    Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

  • EmSatch
    EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

    @virginmedia I’ve looked & it’s no help

  • ema_neale
    emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

  • liamsholder91
    liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I'm definitely filein complaint 15 days without no TV and 2 kids is really hard work its either that or I'll go with someone else

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

    @virginmedia Everything was working fine till 13.20 and areas started going off but come 14.00 its gone completely. Think loads of folks BrobbeyBand is down

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

  • gaznolan
    Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia Ridiculous service from your team in Manilla. Both Joy & Brian telling me I wasn't able to pass security because I couldn't tell them my next bill date as the package/contract is ended even after telling them my normal date and all other DP information

  • Chickawacka
    Phil Byrne (@Chickawacka) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

  • ZicoPete
    Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia what channels do I need to go down for a stable connection check in my area, two days in a row internet keeps dropping not ideal when working from home. Thanks.

  • didixon74
    LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

  • Andymorris74
    Andrew Morris💙 (@Andymorris74) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia Your whole system is down! No access to telephone No access to broadband No access to website No access to status checker What’s going on???

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

    @virginmedia What is the point, your website keeps saying you are looking into it and keeps changing the fix time, you will just say the same. 😐

  • pixelpie80
    Mel Brackenbury (@pixelpie80) reported

    @O2 I am having a lot of trouble getting into my account and im using my correct login email and I going round in circles. I have verified my email and then nothing happens. I was logged in until Virgin media joined.

  • Sep8001
    KP (@Sep8001) reported

    @virginmedia Hi Thank you for replying. Yes I do run that check and it does tell me there is a problem, but why have we had so many in the last few weeks. Before that service was fine.

  • declancarty
    Declan Carty (@declancarty) reported

    @skytv @SkyHelpIreland @ITV Might it be possible soon to get all the ITV channels as normal on the Sky box in 🇮🇪 ? After all you can get them on other boxes, like Virgin Media. If it is a rights issue, can it not be sorted ??

  • andrescopeland
    Andres Copeland (@andrescopeland) reported

    @virginmedia do you have any issues in the beckenham / bromley area? Both Internet and TV went down, tried restarting etc but not working.

  • oliverjames77
    Shaun (@oliverjames77) reported

    @virginmedia good morning I hope you can help I have received a letter stating I owe £90 For equipment I returned, I Was told to return box and remote, can someone explain what is needed as I cancelled my contract and thought all was concluded … thanks

  • Lukeytoons
    Luke Hayes (@Lukeytoons) reported

    Why can't you cancel a contract with @virginmedia like you can a subscription service. I.e you select you want to cancel and from the contract end date you lose service. Keep being told i need to phone 30 days before #cancel #contract

  • mobily_uk
    James Turpin (@mobily_uk) reported

    Hey @virginmedia why do we have to do this dance every year? £66 per month increasing to £148?? I cancel, you offer me a similar deal to what I had and we move on. Why not just offer it up front? None of this pretend nonsense!

  • imran_khan404

    @virginmedia Wifi is getting connected but it is showing "No internet access". I am not getting internet. Talk to your customer support multiple times.

    @virginmedia Still no resolution on this. 8 weeks and counting. Shocking service from @virginmedia . Sent me an email with "steps" to follow for a resolution that didn't have ANY steps to follow!
