Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?
-
Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England@_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.
-
Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England@OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

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

-
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
-
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….
-
David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England@virginmedia I spoke to them the other day they told me that you do not record any time when the broadband drops out only when a customer calls in so please can you get this sorted out thank you
-
LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia Can I win a TV service that works (Thursday 2nd Dec it's been off since) , or internet with no huge drop outs please? Or a link that works to fix anything. #AllIWantForChristmasistheserviceipayfor
-
David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England@virginmedia I know my line is spoofed, when an incoming call from a foreign country is giving out I’m not wrong number as I’m being spoofed I am technically aware of this I used to provide support for a very large telecommunications company

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
SVJ 🦦 (@EssVeeJay) reported@virginmedia It was finally fixed at 4pm today after 6 days . I will be seeking appropriate compensation for lack of service, out of locked expenses incurred and my time being wasted having to chase your engineers and customer services
-
Jamie Friery (@TheJamieFriery) reported@virginmedia any particular reason why I received no response from your executive team for 2 days? Must say, level of customer service is appalling and I think maybe I'd be better off with @SkyUK
-
MouseMat (@andymousemat) reported@bt_uk @virginmedia @CityFibre I need to report massive internet outage in the following postcodes NE1 TO NE38 DH9 DH1, DH6, DH7 TS26, TS27, TS28 11564 - Riyadh Saudi Arabia 21442 - Jeddah Saudi Arabia Internet must be down as "Visitors" are awfully quiet
-
Therese (@Tesz) reported@virginmedia your services including your chat and your agents are hopeless. Please can I have an email address for a formal complaint about repeated loss of service
-
Andy 🏴🇬🇧 (@wos_occuring) reported@virginmedia @mobily_uk Why can’t you just offer the best service at the best price. This miserable dance goes on all over the UK.
-
John Mercer (@Merse2506) reported@itswesty @virginmedia Virgin are shocking at responding. Mine has been doing it for weeks. DM them tney send a link that doesnt work
-
Dominic Hanley (@Dominiho7) reported@virginmedia what's going on with your internet today? Just don't fancy giving the service your customers pay for?
-
Paul Parkin (@kingoftheshed) reported@virginmedia What? On and off for the past 8 days? It just went down again 5 minutes ago. Fix it and compensate me let me leave.
-
Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported@virginmedia I've just wasted 55 minutes of my life trying to talk to your 'customer services' dept. Both the staff members I spoke to could barely communicate in English, and the line kept breaking up... until it died altogether. Wasted time, no resolution, and huge frustration. You're supposed to be a COMMUNICATIONS company! What am I expected to do now? Go through that same shambolic exercise again?
-
P4J (@pri_janes) reported@virginmedia is there an issue in the TS15 area? How is one to doom scroll on TikTok efficiently with no internets?
