Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!
-
Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandWhat 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.
-
Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England@virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?

David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia I’ve tried to use the add-on service as being a broadband customer I’m able to download to the O2 app however I cannot sign in as I do not have a mobile number and it will not accept my landline, can you help
-
Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

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!!
-
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
-
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.
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

FootballCricketMad (@fcmad1960) reported@virginmedia Hi there, my problems are still unresolved and even your "Resolutions" team is blanking me. I need confirmation that we're at the end of the road so I can go to the regulator. How can I get this pls?
-
Shady Shaw (@shadeyshaw) reported@Benleo I think these big comp that operate in the uk should be banned from using overseas call centres,I left virgin because their customer service was atrocious joined youfibre only to find out they have been bought out by virgin media and now I’m sure they use the same call centres.
-
AxiomLunc (@AxiomLunc) reported@Benleo @virginmedia @Benleo Put a complaint into the Ombudsman, O2 and Virginmedia do this all the time, i had a friend who cancelled his O2 contract after working for the company, never had issues with fraud etc, then magically after leaving, he had over £1000 fraud on his account.
-
Geoff Jones (@geoffjones7) reported@Benleo @virginmedia I was a service engineer for many years for Virgin (formally Telewest). You most certainly do not have to renew a contract to get a cable fixed. Also the Indian call centre has been a long-standing issue for their customers. Very poor service
-
Paul (@PaulUtd16) reported@TonyDabell @mark_wootten @virginmedia 100% virgin are absolutely atrocious! Customer service skills of Darth Vader!
-
⭕ Toni Geens 🍍 (bam.zoom) (@hamsterpranks) reportedHey @virginmedia we just took out a new contract with you, had our box fitted on Friday, reprogrammed on Saturday due to an outage. Now we've just gone over 24 hours with no internet or TV yet again and the fix times constantly being pushed back. What's your cancellation period?
-
Ian Lythgoe (@IanLythgoe4) reported@_kerryking_ @AndrewPittman2 @virginmedia Mine has just been fixed if you have a splitter (big white box) check the power plug there should be a green light on it if not thats the problem (which i had) if you dont have a splitter box i aint got a clue
-
Andy Jones (@Andy_wxm) reported@virginmedia Been a customer of yours for 2 months and my broadband keeps dropping out. Have switched off the hub and back on yet the broadband signal is still having the same problems
-
Mia (@LondonMum2025) reported@Benleo @virginmedia I’m having the same issues with them
-
Matthew Kennedy (@badcorpse) reported@Benleo Stay away from Virgin Media and you will be happier for it trust me. Clear someone in an office somewhere has said we can offer **** customer service that costs X from India or good customer service from the UK that costs Y and they have went with X
