  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia won't even let me over the automated service

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

    @virginmedia No help needed, thanks - just praising the deal I was given last night 🙌

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported 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!!

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

    @virginmedia I have to wait 24hrs & call back not only is the red light an issue, the WiFi has now stopped working!

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

    @virginmedia I was told to log into the Myo2 app to change it myself, but I have been sent no login details and of course if the email address is incorrect it won’t be recognised if I try to register. O2 said we would receive texts with updates on number port timeline but had no communication

  • StevieWalls Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported 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

  • tenchylad Stu (@tenchylad) reported 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.

  • ScottN1504 Scott Noble (@ScottN1504) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Has anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia trying to pay my Internet bill and its saying all my information is wrong??can you help

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

  • NETheatreGuide NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England

    @virginmedia The signal struggles to get to each room in the house. My son complains as he games. No chance of streaming music in the bathroom. It isn't a big house either. The deal I'm on currently was negotiated when I spoke to disconnection team rather than intro offer.

  • HelenEmbleton1 Helen Embleton (@HelenEmbleton1) reported from Leadgate, England

    @virginmedia Your customer services

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

    @virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.

  • 40yearsofhurt JOP (@40yearsofhurt) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  • NETheatreGuide NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England

    @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.

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

  • stephenharland Stephen Harland (@stephenharland) reported

    @virginmedia I signed up in March and have never been able to log in to my account. When I try and reset my password, it says my account doesn’t exist. Yet my bill comes to my email address every month. I’ve called, used online and still not resolved. Need this resolved ASAP.

  • davidac135 David Corry (@davidac135) reported

    @virginmedia I have no broadband. London uk. How do I get help with this? Thanks

  • BeautifullyEMPU Marsha Watson (@BeautifullyEMPU) reported

    @virginmedia By the looks off all the tweets it's down in many areas. Your link as usual shows no faults in the area. It never does but pop on to Twitter and unsurprisingly everyone is experiencing issues! So I suggest you go and check with your tech support why it clearly isn't working

  • Tim__Keenan Tim Keenan (@Tim__Keenan) reported

    @virginmedia Aye, the person dealing with me is either telling fibs to make me someone else's problem tomorrow, or doesn't understand how your services work :/

  • DavidWhChalky David Whyte (@DavidWhChalky) reported

    @CuomoPrimeTime @ChrisCuomo Vindman makes good points. Pity that CNN no longer available to be in UK via Virgin Media after over 25 years. No subscription add on allowed. Paid the CNN fee for TV link up via ipad & smart phone but ir doesnt work. CNN MAKES CONTACTING THEM IMPOSSIBLE. Sort it out big money.

  • jack02069517 jack (@jack02069517) reported

    @virginmedia Hi NL, Yes - both connections are providing similar slow speeds far below what we expected

  • ASHLEYJ0HNS0N Ashley Johnson Hayes (@ASHLEYJ0HNS0N) reported

    @virginmedia Been having issues for about a week or so now

  • sammylou74 Sam Hartill (@sammylou74) reported

    @virginmedia No still not working

  • Par7yPoison87 Nick Hastie (@Par7yPoison87) reported

    @virginmedia I have explained many times and always get told the same thing - that I’m wrong. Ever since your “smart upgrade” to my router I have had issues connecting devices that never had issues before despite them being in the same spot as always! Does not help when trying to work!
