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

    @virginmedia broadband down??? Ne34????

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

    @gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)

  • liamsholder91 🇺🇦liam sholder #ISTANDWITHUKRAINE🇺🇦 (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia why is my internet not working ne4 8qh please sort it 🙏

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

    A week of no issues after a month of next to no tv and now it starts all over again. I have sound and the guide but just a black screen on every channel. So glad my contract is up, deffo going to be leaving this time. Waste of time and money!!!!! @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.).

  • Wathey Shaun Wathey (@Wathey) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia how do I make a complaint?

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

    @virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.

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

    @virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

  • hylt64 Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

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

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

  • 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

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

    Ye 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.

  • gazza_d 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.

  • geordievillan1 The Geordie Villan (@geordievillan1) reported from South Shields, England

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

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

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

    Ain't happy with @virginmedia cancelled the TV months ago and yous are still charging me for it only just noticed just checking on the bill online now this isn't the first its the second wtf man really i have phone and broadband I'm want out keep the money you've taken 🤬

  • Ne31phil Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia please advise Reduced mobile signal in the NE31 area. The signals were fine until a couple of months ago. previously had 4g I now mainly get E or sometimes 3G this is an issue due to my elderly mother-in-law being in hospital and now very poor signal in their home

  • 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 any chance you could fix virgintvgo for the Premier Sports 1 channel. It’s stuck on the wrong game.

  • pabloesc2021 Pablo (@pabloesc2021) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve just ordered internet from @skytv now. I will be calling to cancel my package soon

  • witchyisbak Dude I found witchy💚🤍💜 🟥 (@witchyisbak) reported

    @virginmedia Actually it appears the problem I contacted u about hasn't fully resolved. Intermittent service on both tivo and broadband. I darent ring customer services again. And I'm still waiting for the technician to ring ur call handler promised

  • xGrumpyWolfx Grumpy Wolf (@xGrumpyWolfx) reported

    @virginmedia Fix your ******* internet pls m8 xx

  • David_W11 David (@David_W11) reported

    @virginmedia Plus they said the online deals are not open to us as existing customers. Pretty poor experience compared to Sky who we previously used. Currently wish we had just cancelled our contract at the end rather than transferring to a new property.

  • Yippers Amy (@Yippers) reported from Bristol, England

    @virginmedia Email to say it was resolved by offer of an apology which I never accepted so I called customer services who offered the credit of overpayment onto my account which I’m still waiting for.

  • ReiDoMUFC Juan United (@ReiDoMUFC) reported

    Switched to data whilst at home just to tweet @virginmedia, you are shite 👍 (And not there is nothing you can do to help, pls don't @ me, I'm already angry)

  • banterdan Harry (@banterdan) reported

    @virginmedia I half expect a weaker signal upstairs in the far bedroom but not in the next room from the hub. Anyways this booster will do me for now seems to give me a stable strong signal in the kitchen. When working now

  • Hollib0bz H (@Hollib0bz) reported

    @virginmedia Yes we did and it said everything was fine and no known issues. Two days running now this has happened.

  • the_ex_tuft James Doherty (@the_ex_tuft) reported

    @virginmedia You are an absolute joke to deal with. Finally got through to an actual person, booked an engineer for Saturday, YOU then offered to bring it forward, I said yes, changed all my plans, then at 8pm the night before you change it back to the original slot. This how you treat ppl?😡
