  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.

  liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported 27 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now

  @virginmedia All my tv, broadband and phone services are down. Nobody available from Virgin to help. Done all the usual checks and still off.

• 
  liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported 31 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia can you help me please everytime I try to log in the virgin media app on my mobile account it's logs me off all the time why ?

• 
  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 32 minutes ago 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.

  emma (@ema_neale) reported 34 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

• 
  Bella (@SharBella72) reported 35 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia internet is down, again in Sunderland area.

• 
  Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported 39 minutes ago 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

• 
  liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported 39 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia I'm definitely filein complaint 15 days without no TV and 2 kids is really hard work its either that or I'll go with someone else

• 
  Robby #CelebrateNeighbours (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported 39 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported 40 minutes ago 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

• 
  David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 46 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

• 
  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 48 minutes ago 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.

  Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported 51 minutes ago 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!

• 
  Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported 55 minutes ago 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!!

  Brendan (@sabrevan) reported 3 minutes ago

  @virginmedia There was an outage in my area - for 3 days. It’s not my hub. It’s the ridiculously bad, unreliable service @virginmedia provide. Our whole street is complaining. Guess what … the service is down again today 😡

• 
  AKW (@EdenPrime88) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia could you please reply to a complaint submitted for account 141321301 Area 02. The situation has gotten absolutely ridiculous

• 
  Asif Rana (@HounslowParking) reported 15 minutes ago

  @bt_uk I'd like to know why your business broadband so called service, can only compound its utter uselessness with skyscraper level brain numbing stupidity? I thought @vmbusiness was utterly indescribably ****, until you came along. You literally make them look like geniuses.

• 
  H ꙩlly 🌙 (@gh0stmachinexo) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia shocking service, I’ve tried to contact today as my broadband has been down since last night I’ve done all the steps and there is no way to book a service call. App says no issues then I do a test and it says intermittent issues please get this fixed !!!

• 
  ohsandra70 (@KayCee312898473) reported 18 minutes ago

  @virginmedia increased bill to £70 but internet service is crap!

• 
  ScouseRasta (@ScouseRasta) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 3 times in the last 2 days my broadband has been down for, around 5 hours this morning and again for the past hour! Get your **** together before I move to different provider along with a lot of other people. Don’t even offer any compensation for an outage, shocking!

• 
  Diplo (@loldiplo) reported 21 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Already got one booked in. I will be complaining however as you already are charging a substantial amount for a service you’re clearly incapable of providing.

• 
  Dippy | Brig Content Creator (@Itsdippylive) reported 21 minutes ago

  Hey @virginmedia. Honour what your own self-service flow committed to when you took my £111. Build the written-channel route to Payments your Resolutions Team has admitted is needed. Default it in payment SMS for every customer.

• 
  Its Murphy (@murphyireland83) reported 22 minutes ago

  @virginmedia yo… why does everyone who works for you just lie their faces off? 2 days no internet engineer said someone would be out to pull a line within the hour.. 4 hours later no show, call customer service and the promised me a call back by 6pm. another lie, now sat on hold
