• 
  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 5 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  Ye 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.

  Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported 6 minutes ago from Walker Gate, England

  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 I have to wait 24hrs & call back not only is the red light an issue, the WiFi has now stopped working!

  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 11 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.).

  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 36 minutes ago 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

• 
  Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported 38 minutes ago from Mitford, England

  Sam (@purplelime) reported 55 minutes ago 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.

  Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported 55 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

  James Drury (@jamespdrury) reported 47 seconds ago

  Considering Virgin Media broadband but don't want a Hub 5? If you're in a VM full fibre area, GiffGaff broadband comes with an Eero 6+ and 900Mb (UP & DOWN) is just £32 per month, no mid contract increases. Use own router for upto 1.2Gb. Use referral code K0DEJXGV for £50 credit.

  @virginmedia I currently have a contract with Virgin Media for a mobile phone which I wish to terminate can you please advise me of a number I can call to sort this matter out Unfortunately I cannot call 202 because the current phone is broken Thank You Colin Burman

  Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @NatGeoUK I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!

• 
  Deano (@deanspread) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Well I’m at work now but it was working then going off for a couple minutes then back on all day. Then about 9pm went off for 20 mins then back on. Went on your page to check the service and it was saying nothing was wrong.

• 
  Harry (@Rzchy) reported 5 minutes ago

  Does anyone on virgin media get 15% packet loss and 225 ping on west host? It’s been happening for about 3 weeks now got to be a fix somewhere

• 
  Diplo (@loldiplo) reported 8 minutes ago

  . @virginmedia can you explain why your servers are down again. It’s pathetic constantly happening and conveniently falls on a bank holiday weekend so most of your customers will be without service for 2 days. Disgrace of a company.

• 
  Red Hand Rohl (@TheHarvDawg72) reported 14 minutes ago

  8 hours worth of calls and 7 hours sitting on the live chat with virgin media and I haven’t spoken to a single British person 🤯 Genuinely the worst customer service Ave ever had in my life btw

  . @virginmedia Is the web-mail still broken? It wasn’t working earlier today (Monday).

  David Brierley 🍺 🏌️‍♂️ (@davidlbrierley) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have to switch the subtitles on again if I change the channel ? These are the main concerns regarding the 'upgrade' which unfortunately I am stuck with Surely if you have the technology to upgrade you will have the technology to achieve a down grade

  Craig (@bricknblock1981) reported 26 minutes ago

  @virginmedia AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Absolutely awful customer service. Schedule appointments and never turn up. We are now on our 5th rescheduled appointment in 5 days and no expected timeframe for a resolution. Total loss of service 11 days and counting…
