  Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported 5 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….

  Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported 6 minutes ago 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.

  Has anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible

• 
  Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported 8 minutes ago 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

  Craig Smart 💙 (@CraigSmartUN) reported 17 minutes ago 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!

  Sam (@purplelime) reported 25 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 25 minutes ago 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.

  1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

• 
  Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported 42 minutes ago from Mitford, England

  @virginmedia Ridiculous service from your team in Manilla. Both Joy & Brian telling me I wasn't able to pass security because I couldn't tell them my next bill date as the package/contract is ended even after telling them my normal date and all other DP information

  Gareth Miller 🇺🇦 (@geemiller71) reported 42 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia broadband down??? Ne34????

• 
  NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 46 minutes ago 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.

  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 47 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

  Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported 47 minutes ago from Washington, England

  Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

• 
  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 54 minutes ago 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.

  Max Pallas (@SuddenLife) reported 6 minutes ago

  @gloucesterglass @virginmedia Mobile phone signal in Tewkesbury is virtually non existent. I can’t send SMS text inside my home, there no 5G, and I get a weak 4G on Tewkesbury bypass. Fortunately, I have good WiFi, YouFibre 900mb for £24 monthly.

  Colin (@Colinmc7t) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Yeah yeah yeah absolutely useless service

• 
  Gauci Reports (@GauciReports) reported 14 minutes ago

  @LPXIOP This isn’t anything new tbh. The two copper networks are basically BT & Virgin Media. They’ve been migrating across to VOIP (Voice over ip) for a long time now. Unfortunately copper networks have become old and expensive to maintain and quality of service just deteriorates over time with fault calls, replacing cables and customer complaints etc.

  @virginmedia I have an engineer visit booked but it’s not showing on the app. I’ve raised a complaint about that but my complaint isn’t showing on the app. I started a live chat and was asked to move to WhatsApp’s, but didn’t receive any comms. How can I get a response from you?
