    Ye 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.

    @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.

  • EmSatch
    EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

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

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

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

    @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

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

    @Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

  • purplelime
    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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia what channels do I need to go down for a stable connection check in my area, two days in a row internet keeps dropping not ideal when working from home. Thanks.

    @virginmedia why on earth is my internet so slow. Only been with you 2 months and it is terrible for the past 3 days. My son is trying to revise for his GCSEs for 2 exams tomorrow and this is not good. Nothing will load. Get this sorted asap

  • fcmad1960
    FootballCricketMad (@fcmad1960) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there, my problems are still unresolved and even your "Resolutions" team is blanking me. I need confirmation that we're at the end of the road so I can go to the regulator. How can I get this pls?

    @Benleo @ailsybabe @virginmedia Please make an example and put them in their place. Hopefully out of buisness. Horrible company, Virginmedia.

    MykeJD (@MykeJD1) reported

    @saltyy_savage Virgin media personally as much as they annoy me with their prices, they have always been the most reliable, they have issues now and then but generally it works. Recently I was paying around 90 odd for gigabit, all sports, all uhd managed to get 500 now keep all sports for 72

  • Luv_Farmers
    Chrissie (@Luv_Farmers) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia I'm surprised that an investigative journalist even accepted these conditions in the 1st place. VM has an awful reputation for this kind of behaviour which is widely known. Sorry this happened to you but it was to be expected

  • Jackmeough7058
    Jackmeough1 (@Jackmeough7058) reported

    @Benleo @virginmedia Left 08/23. Landline wasn't working for 12months+. Indian call centre kept promising engineers that never came. Online logs of issue were cancelled automatically after 28 days 'You haven't been back in touch, assume issue is resolved'. I was a customer over 20yrs. ******* useless

    @Benleo @Iwontcalmdown @virginmedia They really are the worst company got rid of them finally but they still kept taking money.

  • screwy73
    Carl S (@screwy73) reported

    @virginmedia I no its not a fault free service but your faults are very regular as i said 3 to 4 times a week compared to once in a blue moon on a BT line , and when i do a check nothing wrong with my line , so it must be my router which works fine till you have a fault 🙄

    @Benleo @lindseyjacks67 Your biggest mistake was entertaining Virgin media in the first place! I would never give any money to Richard Branson..ever! Vile man!

    @Benleo Just look at @Trustpilot reviews. Almost impossible to cancel an @virginmedia contract. Sent all evidence to Ombudsman, got written apology and £150.
