  • DJLKP 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...

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Why can't you just deal with by dm and resolve the issue

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No customer service just ignore customers

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Excuses excuses but no resolution how long will it take 2 days since incident raised and waiting for contact back as instructed why would I waste my day calling incompetent people when someone is trying allegedly to sort it Same old crap customer service

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Customer service non existant

  • SimonBewick Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

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

    @virginmedia Can I win a TV service that works (Thursday 2nd Dec it's been off since) , or internet with no huge drop outs please? Or a link that works to fix anything. #AllIWantForChristmasistheserviceipayfor

  • Chickawacka Phil Byrne (@Chickawacka) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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

  • Neil_Rivelino Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia my V6 boxes have stopped communicating with each other (in reality downstairs is talking to upstairs but not vice-verse). Anyone who can help?

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia There is no webmail to log on says try later - for 5 weeks Absolute shocking service

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Okay so why was I told it would be coming by post in 5 working days and why have I still not had a call from an engineer? Kind of my main issues and you can't blame Yodel for them!!

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

  • chriswadehome Chris Wade (@chriswadehome) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia how do I manage the devices registered to the virgin tv go app. Online help not any help

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

    @virginmedia Still down now, can work from Catch Up or my recordings, but nothing live as there are no channels. Drop outs in WiFi too. Not great.

  • Deggsytweets Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England

    @BurnleyJo @virginmedia Yea they’ve got issues with certain channels

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia After speaking to yet another member who stated they couldn’t do anything about it, I said I was going to cancel so I was transferred. The guy I spoke to was for once someone I could understand, he was able to sort my issue out in 10 minutes after being on the phone for 1 hour

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

    @virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

  • sarah_pips Sarah Phillips (@sarah_pips) reported

    @virginmedia Any chance someone could call me instead to save me waiting for another hour and a half to then give up and hang up?

  • GlenSimms1974 Glen Simms (@GlenSimms1974) reported

    @virginmedia Plus what about the bill whilst no service in place?

  • AbbieKoo_ Abbie Koo (@AbbieKoo_) reported

    @virginmedia Yes and apparently there isn’t any issue, I’ve tried everything I could literally do. I wouldn’t be complaining but it’s really affecting me working from home and I just want it fixing

  • Stephen40825524 Stevo 1975 (@Stephen40825524) reported

    @virginmedia I was looking help to downgrade my package and kept getting cut off on the livechat even though i was on hold for 4 hrs the first time and 3 hrs the 2nd time. Will i have to actually phone yourselves to arrange this ?

  • shiels1992 Niall Shiels™ (@shiels1992) reported

    @burto9 @virginmedia I raised one on the 18th november and still waiting on a callback, everytime i get through to customer service they place me on hold and then the phone disconnects, pretty convenient

  • OgaSamuel Samuel Williams (@OgaSamuel) reported

    @virginmedia My problem isn’t the speed. It’s having a consistent connection. It keeps going down at random moments. Who do I talk to, to cancel?

  • AimiMcNeill Aimi McNeill (@AimiMcNeill) reported

    Hi @virginmedia can you explain what's going on with the service in sk9? It's been down multiple times a day, for significant periods, all week which is making wfh impossible. Please advise on what's going on and how we will be compensated. Thx. @Ifindoubtaskrod

  • Phil_t1983 p (@Phil_t1983) reported

    @virginmedia Yet I am still being charged £40 a month! I accept the occasional issue, a few hours up/down but this has been going on every day for 13 days now and it's expected to go on another 3 days. it was due to be fixed on the 9th which was several days before it was put back to the 9th

  • JTG_Gadget John Gooch (@JTG_Gadget) reported

    @virginmedia You are missing the point. We have had the issue in our village for weeks now and you are getting really bad publicity - in a time when people are told by the government to work at home, it’s really not fair.

  • jmarshplays1 jmarsh (@jmarshplays1) reported

    So my first experience of @virginmedia in my first home was terrible and I will probably be cancelling... Randomly cancel my hardware order and give me NO date to reschedule meaning I'm now completely without internet and have no idea when I'll get it. Good first impression!
