Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

-
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.
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, EnglandYe 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.
-
Nic Johnston 🇺🇦🌻 (@Nicola_Johnston) reported from Mitford, England@virginmedia come on. You just have a good idea from the outage earlier today how long this is going to take. I’m trying to WFH with Covid. @bt_uk how long does it take to switch providers?
-
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
-
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.

-
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.).

safcpete 🇬🇧🏴 (@safcpete67) reported@y_alibhai @virginmedia The arrogance. You don’t get preferential treatment Yasmine due to your ‘awards’. Btw If you agree with SM ban for kids meaning we will all have to sign in to access SM then get used to this.

Daviad Lee (@DeliJoJ82464825) reportedTired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_ultra_IPTV6 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies
-
A.Brown (@_DundeePerfect_) reported@paulveness1974 @virginmedia I think that many peoples problems stem from using wifi, everything I have connected to the Internet, TVs and PC are hard wired, i never have a problem. I remember I used the Smart TV features once, never used it since, I press somethings it's instant not sat waiting to load.
-
Julybird (@Julybird) reported@y_alibhai @virginmedia Change your internet provider. Or ring their cancellation number and they'll likely push heaven and earth to help you then. If they don't, definitely change. I was with them years ago, absolute rubbish of a service.
-
Charlotte 🦄🧚♀️ (@char_bone) reported@DiBrander We left Virgin Media because they were awful at fixing issues. We had a fault go on for over a month but no compensation because you have to have full service loss. It was over £90 a month too.
-
Paul ▶️ (@customerchamp1) reportedWho remembers when @O2 customer service was good? Since the merger with the appalling @virginmedia it's been absolutely diabolical. Trying to help a vulnerable relative, been on hold for 45 minutes 🤮🤮🤮 to reset his password. Shameful.
-
Frazzz (@FrazzzYT) reported@virginmedia Consistently says "intermittent signal in your area" This has literally been going on for around a week now. And seems to coicide when there is a little tiny bit or rain...
-
Urban Groove (@Urban__Groove) reported@virginmedia I f***** HATE virgin media, i cant wait till my contract ends with you, Causing me stress by giving other 02 permission to set up a direct debit when i never instructed you too! BASTARDS! 😡
-
AngMacca (@AngMacca) reported@virginmedia hi, our internet has been intermittent since 30th May (ML2), with resolution dates moving back repeatedly. Can you advise on a ACTUAL date from which we will resume 100% service?

Mark Skid (@YeshuaFoxtrot) reporteddoes anyone else have issues with @virginmedia broadband whenever theres a slight heatwave 🤔
