • 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!!!!

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @louisewil86 @yanic1965 @virginmedia I'm supposed to be on 50mbs...nowhere near! What they dont tell you (any bband supplier) but my engineer does....is that the fibre cable only goes to your local substation box...then thru copper cable to your house ...so slowed down automatically!

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

    @virginmedia Hahahaha talk about bullshit - had to change to sky because of your **** service

  • Kai35850650 Dougy Giro (@Kai35850650) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia is there a service outage in the SR2 area of Sunderland? My service is usually great, but it’s down currently for me

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

    @virginmedia amazing concept of telling people who have no Internet at home to log onto an Internet chat room to get help with getting their Internet back, do I get a refund for the data used to tether my laptop just to get access to customer service?

  • 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...

  • finswimmerjohn1 John Lavender - #Speedowarrior (@finswimmerjohn1) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia We have two VM boxes for collection as we have already left your network. Can you please arrange for someone to disconnect and collect them? Thanks in anticipation.

  • Scotttate1990 Scott Tate (@Scotttate1990) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia issues with WiFi signal NE32 area. Been off and on all night, no known issues on website

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No but I have now dealt with it via your customer services and asked to remove my mam from virgin sales list. Thanks

  • Dxrpiii Dxrpii_ (@Dxrpiii) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @virginmedia Will you please sort your **** out, 7 times my internet has dropped for 30-60 seconds it’s so frustrating pay for the best broadband available and have to put up with this 😡

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

    @virginmedia My contract has expired and I’m wondering what options are available if I decide to sign a new one. Feels like it’d be easier to leave, tbh. I’m also moving house so wanted to discuss moving service to new address. I appreciate you’re busy, but it’s an absolute nightmare.

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

    @virginmedia After 2 hours on hold I got through to a nice guy in the call centre, he couldn't work out the issue so I've got no Internet for 2 days until an engineer comes out. Love paying for services I don't get...

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia If I go onto your mobile app I can never get into the info ...the icon just keeps swirling around & around etc

  • davechristie15 DaveChristieImaging (@davechristie15) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @louisewil86 @yanic1965 @virginmedia Refuse to pay for a month...any contract by law gives you 14 days to cancel!

  • 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

  • alistairoates alistair oates (@alistairoates) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Please if you’re providing a terrible internet service don’t use the phase, ‘Oops. Our bad’

  • 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.

  • bev_middleton Bev Middleton (@bev_middleton) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia furious that I have been double charged for a bill, then I try to message support and its been over 1 week and nothing done, single parent who already paid the bill is not happy

    @virginmedia any chance you could fix virgintvgo for the Premier Sports 1 channel. It’s stuck on the wrong game.

  • pabloesc2021 Pablo (@pabloesc2021) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just ordered internet from @skytv now. I will be calling to cancel my package soon

  • witchyisbak Dude I found witchy💚🤍💜 🟥 (@witchyisbak) reported

    @virginmedia Actually it appears the problem I contacted u about hasn't fully resolved. Intermittent service on both tivo and broadband. I darent ring customer services again. And I'm still waiting for the technician to ring ur call handler promised

  • xGrumpyWolfx Grumpy Wolf (@xGrumpyWolfx) reported

    @virginmedia Fix your ******* internet pls m8 xx

  • David_W11 David (@David_W11) reported

    @virginmedia Plus they said the online deals are not open to us as existing customers. Pretty poor experience compared to Sky who we previously used. Currently wish we had just cancelled our contract at the end rather than transferring to a new property.

  • Yippers Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Email to say it was resolved by offer of an apology which I never accepted so I called customer services who offered the credit of overpayment onto my account which I’m still waiting for.

  • ReiDoMUFC Juan United (@ReiDoMUFC) reported

    Switched to data whilst at home just to tweet @virginmedia, you are shite 👍 (And not there is nothing you can do to help, pls don't @ me, I'm already angry)

  • banterdan Harry (@banterdan) reported

    @virginmedia I half expect a weaker signal upstairs in the far bedroom but not in the next room from the hub. Anyways this booster will do me for now seems to give me a stable strong signal in the kitchen. When working now

  • Hollib0bz H (@Hollib0bz) reported

    @virginmedia Yes we did and it said everything was fine and no known issues. Two days running now this has happened.

  • the_ex_tuft James Doherty (@the_ex_tuft) reported

    @virginmedia You are an absolute joke to deal with. Finally got through to an actual person, booked an engineer for Saturday, YOU then offered to bring it forward, I said yes, changed all my plans, then at 8pm the night before you change it back to the original slot. This how you treat ppl?😡
