  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 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.

  • allymcgeorge
    Alvin TX Fernandez (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi I need to cancel an engineer appointment but clearly you've made this difficult to do. Any thoughts?

  • ZicoPete
    Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

  • 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.

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  • Stevedey
    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.

  • CazzaW
    CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • 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.).

  • clairekitty12

    @virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help

  • geemiller71
    Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Horrific customer service

  • Chickawacka
    Phil Byrne (@Chickawacka) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

  • stephwales_
    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.

  • Neil_Rivelino
    Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia still no reply. Have asked 3 times how 2 claim back for our additional browsing fees incurred due 2 #VirginMedia’s incompetence & are ghosted by your ‘customer resolve agent’. great when we spoke to her, was clearly pacifying.Happy to name her & share her email here?

  • gazza_d
    Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

  • 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.

  • KeithRwc
    Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, England

    Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

    Virgin Media is worst service provider in London. They will take your money and don't provide you right services. Customer service is pathetic and terrible.

  • NJS0580
    NJS (@NJS0580) reported

    @virginmedia Any idea when the broadband issue will be fixed in my area ? Teesside . It’s been slow for a good few weeks . Finally the service status page shows there is an issue ,the estimated fix date keeps changing. My internet is now working intermittently.

  • parky1021
    simon parkinson (@parky1021) reported

    Once again @virginmedia goes down Absolutely fed up of this now Shocking service Never used to be like this

  • rebecca_ryder21
    Rebecca Ryder 💙 (@rebecca_ryder21) reported

    @virginmedia we have been trying to call you for ages but it keeps saying wrong number when they answer the phone and after we put in all the details. Please help.

  • ClearlyOptional
    Dom Kane (@ClearlyOptional) reported

    @virginmedia - We pay a premium for your services and time and time again your service is down. thats us without access to a baby monitor, without access to baby health monitor - absolutely ridiculous. think it’s time for a change

  • rabtaylor1981
    Robert Taylor (@rabtaylor1981) reported

    @virginmedia Just fyi, 2 days of back and forth on DMs now, waiting hours for replies, and still nowhere! 2 more days paying for a service that doesn't work and I can't and don't use!

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @BertySi @virginmedia That's a flat no from @virginmedia on the MiFi with credit suggestion. Question is, are they prepared to do anything to help or assist seriously inconvenienced and frustrated customers?

  • Jools_Orca
    Jools (@Jools_Orca) reported

    @lsrlinda I’m pretty sure many have struggled with very poor English or a similarly strong accent. My neighbour is hard of hearing and swapped Virgin Media for BT due to such struggles.

  • LordBadshot
    Rob ⭐⭐️ (@LordBadshot) reported

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia @Starlink simples - best utility provider I have ever had and never gone down in the years I have been a customer.

  • MsLiberty1776US
    Charlotte Riggio (@MsLiberty1776US) reported

    @virginmedia you know what would be great? If your phone system worked so your agents could hear customers and not hang up on them saying there’s no response
