  Sam (@purplelime) reported 3 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia I was told to log into the Myo2 app to change it myself, but I have been sent no login details and of course if the email address is incorrect it won’t be recognised if I try to register. O2 said we would receive texts with updates on number port timeline but had no communication

  @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!)

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 17 minutes ago 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.

  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.

  Nic Johnston 🇺🇦🌻 (@Nicola_Johnston) reported 30 minutes ago from Mitford, England

  @virginmedia come on. You just have a good idea from the outage earlier today how long this is going to take. I’m trying to WFH with Covid. @bt_uk how long does it take to switch providers?

  🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported 32 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

  liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported 33 minutes ago 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 ?

  LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 37 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported 41 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

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

• 
  David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 51 minutes ago 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

• 
  Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported 51 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported 55 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported 59 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!

  Sam (@purplelime) reported 60 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia No help needed, thanks - just praising the deal I was given last night 🙌

  Monty Kumbulla (@KumbullaMonty) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia What are the chances of a very-light-use customer that has been with you for THIRTY YEARS getting a deal at the same cost as a brand new customer?

• 
  amc (@flabcab) reported 18 minutes ago

  @CheekyVic @virginmedia Can't think of a good one tbh. All customer service. For virtually everything. Is piss poor.

• 
  Colin (@Colinmc7t) reported 19 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Yeah yeah yeah absolutely useless service

• 
  Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported 27 minutes ago

  @virginmedia If you check the DMs I’ve sent you 42 messages in the last 16 days. You have replied to lots of them. But you have never been able to tell me why the fix is taking so long, whether/when any engineering staff have actually turned up to look at our cabling, or when it will be fixed

•
