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, 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.
-
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

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
-
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.

Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Mitford, England@virginmedia Ridiculous service from your team in Manilla.

-
LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

-
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.).

-
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.

Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England@virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

Chris Pitcher (@chrisjug) reported@virginmedia @carefreeleon PPV is down for everyone
-
Sean Pearson (@soapyrct) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia I would rather have no Internet or TV than go with Virgin! Probably the worst company in the UK (and India) but hope you get no issues!
-
Edward Hamilton (@epwhamilton) reported@virginmedia I'm aware that that's what it shows, however one of your agents has told me that there is a network issue and no information is being communicated nor is it being acknowledged on the website. To say it is my equipment is disingenuous
-
Bэccaaaa (@Beccaaaa_x_) reported@debbierowe1 @virginmedia My tv just went black and now not working
-
Rosie (@RosieLastOf6) reported@virginmedia I’ve had to get my neighbour in to check everything for me, I have mobility issues. Seems to be ok now.
-
Way Of The Hunter 🏴 (@ACaldwell68074) reported@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.
-
Gavin Lee (@Gav288) reported@virginmedia We moved house 29th May and took our contract with us. Nearly 2 weeks later and we still have no TV services. Spent over 8 hours on the phone since we moved, been told it’s an IT issue but still not resolved. Is the IT guy on holiday?
-
Rob Jones (@robhjones) reported@virginmedia I’ve only used iplayer since changing but it’s impossible to watch anything so there’s obviously some connection problem and extremely annoying as its in the evening when we watch
-
Martinius (@Naish2Martin) reported@gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia I hope for your sake that you don’t get technical issues with Virgin. I changed to them twice from Sky, they were awful !
-
Charmaine Rome (@eightieschick72) reported@virginmedia @epwhamilton @virginmedia Same issue here. Took 1 hour on the phone to Virgin to be told there’s an outage. No comment about it on your website. And no idea when it’s being fixed. Moved from BT 3 weeks ago for more reliable internet. Not impressed at all.
