• 
  Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported 27 seconds ago 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.

  Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported 7 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

  @virginmedia can you help with my phone services not currently working

  @virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?

• 
  Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported 21 minutes ago 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.

  @virginmedia You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it? Spoke 18 months ago about signal. Was told it would be looked at if I agreed to renew. Once renewed was told WiFi is not guaranteed so tough.

  @virginmedia what channels do I need to go down for a stable connection check in my area, two days in a row internet keeps dropping not ideal when working from home. Thanks.

  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 33 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

  Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 33 minutes ago 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?

• 
  Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported 38 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

• 
  Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported 41 minutes ago from Chester-le-Street, England

  “You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

• 
  Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 43 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

  Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported 45 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help

• 
  Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported 46 minutes ago from Newburn, England

  @GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.

• 
  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 52 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  On hold with @virginmedia for 20 minutes then they decided to cut my call.. great service. 👍

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 53 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

• 
  Iinton Smith (@lintoniosmythe) reported 53 minutes ago 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

• 
  emma (@ema_neale) reported 59 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!

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 60 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  @virginmedia 20+ years a loyal customer, paying £128/month. New customers can sign up TODAY for the exact same package — Gig1 broadband, Mega TV, Sky Sports & Cinema — for £76.99/month. That's £51/month MORE for being loyal. Explain that. #VirginMedia #CustomerService

  @virginmedia hi guys, Any sign of the virgin hub 5 being available to send me? I was told I could have one around 6 months ago after a long conversation but never heard anything since! Regards Duncan

  Tommy Tinkler (@TinklerTommy) reported 8 minutes ago

  @miss___kb Yep I have used google family and virgin media security whilst kids grew up. You can block anything you want or them and restrict sites and device time and you get to okay anything they install on the device. Most adults as thick as pig **** to use them.

  Joe Farrugia 🇬🇧🇲🇹🇪🇺 (@JoeFarrugia) reported 12 minutes ago

  Being messed up by @virginmedia. 1st we were never told the old box must be returned then they charge £90 for not returning it. Trying to get this sorted is such a hassle. You’re told one thing, nothing gets done then you’re told something else.

  Man in Black 2125 (@In2125) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia love to but unless you're gonna send a fleet of engineers to fix the issue i don't really see how dming will help. but just for the fun of it i will. standby. incoming

  @virginmedia Brilliant what a service ! Meanwhile no internet , no TV , no nothing and my wife's business hasn't stop ! REALLY

  GingaGill💙👩🏻‍🎓😷  (@GingaGill) reported 19 minutes ago

  @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 Yep…sadly the service has declined since the two companies merged. They blocked my account for weeks for ‘ security reasons’. ( I had changed pw & looking for new deals) No one seemed unable to unblock it. Took several phone calls/DM’s/ emails etc.

  jason (@Jason29wctb) reported 20 minutes ago

  @virginmedia All they say is need a engineer and I tell them no but send them any way knowing they can't fix it ,if I cancel £1600 ,even tho it's illegal to hold me I a contract with a service that's not fit for purpose
