    @virginmedia please advise Reduced mobile signal in the NE31 area. The signals were fine until a couple of months ago. previously had 4g I now mainly get E or sometimes 3G this is an issue due to my elderly mother-in-law being in hospital and now very poor signal in their home

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  • 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!

    @Benleo @virginmedia Seriously, just cancel that crap.

  • Frantique4
    Frantique- Starmer's dad made a Tool. Vote Reform. (@Frantique4) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Virgin cancelled one of my email addresses (low usage). They won't admit they did. I'd already paid a techie to sort 'my' problem. He also phones them on my behalf because I don't understand their lovely accents when I do it. Still no email & no word from Virgin despite promises.

  • blueboy2710
    David (@blueboy2710) reported

    @mark_wootten Try Virgin Media, just as bad if not worse

  • IamCarrieagain
    Carrie (@IamCarrieagain) reported

    @virginmedia No, you absolutely don't understand. Leave me alone. Maybe I will be well enough at some point in the future to sort this. Maybe not. Your treatment of disabled people and your withholding of key information to a customer is disgusting. I'm cut off now, thanks.

    @virginmedia Dear Virgin I have no WiFi. Please help. I thought full fibre would put an end to a rubbish WiFi I also cannot make your app accept my account reference number or area reference number

  • radioclashblog
    (((Tim from Radio Clash))) 🌈 🏳️‍🌈💛🤍💜🖤 (@radioclashblog) reported

    Sadly we are still last mile copper here, no Community/Open Reach fibre yet but we do have Virgin Media (old cable)... Yes I know...but I suspect support will be as **** like nearly all of them now....if Plusnet wasn't dropping phones and Zen wasn't hyper expensive I'd use them.

  • tdog1410
    oatcake (@tdog1410) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia entered my pensioner mother in law into a new contract because she paid her bill the month after her original contract ended and cause she now moved to BT chasing her for hundreds of pounds for a contract she never entered into
