  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

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

    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!!

  • 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.

  • geemiller71
    Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Dont wanna air my business over a feed. Asvised phone we got was outa stock. Faulty phone . Was gonna exchange bit out of stock.i had to cancel contract then take a new one out. But send phone back but wife hasnt a spare???

  • 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?

  • 66_mazza
    Mazza 66 (@66_mazza) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 4 hrs of drivel,inane quedtions 5 TIMES I'VE PROVIDED SECURITY,5 plus hours now,no more,your latest un helpful operator is now asking about moving house WHAT???? I want out ASAP,my god no wonder you amateurs get bad press,Im actually questioning their ability to even read????

  • 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?

  • maxinetennet74
    Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported 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.

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 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

  • 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

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

  • vitosauras

    **** off Virgin Media, useless bollocks

  • Look_North
    Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

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

    @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

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

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

  • hylt64
    Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

    @virginmedia two nights in a row the internet goes down, yous are a bag of shite

    CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reported

    And the two guys who help us get our media up and running don't get a mention because Virgin have not asked us how they did. That'e because they were from another region and it doesn't represent how **** VIRGIN MEDIA is in Scotland.

  • MrsReidteaches
    Kerrie Reid (@MrsReidteaches) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 I just want to speak to a real person about my locked account but can't get past the first part of automated phone service 🤬 not impressed. Who can help please?

  • sadiejane29
    Sadie~Jane (@sadiejane29) reported

    @virginmedia I was meant to get a call back over 2 weeks ago from Maddie. Still waiting 🤔 Clearly saw the state of the complain & decided you couldn't be bothered. Every time my mum has rang, you have documented it as something completely different. Terrible service really 😑

  • KG_ExTiNcTiOn
    KG ExTiNcTiOn (@KG_ExTiNcTiOn) reported

    @virginmedia 20 hours for an estimated time of fix is an absolute joke

  • abdullah17801
    abdullah (@abdullah17801) reported

    @virginmedia Hi , I’m really disappointed for the customer service standard, I have been charged twice double my bill and I have contacted the customer service team they promised me to solve the problem and call me back in week time. Somehow now more than 10 days and no one call

  • argyledavros
    Dave Warrilow (@argyledavros) reported

    @vriginmeditif @virginmedia these appear to be impersonating. Your customer service is bad enough as it is.

  • Yolandae
    BeKind (@Yolandae) reported

    @virginmedia I did, but it’s still not working. The estimated repair time has been changed numerous times, yet the issue remains unresolved.

    @virginmedia What's the phone number for tech support? My hub5 has died (ds scanning) and the online checker has been saying to try again in 4h for the last 24h.
