    @virginmedia Customer service non existant

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  • DJLKP 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.

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Okay so why was I told it would be coming by post in 5 working days and why have I still not had a call from an engineer? Kind of my main issues and you can't blame Yodel for them!!

  • Look_North 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.

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia There is no webmail to log on says try later - for 5 weeks Absolute shocking service

  • SimonBewick Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Excuses excuses but no resolution how long will it take 2 days since incident raised and waiting for contact back as instructed why would I waste my day calling incompetent people when someone is trying allegedly to sort it Same old crap customer service

  • chriswadehome Chris Wade (@chriswadehome) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia how do I manage the devices registered to the virgin tv go app. Online help not any help

  • Chickawacka Phil Byrne (@Chickawacka) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Can I win a TV service that works (Thursday 2nd Dec it's been off since) , or internet with no huge drop outs please? Or a link that works to fix anything. #AllIWantForChristmasistheserviceipayfor

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

    @virginmedia That there is a known problem in the postcode area that's being worked on. It came back for a couple of hours and has just gone off again. 🤬

  • Real__Robbie Robbie Robertson (@Real__Robbie) reported

    @virginmedia you have suspended my account, but I don't know why. Can you please give me some contact details, so I can get in touch. I'm trying to do everything online on my phone, and it is very slow.

  • Pillar_Citizen Pillar_Citizen 😷 (@Pillar_Citizen) reported

    @SkyHelpIreland I DM’ed VirginMedia Ciara. Sky’s sorry rip-off, slow *** is down the road.

  • Stevo0192 Stevo (@Stevo0192) reported

    @virginmedia Service line status says no issue in the area, next door having same issue. Router reset but no improvement, has to be a problem! Let’s hope it’s back for work tomorrow.

  • GillW1220 Gill White (@GillW1220) reported

    @alison_drysdale @virginmedia Are you in Medway or Kent? Quite a few of us seem to have the same issue

  • temporalfear McBride (@temporalfear) reported

    @virginmedia Hi TW, says the outage has been fixed (using the area checker) yet mine still doesn’t work.

  • Austinvanquish Chris Rowe (@Austinvanquish) reported

    @virginmedia Internet keeps disconnecting and reconnecting intermittently.has for the last 2 days now. Everytime I check online it says no issues detected in area

  • RyanLeeEditor Ryan Lee (@RyanLeeEditor) reported

    @virginmedia The device not working in question is your Superhub 3.

  • spenowen Spencer Owen (@spenowen) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not as he’s not on Twitter. Do you have any other suggestions? Is there a customer services email address he can email requesting a change from the old email address to his current one? Strangely I think his bills get emailed to his current email

  • GillW1220 Gill White (@GillW1220) reported

    @trevorfox @virginmedia This seems to be a Medway problem, you are not the only one. Virgin replied to someone else that they were aware of the issue , maybe they’ll get round to fixing it
