    Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

  • 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.

  • didixon74
    LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks

    @jmstocka @virginmedia Has to be the worst app going. It regularly says this to me despite the 47 step verification

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

    @_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

  • geemiller71
    Gareth Miller 🇺🇦 (@geemiller71) reported from Washington, England

    @ee no signal on 5g in @IcelandFoods wife 4g on @virginmedia full signal.

  • gaznolan
    Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia Ridiculous service from your team in Manilla. Both Joy & Brian telling me I wasn't able to pass security because I couldn't tell them my next bill date as the package/contract is ended even after telling them my normal date and all other DP information

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

    @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...

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

    @virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now

  • SimonBewick
    Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    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!

  • 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

  • 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.).

  • dowlo100
    Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @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

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

  • 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

  • EmSatch
    EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

  • 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.

  • scotty8461
    Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

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

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

    Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia I would rather have no Internet or TV than go with Virgin! Probably the worst company in the UK (and India) but hope you get no issues!

  • epwhamilton
    Edward Hamilton (@epwhamilton) reported

    @virginmedia I'm aware that that's what it shows, however one of your agents has told me that there is a network issue and no information is being communicated nor is it being acknowledged on the website. To say it is my equipment is disingenuous

  • Beccaaaa_x_
    Bэccaaaa (@Beccaaaa_x_) reported

    @debbierowe1 @virginmedia My tv just went black and now not working

  • RosieLastOf6
    Rosie (@RosieLastOf6) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve had to get my neighbour in to check everything for me, I have mobility issues. Seems to be ok now.

    Way Of The Hunter 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@ACaldwell68074) reported

    @O2 @davehpayne Every time I lTRY log in to my @O2 app, I continually have to sign in through Virgin media which sends email to click link, then repeatedly sends me back to send another email to my account again and so on and on, I don't even have a virgin media account. It's a nightmare.

  • Gav288
    Gavin Lee (@Gav288) reported

    @virginmedia We moved house 29th May and took our contract with us. Nearly 2 weeks later and we still have no TV services. Spent over 8 hours on the phone since we moved, been told it’s an IT issue but still not resolved. Is the IT guy on holiday?

  • robhjones
    Rob Jones (@robhjones) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve only used iplayer since changing but it’s impossible to watch anything so there’s obviously some connection problem and extremely annoying as its in the evening when we watch

  • Naish2Martin
    Martinius (@Naish2Martin) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia I hope for your sake that you don’t get technical issues with Virgin. I changed to them twice from Sky, they were awful !

  • eightieschick72
    Charmaine Rome (@eightieschick72) reported

    @virginmedia @epwhamilton @virginmedia Same issue here. Took 1 hour on the phone to Virgin to be told there’s an outage. No comment about it on your website. And no idea when it’s being fixed. Moved from BT 3 weeks ago for more reliable internet. Not impressed at all.
