  • 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!)

  • scotty8461
    Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

  • Ne31phil
    Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia please advise Reduced mobile signal in the NE31 area. The signals were fine until a couple of months ago. previously had 4g I now mainly get E or sometimes 3G this is an issue due to my elderly mother-in-law being in hospital and now very poor signal in their home

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 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.

    Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

    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...

    W. W. L. D. ? He'd stay at home. (@RobLow_7) reported from Sacriston, England

    @OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

  • jamie_davison1
    Jamie Davison (@jamie_davison1) reported from Seaham, England

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

  • 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.).

  • 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/

  • 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.

    @virginmedia Tv still down after 24 hours and no update from VM. Awful service from a company that states putting customers first. Shocking service

  • nataliewhittle6
    Natalie Whittle ⭐⭐ (@nataliewhittle6) reported

    @virginmedia Itv1 still not working any ideas when it will be up and running again

  • Mortalportal01
    Michael Portal (@Mortalportal01) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Hi. In this instance speaking through Virgin Media, it was set up without my knowledge and without a written or verbal contract. I am in the middle of this mess now and have looked a complaint. Thank you

  • debski2222
    hellooooooooo (@debski2222) reported

    @BriefcaseMike @virginmedia I hope it comes back on for you ASAP. That's the trouble with these companies, you're late with a payment and they're all over you. But if they fail to provide service they shrug their shoulders.

  • StyleConscious
    Style Conscious ✝️ (@StyleConscious) reported

    @virginmedia I need to speak to someone about my account. No one picks up the phone. The app can’t help me.

  • JPWOZNIAK
    JAN WOZNIAK (@JPWOZNIAK) reported

    @virginmedia STILL NO BBC1, why? Plus other issues eg. previous channel’s sound following any change of channel?

  • scousesense
    scouse sense@scousegranny (@scousesense) reported

    @virginmedia Please cancel my order that was made yesterday. I am in the 14 day cooling off period so cancel it . DM me to get the reference number. Than you

  • RHawkins05
    Richard (@RHawkins05) reported

    @virginmedia how do I claim compensation for no TV service now for 2 Days??????

  • theGROWcompany
    Rachel Rosser (@theGROWcompany) reported

    @virginmedia Regardless of the actual problem, it seems the company is totally inept. Why was your incoming call message not working, why was the on hold musac playing the same one track for an hour. Why did it take so many hours for any public announcement?

  • leelamalur
    SRao (@leelamalur) reported

    @virginmedia No one to help and besides have charged a penalty for non- payment. Terrible service. Will find a way to get out of the contract.
