    @virginmedia hey virgin media - when I'm told a final figure on my account and find out the agent lied and gave me a higher figure and then your complaint team tell me not to worry it'll be sorted. My contract finished on 30/3 but you've still taken a full month's payment (1/2)

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

    @virginmedia It's a waste of time tbh, all they do is insist I take the hub out of modem mode and when they do eventually agree you are rubbish and put me through to line faults they either just hang up or the battery on my phone dies

  • LouiseBaldock
    Louise Baldock 💙 (@LouiseBaldock) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    2 calls on landline from Asia, using dummy UK phone numbers, pretending to be from Virgin Media, telling me of a problem with the security of my router. Neither liked it when I told them their mother and father would be deeply ashamed if they knew what their son was doing.

    @virginmedia any chance we'll get reimbursed for the service outage in the TS20 postcode? 2 days we've had a fault

  • simonmp68
    SimonMorrisonPeacock (@simonmp68) reported from Thornaby-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Having a hard time maintaining why I’ve remained so loyal. I’ve been going through a little bad time and ask for help as you publicise only to be treat like a third class citizen. Not happy my problem needs sorting today

  • SiClayton
    Simon Clayton (@SiClayton) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    Hi @O2 @virginmedia have all todays allocated tickets for @peterkay_co_uk been sold for today? Been waiting ages - staring at a white screen…. Communication would really help please?

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

    @virginmedia I wouldn't recommend your media connect app its awful, the booster you sent out does exactly zero, as for blackspots around the house that would be anywhere in the house more than 1.5m from the hub, all the software in the world won't polish the turn you call a superhub

  • Curriepeter1
    Currie.peter (@Curriepeter1) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    Why are virgin media so crap so slow and keeps buffering every day we pay for a service that’s not fit for the purpose

    rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia Thanks, do you have an ETA of when you’re issue will be resolved? Many of us could of purchased this game with a different streaming service if we knew you would be having the same issues with red button as per usual

  • Sarahlw_95
    Sarah-Louise Wilkinson (@Sarahlw_95) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia is it normal practice for your employees to shout at customers down the phone and then hang up?

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

    @virginmedia They can't help either, the real issue, lets be honest, is the fact nobody at Virgin will admit their equipment is awful and not really fit for purpose, the least super thing ever is the superhub 3.0

  • mark770
    Mark Walker (@mark770) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia An area outage with something your end caused my issue (no bband) to flag as being resolved at your end. That was not the case in slightest (still without bband) and the tech appt this morning being cancelled but no notification

  • mark770
    Mark Walker (@mark770) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia JS, have you taken the time to read the thread through? It would appear not as your previous colleague intimated that you would be looking at auto-comp issue when I notified you that the issue had been resolved though you mentioned nothing about that.

    @virginmedia hey hey virgin media wifis down. Your web site says it fixed ????

  • citamo
    Chris #FB #ProEU#Rejoin#BLM#GTTO,NHS 💙 (@citamo) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia @justwearmasks Instead of employing robots in your impossible to contact call centres and ripping of the public for your shareholders, set up a proper system of customer care which is accessible, helpful, considerate and capable of fixing customer problems quickly and competently.

  • AllpointsTV
    AllpointsTV - Jamie (@AllpointsTV) reported from Guisborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes , and it says no issues and then asks to check my equipment , this test says there is an issue with my equipment and I should check again in 24 hours so an engineer can be arranged . This has now been saying check back in an hour for the last two hours

  • beck5ter
    Jason N Beck (@beck5ter) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    Question?? how long before Virgin Media shuts down your email if you leave them?? @VirginMediaCorp

  • Johnsonator85
    Marc J (@Johnsonator85) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Media, I want to cancel

  • Thejollyevfan
    The Jolly EV Fan (now living up in the North) (@Thejollyevfan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia DM me so I can give contact details. Don’t think it would cause a problem but I’d worry about affecting neighbours services or possible future services should we come back to you.

    @virginmedia @LucyW1972 Why is no one dealing with customer service complaints. For one month now I have emailed, messaged called but still your equipment has not been sorted. Paddy Sweeney

  • percesonator
    Mountain Walker 🏔 (@percesonator) reported

    @caz_fizz @MelJanie @virginmedia Virgin media, awful company.

  • O_E_W
    Our Electric World (@O_E_W) reported

    @TheEvEngineer @gigaclear @MartinSLewis I used to get the same with Virgin Media when it was our only option. Simple solution is to swap and change to the cheaper deals. I got an Orbi mesh router a while back. It should help simplify our next swap as it keeps the same network name whatever company we’re with.

  • BurnNotice85
    Burn Notice (@BurnNotice85) reported

    @VirginMediaNews Note to Virgin Media : stop platforming that religious zealot and fantasist - even at the opportunity cost re: a young journalist's tv screen time & professional exposure. He's on his way back to prison when another warrant comes down from the bench, in coming days and weeks.

  • f1blag
    F1blag (@f1blag) reported

    @MelJanie @virginmedia Virgin Media are up there for any worst customer service award! They took 3 weeks to restore our connection, promised us compensation (promises we were able to obtain a recording of), refused to pay that compensation and then fought us every step of the way. Dreadful.

    @virginmedia Not my issue. Read post above.

  • Munro78
    John Munro (@Munro78) reported

    @virginmedia Got an email saying my contract expires soon. Taking my payments from £73.50 to £137.50 - I can’t seem to find any new deals that would bring my payments down to what my original contract was. Unless I become a new member and you charge £49.99. This can’t be right?

  • frankiesmith74
    Frankie Smith (@frankiesmith74) reported

    @virginmedia please can someone phone me urgently to deal with the entirely unacceptable service I am receiving from your home mover team. A failed installation on Wednesday and no engineers turning up yesterday or today despite being promised! I can’t get through on the phone

  • Kiai_Kas
    Karen Barker 🐈 🔭🐝🌹🍅 (@Kiai_Kas) reported

    Why are the match streams not working for tonight's matches @SkyFootball @virginmedia People pay a lot of money for this so-called service. It's not good enough

  • Malcolm_Sillick
    Malcolm Sillick (@Malcolm_Sillick) reported

    @LeilaniDowding @EE Lellani, it's not just EE, it's everyone. Even those on cable (Virgin Media) still have to have the phone plugged into the router. Seems like a good idea, until you get a power cut (which can be supported by a back-up battery, which is NOT given as standard) If the internet goes down, then so does your phone. Great if you have a mobile, but if you live in an area with a poor mobile signal, so reply on 'Wi-Fi calling' in the house, then when the internet goes down, you also have no mobile service. It's called progress!!
