  • maxinetennet74
    Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, England

    What will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.

  • purplelime
    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.

  • adamappleby
    Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?

  • PatternThimble
    Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    @bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

  • KeithRwc
    Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, England

    Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

  • geemiller71
    Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Horrific customer service

  • gazza_d
    Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

  • TheFraserPorter
    Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!

  • liamsholder91
    liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia what's going on still nothing no data no phone service nothing sort it out

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia No help needed, thanks - just praising the deal I was given last night 🙌

  • VictoriaBarry82
    Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!

  • liamsholder91
    liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia won't even let me over the automated service

  • gaznolan
    Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia Ridiculous service from your team in Manilla. Both Joy & Brian telling me I wasn't able to pass security because I couldn't tell them my next bill date as the package/contract is ended even after telling them my normal date and all other DP information

  • CazzaW
    CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Wakey wakey @virginmedia shoddy service not to update a LOT of the UK on broadband problems

  • clairekitty12
    claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia But do you understand that this is a problem in my area you were aware of ! Said it would be fixed but it hasen't ? It just needs reporting i don't need a tech to my house i beed it to the area

  • didixon74
    LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

  • JonAshman2
    Jon Ashman (@JonAshman2) reported

    @virginmedia I’m paying £176.00 per month for your services so quite frankly an apology isn’t good enough I’ll contact yourselves later regarding my contract the service you now offer is woeful

  • tpembe1
    Troy Pemberton (@tpembe1) reported

    @virginmedia Just rang customer service and now been promised a date of 8th of July at 3pm. Like I said previously the date keeps moving.

  • bushmills7d
    Paul Williams (@bushmills7d) reported

    @virginmedia another day with out service. That was nearly all day yesterday and so far 4 hours today. That’s three times this week so far. But I bet you’ll still take your money for no service

  • iam_samedoho
    Sam Ed (@iam_samedoho) reported

    @OgaHans MTN is one of the biggest network operators in Nigeria. EE, Virgin Media O2, Vodafone, and Three are the major network operators in the UK. EE coverage is very good because BT owns and operates it using its existing infrastructure. Most of the smaller network operators are resellers. They bulk-buy wholesale - network minutes, texts, and data at a heavily discounted rate from (like EE, VMO2, or VodafoneThree) and resell it to people. Their coverage isn't good because they are limited. They are only competitive on price, not on coverage.

  • haditaminuteago
    TinaThomas (@haditaminuteago) reported

    @virginmedia our internet has gone down, AI bot says we need a new hub and will send one in 3 to 5 days . Will I get a refund for the days I have no service?

  • waughzone
    Duncan Waugh (@waughzone) reported

    @virginmedia No change. Service still intermittent at best.

  • LessGrumpy
    GrumpyByName 🇮🇱 (@LessGrumpy) reported

    @virginmedia Wrong. Insurers got slaughtered for this sort of behaviour and rightly so. I’m still paying a third more than the price you would offer a new customer. Case number is C-2906261078.

  • mrsluc
    Sandra Robinson (@mrsluc) reported

    @YeshuaFoxtrot @virginmedia I read on here everyday about issues, I have to be honest they are the best I've had. Three years and never an issue, well apart from the persistant cold calls. I sympathise with people who do, I was with Sky and had to reset my modem 3 times a day.

  • ACLegalServices
    Legal Eagle. (@ACLegalServices) reported

    @virginmedia I am seriously thinking of leaving Virgin after 25 years or so as you are about to double my bill to £62.00 a month for speeds of 120mbps. Any recommendations to replace them with a reliable service, that I have had with Virgin. Difficult to talk to them on phone

    @virginmedia my Internet connection gas just turned off.. is there s problem in the mk43 area?
