    @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.

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

  • 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.).

  • vitosauras
    🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    @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.

    @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.

    Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported 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.

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

    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.

    @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 ?

    My wifi and 4g at home is absolutely garbage, sort your **** out @virginmedia

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported 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

  • liamsholder91
    liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia why is phone network not working and plus can't phone people or text tryed restarting phone still. Nothing can't even ring you guys WTAF

    @virginmedia But do you understand that this is a problem in my area you were aware of ! Said it would be fixed but it hasen't ? It just needs reporting i don't need a tech to my house i beed it to the area

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

    @gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)

    @virginmedia Got someone to call me back. Explained everything very slow and crashes when two people zoom. Will take a week to get someone out only because they think it’s fully broken! I wait with bated breath! 🤔

  • McHilti
    Mark Oliver (@McHilti) reported

    @virginmedia I won't waste an more of my time on this. I've already sent letters of complaint and heard nothing for a few months then one advising me to contact an external company. All over one single SAE envelope. If I don't receive one by One month from today. the equipment goes out.

    Springer Dee (@SpringerDee) reported

    @virginmedia It is clearly an outage but this outage happens frequently. Normally when your engineer has been tinkering with the box at the end of our road. As I said, my elderly parents are without the ability to communicate with anyone. What are your plans?

  • Karen_atTC
    Karen Hogan- TC (@Karen_atTC) reported

    @virginmedia how hard is it to cancel your contract!? wasted hours I’ll never get back trying to contact them! #badservice

    @virginmedia Why not try and fix it. Or do you just like ripping folk off?

  • Honeybunjabi
    feez🍉 (@Honeybunjabi) reported

    @virginmedia It keeps cutting out throughout the day, we have turned the router off and on, I have called about wifi issues before so this is an ongoing issue that hasn’t been resolved

  • carbonize
    Stewart (@carbonize) reported

    @virginmedia I want to cancel my account. You tell customers to call but it took my five attempts just to the automated system. I was then on hold for 30 minutes just for it to ring then cut me off.

  • Honeybunjabi
    feez🍉 (@Honeybunjabi) reported

    @virginmedia Yes my wifi is extremely bad
