  • 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!

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia Are you actually serious you have now wasted over an hour of my time back and forward on here to tell me to ring the same number i was cut iff from twice back in nov!!! Disgusting customer service @virginmedia what a joke

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

    @virginmedia Well it finally happened if you are not a online customer with virgin mobile and what shop at a outlet you are classed as the unwashed and not welcome anymore as a customer

  • 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?

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Ongoing complaint about a landline number that failed to be transferred to my account with you due to it not being requested by you in time.

  • DPhilipJones Daniel Jones (@DPhilipJones) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Me: “I’m going to have to cancel the contract as the landlord doesn’t want me to install the fibre optic broadband anymore” @virginmedia: “Maybe you should just buy the apartment, it’s not very expensive or anything” Confirmed. Virgin Media is Tory.

  • body_mindfitco Paul Edgar (@body_mindfitco) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 6 days now without home Internet, landline and TV. No apology, no explanation from Virgin. Parents who rely on these communication lines. Terrible service.

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

    @virginmedia Have paid another months subscription when i could of had a better package and lower cost from @skytv appalling customer service @virginmedia once i get to speak with someone i will not be continuing my account

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

    @virginmedia How will this please be different from the service I have had so far? Will someone competent 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.

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

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

  • ed_chivers Ed Chivers 🇪🇺💙 (@ed_chivers) reported

    Our @virginmedia TV and internet just went out in Sheffield S6 - anyone else having problems?

  • ClassicSoulDJ Shorty (@ClassicSoulDJ) reported

    @virginmedia Service is fine as it works downstairs in our house but not upstairs - your engineers have said that the walls are too thick and the signal doesn’t travel upstairs - need a wi fi booster for upstairs @virginmedia

  • Teddy_2886 pedro 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Teddy_2886) reported

    @VMO2News @virginmedia Aye but does it stay connected or ***** of randomly like your usual connection ram it up yer arse lost a customer tonight

  • thetrainfiasco Jonny (@thetrainfiasco) reported

    @virginmedia Hey, everything's working again since last night. I checked your out age monitor but the button doesn't work so I couldn't see anything. Not sure what happened. Thanks anyway.

  • kathycotter67 Kathy Harris (@kathycotter67) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi down again, told there is an issue with router and need to monitor it for up to 7 days - working from home and my employer (rightly so) won’t accept that. Paying £70pcm totally unacceptable. Please call me back.

  • danjconn Dan Conn (@danjconn) reported

    @Garyw_ @LisaForteUK I personally left Virgin Media after finding out they store passwords in plain text and consider this something that doesn't need changing. I would wager that if people lost something they cared about then reputational damage would occur.

  • Danjsalt Dan Salt (@Danjsalt) reported

    The Virgin media wi-fi system on the London tube is embarrassingly bad The network engineers should be kneecapped for crimes against the internet world

  • DebWalk19961736 do what you can, where you are (@DebWalk19961736) reported

    @zeinanao @EE @virginmedia is O KAY, but when they stop working tell them if you expect to be compensated. They'll be there providing no service for hours/days giving no compensation unless you mention it. They are good while they are working though. Can handle HEAVY use.

  • SiggsDan Dan Siggs (@SiggsDan) reported

    @virginmedia @richardbranson Why am I sitting in my home office with my laptop tethered to my phone looking at your router and booster blinking moronically and uselessly at me? You are both expensive AND poor.
