-
Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too
-
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
-
liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now
-
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

Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.
-
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?
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.
-

Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)

-
Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported@ulickdcox @VodafoneIreland Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.
-
Monk (@i_Charizard) reported@virginmedia and @O2 are killing me. 14 hour shift and I get home and my WiFi isn't working and it's taken me 25 mins to send this tweet cos o2s network is shite
-
Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱🔴 (@back_the_BBC) reported@stephenm68 @virginmedia The only solution with Virgin media is to get rid of it
-
amc (@flabcab) reported@CheekyVic @virginmedia Can't think of a good one tbh. All customer service. For virtually everything. Is piss poor.
-
Krystle (@vdaybabygirl85) reported@virginmedia - I had serious connection issues. Complaints team got in touch and thought it was resolved. But it's not. The issues are STILL ongoing and as for the last 8 weeks or so I'm struggling with intermittent service. I want the fixed. I'm sick and tired of it now
-
Aashish Joshi (@73Joshi) reported@virginmedia are you guys doing firmware updates? Router has green flashing lights and typically it’s outside your support hours
-
Harry M (@HNMZY16) reported@Johnty14 @virginmedia It's not Virgin Media themselves that do this btw. Some outside leaflet drop company gets hired to do it and they don't give a **** where they put that leaflet.
-
a staunch advocate of things (@fahadiiae) reported@Johnty14 @virginmedia That’s why i never walk out the front door, sends a signal to the burglars that im not in. Best to rappel down a garden side upstairs window
-
Paul O'Brien (@PaulOBrienKil) reported@virginmedia @MizzCQ I strongly urge anyone thinking of subscribing to @virginmedia to NOT do it. Took over a hour to get through to customer service & they still won't fix their mistake. Shambles of an organisation.
-
🏴 Simon Forsyth 🏴 (@superbairn) reported@virginmedia. I have a problem with a bill. Sent you a DM if you could have a look at look please.
