  • MarkCarruthers_ Mark Carruthers (@MarkCarruthers_) reported from Wallsend, England

    What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

  • ChrisJ94_ Chris Johnson (@ChrisJ94_) reported from Wallsend, England

    . @virginmedia rang virgin last week to move house. You've done the external install yesterday but haven't turned up for internal install today. Tried to log into my account and it says my package is cancelled no options for support at all. Called and hung up on before answer.

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia So I expected a call today before 12pm from business team I also logged a call back on the website for one of the team to call me before 12pm. Engineer on Friday said someone would call in the morning it’s now just gone after 12 and I am still waiting? This is poor?!

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

  • danieljohnallis Daniel Allis 🇬🇧 (@danieljohnallis) reported from Gateshead, England

    @lxwissssss @MartinEdition @virginmedia Mine is excellent once they replaced the wiring because it was old and now mine never goes off and it’s super fast! The English call centres are great but the Indian and Philippines ones are really bad I avoid them because they just read off scripts!

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Sort my order out please.Due on Monday, not delivered.6 calls Tuesday & Wednesday,told it would be here today, yet Yodel tracking shows they haven’t got it from you.1st week as a @virginmedia customer 😡. Worst of all handlers have made me feel like it’s my problem #woefulservice

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Should that not be your job to check and then tell me the answer. You havnt really solved the problem by telling me to check my area. You should know if there’s any problems where ever they may be

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    First day as a @vmbusiness customer and been waiting nearly 13 hours for a delivery, that hasn’t arrived… #greatstart #herewego

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia And it has just cut out again and your bot via the number above just said restart the router and put the phone down on me. Slightly concerned that it lasted 5 days again and decided to come back to disconnecting?

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia Technical support to discuss slow speeds

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Waiting for delivery of hub equipment to start using internet.Due Monday & it’s still not here. 1st week as a Virgin customer. Made 6 calls bounced from person to person,made to feel like it’s my fault! Spoken to Yodel & tracking details show they haven’t received it from Virgin

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I will call, again and again. Would be nice if you called me tbh. I’ll escalate or just cancel and go to another provider

  • jwilko_87 Jonathan Wilkinson (@jwilko_87) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your internet service in Gateshead for the last few days has been terrible. Keep losing connection here 🙄

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I called the help line and a bot told me to restart my router twice and then proceeded to end the call. Little fed up

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia No. A problem with order of some description.

  • Townendtopman Barry Cook (@Townendtopman) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia is broadband services down. My internet has been intermittent for the last week. Reset router 3 times today and still not working properly. Download speed is 1mb. Usually 380 mb

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

  • TraiAnfield Trai Anfield (@TraiAnfield) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @vmbusiness @virginmedia I called and the service I received was unbelievably poor. My first experience as a Virgin customer. Considering cancellation now.

  • panicdragon8784 Panicdragon8784 (@panicdragon8784) reported from South Shields, England

    @BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams
