    Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    “You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

  • 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.).

    @virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England

    @virginmedia The signal struggles to get to each room in the house. My son complains as he games. No chance of streaming music in the bathroom. It isn't a big house either. The deal I'm on currently was negotiated when I spoke to disconnection team rather than intro offer.

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

    @virginmedia 13 hours until you notify by text that something is wrong…communication quite crap isn’t it. Now told not fixed until 0200

  • Poddys_bu1
    Tony Payne (Main Account) (@Poddys_bu1) reported

    @CheekyVic @virginmedia It's almost impossible to get through to an English call centre, the Indians never have a clue what we actually want. Moved on now and our local provider, Toob is really good.

  • KevCrane41
    Kev Crane (@KevCrane41) reported

    @BonesE78 @virginmedia I have the same reply, I've sent them a dozen messages, including photos and videos of the streaming box not working but my Alexa still able to say date and time. Not interested, just saying I have to call them from my landline, I don't have one. The service is pathetic.

  • ExpanseCon
    Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported

    @MartinXTweets @VodafoneIreland Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.

    @MelJanie @virginmedia I’ve just left virgin media. Their customer service is abysmal

  • andyspin
    andy spinoza (@andyspin) reported

    @virginmedia Hi we’ve been plagued by problems since you introduced the new box /software. Now it’s not showing ANY Tv! Totally shocking service. been waiting for 40 mins on the phone line. Your diagnostics show no issues but we have NO Tv- our lives taken over rebooting. Rubbish

  • stephenm68
    Stephen Maddock (@stephenm68) reported

    @alan_reddish @virginmedia Day 34 here. And no proper answers such as whether any engineers have actually been out to try to fix things. Just stock answers from the @virginmedia script.

  • declancarty
    Declan Carty (@declancarty) reported

    @IrishTimes Perhaps someone like the excellent Patrick Freyne might investigate why, after all these YEARS, Sky subscribers in the ROI cannot get ITV channels, whilst Virgin Media customers have no probs in doing so. Is it still supposed to be a ‘rights’ issue ????
