    .@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?

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia She’s sent me a service receipt out

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

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

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

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

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

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

    @virginmedia Hi spoke to Customer services was told IT would get email sent out to me. 3 days later still no email to verify my email address so I can log into my online account.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • lugsytams paul stevenson (@lugsytams) reported

    @virginmedia Not according to app and also it’s went on for months so I’m sure any issues in area would have flagged up by your teams

  • thegeneraleight william bryant (@thegeneraleight) reported

    @virginmedia I'm having problems with my Internet dipping for the past few months now, doesn't matter if its connected by wired or WiFi. I'm still having problems despite speaking to a member of staff 2 days ago. I cant get intouch with anyone as line's r constantly busy.

  • yorkiegrandma Brenda rotherforth (@yorkiegrandma) reported

    @virginmedia your broadband service is terrible and your customer service is beyond a joke, 2 outstanding complaints with you and I receive a letter for one informing me I need educating. Termination pending unless you have a human being whom we can actually speak to.

  • lorna78xxx lorna (@lorna78xxx) reported

    @virginmedia why is no one answering my messages Web chat phone calls the customer service is shocking I want to make a complaint I've been trying since last Friday

  • TomJoyc80263115 Tom Joyce (@TomJoyc80263115) reported

    @virginmedia Need help to sign up to a new TV bundle, but I am waiting almost 2 hours on the phone to get through ??

  • Simonmcouat Simon McOuat (@Simonmcouat) reported

    @virginmedia I've just been told to 'shut up' by one of your employees when asking about a price increase. Ive been transferred/put on hold waiting for who knows who to come back on the phone! Is this how you deal with every customer?

  • lugsytams paul stevenson (@lugsytams) reported

    @virginmedia Hi thanks for your reply My mother has said that late afternoon into evening that the picture becomes pixelated I’ve tried rebooting system as directed by app numerous times and followed all the advice by the app or online information but issue still exists

  • _edawsonn Dawson (@_edawsonn) reported

    The worst bit about being back home until further notice is the bloody internet. It’s shocking!! @KCOMhome constantly up & down. I get a better service from @virginmedia #kcomiswank

  • leighfwarren Leigh Warren (@leighfwarren) reported

    @virginmedia @JoeBLynam 150 and the 0345 numbers are putting the phone. The are 'all busy'. I'm wondering how they can justify the £3.50 a month price rise with this service.

  • liammorris91 Liam Morris (@liammorris91) reported

    @virginmedia It would help if people could actually get through on that phone number when the service is faulty!!
