  • borolad1965 David Sanderson (@borolad1965) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia we are having severe broadband issues in Darlington area this weekend. I'm in DL3 9 area. Other postcodes DL1 as well having issues. Logged with faults and advised it would be sorted 10.10pm yesterday. STILL off this morning and no texts. Please advise.

  • CraigShitpeas Craig Shitpeas (@CraigShitpeas) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia been without any form of data, email , Whatsapp, calls from 11am with #virginmobile looks like it’s UK wide ! Dreadful service. Just catching up on emails now in a local pub!! Awful communication by a company that claims to be so good at it.

  • tim_robson_1980 uosqoᴚ ɯı⊥ (@tim_robson_1980) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Absolute joke! After telling them it's not a virgin mobile they said that chat was for faults only and to ring the same premium rate number to speak to someone. Your customer service really is laughable

  • karenveater Karen Veater (@karenveater) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia you’re broadband service is disgusting! Down more times than enough and your call centre staff are totally clueless! I guess I’m looking for a new service provider!

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia I checked on the app and apparently there's "No known issues" ever since last week its been going off an on! Sick to death of this now

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    So I get a text off @virginmedia to say my service will be suspended due to a missed payment, I haven't even received a bill! 😡

  • marcusdempsey Marcus Dempsey (@marcusdempsey) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Another day another broadband outage. :(

  • rosssimpson Ross William (@rosssimpson) reported from Darlington, England

    @MiniMosh @virginmedia Also not working in DL1 @virginmedia please sort this :-)

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    @15minutegamer @virginmedia These go from when it's actually due and not from when it was paid which in my opinion is stupid. Yet I just get this message to say that and I've not even had an ebill.

  • tim_robson_1980 uosqoᴚ ɯı⊥ (@tim_robson_1980) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia disgusting customer service. On hold for 20 minutes for someone to answer and say they need to transfer me..on hold for a further 28 minutes for someone to answer, ask my name and hang up! Rang back for an automated service to say you're too busy to talk to me 😡

  • alcampion alan (@alcampion) reported from Stillington, England

    @virginmedia it’s slightly better now but these issues keep a curing now and then but nothing gets done about it I rang about a month ago with same problem so you’re team said they will give a reduction in my bill the following month but that never happened so I’m done with you.

  • chrisblewitt85 Chris Blewitt (@chrisblewitt85) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia been on hold for 50 minutes waiting to renew to a lesser deal than a new customer can get, online, with the click of a button! Think your customer service needs some Oomph!

  • lebell83 Lee Bell (@lebell83) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Why is @virginmedia internet so poor. It’s like having dial up back

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    So once again @virginmedia my broadband has gone down! 3 times this week! I swear I'm changing providers sick of this now #VirginMedia

  • Paulhut20013625 Hutchy (@Paulhut20013625) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @bt_uk why has my internet speed slowed down just as we @virginmedia digging up the street 🤔

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    Great so it seems to be a day of running on data today as @virginmedia apparently have "broadband issues" AGAIN 🙄

  • Kirsty_x85 Kirsty 😘💋 (@Kirsty_x85) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia It's down AGAIN! 😤😡

  • Matt72423 Matty Erskine (@Matt72423) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia It is now, I think, five months since I made a complaint which has yet to be dealt with. To say that I'm not impressed with your 'customer services' would be a bit of an understatement.

  • davedome Dave (@davedome) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia 2/2 on hold for 30mins to be hung up on when connected. Not a great way to treat your new customers. Regretting opting for your services so far.

  • mxhdyyy I🍭 (@mxhdyyy) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia fix the WiFi you mugs

    @virginmedia another broken text message "Hi, it's Virgin Media. We'll be visiting you on *** **** Sep between * and *at **'**...... Reply KEEP to confirm or CHANGE to reschedule." Nope. Replying "KEEP" only gives send failure !! Having to phone you again!

  • kermiegames Kermiegames🐸 (@kermiegames) reported

    @Rossjayy1 @virginmedia See if @LilaConnectUK are in your area pal. I'm paying £37 with Virgin for 350 down 35 up, About to be paying £30 for 1gb down 1gb up 👀

  • K74Marti Marti Jerrard - K74 (@K74Marti) reported from Farnborough, England

    Everyday this week and again today @virginmedia has stopped working… constant resets and in some cases down for 3-4 hrs at a time which is preventing work, training, education & entertainment! Come on #Virgin sort your reliability out pse

  • NfinityBL Nfinity (@NfinityBL) reported

    This level of incompetence is insane. We literally do not have an installation date. Virgin Media support is utterly useless since I’m met with people who don’t actually know anything. How hard can it be to book an engineer visit so I can actually have the services I pay for?

  • Kris_Sangani Kris Sangani #godsavetheking (@Kris_Sangani) reported

    @virginmedia Could someone in your technical support department run a remote diagnostic? Again, I would appreciate a phone call.

  • RazKoller Raz Koller ☮️ (@RazKoller) reported

    @virginmedia Look, I realise you guys probably work in shifts and I'm not talking to the same person, but this is part of a long *** thread documenting the many days of outages that I experienced with you (I believe we're on day 10 this month alone) and my attempt to cancel. #virginmediadown

  • NfinityBL Nfinity (@NfinityBL) reported

    And the support team just hung up on me lol. @virginmedia god awful service.

  • Kris_Sangani Kris Sangani #godsavetheking (@Kris_Sangani) reported

    @virginmedia I'm really not satisfied by this response. You simply have not read my tweets properly and understood my grievance. You promised me a 4G O2 hotspot which I have had to arrange myself, for example. Are you not going to investigate my complaint?

  • IamR_Everson R_Everson (@IamR_Everson) reported

    @virginmedia I am trying to log in on the app and also the priority website it keeps saying my virgin details are incorrect but when I go on the virgin website I’m using the same details and am able to sign in

  • Kris_Sangani Kris Sangani #godsavetheking (@Kris_Sangani) reported

    I called your disconnection department again and was told that I would not be able to end my contract early without a penalty - even though Virgin Media is in breach of contract by not providing appropriate technical support.
