  • petersnowdon Peter Snowdon (@petersnowdon) reported from Darlington, England

    Hi @virginmedia received a letter this morning advising me of price rise and providing a link for more info. The link directs me to call and you don't answer. Any suggestions? I'd like to cancel my service with you. Thanks

  • leeds2d JT (@leeds2d) reported from Bishop Auckland, England

    @virginmedia No. I’ve been in contact and I was supposed to receive a phone call within 4 hours. This was 6 hours ago. Very poor service

  • jonnydearlove Jonny Dearlove (@jonnydearlove) reported from Middleton St. George, England

    @virginmedia Hi. Weve just moved house and are trying to install a new router but house connections look out of date. What is the best contact for someone to help with this as may need someone to come out?

  • Lopek Andy Gibson (@Lopek) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia It's the continued problems that annoy me. Down again now, third time this Easter Weekend. Yes it's showing as down on your dashboard. I always check & flag it when I (also) have a problem. Getting worse all the time. Beyond a joke.

  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Yes unable to use it. Wireless is very poor and was great during the first couple of weeks. Uploading is very hot and miss. Not happy considering I’m paying for fast broadband. My phone rarely connects to it unless I’m fairly close to the router. This can’t be right

  • kara44234 KaraS4234 (@kara44234) reported from Durham, England

    @virginmedia What else would you expect when you have been offered a service you don't get

  • kara44234 KaraS4234 (@kara44234) reported from Durham, England

    @virginmedia In which looking deeper into the matter alot lof people are saying the same think since they have moved to virgin media its shocking the lies you have informed customers that you will never have issues with WiFi speed having fiber utter rubbish

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

    @virginmedia any issues in the DL3 area? Broadband crashed about 10mins and hasn't been back on since.

  • petersnowdon Peter Snowdon (@petersnowdon) reported from Darlington, England

    40 mins on the phone to @virginmedia on hold listening to poor music ....have you thought of recruiting some staff? Plenty of people would love a job at the moment...mad way to run a business

  • JaysonGurney Jayson Gurney (@JaysonGurney) reported from Darlington, England

    @Minal2804 @virginmedia I feel your pain and frustration. I'm have total loss of network and internet due to electrical problem caused by meter replacement with Utility Warehouse

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Does anyone from your customer care actually ring you back? My newly installed so called fast WiFi has not worked correctly since install… Terrible product….

  • ConnorMather Connor Mather (@ConnorMather) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I’ve done all that’s recommended. Logged complaints, customer service can’t help, I’m still awaiting a supervisor to contact…

  • wolfrubin Christian Wolf Rubin (@wolfrubin) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia The worst bit is that I was on hold for 36 minutes listened to the same song 3 times and then was hung up on.

  • C4SPAR_ C4SP4R (@C4SPAR_) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @davidm_allan @virginmedia I Live in Roker, had nothing but trouble with virgin broadband. Had it replaced today.

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia They advised, reset, changing from 2.4 to 5. Then back again. Changing the settings on the account. Done this multiple times. Customer service hung up on me then I rang back again and was told I hung up on them. Awaiting a supervisor call. It’s never worked since installation

  • WarrenBaister Warren Baister 🇬🇧 (@WarrenBaister) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia There isn’t any reported problems in my area but mine is very ‘hit and miss’ at the moment. I’ll go for periods where nothing will upload/download at all

    @virginmedia The responses from VM to people with genuine problems is atrocious. I went live on 14 Jan and already want to cancel using my 14 day cooling off period. But there's no one there to take my request. Phone calls go dead and there's no email. Today I register mailed a letter2 them.

  • MikeP71306241 Mike P (@MikeP71306241) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, it was claimed to have been repaired but it's got a fault against it again now. the mobile app now has a more useful update saying that there is a fibre cable break. Unusual to take over 24 hours to fix that though.

  • DigitalDennis Digital Dennis & GrimLight Photography (@DigitalDennis) reported

    @virginmedia getting calls from 01550 709 946 saying they are from Virgin Media about my internet getting hacked and disconnecting me in 2 weeks unless they can do a pc diagnostics. Sound either Indian or Pakistani. Though you should they are contacting customer fake call.
