    @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.

    What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

    @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.

    @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

    @virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I know my line is spoofed, when an incoming call from a foreign country is giving out I’m not wrong number as I’m being spoofed I am technically aware of this I used to provide support for a very large telecommunications company

  • VictoriaBarry82

  • Stevedey
    Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported from Newburn, England

    @GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

  • Corney77
    Paul Corney (@Corney77) reported from Choppington, England

    @virginmedia 57 mins on a call to be hung up on. Services don’t work correctly and haven’t since Oct. Looking to cancel and no one helping. Disgusting service

    @virginmedia OK, leaving aside the fact it seems pretty poor that I haven't had a reply from the original agent for four days now I'm happy enough to send a repeat of it IF I don't need to faff about going through security yet AGAIN? IF I do-I'll just wait for a reply to the original DMs. OK?

  • giltbrookpie
    Giltbrook Pie (@giltbrookpie) reported

    Anyone having issues with Virgin Media TV in the NG16 area? Broadband fine, TV nothing working.

  • amcgrath1uk
    Asa McGrath (@amcgrath1uk) reported

    @virginmedia I know that there’s an issue in the area. It went early this morning. I’ve seen the spike of reports. I’ve seen the bot say it’s gonna get fixed. Then the bot is saying the issue is with our box. Even though I know there’s tons in the area still having issues. Basically, it lies

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    Day EIGHT of my complete broadband outage with @virginmedia 😡 However there IS hope. Today an engineer from them is supposed to be arriving-so trying to be positive What a complete nightmare of an experience this has been, so I'm REALLY hoping this will be the turning point🤞

  • Andybedfordblue
    Andy Sexton (@Andybedfordblue) reported

    @BigPaul91 @virginmedia Part of the reason I have just left along with shocking customer service trying to speak to people who don’t even speak English.

  • Phil197881
    YorkshireB'stard (@Phil197881) reported

    @TheGriftReport I have the same problem with Virgin media, their call centre is in India and more than once I've just rung off after not understanding what the guy said.

  • gibbodive
    Gibbodive (@gibbodive) reported

    @entrustTMF @virginmedia BT are woeful too. Over 20 years of misery at 2 different premises. Starlink now - exceptional in every way except for one 3hr occasion with a world wide outage. AMZN also getting into satellite broadband soon. US extreme tech beating UK cables buried in the ground !

  • evon67
    Tillymint67 (@evon67) reported

    @virginmedia my media box is not showing the app icons. Is the a problem in WA7 uk area 20

  • Deano01973
    Dean Hazell (@Deano01973) reported

    @EE do you offer broadband and TV similar to @virginmedia? I am looking to move away from Virgin as they have charged me a late payment fee which was down to an error they made.

  • lynne_devlin
    Lynne Devlin (@lynne_devlin) reported

    @virginmedia Absolutely appalled at the incompetent awful level of service. Over 3 hours on live chat trying to sort out my 96 year old grandmother contract as you are trying to charge her an obscene amount of money and I am no further forward.
