  • classicm Mike Moody (@classicm) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • TrevorRidley Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • 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?

  • TheFraserPorter Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported 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!

  • liam_Tinybuddy Liam (Tinybuddy) (@liam_Tinybuddy) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia why do I keep getting texts about my spending cap I don't even have one can you please help

  • didixon74 LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Ryton, England

    @virginmedia I have a problem with my red button not working for sky sports football not working, how can I get this issue resolved please

  • didixon74 LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia In October agreed new contract, came to install last week got new router and have since cancelled the packages that was agreed. I am now been charged more and getting less services. Tried to resolve last week over the phone & not no further forward so just want to cancel now.

  • maxinetennet74 Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported 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.

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I know my line is spoofed, when an incoming call from a foreign country is giving out I’m not wrong number as I’m being spoofed I am technically aware of this I used to provide support for a very large telecommunications company

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever

  • ema_neale emma (@ema_neale) reported 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!

  • didixon74 LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Ryton, England

    @_ItsLewis18_ @virginmedia I managed to get onto live ch at t and they have done something to fix it. Thank you

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I spoke to them the other day they told me that you do not record any time when the broadband drops out only when a customer calls in so please can you get this sorted out thank you

  • CazzaW CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Wakey wakey @virginmedia shoddy service not to update a LOT of the UK on broadband problems

  • didixon74 LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks

  • pearceswan David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 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

  • kathrynsales Kathryn Sales (@kathrynsales) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, nothing on service status page but when I called CS they said there will be issues until the end of the month. However, there has been a marked change in our experience since new router (eg being kicked off video calls during work etc) which hasn’t ever happened before.

  • bneamin Ibne amin (@bneamin) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. And the response I got from the support team is ridiculous. Never heard anything like it n my 18 years working in IT industry.

  • Dan_1794 Daniel Parr (@Dan_1794) reported

    @virginmedia Previous to speaking to this rude person we spoke to someone else who even said it sounded like we were paying too much. This rude individual just didn’t want to be on the phone and because of that you have now lost our service P2
