    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

    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!

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

    @virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried to use the add-on service as being a broadband customer I’m able to download to the O2 app however I cannot sign in as I do not have a mobile number and it will not accept my landline, can you help

  • PatternThimble
    Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    @bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

  • clairekitty12

    @virginmedia I did the online thing before contacting u it says needs a tech . But it doesnt it needs your outage fixed .

    @virginmedia won't even let me over the automated service

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

    @virginmedia can you help me please everytime I try to log in the virgin media app on my mobile account it's logs me off all the time why ?

  • 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

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 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.

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported 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.

  • hylt64
    Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported 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

  • RockcliffeFiles
    Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

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

    @virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

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

    Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

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

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

  • Look_North
    Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • scotty8461

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

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

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia What’s more insane is that you are using Virgin Media. One of the worst service provider in the UK alongside O2.

  • kkitkat_exe
    spidella's kitkat🍫 || exams (@kkitkat_exe) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia dude virgin media probably dont even know what theyre charging you for their customer service is so *** talk to an ombudsman theyll get back to you much quicker

  • mrwood71
    Mick.W (@mrwood71) reported

    @virginmedia you have the most rudest and aggressive sales personnel that called me after checking your website and thinking of joining. @skytv you have the worst renewal offer after joining 15 years ago when returning from overseas service Any alternatives?

  • cleggy1966
    Simon (@cleggy1966) reported

    @virginmedia I already have done and it is hopefully being sorted. All depends on whether the engineer turns up this afternoon or whether you decide to cancel the appointment again

  • SarahDruscilla
    Sarah Loughran (@SarahDruscilla) reported

    @O2 since joining virgin media the coverage in Milton Keynes is terrible. I’m almost always on 1 bar. You’ve gone from being the best signal in the area to probably the worst.

  • djraw123
    jane rawlings (@djraw123) reported

    @virginmedia The worst service provider ever ! This is the final straw ! You steal people’s money !

  • cleggy1966
    Simon (@cleggy1966) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. Because there was still an outage in the area, you cancelled the appointments. My issue was separate to the outage, but apparently you just cancel any appointments when there is an outage, irrespective of whether the issue relates to it or not. Madness.

  • Conquistadur
    RR (@Conquistadur) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia Just leave them they'll never get the money of you anyhow, and there's no way they can stop you leaving. Just sign up with a new company that will come to your house and install an order with no problems.. you are already disconnected, so there's nothing they can do.

  • laankaan
    kaan #freeimamoglu (@laankaan) reported

    @virginmedia So should I check your outage page daily to see if I’m getting the service I’m already being overcharged for? It took 30 minutes to talk to someone btw. Also; scaring people to overpriced renewals 6 months in advance is DISGUSTING.

  • AndrewW12290183
    Andy W (@AndrewW12290183) reported

    @virginmedia Well after 30 years that's me left VM. I would advise anyone to check their contracts to make sure you are not getting charged for a package you never signed up for(Like me) Forget complaining and watch out for the trick of you having to apply for a returns package
