  • PaulCraig24 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

  • CraigSmartUN Craig Smart 💙 (@CraigSmartUN) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia trying to set up online account ready for install on Wednesday, verification email expired. Clicking send new email but no email is being sent so can’t verify email. Please help!

  • 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.

  • ema_neale emma (@ema_neale) reported 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!

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

  • 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!!

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

    @virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

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

    @virginmedia I’ve looked & it’s no help

  • Rainbowztwit Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported 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?

  • JimothyP James Pell (@JimothyP) reported

    @virginmedia Internet/TV now been down nearly 24 hours in NG4. Absolutely no updates other than should be back at 16:00 today and it's now two hours hence. Is there just no communication?

  • Pedro_BCFC Pedro_bcfc (@Pedro_BCFC) reported

    Having to cancel my @virginmedia contract and requesting a freedom of information about the number of complaints and engineers I've had to fix a repeating issue while charging £47 a month. I reckon I'll get the cancellation fee returned.

  • SamiSManchester Sami S. Manchester (@SamiSManchester) reported

    again no one comes. I’ve called customer service and pre-installation team for 8 times. A horrible experience. Account number: 514190301 Maybe a sensible member of customer relations department wants to solve my problem. @virginmedia #virginmedia

  • Keez0G Keez0G 🕹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Keez0G) reported

    @virginmedia your customer service is actually abysmal

  • simonlevans simon le vans 💙 (@simonlevans) reported

    @The_Duck_Father @virginmedia I’m too attached to the TiVo box. What needs to happen is for them to run a reliable service!

  • BigStoo92 Stoo (@BigStoo92) reported

    @virginmedia Issue has now been resolved and as I guessed from the start there was a problem in my area. How can I cancel my engineer visit?

  • EmmaEmser Emma Foster (@EmmaEmser) reported

    @virginmedia Done this every day this week, says no issues - says to contact if need further assistance but unable to speak to someone

  • CompleteGoober Gary Pickles (@CompleteGoober) reported

    @virginmedia Cheers for the "upgrade", which has lead to all my devices disconnecting from WiFi after 10 seconds. 3-5 days for a technician to get back in touch. How am I supposed to work? Absolute garbage. 3 months into being with Virgin and I really wish I hadn't signed up

  • JimG747 Mr Gingerlegs (@JimG747) reported

    @Emma_A_Webb @virginmedia Change to @Vodaphone4 their equipment and service is so much better , and humans answer the phone on the third ring.
