Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, EnglandYe 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.
-
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.

Mike (@mikegormley2003) reported@virginmedia WIFI been down for days, engineer comes yesterday, says he can’t fix it, says he’ll pass it on and leaves. No proof he’s been or any contact about what’s next. Shocking. DD5 1EJ.
-
Debzy G 🦅🐦⬛🦉 (@brummiedebz) reported@virginmedia Right, I’ve tried calling these things. None worked Which suggests it’s an app issue.
-
rssconsultant (@rssconsultant) reported@virginmedia your customer service agents on chat are utter crap. Taking 5 mins to reply to every response. Incompetent!
-
Ben (@BenjaminEHowe) reported@ndabas @TLRailUK More interesting IMO – the IP address 80.0.1.0 belongs to Virgin Media (as part of 80.0.0.0/13). I wonder if the PIS uses VM, or if they're just using public IP space on a private network and hoping for the best?
-
Mrmutherfukery (@Mrfutherfukery) reported@virginmedia @fanboyofnolan Yes, absolutely they do **** all even if you can actually get you speak to a person. Which is near impossible. Very bad company if you cancel your contract they call you in about 10 minutes 🤑🤑🤑🤑
-
BM (@birdiegotweet84) reported@virginmedia Hi guys. The voice activated part of my remote isn’t working at the moment. Could you give me some guidance on how to fix the issue please? Thanks in advance for your help!
-
Cristoir Toibin (@christobinsings) reported@virginmedia absolute shambles of a service today, missed the football and now no Internet again for the last hour. Happy to send me 4 messages to say you've fixed "the issue" Time to move to another provider.
-
david hesketh (@davaecho) reported@virginmedia after 20 years have just cancelled my contract awful customer service your company will be on its knees if this continues
-
Rob Sharman ⭐️⭐️ (@sharman_robert) reported@virginmedia appalling customer service, you either speak to a bot or a moron on a messaging service…they still haven’t fixed any of my issues I’m done at this point
-
SJL (@lambypies) reported@tom550993 Haggled Virginmedia down to £50 a month for decent broadband, one set top box for live TV and the middle TV package. Now TV and Netflix still trials less than £75. If I could get a decent reception with an aerial I would ditch the box too.
