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.).

Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error.

W. W. L. D. ? He'd stay at home. (@RobLow_7) reported from Sacriston, England@OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandTime for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

Old Motherduck (@Old_Motherduck) reported@virginmedia @JonStone101 no we've had this before many times, only when you threaten to leave do you get transferred to someone who speaks english, they obviously get paid more to snag a customer than the english speaking
-
CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reportedWhat now? @VirginMedia? I have tried to sign into my account to claim the reimbursement from not having the products you charge from dad. He should be getting a hefty rebate. Yet, you now can't sign me into the account because it's not connected to O2. So I tried that and you've blocked me because I have used the email to sign in too much. The email that is connected to the account. Then the phone number too much. If you don't fix this before I call you in the next twenty-four hours I'll take this to the courts which you have your bots saying people can't. Get me to let me sign in.
-
nikky linnane (@NLinnane) reportedIs Elaine Burke the only tech expert available in Ireland for tv ? She's never off virgin media and now she's on rte news. It would be great if we could have other view points not just one because they are connected to the right people.

Gary Broadbent (@garyb007) reported@lennylaw @virginmedia There's an exception to every rule. Usually they're crap. Certainly the worst company I've ever had the misfortune to deal with.
