  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • 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!)

  • 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 ?

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    **** off Virgin Media, useless bollocks

  • 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.).

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • KarCFar ✨✨Karen✨✨ (@KarCFar) reported

    @virginmedia I need to cancel a Sky Cinema add on, on a account how do I do this?

  • DogDiogenes Carlos (@DogDiogenes) reported

    @virginmedia I’ll give it a go, thanks KF! I trust cancellation will be free due to poor service, I won’t run into any pesky charges for contract obligations etc.?

  • madiehzl Karen (@madiehzl) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve done this 11 times in the past week and either I can’t get through to a human - only an automated voice or the person on the other end can’t help and promises a manager will call me back and doesn’t 3 TIMES since Monday.

  • Floofcx -Azur - (@Floofcx) reported

    @virginmedia Hi ,full post code is SE1 5UY, I've been doing the hub test stuff on the site and it has been saying there are no issues in my area,there are a few people I know having same issue,who all got texted last Thursday saying there is a infustructure upgrade that was ment to last a day

  • LittleRachhy Rachel.. (@LittleRachhy) reported

    @virginmedia Well that's great isn't it. Broadband isn't working, your text update service isn't working and now your service issues page isn't working and I'm out of work for the 3rd day but it's okay cause theres a number I can ring 🙄

  • madiehzl Karen (@madiehzl) reported

    @virginmedia I have tried all of those and I get nowhere if you read the conversation we have just had. This service is unacceptable. How can two people hang up on me and three managers fail to ring me back and you say there’s nothing you can do and just point me back to the same channels?

  • madiehzl Karen (@madiehzl) reported

    @virginmedia That’s ridiculous. I want to speak to someone on the phone, a manager to ring me back when they said they would - not write and post another complaint that will be ignored.

  • ianmsaunders Ian Saunders (@ianmsaunders) reported

    @virginmedia any issues in Manchester M14? All devices in the house have just dropped connection.

  • Electriksoda Ryan (@Electriksoda) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently no issues. I'm mostly just glad you liked my joke

  • living_cheerful 'Big Al' 🇺🇦 (@living_cheerful) reported

    @virginmedia It's just our house affected, the cable is to be replaced to our property. If we are not happy? Have you read anything is written? Too right a complaint is coming, but judging on the rest of our experience with you, this will be unanswered and disappointing too.
