  • 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.

  • KiddEdan Edan Kidd (@KiddEdan) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia two nights in a row the internet goes down, yous are a bag of shite

  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    **** off Virgin Media, useless bollocks

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I did the online thing before contacting u it says needs a tech . But it doesnt it needs your outage fixed .

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia But do you understand that this is a problem in my area you were aware of ! Said it would be fixed but it hasen't ? It just needs reporting i don't need a tech to my house i beed it to the area

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

    @virginmedia why is phone network not working and plus can't phone people or text tryed restarting phone still. Nothing can't even ring you guys WTAF

  • 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.

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I would like to know how my broadband and tv are still broken after the outage ? It saying theres a connection issue on both broadband and tv . Tv error c139 ...i dont understand why my fault cant be logged as the origanal not being fixed

  • 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

    @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!)

  • 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.

  • 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.).

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

    @virginmedia can you help me please everytime I try to log in the virgin media app on my mobile account it's logs me off all the time why ?

  • 33_e_44 Emma_975 (@33_e_44) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I'm moving home & would like to become a customer but you're making it VERY difficult for me. I could only select an installation date of one month away but wanted to select a month and 2 days. The chat on your website is with a bot not a human... contd

  • danbobnix Daniel Nixon (@danbobnix) reported

    @virginmedia hi, I'm trying to set up my account but seem to be a verification email behind- every time I try to verify my email after receiving a verification I'm asked to resend it but constantly told the one I'm clicking is out of date. Please can you help?

  • stueywhite Stuart White (@stueywhite) reported

    @virginmedia Exactly so why are you sending emails! Also I am still waiting for the box to return the box when the service ends at the end of the month

  • matt0834 matt (@matt0834) reported

    @virginmedia And how dare you say non payment can you not read? You are taking the money but have shut the sim down. Scum

  • BarallaStefano Stefano Baralla (@BarallaStefano) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, I checked and there is an issue in this area. The problem is that there are issues almost every day. How can I book a technician to come in?

  • 33_e_44 Emma_975 (@33_e_44) reported

    @virginmedia contd... not the installation address as obviously I don't want the current owners of the property to receive my post. Can someone help?

  • marylynn1949 Mary Lynn (@marylynn1949) reported

    @virginmedia I cancelled my broadband contract by phone yesterday, your agent has confirmed the date of termination of service, and said I would receive a confirmation email within 4 hours. I have not received this. Please do not tell me to look in my junk mail. I already have.

  • dmcd26 dan Mc (@dmcd26) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, no need thanks, I’ve spent countless hours going through online help to no avail. Need to speak to someone or have an engineer visit. I’ll just cancel package and go back to sky.

  • dlpark337 Damien Levi Park 🏳️‍⚧️ (@dlpark337) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, my contract was different to what I signed up for and I didn’t realise until down the line when speeds + cost weren’t as expected because you don’t expect your provider to just change the contract after you sign a precontract for a certain amount in store.

  • 33_e_44 Emma_975 (@33_e_44) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia contd... and the Whatsapp bot Moving home option assumed I was already a customer. Is there no way to have a chat conversation with a human? I don't want to hang on the phone for ages. Also I would like the correspondence and box sent to my current address... contd
