  • JacobAlderHam Jacob Ham (@JacobAlderHam) reported from Coundon, England

    @scottcvrroll @virginmedia It's mental like, I know there's shit going on but when everyones at home you'd think they'd try to get on top of it asap.

  • 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! 😡

  • 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.

  • BrendaMullen Dancebrack1 (@BrendaMullen) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia fed up with slow cable broadband since lockdown. The money I pay you is not worth it for the bad service! You should be refunding my charges #Disgraceful #notreliable

  • 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 🙄

  • 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

  • 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!

  • JanetteMcMain Janette (@JanetteMcMain) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia still no TV despite reports from week gone Monday - followed instructions again yesterday & have now been referred to Customer Services - 24 hours ago - still waiting response.

  • 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 😡

  • 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

    @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.

  • 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.

  • JanetteMcMain Janette (@JanetteMcMain) reported from Darlington, England

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

  • 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

  • HayleyJenkins21 Hayley Jenkins (@HayleyJenkins21) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia your website will not let me into your account to do a speed test (our broad band is getting slower and slower). It won’t let me reset the password and instead gets stuck in a loop resetting the reset password- absolutely infuriating. Had this problem four years now!

    @virginmedia This is The second time in 48 hours that I've had no TV. At least this time the internet didn't go down as well. Your service is truly abysmal. I'll be going to @skytv when my contract with you is up. Same for your crappy mobile service as well

  • lee_owen1976 Lee (@lee_owen1976) reported

    @virginmedia Ye tried to report & register a fault and keep getting cut off. Brilliant service nice one. maybe invest in customers being able to talk to someone.

  • joheafield Jo (@joheafield) reported

    @simsyg @9Naughtyboi6 @virginmedia Didn't say full bill did I I've been down since 10.30 this morning and since I am house bound at the minute and have been for the last 5 weeks it's the only company I have

  • BarleyStack2 claire (@BarleyStack2) reported

  • CtcCraig Craig Brisley 🌱 (@CtcCraig) reported

    @virginmedia Just seen this message , however I have been having problems since last week when your engineers told me they were investigating problem in TN23 3NY postcode area and I would get a call to arrange a new cable installation ?

  • mariareardon77 Maria Reardon (@mariareardon77) reported

    @virginmedia website and app also not working, seems its all over the country not just a local area

  • ThatGWord Gary Jones (@ThatGWord) reported

    @CrochetAddictUK @shazcow55 @virginmedia TV being down for a couple of hours in the middle of a workday really isn’t the end of the world. Internet is still working - watch something on demand. 🙄 people honestly expect infrastructure to run continuously without error or maintenance - get a grip.

  • TerryOConnorr Terry O'Connor 🥊 (@TerryOConnorr) reported

    @CrochetAddictUK @shazcow55 @virginmedia The issue is not being provided with the service we pay handsomely for

  • BurgessCharlene Charlene (@BurgessCharlene) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t even use the app or login for months. I’m the primary account holder and tells me I’m not. Can I ask, what is the issues? Have you been hacked or is it a server issue?

  • Rbrbrb1114 RBRB14 (@Rbrbrb1114) reported

    @virginmedia So are you ***** going to pay for the time I'm losing at work? Honestly Virgin Media are a cancer to the planet. Robbing bastards with zero interest in their customers. Need shutting down
