    @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

    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

    @virginmedia Just realised this is the first post in a year!! Had your broadband gone down?

  • 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

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

    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!)

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

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

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

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

    Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia still no reply. Have asked 3 times how 2 claim back for our additional browsing fees incurred due 2 #VirginMedia’s incompetence & are ghosted by your ‘customer resolve agent’. great when we spoke to her, was clearly pacifying.Happy to name her & share her email here?

  • ScottN1504
    Scott Noble (@ScottN1504) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Has anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible

  • 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.).

  • Andymorris74
    Andrew Morris💙 (@Andymorris74) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia Your whole system is down! No access to telephone No access to broadband No access to website No access to status checker What’s going on???

    Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!

    @virginmedia @gblondon1 Good luck with that….!!! I did the same 18 months ago… after 4 months of Virgin messing up my bills I moved back to @skytv The call centres are simply the worst I’ve ever encountered A much better service imo…

    @gblondon1 @skytv Asked Virgin Media what options do I have for having their TV service in different parts of the house without running cables through my home...they offered me a firestick!

  • mochara57
    Máire 🇮🇪 (@mochara57) reported

    @griptmedia @Ireland2020 On Virgin Media’s Tonight Show, I watched the host squirm & desperately try to silence Ben Scallan the moment he had the audacity to mention beheadings, you know, actual brutal realities happening on our streets. Classic MSM playbook, when the truth crashes the narrative, just deflect, disrupt & desperately compare apples to oranges. State-funded media has never looked more fragile, pathetic & exposed. 🇮🇪

    @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.
