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

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

    @virginmedia No help needed, thanks - just praising the deal I was given last night 🙌

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia won't even let me over the automated 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.

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

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.

  • StevieWalls 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

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia trying to pay my Internet bill and its saying all my information is wrong??can you help

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

    @virginmedia I'm definitely filein complaint 15 days without no TV and 2 kids is really hard work its either that or I'll go with someone else

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!

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

    @virginmedia I was told to log into the Myo2 app to change it myself, but I have been sent no login details and of course if the email address is incorrect it won’t be recognised if I try to register. O2 said we would receive texts with updates on number port timeline but had no communication

  • Rainbowztwit Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

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

    @virginmedia basically I can't do anything on the stream box comes up contact customer care I do then I get absolute no were...look I understand everyone has teething problems but this needs sorting ASAP because different when you need the money I ain't paying for something I can't use said

  • CraigSmartUN Craig Smart 💙 (@CraigSmartUN) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Hi spoke to Customer services was told IT would get email sent out to me. 3 days later still no email to verify my email address so I can log into my online account.

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

  • ZicoPete Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia what channels do I need to go down for a stable connection check in my area, two days in a row internet keeps dropping not ideal when working from home. Thanks.

  • CraigSmartUN Craig Smart 💙 (@CraigSmartUN) reported from Gateshead, England

  • DixieJessop Alan Jessop (@DixieJessop) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia Hi there My 92 year old mother in law has been without her landline phone for over a week She has been charged £99 for engineers to visit but not fix it It is linked to a panic alarm as well This is unacceptable?

  • vanessa_sherie vanessa (@vanessa_sherie) reported

    Wtf is going on with my @virginmedia @richardbranson if this ain’t working by the time arsenal kick off at 7:15 I want my £50 back for sky sports package pronto .

  • lpz3 🌈Thoughts Aloud!😷 (@lpz3) reported

    @virginmedia I accessed that using paid for @giffgaff data when your broadband was off in our area for 4th time in 6wks (or less). @Ofcom - is there any scope for auto refunds when a service is not reliable? The 24hr loss of use thing is pointless for us as its off for less - but often!

  • SamStallan Sam Stallan (@SamStallan) reported

    @virginmedia Our home set up was 4 days late arriving and we can't even use it as the engineer date was moved to a week later. I do hope our bills won't start until the service is up and running or I will be cancelling. Oh and the chat service is terrible. No one replies.

  • davidledgard david ledgard (@davidledgard) reported

    @virginmedia I want to complain about the service...... Internet off again ....... why will it take nearly 2 weeks to get back online ???????

  • ItsSinneh ★𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐒★ (@ItsSinneh) reported

    @virginmedia **** you, your shitty WiFi and your joke of a company.

  • nicola_jane98 Nicola (@nicola_jane98) reported

    Virgin Media has the worst WiFi on earth. I think a sting and tin cans work better than their WiFi.

  • charliejhadley Charlie 🧑‍🎤 (she/her) (@charliejhadley) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah, I’ve opened an official complaint but now I’m waiting up to 72h for reconnection despite it being completely your fault. From a data security point of view this is a mind boggling error. What’s even the point of having security on accounts if this can happen?

  • LinseyElliott Linsey Elliott (@LinseyElliott) reported

    @virginmedia @amieerundle @virginmedia u pay to watch live,great you are reshowing it, what's the point in paying £26 to watch it the next day when u can see updates for free.People paid for the full fight, not just the main event.Undercards are just as important.Its a joke,not accepting this poor excuse.

  • MRamsey1974 Martin Ramsey (@MRamsey1974) reported

    @virginmedia Is this for real??! I paid to watch the event live!! If you paid £25 to see a show in the West End and the performance was ruined by technical issues - would they tell you, it was ok for the last song and it’s being performed again tomorrow if you want to watch it again? #refund
