Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.
-
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/

Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported from Newburn, England@GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.
-
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
-
Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandWell 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!
-
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.).
-
CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandWakey wakey @virginmedia shoddy service not to update a LOT of the UK on broadband problems
-
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.
-
Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.
-
LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England@virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks

Davie G 🇬🇧 (@fredbeare) reportedWhy is such a pain to contact @virginmedia to become a new customer, and even when you do the sales team don’t listen. Will just stick with BT not because they’re good, just because Virgin don’t listen
-
nikky linnane (@NLinnane) reportedIs Elaine Burke the only tech expert available in Ireland for tv ? She's never off virgin media and now she's on rte news. It would be great if we could have other view points not just one because they are connected to the right people.
-
Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported@virginmedia Still waiting on your chat agent - to say he/she is incompetent would be the mother of all understatements. And yes, I've tried calling in the past, and that experience was so frustratingly pointless that I'm never trying again.
-
Paul Erasmus (@Paul__Erasmus) reported@virginmedia How do I cancel my account? 🤔 So tired of sitting on a never answered 0345 phone number to talk to a representative. Very bad service.
