    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

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

    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.

  • 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.

  • EmSatch
    EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

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

    @virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

    Wakey wakey @virginmedia shoddy service not to update a LOT of the UK on broadband problems

  • pumbingchap
    Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

  • P25_Fletch
    Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

  • liamsholder91
    liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp what the hell is going on I don't have any data no phone calls nothing help please got use my home internet

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever

  • 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 Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

  • 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!

  • adamappleby
    Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?

  • classicm
    Mike Moody (@classicm) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia All my tv, broadband and phone services are down. Nobody available from Virgin to help. Done all the usual checks and still off.

  • Ne31phil
    Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported from Hebburn, England

    @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

  • gaznolan
    Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported 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

  • waughzone
    Duncan Waugh (@waughzone) reported

    @dobbin1957 @virginmedia I struggle to get any communication from @virginmedia at all but then, when they did communicate, it contained blatant lies saying they had fixed the issue and an engineer had been out (neither of those things happened).

    @virginmedia @icanlevitateoff your page said ' there's an issue, you can can schedule an appointment in 24 hrs' next morning, issue gone, no problem right?? Happens far too often, but thankfully they're installing fiber on my street.

    @MoMohler We've got a mirror above our fireplace. Terrible reception on it for FreeSat and Virgin Media.

    @virginmedia It happens almost every evening from around 8pm to 9.30pm. It is also quite poor on a Sunday afternoon for a number of hours.

    @ClaimDeparx7p0 No chance. Making a fake account to try and get info out of people trying to fix a problem is pretty ******. Are you aware they are doing this @virginmedia ?

    @virginmedia internet is down in the RH11 area, AGAIN! This service absolutely sucks!
