Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….
-
emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, EnglandWhy can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.
-
🦦 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.

LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England@virginmedia In October agreed new contract, came to install last week got new router and have since cancelled the packages that was agreed. I am now been charged more and getting less services. Tried to resolve last week over the phone & not no further forward so just want to cancel now.
-
Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it
-
LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Ryton, England@virginmedia I have a problem with my red button not working for sky sports football not working, how can I get this issue resolved please
-
Ceeb 🏴🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England@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.
-
Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.
-
David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help
-
Edan Kidd (@KiddEdan) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia two nights in a row the internet goes down, yous are a bag of shite
-
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!)
-
liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia basically I can't do anything on the stream box comes up contact customer care I do then I get absolute no were...look I understand everyone has teething problems but this needs sorting ASAP because different when you need the money I ain't paying for something I can't use said
-
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
-
CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England@virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?
-
Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandHello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.
-
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.).
-
Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandWell since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!
-
Alvin TX Fernandez (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia hi I need to cancel an engineer appointment but clearly you've made this difficult to do. Any thoughts?

CMDR Andy Fireblade Muza (@andymuza) reported@virginmedia why is it when a contract ends you remove all previous offers instead of automatically giving the loyal customer the best offer you can do? Also why don't you contact the customer about it instead of just increasing their price by a large amount. What a joke.
-
russell elphick (@saabturbocab) reported@virginmedia The team were awful, offered£25 and you took £900 over 4 months. Shameful.
-
not jay (@notjay92349724) reported@FuzziePieRat @virginmedia then their ignorant staff told me to go **** myself and hung up. I rang back and filed a complaint. Later that afternoon, got an email through to say complaint has been CLOSED! Left VM, never going back till they change their customer service agents
-
Martinayres65@outloo (@Martinayres65o1) reported@virginmedia are you gaslighting me. 6 days without broadband or TV and you still haven’t done anything to resolve the issue. I live in a city so it’s not as if I’m in the middle of nowhere making it difficult for you to resolve the issue
-
entrustTMF (@entrustTMF) reported@virginmedia Seems fair comment-they aren't sensible! Googled "how effective making complaints to @virginmedia is" and came up with some very negative feedback culminating in: "customer feedback AND regulatory data suggest their handling of complaints is often seen as inadequate" Oh dear🙁
-
Alex MacLeod 🌻 (@AlexMacLeod9) reported@spudbishop666 @virginmedia I was a VM customer for 30 odd years but ditched them recently because of price and customer service. Last price hike took me package to £235 a month. Now with EE at £86 a month for similar TV and broadband package but no landline phone which we didn't use anyway.
-
ALOYSIUS UCHECHUKWU ASOGWA (@AloysiusAsogwa) reported@virginmedia Just a quick question, are you guys having issues. I have been trying to contact the support team for 3 days now to no avail. What is going on

Spamhaus (@spamhaus) reported@orange 151.217.0.0/16 AS62016 AS198198 AS42987 AS22879 AS199524 AS62016: Virgin Media 🇬🇧 AS198198: Telefonica Global Solutions 🇪🇸 AS42987: Virgin Media 🇬🇧 AS22879: Sirus, Inc 🇺🇸 AS199524: Gcore 🇳🇱 Location is Chicago. However, this case is slightly different. 151.217.0.0/16 is a "bogon", which means the network is not assigned to anyone at this time (and so nobody should be using it). After the first announcement, new (presumably fake) carriers were inserted into the BGP path as a decoy. The general modus operandi suggests that this is the same gang in action

Lord Kieran J Ball (@kbally23) reported@virginmedia is there an issue with priority tickets for Joan jett it just wont load for buying in Leeds #o2priority
