    @virginmedia Why can't you just deal with by dm and resolve the issue

  • 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

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia After speaking to yet another member who stated they couldn’t do anything about it, I said I was going to cancel so I was transferred. The guy I spoke to was for once someone I could understand, he was able to sort my issue out in 10 minutes after being on the phone for 1 hour

  • 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

  • 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 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...

  • 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.

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • 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

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia No customer service just ignore customers

  • Deggsytweets Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England

    @BurnleyJo @virginmedia Yea they’ve got issues with certain channels

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

  • 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.

  • Neil_Rivelino Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia my V6 boxes have stopped communicating with each other (in reality downstairs is talking to upstairs but not vice-verse). Anyone who can help?

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

    @virginmedia Customer service non existant

  • oldmetalanmoody oldmetalandmoody (@oldmetalanmoody) reported

    @virginmedia I've been trying for an hour to navigate my account page on both the app on my phone and through the laptop, constant bad request page , I did get in once and it told me that my account is secondary ??, Worst website ever

  • nickisrani Nicholas K. (@nickisrani) reported

    @virginmedia @thanks_ants What’s the status of this issue?

  • Lolly81 Lorraine Mullings (@Lolly81) reported

    @virginmedia Services are down, as is the service checker function. Sadly, I'm not surprised. I kinda expected this to happen based on previous experiences

  • slapnuts316 Slappy (@slapnuts316) reported

    @virginmedia Hi can you help me find my account number please? I can't find any emails from you at all with it on.

  • madebymarian Marian Avery (@madebymarian) reported

    @wiredimage @virginmedia @O2 Thanks Ben... checked again and I finally had that option. MyO2 has been broken for 3 weeks (a known technical fault) so their assurances over the phone that it would happen automatically are not true!

  • LornaTayaz lorna Taylor (@LornaTayaz) reported

    @virginmedia I know you don't want to lose me as a customer and really can't accept that I have left Third new contract set up at the weekend .. fourth time I've cancelled but still have to pay 30 days notice.. I've moved to Vodaphone and Sky ..

  • raynejones Lorraine Jones (@raynejones) reported

    @virginmedia Service status is saying all fine now but our broadband still isn’t working - wah! Have already rebooted the hub with no luck…

  • CarlaLariot carla lariot (@CarlaLariot) reported

    @virginmedia two days without WiFi and it seems that everyone is complaining. Worst WiFi company

  • ZenArshad ZenA (@ZenArshad) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia I've asked for a new hub yet advisor said they can't as @YodelOnline update showing as in transit. Same update for the last 6 days. No call back from complaint or a manager

  • Wolvo_Blake 🇺🇦 Wolvo_Blake 🇺🇦 (@Wolvo_Blake) reported

    @virginmedia is easily the worst network for internet. Absolutely USELESS….
