Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, EnglandYe gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.
-
LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.
-
LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England@virginmedia In October agreed new contract, came to install last week got new router and have since cancelled the packages that was agreed. I am now been charged more and getting less services. Tried to resolve last week over the phone & not no further forward so just want to cancel now.

Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Internet connection is intermittent in NE34, has been since at least Saturday. Connection drops at random. Have just restarted router again as I'm working from home & need to be online, no idea how long this will last. Not the only one having issues.
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.
-
Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, EnglandA week of no issues after a month of next to no tv and now it starts all over again. I have sound and the guide but just a black screen on every channel. So glad my contract is up, deffo going to be leaving this time. Waste of time and money!!!!! @virginmedia

-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.
-
Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England@_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

davidthorpedecorator (@dthorpedecor) reported@virginmedia tv is not working and the cup final is on at 3 any update?
-
Bear Holland (@follow_the_bear) reported@virginmedia @VespaPX12570 Why no compensation for loss of TV it makes up one third of monthly payment for broadband, phone and TV services. If TV goes down for a day should get 33% minimum of contract cost for the days loss of TV service. What would CISAS say? #CISAS
-
Michael Portal (@Mortalportal01) reported@virginmedia Can you please explain.. when you set up a new c9ntract with VM you end up having a contract with 02 as well, never asked for or agreed to. And now im struggling to get them to cancel the 02 contract as 02 have incorrect email address and never received a sim card?
-
Bob (@Trebor0501) reported@virginmedia when are you going to fix the “watch from start” function?
-
Richard Hopper (@rickh77) reported@virginmedia @ITV why is channel 103 ITV1 still not working on virgin media since the outage yesterday?

-
Edna Krabapple 💙 (@EdnaKrabapple1) reported@JohnTho10402150 @virginmedia Agreed. We settled down to watch Top of the Tops only to find we now don't have BBC4 or BBC3.
-
South Coast Commuter (@CS_Hants) reported@virginmedia @docrussjackson Make a formal complaint and say you will report to @Ofcom. Ask for compensation, there are plenty of precedents. They are measured on how many and how quickly they resolve customer complaints. Am dumping VM tomorrow after 18 months of abysmal service, cant wait to be rid of them!
-
Mr Nash (@Nasher6328) reported@virginmedia As you wasn't supplying a service for hours are you giving us compensation or are we allowed to leave free of charge?;
