  NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 5 minutes ago from Ryton, England

  @virginmedia The signal struggles to get to each room in the house. My son complains as he games. No chance of streaming music in the bathroom. It isn't a big house either. The deal I'm on currently was negotiated when I spoke to disconnection team rather than intro offer.

  @virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 16 minutes ago 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.).

  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.

  @virginmedia Hi spoke to Customer services was told IT would get email sent out to me. 3 days later still no email to verify my email address so I can log into my online account.

  emma (@ema_neale) reported 30 minutes ago 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!

• 
  LadyDi (@didixon74) reported 33 minutes ago from Blyth, England

  @virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks

• 
  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 35 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

  LadyDi (@didixon74) reported 40 minutes ago 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

• 
  Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported 44 minutes ago 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 ?

• 
  NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 46 minutes ago from Walker Gate, England

  Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

  David (@Dave_is_Elvis) reported 50 minutes ago from Boldon Colliery, England

  @virginmedia checked your outage tracker and says all services good on the area. Been without internet for nearly an hour. What is going on?

• 
  Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported 53 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help

  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 54 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported 55 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Mike Moody (@classicm) reported 56 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia All my tv, broadband and phone services are down. Nobody available from Virgin to help. Done all the usual checks and still off.

  @O2 @davehpayne O2 have went downhill since merging with virgin media, been a loyal customer of 02 for over 20 years but considering leaving when my contract is up.

• 
  Sam Richards (@mrsamrichards1) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia you have blocked my VM02 ID I’ve telephoned twice and still waiting for it to be unlocked. I can’t access any of my services mobile, tv or broadband. Can’t pay or view my bills. Your quit to block or disconnect but when customers need help you don’t want to know.

• 
  Cam 🇾🇪 (@UTDCamm) reported 11 minutes ago

  @paulivory1963 @TalkTalk trust me mate leave them, gave us a terrible service for years and was impossible to get hold of someone who actually cared and wanted an issue solved. Cutting us off half the time, switched to Virgin Media this year and was the best choice

• 
  Charmaine Rome (@eightieschick72) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Sorted out. But it would have been nice if your customer service had checked outages first before spending an hour taking me through things that clearly wouldn’t have worked because an engineer had chopped through a live “in the area” and the whole area was down!

• 
  ⭐️Jackie⭐️ (@Jakki_113) reported 16 minutes ago

  @gblondon1 @skytv Virgin Media has the worst customer service,they can't spell properly when putting your details onto their computers so your password or email address is never recognised.

• 
  Andy T (@andrewtalbot72) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @gblondon1 Good luck with that….!!! I did the same 18 months ago… after 4 months of Virgin messing up my bills I moved back to @skytv The call centres are simply the worst I’ve ever encountered A much better service imo…

• 
  Al Murray Jnr🔴 (@Borochubster) reported 17 minutes ago

  @MartinSLewis Virgin media have a call back team. You actually have to cancel your contract, then they call you back within 2 weeks and that's when you get the best deals.

• 
  Eddy James (@ImproperFooty) reported 18 minutes ago

  @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Sky is awful. Treat their long term customers terribly. Was paying a fortune for sky sports & they pack it with you tubers. I'm not paying £80 to watch some **** I can already watch for free but don't! IPTV all the way now 👍
