  • MarksWeb41 Mark Webster (@MarksWeb41) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia Trying to get in touch with the uk Virgin service that I still want to report a server fault because I getting no new message despite I ran 5 test e-mail that it’s did send successfully & I getting nothing no downloaded new message as it’s had not been undelivered at all. Fault?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Lorryolly Lorraine Ripley (@Lorryolly) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia so dissatisfied when I made a call to see if any reductions could be me to be fobbed off and advised I have the best package, the advisor was no help at all and clearly reading from a script. No bedside manner. And now my landline has suddenly stopped working!!!😥

  • 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…

  • 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.

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

    Broadband down yet again. Can I suggest a now slogan @virginmedia... Reliably Unreliable".

  • 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 Weve just moved house and are trying to install a new router but house connections look out of date.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?

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

    @virginmedia my WiFi is terrible. So slow and it’s meant to be the fastest. Regretting the switch at the minute

  • TownsJake JAKE (@TownsJake) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia No i just been disconnected so this is another 2 hours wasted, i just want to cancel my services now

  • RobLow_7 W. W. L. D. ? He'd stay at home. (@RobLow_7) reported from Sacriston, England

    @OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

  • 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….

  • 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

  • StricklandPaula PH NQOT (She/her) 💙 (@StricklandPaula) reported from Shildon, England

    Our @virginmedia package - both TV and broadband- has been really poor lately. Totally frustrating 😑

  • Wathey Shaun Wathey (@Wathey) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia how do I make a complaint?

  • TownsJake JAKE (@TownsJake) reported from Darlington, England

    @virginmedia has the worst customer service by an absolute stretch, been trying to sort my broadband and tv out for about 6 hours

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • pauljacques83 Paul Jacques (@pauljacques83) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Been in my new house 13 day and for the third time tomorrow I have a @virginmedia technician coming out to 'fix' my wifi. Fingers crossed this one actually takes and it's third time's the charm

  • myzermo786 mo (@myzermo786) reported

    @Jules_Mc28 @virginmedia I left them over a year ago because all you got with them was problems... bt all the way 🙌🏿🙌🏿

  • lizzydrip91 Anne-Marie Lees (@lizzydrip91) reported

    @virginmedia Yes but we have terrible signal in one room and have a booster right outside the door. Your WiFi is terrible in general though

  • keithpritchard_ Keith Pritchard (@keithpritchard_) reported

    @virginmedia why do I have to wait almost an hour to cancel my services? If I’m expected to accept a price increase at least invest it in customer service. I need to know how I can do this

  • a_crafty_one a_crafty_one (@a_crafty_one) reported

    @virginmedia New contract signed start date on 14th December based on Wi-fi boosters arriving on that date. None have been sent, I’ve chased 3 times and are still waiting. Wi-fi is terrible, costing me data each month, it needs sorting. Can you do this for me?

  • strevor77 Stephen Trevor (@strevor77) reported

    @virginmedia thank you, in response we are in the middle of a pandemic where people are suffering hardships we haven’t seen in our lifetime. it’s not as if you are running dry. the timing is just off and a letter of support to customers to temp freezing rates would have gone a long way.

  • sarahch1979 sarah chappell (@sarahch1979) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately this tells me nothing new I already know other people are having problems with it, it doesn’t tell me how to fix it or to get through to talk to someone I get times are different and people are off but in the last 2 weeks I’ve been on hold for our 5 hours.

  • affablecactus Ruth (@affablecactus) reported

    @virginmedia This is what I’m telling you!! There is a fault in our village. Whole area is down and engineers are out visibly working on it, so you need to be aware that my house is also part of the fault. Please update your system. I went through all the test over the phone at 1pm

  • RB_Radha RADHA BALANI (@RB_Radha) reported

    @virginmedia Why can’t I just change my own package on your website? It’s not acceptable at all. Internet providers are one of the few winners in this awful situation. Don’t make it worse by making it impossible to get help

  • sarahch1979 sarah chappell (@sarahch1979) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve also had the phone put down on me twice by what seemed like bored cs staff and when phoned back no answer. Virgin on the go is telling me I’ve maxed out devices and I only watch it on one device, I don’t understand why after so long of watching it it’s playing up now!

  • affablecactus Ruth (@affablecactus) reported

    @virginmedia So do my records show I’m Affected then now or what? How are you going to keep me up to date when my service status says everything is fine?!
