  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

  • 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

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia disgusting slow speeds AGAIN in NE27 Cant wait for my contract end

  • 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.

  • KiddEdan Edan Kidd (@KiddEdan) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia two nights in a row the internet goes down, yous are a bag of shite

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

    Why is @virginmedia customer service so unrelentingly bloody awful?? Still no call from an engineer, told replacement TiVo box would come by post for it to come out by courier and get notified of this 20 minutes after the delivery window has started and I was at work 😡

  • 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 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...

  • allymcgeorge Alvin TX Fernandez (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi I need to cancel an engineer appointment but clearly you've made this difficult to do. Any thoughts?

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia service down NE26 PANTS

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

    Dear @virginmedia, why is your WiFi so bloody awful? Another day of resetting, rebooting etc etc and it's still **** 😩

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Well it said no issues, but all my devices will not connect, rebooted router. Nothing..

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

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

  • jrpdp Jay D P (@jrpdp) reported

    Had a call from @virginmedia trying to keep me as a customer as I have just cancelled my "rolling contract". When I was asked what I wasn't happy with the caller didn't like what I had to say about being ripped off and hung up on me. Typical shocking customer services. #bye 👋

  • Jaynelouise1970 Jayne Louise 💙 (@Jaynelouise1970) reported

    Virgin media are crap over 10 yrs as a customer they send a message saying I'm going be cut off, I paid 2 weeks ago, enquired about reducing channels as I have discovery+ etc I can lose channels except free view saving 33 a month guess I'll be leaving

  • CRhodesGlassArt Colin Rhodes (@CRhodesGlassArt) reported

    @virginmedia Not removing this tweet until I get this issue sorted out. The call back was arranged for Tuesday at 6pm. We have spoken to 3 different agents now & all have given 3 different answers. Is #virginmedia making policy up as you go along. Can you get a manager to call #disappointed

  • ciarandonohoe Ciaran Donohoe (@ciarandonohoe) reported

    @virginmedia after 4 hrs of waiting to speak to customer services a month ago, as you were taking out the incorrect amount on a monthly basis. You confirmed at the time it’s been resolved and the credit will be applied. Still not sorted. You know own a credit of nearly €900!

  • Philsnr Phil🇬🇧🇮🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪 (@Philsnr) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 I wouldn't bother, I'm about to cancel all Virgin Media products as Virgin Media has failed to provide a satisfactory service on my Mobile Account, I've had enough, for weeks I've been unable to call or text out from my number,VM know this, fault not fixed

  • CRhodesGlassArt Colin Rhodes (@CRhodesGlassArt) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I suggest someone contacts me. My account number is 636222703 area 21 Your customer service agent Abdul S offered us we should leave your company. This isn’t sorting out our original complaint. Still waiting for a call from a manager. #virginmedia #appalling #loyalcustomer

  • LorrainePryde Lorraine Pryde (@LorrainePryde) reported

    @virginmedia how on earth can I get someone to cancel my contract . It ends next week and I've tried numerous times to call but again have just been cut off.Also if contract ends on the 4th march and email says from the 5th I need to pay £44 how come final bill is for £47.25?!

  • pickled_tinker Grody🔞 (@pickled_tinker) reported

    @vmbusiness sort out your call centers. I am getting sick and tired of picking up a call to be hung up on from you. This is now amounting to harassment and I will be lodging a formal complaint. You waste time from my day and you're making me very angry.

  • nearly5ft Dominique (@nearly5ft) reported

    @virginmedia So there’s no option to to get my phone working? You don’t offer customer support and I can’t call customer care because my phone isn’t working. A dead end with absolutely no help.

  • RebeccaLWatson Rebecca Watson (@RebeccaLWatson) reported

    @virginmedia someone keeps phoning me about issues with my router saying they're from Virgin. I don't now if it's a hoax or not, can you help?
