NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandTime for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

-
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.).
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia No help needed, thanks - just praising the deal I was given last night 🙌
-
CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandWakey wakey @virginmedia shoddy service not to update a LOT of the UK on broadband problems
-
David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia I’ve tried to use the add-on service as being a broadband customer I’m able to download to the O2 app however I cannot sign in as I do not have a mobile number and it will not accept my landline, can you help
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England1 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 from Newburn, England@virginmedia won't even let me over the automated service
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@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.
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, EnglandYe gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.
-
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.

claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia I did the online thing before contacting u it says needs a tech . But it doesnt it needs your outage fixed .
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England@virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?

ongoing.correspondence (@OngoingAccount) reported@virginmedia You haven't replied to the last DM. I had to make an official complaint to get a resolution. @Ofcom Having had equipment checked and replaced, the connection is still freezing and disconnecting. This suggests the problem is external. #virginmedia
