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
-
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.).
-

Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandHello @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.

-
Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, EnglandLooks 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?
-
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
-
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.
-
Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported 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!
-

-
O2 (@O2) reported@kimerthywoo Hi it's us from Virgin Media O2. Sorry to hear your having this issue. If possible could you send us a screenshot of the error you are getting over a private chat, so we can look into this for you.
-
Kyle (@daddytoatribe) reported@virginmedia If you can offer a deal to a new customer you should be able to offer the same deal for existing customers. This is why your retention rate is diabolical because the introductory offers expire and the new offer is 300% more than what they was paying. Should be illegal
-
Free I.T. Stafford (@freeITstafford) reported@irons1de1 @JamieGBarry @virginmedia The crunch came for me when I was almost a week without service, ultimately transpiring that an engineer error had caused an attenuator to be fitted to my cable instead of my neighbour's. That spelled the end of co-ax in my life.
-
🦉 (@_littleimpulse) reported@virginmedia Yes: no WiFi. It went off in the middle on the thunderstorm Wednesday night/early Thursday morning & has not reconnected. Online it’s saying a hub connection issue, but I know it went off with the storm…
-
Ben Evans (@benev91) reported@virginmedia we have been without internet for a week now. Rinsed through mobile data. Fix date apparently (4th date given) now on 3rd June. We have received compensation but an easy fix would’ve been to give us unlimited data on our mobiles (both with o2) for the month.
-
CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reported@virginmedia this has gone beyond the pale now. You already know all the issues my dad and I have had for, well, weeks now. Dad had all his recordings deleted and now his new recordings are recording and now, when he’s watched part of something he can’t go back and watch it because it says the recording has failed. This has happened on every recording. It seems to record fine then changes to failed. Get this sorted and get the broadband sorted. How @Ofcom isn’t all over this I don’t know. Pushing people to take the V6 and then a year later this happens. Shocking.
-
Emma Spurdle (@EmmaSpurdle) reported@virginmedia Yes but the issue has been going on since Thursday at 10pm. It’s now Saturday!
-
updick (@updick1) reported@BelfastBooks @virginmedia @MartinSLewis EE charged my mother in law for 2 years for wifi. She never got a box and was unaware of what she was paying.
-
mike davies (@DavMichael) reported@virginmedia Not good enough really though is it 2 days without any service at all now saying 5 pm today which will undoubtedly change
-
Miles (@milesc2003) reported@virginmedia “Intermittent signal in your area” check back in, in X amount of hours. Been that way since 7am this morning. I get that something has gone wrong beyond your control. But to know what has gone wrong would be nice to know. Thanks
