    @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.

    @virginmedia Yes but the number on the letter to text to just comes back fail to send. Then I rang 789 for my mam and this person had her in tears also, so we have give up.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!!!!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • JJohnsonJourno Jack Johnson (@JJohnsonJourno) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Any one have a resolution for no WiFi connection? @virginmedia

  • 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.

  • Baddoo Christopher Baddoo (@Baddoo) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any network issues in Newcastle upon Tyne? Our internet is down and can’t get through

  • 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 😡

  • 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!

  • Dancoat1982 Dan Coates (@Dancoat1982) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia is your broadband down completely in #NE5 any idea when will be working???

  • evilwallpaper arc (@evilwallpaper) reported from Newburn, England

    Had to break out the DVDs like a peasant because virgin media is down.

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • 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?

    @virginmedia absolute rubbish service. Broadband disconnected when I didn’t request it. Now have to wait until tomorrow although was told 2 hours initially. Can’t work. Son can’t apply for his job. Can’t watch TV.

  • jason84woods Jason Woods (@jason84woods) reported

    @virginmedia No outage, engineer may have created a new problem, he was sent as a last ditch to resolve our multiple issues. He hasn't so now we can leave fee free and thankfully return to the excellent @SkyUK

  • NDERSAP jj™️ | BITCHEE DAY (@NDERSAP) reported

    virgin media fix your ****

  • TyTalksTechblog Tyrone Tech Talker (@TyTalksTechblog) reported

    @virginmedia Was a long time customer to the point I had Telewest and one of the first fibre users in my area. Went to BT this year due to price Increases and extremely poor customer service from Virgin.

  • chriscowle11 Chris Cowle (@chriscowle11) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks.. can I raise a total loss of service for the day last week, yesterday and assume today also. Still not working. If not resolved today, I won't be able to work tomorrow.

  • _Jontis_ Jontis (@_Jontis_) reported

    @GamesWithTea @virginmedia I have the exact same issue, its a common occurance, right now a wired PS5 is getting 12mbs out of 200mbs.

  • Elise__Jones EJ🌿 (@Elise__Jones) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp It's not a fault problem! We have spent over an hour on the phone only to be told nothing can be done until Thursday when the new tennant's activate their account! Sales team tryna make money, it's disgusting this has happened twice now. So much for working from home.

  • tcedwards1990 Tim Edwards (@tcedwards1990) reported

    @virginmedia We’ve moved to a house supposedly connected to your network. The broadband is not connected and we’ve been told that the earliest a technician can get to us is Wednesday evening. Meanwhile my partner cannot do her job for the NHS.

  • ReserveRon 🅡on 🅡eserve (@ReserveRon) reported

    @virginmedia So essentially we’ll wait thirty minutes with a blank screen listening to ‘we know the #BAFTAS are important to you...’ I’ve NEVER experienced a worse level of customer service.
