  • 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 🙄

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have called them twice today still having issues

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Your having a laugh my download speed is 0.03 mbs and its still crap!!!!

  • 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

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Its the wifi thats gone down. I am currently using a wired connection.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I seem to be having BB connection issues here!!!

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Technical support to discuss slow speeds

  • 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!

  • 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

  • BigOpticLou BigOpticLou (@BigOpticLou) reported

    @virginmedia why have i got 338 down and 0.25 up how does that make sense

  • Manbeartom tom (@Manbeartom) reported

    @virginmedia it’s 2021- how many times are you going to just fail to provide reliable internet service to the same area in London this year? It’s so tiresomely bad. Thanks for giving me a 30 minute ban for failing to reconnect to my csgo game. Bunch of incompetents.

  • TheRealAmir AAK (@TheRealAmir) reported

    Literally the most irritating support site in the world @virginmedia. It just sends you in circles. I’ve had intermittent access all day and now broadband is totally dead. Your site claims service status is good yet your self test fails. Of course your call centre is shut...

  • Bearded_Geezer ⓈⒶⓉ (@Bearded_Geezer) reported

    Not a normal night if @virginmedia doesn't disconnect 10x a day. Awful service.

  • SharonLLeonard Sharon Leonard (@SharonLLeonard) reported from Bryn, England

    @virginmedia I don’t want DIY I want the service I pay for in my 3 bed house!

  • NoisikAV NOiSIque (@NoisikAV) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I called last month to set up a direct debit. The customer support rep said they'd set that up for me. I logged into my account today to see that no direct debit had been set up and the bill from the 9th of April for £101.98 had not been taken.

  • KittyCatsMum Kittycatsmum (@KittyCatsMum) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia im not receiving incoming calls, told its a porting issue and porting dept would resolve this within 4 hours, still not fixed, why would i have a porting issue after being with Virgin for many years anyway

  • neiljohnstone5 Neil J 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Independence 1st (@neiljohnstone5) reported

    @virginmedia Last six weeks has been horrendous for VM broadband. Very regular drop outs. Raised complaint and not even a response. This is not worth the money. Stable broadband should be bread and butter to you.

  • Arti_K_Patel Arti Patel (@Arti_K_Patel) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, I received a text message from @virginmedia advising the issue has been rectified and to restart my router which I have done. Except I now have had no broadband for the last hour!

  • IAMDANNUTTYNUTT Dan Nutt (@IAMDANNUTTYNUTT) reported

    @virginmedia When your engineers attend a customer's property should they make you aware of all the work they have carried out?
