    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?

  • 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 hi I need to cancel an engineer appointment but clearly you've made this difficult to do. Any thoughts?

  • UnicornRunning
    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.

  • ScottN1504
    Scott Noble (@ScottN1504) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Has anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 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.

    @virginmedia All my tv, broadband and phone services are down. Nobody available from Virgin to help. Done all the usual checks and still off.

  • Nicola_Johnston
    Nic Johnston 🇺🇦🌻 (@Nicola_Johnston) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia come on. You just have a good idea from the outage earlier today how long this is going to take. I’m trying to WFH with Covid. @bt_uk how long does it take to switch providers?

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

  • purplelime
    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.

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever

    Hayley Laura (@LilHay) reported

    @_AnaCristina_ @virginmedia Can you use your data to go on your online account lovey? Do that and down the side it gives a WhatsApp option. They’re open 8-8 and v v good at getting back to u within 10 mins or so

  • gill_frost
    Gill (@gill_frost) reported

    @MichelleBeckett @SkyUK @VodafoneUK Thank you for sharing. I have been meaning to move from virgin media for a while because of their poor customer service and this has decided it for me.

  • GDW1807
    Gareth Williamson (@GDW1807) reported

    @virginmedia why send a text saying the issue is fixed, when it isn't?

  • UAVHive
    UAVHive (@UAVHive) reported

    Virgin Media simply do not seem to grasp customer service, I really fear the damage the merger with O2 will do to the service there. Penny pinching over a bereavement is proof of a fundamentally mismanaged customer service.

  • JuliaCoombcj
    Julia Coombs (@JuliaCoombcj) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Unfortunately this is standard procedure. Tried to cancel Sky TV just before contract ended as price had risen,watched the date like a hawk. They advised me to take out the 2 years again and cancel on the date. Hope you never notice. Why isn’t this illegal?

  • unia_x
    unia (@unia_x) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Hartlepool, Swindon, Reading - 3 places where I know for a fact a VM connection has packet loss. They’re selling a broken service and are getting away with it.

  • ape_steinUK
    Jackson Lamb’s Coat (@ape_steinUK) reported

    @Stsantek @virginmedia Virgin are poisonous. We have 1 GB, we’re lucky if we get half that, hard wired. The patronising pleb on the phone said “you must be too far away from the router” I’ve just had a renewal quote for 48.99 a month but a new customer can get it 29.99 (on the website as we speak) Scum
