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

    @_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  • Andymorris74
    Andrew Morris💙 (@Andymorris74) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia Your whole system is down! No access to telephone No access to broadband No access to website No access to status checker What’s going on???

  • hylt64
    Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

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

    @virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

  • 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?

  • CraigSmartUN
    Craig Smart 💙 (@CraigSmartUN) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia trying to set up online account ready for install on Wednesday, verification email expired. Clicking send new email but no email is being sent so can’t verify email. Please help!

    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.

  • Carl_Walsh33
    Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England

    @jmstocka @virginmedia Has to be the worst app going. It regularly says this to me despite the 47 step verification

  • lintoniosmythe
    Iinton Smith (@lintoniosmythe) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

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

    @gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)

  • RobbyRSSRobot
    Robby #CelebrateNeighbours (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

    @virginmedia Horrific customer service

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

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Internet connection is intermittent in NE34, has been since at least Saturday. Connection drops at random. Have just restarted router again as I'm working from home & need to be online, no idea how long this will last. Not the only one having issues.

  • sarkeycockney
    THE SARKY COCKNEY (@sarkeycockney) reported

    @virginmedia 1 hour how on hold waiting to get through - no answer from anyone on the app - which is just as awful as the website

  • walty1972
    Neil Waters (@walty1972) reported

    @virginmedia is there an outage in South Gloucestershire right now?

  • Blair4DFC
    Blair (@Blair4DFC) reported

    @virginmedia Why not put a message on the TV saying that? Lots of your customers will think its an issue on their end. I've turned off and on and changed HDMI cables This sort of thing happens quite a bit when you're watching in apps and you turn off the box whilst in the app.

    Matt Smith (@MattyladKRO) reported

    @virginmedia Are you going to post on here when fixed ..like a customer caring company would do ..or just let people spend all day checking
