    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.

    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

    @virginmedia Horrific customer service

    Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

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

    @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 Your customer services

    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

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

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

    Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

    @virginmedia She’s sent me a service receipt out

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

    @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

  • DJLKP
    LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

    You lot need to sort yourselves out, Internet going down around midnight for the past few days yet you charge the earth @virginmedia

  • 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!

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Internet connection is intermittent in NE34, has been since at least Saturday. Connection drops at random. Have just restarted router again as I'm working from home & need to be online, no idea how long this will last. Not the only one having issues.

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

    @virginmedia I know that there’s an issue in the area. It went early this morning. I’ve seen the spike of reports. I’ve seen the bot say it’s gonna get fixed. Then the bot is saying the issue is with our box. Even though I know there’s tons in the area still having issues. Basically, it lies

  • rebecca_ryder21

    @virginmedia we have been trying to call you for ages but it keeps saying wrong number when they answer the phone and after we put in all the details. Please help.

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    On day 8 with no broadband from @virginmedia the engineer has finally fixed it INFURIATINGLY he informed me that the service was shut off at the cabinet due to "noise" from the property that was affecting other users back on 21/4! Said he was astonished I hadn't been informed🤬

  • rouse_sue
    Sue Rouse💙 🇺🇦 (@rouse_sue) reported

    @virginmedia I have Netflix as part of my deal. I’ve been told 4 times that an email will be with me in 24 hours. Still no email after 8 days. Everyone promised but no delivery’s. This seems to be a regular issue.

  • DWRICHARDS
    David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you. I look forward to doing so after the current period of 30 days (in which to issue a replacement cheque) has expired and when I will need to renew my attempts at scaling your high security battlements!

  • man_simulator
    SimulatorMan (@man_simulator) reported

    @virginmedia any updates on loss of service in my area. As im classed as vunberbul customer amd its been down sence like 3pm yesterday and im pissed off as always happens all the time with Virgin Media !!!

  • shauny67
    Shaun (@shauny67) reported

    @virginmedia @paulpresenteruk Never use ring door bell over WiFi why cos only works on 2.4ghz & Virgin like all providers combine 2.4 & 5ghz together would need to split them & set a static IP address for the ring door bell on 2.4ghz. best option is ethernet to a POE switch for data & power

  • entrustTMF
    entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported

    @RogerGreen2009 @virginmedia I'm definitely going to be reviewing my options at the end of my current @virginmedia contract as they've been dreadful in terms of communication and help when the chips are down(day SEVEN of outage)😢 Sadly, I've only just renewed my contract... Thanks for the suggestions👍

    Tired of paying for multiple subscriptions like Sky, BT Sport, Virgin Media, Now TV, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+? I have got the solution. This IPTV @8k_Best_IPTV33 offers: • 300,000+ live channels • 65,000+ VODs • PPV events • Netflix • 78,000+ movies

  • DWRICHARDS
    David Richards (@DWRICHARDS) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks so much. Who should I ask for?! Current promise via Chat is a chq within 30 days. The problem with contacting Virgin Media by phone or online when you are a former customer chasing a refund is that it is difficult to get past your security checking if it's an old a/c.
