  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported 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.

  • UnicornRunning
    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.

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 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

    @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...

    @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?

  • Carl_Walsh33
    Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia I look forward to the money off the bill for the issues.

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

    @virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

  • VictoriaBarry82
    Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

  • CraigSmartUN
    Craig Smart 💙 (@CraigSmartUN) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Hi spoke to Customer services was told IT would get email sent out to me. 3 days later still no email to verify my email address so I can log into my online account.

    @virginmedia broadband down??? Ne34????

  • 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

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

    @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.

  • 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.

    @virginmedia For the last 72 hours the internet goes down around 930 and comes back up in the evening. What is going on? I have sent a DM and not getting a response

  • theRealNickle
    Time for change (@theRealNickle) reported

    @virginmedia Failure to keep promises and agreements made to resolve issues. Wrong phone number, no Netflix and a request to return equipment I'm still paying for.

  • iscpst
    Paul “2 jabs” Thomas (@iscpst) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you for the update. I am not questioning the fix time as I appreciate these issues are complex. My point is the sending of an SMS message stating the issue is fixed, but then receiving a further message stating it is still being worked on.
