    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

    Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    @bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

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

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

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

  • Rainbowztwit
    Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

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

    @virginmedia She’s sent me a service receipt out

  • Ne31phil
    Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia please advise Reduced mobile signal in the NE31 area. The signals were fine until a couple of months ago. previously had 4g I now mainly get E or sometimes 3G this is an issue due to my elderly mother-in-law being in hospital and now very poor signal in their home

  • 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.

  • mickeywhizz
    Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

  • dannog_8
    Dan (@dannog_8) reported

    Just about had it with both O2 and Virgin Media. Both cost a fortune and get an absolutely abysmal service!

  • usmaenghani
    Usman Ghani (@usmaenghani) reported

    @virginmedia one of the worst technical, customer call and messaging service you have.

  • fludgate1
    Callum Fludgate (@fludgate1) reported

    @virginmedia How am I meant to get on the page when I have no internet access by phone or tv? That’s my problem my phone gone down as well.. I’m only using my dad’s internet atm !!

  • liamsimo95
    liam (@liamsimo95) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam @bt_uk what broadband services do you offer to new customers? As @virginmedia broadband is **** and repeatedly disappoint all customers, surely won’t be too hard to provide a decent service rather than mediocrity

  • SarahDruscilla
    Sarah Loughran (@SarahDruscilla) reported

    @O2 since joining virgin media the coverage in Milton Keynes is terrible. I’m almost always on 1 bar. You’ve gone from being the best signal in the area to probably the worst.

  • ZachcloseYT
    zach close YT (@ZachcloseYT) reported

    Because of you @ScottishPower virgin media went down don't turn our power off again without letting us know you have to give people notice

  • ArgyriM
    RM argyrim.bluesky.social (@ArgyriM) reported

    @Lulette5772 @virginmedia Very bad @virginmedia The opposite of customer centric (customer abusive ?)

  • GPRO2023
    Gareth (@GPRO2023) reported

    @virginmedia I want a call from a manager ASAP as I am sick of all your empty promises and poor customer journey. I've been trying to get this resolved the past 3 weeks!!!

  • oisoli
    Soli (@oisoli) reported

    @virginmedia we are getting no internet and the app says it’s our kits connection but that is all good and still won’t work after following your steps? Any help or updates?
