  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Let me ask, so you know how long the line is to speak to technical support? Have you tried using the text service and online chat? I have all at the same time and after 8 days I still hadn't spoke with anyone, you are unable to support your services

  • stephbreckon Stephanie Breckon (@stephbreckon) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia there appears to be a problem with my wifi, I wouldn’t normally care but I’m working from home and have an online class at 3pm

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia can you advise the next time I will be able to receive your broadband for a period of 24 hours or more without it going down? #StayConnected #IfYouCan

  • Divadi29 Dianne Wilson (@Divadi29) reported from Billingham, England

    @virginmedia Both, i currently have to work from home and my internet crashes all the time. i can’t get a signal in my bedroom which is the room directly above the box

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🌲🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia hi, any help on a non responsive remote to vbox? It is flashing red when I press buttons bit nothing happening on box. Only started happening tonight

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    Not a lover of call centres and thought that they didn't really offer any customer service of any real value, then you have the likes of @virginmedia and @Hermesparcels that seem to want to upset customers. That said, credit to @NespressoUK, was blown away with your service

  • GazzaG1 Gary Ayre (@GazzaG1) reported from Blackhall Colliery, England

    @virginmedia WiFi signal from hub3 is unreliable and I am by only in a1 bedroom bungalow, I never use the tvbox as all channels are rubbish and my mobile signal is disgraceful-virgin is worse decision i have ever made

  • Poddddddd Jamie Gilbey (@Poddddddd) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia can I access some support on here?

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia No errors, never is, yet everyday at least once my net goes off, normally for 10 minutes sometimes for up to 4 or 5 hours, cant remember last time I made it 24 hours with no down time

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia I rang after the email and they assured me they have applied a discount and would stay the same price for my contract. I agreed a fix price and if that's not what I got then I have been lied too, which is a miss sale and the ombudsman will be contacted, again.

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🌲Santa Doom🌲🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    . @NOWTV @nowtvhelp any idea on how to stop the intermittent blue screen when playing back any on demand video or TV channels? Got an older now TV smart box. It's wired connection into a 300mbps virgin media hub so no issues.on playback speed.

  • Divadi29 Dianne Wilson (@Divadi29) reported from Billingham, England

    @virginmedia i was asked to upgrade as a valued customer, since upgrading my broadband is terrible we are all using 4g at home as connection is so poor. i have done all testing as directed from comp voice on phone and link sent to mobile. i pay for 3 virgin mobiles one now has no data

  • RobertTamkin94 Robert-Andrew Tamkin (@RobertTamkin94) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to contact your call centre for 15 minutes and I’ve tried all the options and I can’t get through to ANYONE!! I want to cancel my contract and it doesn’t give you the option online to do so!! Can someone cancel it from your social media team?

  • gaussey 𝗠𝙞𝖼𝗵𝖺𝙚𝗅 𓆤 (@gaussey) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia No, everything is fine thanks, the outage only lasted two hours.

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Yes I'm aware, they have just hung up on me again after an hour without even a real person, 6 times now and thats why I was asking for @richardbranson number, your sales guys don't seem to have any issues calling me though #JustSaying

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia seriously, a price increase?! Only renewed my contract 2 months ago and for more than I've ever paid! Of course, no customer service available either. Ridiculous!

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @NathHawkeswood @virginmedia Twitter cant help, phoning cant speak to anyone, text service in an endless loop, chat service online is also an endless loop I need to speak with line faults and they aren't even an option on the automated phone service so I'm really screwed

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @KEESH1984 @virginmedia 8 days of that, we not heard fro you for a while youbstill need to speak to someone? OK let's start the whole thing again Chuffing useless, what they offer is not customer service its hope it fixes itself before anyone notices or leaves

  • gaussey 𝗠𝙞𝖼𝗵𝖺𝙚𝗅 𓆤 (@gaussey) reported from Redcar, England

    @FoolRare @virginmedia Thanks, service status is down and wondered if it was just my hub dying.

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @AhDeluxe @virginmedia Was it the 10 minute off or the 4/5 hour cut? Never anything inbetween in my experience

  • mrbrady72 Ken Adams ⛰️ (@mrbrady72) reported

    @skytv @skyhelpteam I have no issue with your service. I like the flexibility of being able to watch TV in multiple rooms in my home (something that @virginmedia can't, or won't do) but this disingenuous marketing campaign to get £5 off has opened up a whole can of worms. (8/9)

  • atombombbaby420 WittyTwart (@atombombbaby420) reported

    @virginmedia So see you in court or waste years trying to track me down... Your call but it'd be in your best interest to just close the account & write any debt off now coz whatever you do its just gonna keep costing you $ & you ain't ever getting anything from me!!!

  • Ebenezer68 Gareth Ebenezer 💙 (@Ebenezer68) reported

    @virginmedia I have spoken to numerous different teams in recent days - no one has contacted me for an update or to advise me of any issues, & nobody has taken ownership of the problem. Why should I have to chase continually? Very poor first impressions.

  • Martinf76606790 Martin fuller (@Martinf76606790) reported

    @virginmedia It’s was ordered 6 weeks ago I rang virgin media was then told it was never ordered and I am not allowed one I am m500 then I was told you can only have one if your on GIG 1

  • visho___ Vish Sahnan (@visho___) reported

    @virginmedia Not surprised! Just get him to call me and stop all this nonsense- how’s that for an idea! There’s clearly an issue as I’m STILL going on about it - yet you lot are hell bent on emails, forms, sending people@out to do an install!

  • AlliDeasy Alli Deasy (@AlliDeasy) reported

    @virginmedia can you confirm if there is n issue in the swords area ?

  • penny62132920 Lorraine Glover (@penny62132920) reported from Strines, England

    @virginmedia no service in sk6 8bt can you help

  • OfficialRUSHY Ryan (@OfficialRUSHY) reported

    Turns out they charge a rediculous amount for calls during the week! It took ages to try and resolve the issue, their customer service was very poor! They forgot to mention all their charges! I would not recommend joing virgin media if you are thinking about doing so.

  • Carl0sAlbert0 Duke Silver (@Carl0sAlbert0) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for this, not really helpful though. We just get an incessant number of calls from automated services, always hang up. Have registered with TPS but it's not stopping them. Wondered if you guys have any services/equipment for blocking? Besides getting rid of landline?

  • laineymacd Elaine MacDonald (@laineymacd) reported

    @virginmedia 4. Specifically asked for service to be activated on the 6th of April. Realised half way through the call this had been changed to the the 9th of March. He assured me this was fixed. It was confirmed later it wasn’t.
