    3rd dayin a row on hold to @virginmedia to cancel my TV package and again its over 45mins no answer. Shocking customer service like.

  • 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.).

  • 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.

    @virginmedia can you help with my phone services not currently working

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Horrific customer service

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

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

  • DJLKP

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now

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

    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

  • PatternThimble
    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.

  • goodridgehelen
    Helen Goodridge (@goodridgehelen) reported

    @liamgallagher Bloody Virgin Media packed up at 4.30. Had family coming over. Said it wouldn’t be back until midnight. Can you believe it. Watched on daughter’s phone 4G. Buffing and 6 mins behind. Poor for virgin media.

  • YeshuaFoxtrot

    does anyone else have issues with @virginmedia broadband whenever theres a slight heatwave 🤔

  • Some_Nick1976
    Some-Nick1976 (@Some_Nick1976) reported

    @virginmedia The issue is that it drops in and out constantly throughout these times. When it does eventually come back on it is very slow

  • Mod71
    Mod71 (@Mod71) reported

    @virginmedia What is going on with your service. TV is poor quality and signal is terrible.

  • duranie1000
    MeddazzaDuranie (@duranie1000) reported

    @virginmedia had no service for a week. Engineer due today between 1-4. Now been told they won’t arrive until 7.45pm?? How is that acceptable?

  • DanStev14730264
    Dan Stevens (@DanStev14730264) reported

    @virginmedia @LadyLucia05 Can you please advise what and how you are going to compensate. We have been waiting 3 days already and then you have the cheek to say we'll have no service until the 10th of July. Please respond asap. This is outrageous

  • DrKeresaspa
    Dr Keresaspa 🦉🍉 🇵🇸 (@DrKeresaspa) reported

    @virginmedia Installed 360. What genius decided all the channels I'm not subscribed to will appear as blank screens when I'm channel hopping and how do I make it stop? If that's a deliberate design feature it's awful.

  • MahmutTor
    Mahmut Tör (@MahmutTor) reported

    Dear @virginmedia and @ThreeUK One of you cut our broadband service, the other one doesn’t provide mobile signal even though we pay both of you. could you supply some pigeons please?

  • Nicky_P_Smalley
    Nicky P. Smalley (@Nicky_P_Smalley) reported

    @virginmedia It’s been nearly 2 weeks now. Drop ops/low speeds are still continuing in s63. I keep getting texts saying you’ve identified the problem and sending someone out, but all that happens is you change date of when it’ll be fixed, but fix it you have not!
