  • dodgestweet Matt Dodge Donnelly (@dodgestweet) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia every month I have the same issue. Go to pay bill and despite having Google auto password (which works on every other thing I log in) it says my log in is wrong and I have to reset it EVERY MONTH!! EVERY MONTH!! IT'S RIDICULOUS

  • Dyl_Atkinson Dylan Atkinson (@Dyl_Atkinson) reported from Washington, England

    Virgin media are not stupid like give everyone 10GB free data then nock everyone’s WiFi off so they go over there allowances😂

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • MajorManor lee major (@MajorManor) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia You having service issues in NE15 7PH

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

  • Marilyn_huartt Marilyn malibu (@Marilyn_huartt) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

    @virginmedia @virginmedia your internet connection is as bad as your ethics.

  • av47ar av47ar (@av47ar) reported

    @virginmedia So I'm hoping it's all correct and goes through on time but after all these calls, waste of time text c/services I'm not very positive about it. After all past experience of VM c/service has been dire.

  • Lee475273David Lee David Rusbridge (LDR) (@Lee475273David) reported

    @virginmedia is this your number from your customer service 02039837868 as this is the number i got called from I pretty sure this is nothing to do with your customer service as got called by this number again this morning but did not answer the call

  • _christinawyc Christina Chan (@_christinawyc) reported

    @virginmedia Hi I’m having issues with my wifi being incredible slow and dropping out ever since I joined virgin media. I’ve been to your help page and been through the steps to no avail. The roadside cabinet is outside my house so not sure how there would be a reach issue?

  • Il_Diavolo88 Anthony Romano (@Il_Diavolo88) reported

    Dear @virginmedia spoken to many different people over numerous days but nobody is still able to tell me when my landline will be ported. Request made a month ago and previous provider notified me it was being ported from you yesterday. It’s a very important line can you help?

  • t0mm13b Tommie (@t0mm13b) reported

    Genuine question, about #accessibility and #deaf, @RTEplayer / @VirginMediaNews @VirginMedia_TV media player, the lack of subtitling is piss poor, why? Just tuned into virgin media player to catch up on last night's #TonightVMTV and disappointed.

  • AMPF70 Aidan Farrell (@AMPF70) reported

    @HifiHut Hi, you kindly did some work for me 12+ months ago. Internet is down yesterday & today and so major prob. Apparently not a Virgin Media issue. Do you have a call service to walk me through a potential fix? Thanks.

  • iamnickjh Nick (@iamnickjh) reported

    @JorelJBond @virginmedia I'm moving house and they don't supply at my new address, so they're trying to charge me the entirety of the contract to cancel it...it's frustrating as they have up to this point being great but I'm never using them again if they're going to make me pay that as a termination fee

  • RobbieWardlaw Robbie Wardlaw (@RobbieWardlaw) reported

    @virginmedia been on hold on the live chat to try cancel my contract for nearly 2 hours now, wtf is going on

  • _christinawyc Christina Chan (@_christinawyc) reported

    @virginmedia The hub is wired to the wall so I can’t actually move it anywhere, I’ve not connected it via a cable (ethernet?) so not sure how it works that way but wireless on all devices is an issue?
