  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Okay so why was I told it would be coming by post in 5 working days and why have I still not had a call from an engineer? Kind of my main issues and you can't blame Yodel for them!!

  • Deborah24780132 Deborah Gibson (@Deborah24780132) reported from Newburn, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia sort your employees out, two days in a row they have called me and hung up when I asked them to remove my number from your system. Poor customer service !!!!

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

    @virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

  • chriswadehome Chris Wade (@chriswadehome) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia how do I manage the devices registered to the virgin tv go app. Online help not any help

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Why is @virginmedia customer service so unrelentingly bloody awful?? Still no call from an engineer, told replacement TiVo box would come by post for it to come out by courier and get notified of this 20 minutes after the delivery window has started and I was at work 😡

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Excuses excuses but no resolution how long will it take 2 days since incident raised and waiting for contact back as instructed why would I waste my day calling incompetent people when someone is trying allegedly to sort it Same old crap customer service

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Why can't you just deal with by dm and resolve the issue

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia After speaking to yet another member who stated they couldn’t do anything about it, I said I was going to cancel so I was transferred. The guy I spoke to was for once someone I could understand, he was able to sort my issue out in 10 minutes after being on the phone for 1 hour

  • Chickawacka Phil Byrne (@Chickawacka) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Still down now, can work from Catch Up or my recordings, but nothing live as there are no channels. Drop outs in WiFi too. Not great.

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Customer service non existant

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No customer service just ignore customers

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

    @BurnleyJo @virginmedia Yea they’ve got issues with certain channels

  • SimonBewick Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

  • Neil_Rivelino Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia my V6 boxes have stopped communicating with each other (in reality downstairs is talking to upstairs but not vice-verse). Anyone who can help?

  • mrbio1984 MaX (@mrbio1984) reported

    @virginmedia Yes they said something about a power line, then changed her mind to boosters, even though we've never had any, absolutely poor service, virgin owes me nearly £500 compensation for having no internet for nearly three months based on the £8.06 and your trying to get more out of me

  • Redskinblack Derrick Williams (@Redskinblack) reported

    @virginmedia so to clarify, the text alert service you provide for outages is triggered by a customer ringing up to find out what is wrong with their broadband? Can I ask who thought of that ingenious system? #really #bants

  • Soooperpigdog Andy Johnson (@Soooperpigdog) reported

    @GBNEWS Hi @virginmedia , can you get this shower-of-**** channel off my paid subscription please.

  • MarkgLcfc Mark Goodacre (@MarkgLcfc) reported

    @virginmedia called 10 days ago to negotiate better deal. Offered deal. Confirmation later was not what was agreed. Numerous calls by me to get resolved, going around in circles, promised calls back to resolve which have not happened, feel lied too. Customer service appalling

  • chris_tout Chris Tout (@chris_tout) reported

    @virginmedia Hi ZM, I had the following response to texting that number: - Unfortunately, we are unable to help with this over messaging. Please call this number on the original SMS that was sent to you.

  • GME1982 Gregory Edwards (@GME1982) reported

    @AndrewBober @virginmedia Nope, just bog standard poor customer service.

  • _ToastyJacks ToastyJackss (@_ToastyJacks) reported

    @virginmedia The issue isn't with the connection, it's with the consistency of the speeds received. I should be receiving 100mb down and 10mb up but rarely receive even half of either those figures.
