  David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 7 minutes ago from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

  @virginmedia I know my line is spoofed, when an incoming call from a foreign country is giving out I’m not wrong number as I’m being spoofed I am technically aware of this I used to provide support for a very large telecommunications company

• 
  Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 7 minutes ago 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

  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 15 minutes ago 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.).

  What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

  @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 ?

  Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported 25 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

  @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  Sam (@purplelime) reported 27 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia I was told to log into the Myo2 app to change it myself, but I have been sent no login details and of course if the email address is incorrect it won’t be recognised if I try to register. O2 said we would receive texts with updates on number port timeline but had no communication

• 
  Bella (@SharBella72) reported 34 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia internet is down, again in Sunderland area.

  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 38 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

  Wakey wakey @virginmedia shoddy service not to update a LOT of the UK on broadband problems

• 
  LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 45 minutes ago 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.

  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 52 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  On hold with @virginmedia for 20 minutes then they decided to cut my call.. great service. 👍

  Georgina McGowan (@seldomseenkid16) reported 52 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  @virginmedia can you help with my phone services not currently working

• 
  emma (@ema_neale) reported 58 minutes ago 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!

  Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported 59 minutes ago from Washington, England

  Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 59 minutes ago 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 I've also tried to call your customer service helpline but it doesn't appear to recognise my account number so I can't even get through to anyone!

• 
  Bill Graham (@graham69717) reported 11 minutes ago

  @entrustTMF @virginmedia Only way to get good service is to use BT/Open Reach as provider; but you will pay! I have had Shell, TalkTalk and now Utility Warehouse as my contract changed hands. All equally poor in their own way. At last house, in the middle of nowhere, had BT, and never had a problem.

  Michael Day (@JustMike2K24) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia My WiFi and overall service has been up and down for over 2 weeks now. I’ve done all of the trouble shooting. I’ve checked the service. I done the old switch off and on. I just need to get somebody to visit and do it as I am unable to wfh because of it.

  mike davies (@DavMichael) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I’ve been sent a new router and it won’t let me connect any devices to it it’s a hub 5. I followed the instructions on the box to the letter. I’ve tried ringing the support number on the box which is completely automated and useless. Any advise ?

• 
  karen (@karenwigg1) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Everyone apologises, but I'm left with paying for a service that I can't use. It seems Virgins's time is more valuable than mine bc I'm threatened with a £25 fine if I miss the appt.. I feel that I'm owed at least some sort of refund for ny inconvenience and loss of service

• 
  not jay (@notjay92349724) reported 17 minutes ago

  @FuzziePieRat @virginmedia Mate, we had exactly the same same thing. Tried to reduce packages down (we were paying £131 a MONTH at the time) and we were assured our package had changed and we were paying SIGNIFICANTLY less. Our bill came through, no change…

  @virginmedia Ringing customer services was my first port of call and that got me nowhere.
