  Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported 3 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 3 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.

  @virginmedia I have to wait 24hrs & call back not only is the red light an issue, the WiFi has now stopped working!

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 7 minutes ago 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.

  Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

  emma (@ema_neale) reported 8 minutes ago 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!

  @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

  @virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?

• 
  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 21 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

  Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 27 minutes ago 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

  Sam (@purplelime) reported 37 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.

  @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

  Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported 50 minutes ago 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

  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 60 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)

  @virginmedia hi, our internet has been intermittent since 30th May (ML2), with resolution dates moving back repeatedly. Can you advise on a ACTUAL date from which we will resume 100% service?

  @gloucesterglass @virginmedia They are possibly the worst company ever, still no engineer a week later, and one of us works from home. You will definitely find better, you can't get any worse.

  Jonathan Black (@jonblackbsb) reported 7 minutes ago

  I love on a street where it seems over 50% of households use @VMO2Life @virginmedia . That’s quite a lot of £££ per month paid out . But for the best part of a year everyone’s work has been disrupted by poor or no service . Apparently it’s noise emanating from a house 🏠 🤷1/2

  @virginmedia @BBCWatchdog Virgin Media do not care about there customers, they don't take serious complaints seriously! They take unauthorised monies then fail to refund ! They make it up as they go along. In other words please sort out my refund ASAP.

  @virginmedia @PaulMcDade7 All your self service checker tells me is it can't connect to the kit in my house, because there's no internet. What's the ETA on a fix?
