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

    @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!)

  • KiddEdan Edan Kidd (@KiddEdan) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia But do you understand that this is a problem in my area you were aware of ! Said it would be fixed but it hasen't ? It just needs reporting i don't need a tech to my house i beed it to the area

  • 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.).

  • 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.

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

    A week of no issues after a month of next to no tv and now it starts all over again. I have sound and the guide but just a black screen on every channel. So glad my contract is up, deffo going to be leaving this time. Waste of time and money!!!!! @virginmedia

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    **** off Virgin Media, useless bollocks

  • tenchylad Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

  • 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 ?

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

    @virginmedia why is phone network not working and plus can't phone people or text tryed restarting phone still. Nothing can't even ring you guys WTAF

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

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

  • 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.

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

    1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

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

    Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

  • hopkins_jane jane hopkins (@hopkins_jane) reported

    @virginmedia I have been advised my bill is going from £43 to £72 a month. I need to cancel as i cannot afford this. I’ve spent over 3 hours holding on separate occasions to be cut off or advised of a fault. Help, please

  • matt_greener Mat Greener (@matt_greener) reported

    @virginmedia your £150 pm price hike still can't get thru either engaged or message we're too busy to answer your call right now then closes down call. My parents will not be able to spend the time trying to contact you & they like me have been customers 20+ years.

  • raunak_l Raunak Lodha (@raunak_l) reported

    @virginmedia Broadband stops working everyday. VM diagnostics doesn't diagnose or resolve it, Chat support points to 03454541111 which isn't accepting calls. Broadband not working at all now. Please resolve at the earliest.

  • michaelmknight Michael Knight (@michaelmknight) reported

    @virginmedia It shows, companies like Virgin Media don’t care about its loyal customers. Instead of helping poor individuals/families, they raise the bill again by around £3.50 p/m. No speed boost or anything! But new customers get cheap deals. This really can't be justified.

  • chrisrogan Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported

    @virginmedia Had to ring 5 times, got the money back for a few months and still await @WeAreOpenreach putting in the fibre down my street then I'll be offski to @zeninternet

  • Gregorinski Greg (@Gregorinski) reported

    @Virgin @virginmedia Outage in PO16 get the tinternet working. No service 3 days ! #virginmedia #virginoutage

  • IeuanGriffiths9 Ieuan Griffiths 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@IeuanGriffiths9) reported

    @virginmedia we’ve been moved to a 18 month contract from 30 day rolling despite staff assuring us this wouldn’t happen when we moved house. Tried calling to cancel 3 times but get cut off after waiting 45 mins + each time

  • Si_the_Intrepid Si (@Si_the_Intrepid) reported

    @virginmedia Called to cancel becasue of price rise. Am cut off every time I'm put through to cancellations. Do you do this on purpose to get people to give up? Sick of going through this **** every year. How can I cancel!

  • Dlenn93 David Lennon (@Dlenn93) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried 5 different cables, all result in similar speeds. I am currently using a 2 meter long Cat 8 cable, capable of delivering speeds of up to 10gbps. The cable is not the issue as I have access to a range of cables from cat 5 to cat 8, all yielding similar speeds.

  • kennyhd ken h 96.5% (@kennyhd) reported

    @virginmedia I put notice in on 12/1/22, but I've received notice of a normal DD going out on 10/2/22. I'm waiting for an email reply to my email sent to CEO Lutz Schüler this afternoon asking for confirmation of service cessation on 11/2/22 and a pro rata final bill of £25.20 not £36.50.
