  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported 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

  • 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

  • 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 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.

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia trying to pay my Internet bill and its saying all my information is wrong??can you help

  • 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.

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia She’s sent me a service receipt out

  • 40yearsofhurt JOP (@40yearsofhurt) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  • Deggsytweets Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England

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

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia won't even let me over the automated service

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

  • NETheatreGuide NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

  • RobbyRSSRobot Robby #CelebrateNeighbours (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

  • seldomseenkid16 Georgina McGowan (@seldomseenkid16) reported from Gateshead, England

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

  • 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.

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    was in my old home for 2 year with @virginmedia never had any problems now moved into my new home TV gone off gotta wait 5 days for it foxed broadband keeps dropping NOT GOOD I know we all have teething problems bit this is complete joke

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

    @virginmedia No help needed, thanks - just praising the deal I was given last night 🙌

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!

  • 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.

  • kateprescott67 Kate Prescott (@kateprescott67) reported

    @virginmedia I’ll leave it, I don’t really have time to be calling and being on hold. I don’t understand why the issue online can’t be fixed? It’s been like that for a week, I’ve tried at different times and different days and it’s still the same error message.

  • Laurastrupish Laura Strupish (@Laurastrupish) reported

    @virginmedia We’ve been speaking to your customer service team for over 6 months now. Our service constantly drops out, the wifi won’t connect. When we put the password in it tells us it’s incorrect. We’re currently on our 3rd hub and are experiencing the same issues again!

  • jero974 Jerome HOARAU (@jero974) reported

    @virginmedia No advise has been given. They just said it is a more complex issue and it takes longer than usual.

  • kopanski_lukasz lukasz.kopanski (@kopanski_lukasz) reported

    @virginmedia I was chasing a complaint and that someone meant to contact me but it didn’t. Your chat says - go to WhatsApp as it’s quicker. So I did and waited over 3 hours for reply, your CS is so poor it cannot be even ranked. Shame as you used to be so good

  • DKMew Darren Mew (@DKMew) reported

    @virginmedia No. You said you’d look into and get back to me. It took 3 calls and 90mins to get the complaint logged. Virgin just need to do what they said they would.

  • hbodi Heather (@hbodi) reported

    Come on @virginmedia 3rd weekend in a row where broadband is down yet you're saying there is no issues! Strange how it's fine all week and just goes off for the weekends!

  • kateprescott67 Kate Prescott (@kateprescott67) reported

    @virginmedia Tried this but not getting anywhere? Support is just none existent

  • emmayay EmmaMowles (@emmayay) reported

    @virginmedia No they didn’t. The last repair date we were given was 6pm on 10th Oct and we were told it will definitely be fixed by then. This has been an ongoing issue all summer and it’s so frustrating. We just want to get this resolved and receive the service we are paying for.

  • mrTREVZ_ Jak C (@mrTREVZ_) reported

    @virginmedia I have now been transferred to yet another “team” and been told to wait again. As if 3 hours isn’t enough already. Why should I stay with you when this is the treatment of a customer who’s been with you for years. There’s no incentive or quality whatsoever.

  • Chazzoboii ᴄʜᴀᴢᴢ (@Chazzoboii) reported

    @virginmedia Yup, issues in my area again... been like this for 3 days now.
