  @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?

  @bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 8 minutes ago 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.

  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 9 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

• 
  Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported 12 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?

  @virginmedia hi I need to cancel an engineer appointment but clearly you've made this difficult to do. Any thoughts?

  @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 25 minutes ago 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

• 
  Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 26 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

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

• 
  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 42 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

  liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported 45 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia can you help me please everytime I try to log in the virgin media app on my mobile account it's logs me off all the time why ?

• 
  David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 47 minutes ago 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

• 
  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 48 minutes ago 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.

  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 50 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  A week of no issues after a month of next to no tv and now it starts all over again. I have sound and the guide but just a black screen on every channel. So glad my contract is up, deffo going to be leaving this time. Waste of time and money!!!!! @virginmedia

• 
  Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported 51 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.

• 
  The Geordie Villan (@geordievillan1) reported 51 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  3rd dayin a row on hold to @virginmedia to cancel my TV package and again its over 45mins no answer. Shocking customer service like.

• 
  Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported 56 minutes 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.

  Lynne Devlin (@lynne_devlin) reported 2 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Absolutely appalled at the incompetent awful level of service. Over 3 hours on live chat trying to sort out my 96 year old grandmother contract as you are trying to charge her an obscene amount of money and I am no further forward.

• 
  Ian Scott (@IanScott_01) reported 3 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have emailed the ResolutionsTeam this morning regarding an ongoing issue. Does this email get monitored and can I expect a call back from them?

• 
  Nadine_CCN (@NadineD_G) reported 5 minutes ago

  @virginmedia more than 24 hours of no internet service in the E4 area. I’m seeing people saying that this has gone on for days with them. How can we confirm that our service will be up and running by the suggested time? I have work to do and this is really causing a delay.

• 
  Seno (@SenosLIVE) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia please get your **** together, 3rd day in a row internet goes down at 9pm with no solution to the problem other than check back in 24hours. I’m paying £40 a month not for this. Soon it’s gonna be time to switch providers

• 
  Ben C (@BenChubb4) reported 10 minutes ago

  Hey @virginmedia still 2hrs and 20 mins remaining to call me like you said you would to update/fix the fact that I’ve had no email access on any device for 11 days. Only 2 days over your last SLA. P.s. Thanks m not available to speak to Saturday, Sunday Monday

• 
  George W (@Fraudly_) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia your online service is an absolute joke. You notify me of new monthly fee starting in May and I need to look at other packages if I want to change before new price takes effect. Only for your site to be riddled with errors and your bot to give me a broken link! With that link switching between error message and taking me right back to that same chat! And I shouldn't need to go round in circles chatting about an upgrade, much easier just doing it myself on your site. If it actually worked.

• 
  SJL (@lambypies) reported 12 minutes ago

  @tom550993 Haggled Virginmedia down to £50 a month for decent broadband, one set top box for live TV and the middle TV package. Now TV and Netflix still trials less than £75. If I could get a decent reception with an aerial I would ditch the box too.

  twocakesdakes (@2cakesdakes) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia absolutely **** company. Don't look after their loyal customers. Trying to cancel phone line and going to charge extra for smaller package. Just **** off

  @NicolaG01 @virginmedia My experience of Virgin has always been they suffer from technical issues. Many is the time in the past I have called them, they have told me to do things at my end which I know will achieve nothing... and then it magically works!
