  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.

  NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 10 minutes ago from Ryton, England

  @virginmedia You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it? Spoke 18 months ago about signal. Was told it would be looked at if I agreed to renew. Once renewed was told WiFi is not guaranteed so tough.

  Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 12 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

  @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 12 minutes ago 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

  @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

  Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported 26 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

• 
  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 29 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

  @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 ?

• 
  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 32 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

  @virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!

  @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...

  @jmstocka @virginmedia Has to be the worst app going. It regularly says this to me despite the 47 step verification

  @virginmedia If I don't it will never be resolved, so please do. As I am missing services I can only presume I will be refunded an acceptable amount for my inconvenience? I still await my refund from December when I was without service for 5 days?

  tommy gaughan (@gaughan_tommy) reported 3 minutes ago

  @Benleo @virginmedia My experience last week…..after leaving Virgin Media 2 years ago, and switching to City Fibre (Braw Band). I inadvertently cut my external cable, cutting my hedge. Phoned up, - spoke to a real person first time. They came out next morning at 8.10 and replaced my cable. SERVICE!

  Matthew Kennedy (@badcorpse) reported 5 minutes ago

  @Benleo Stay away from Virgin Media and you will be happier for it trust me. Clear someone in an office somewhere has said we can offer **** customer service that costs X from India or good customer service from the UK that costs Y and they have went with X

  @Benleo @virginmedia My experience - engineer comes in to fix box. Tells me to put 'dog away!' I say 'no, she won't come into the lounge or bother you' 'Tea, coffee?' I say 'No' 'Water, fruit juice?' I add 'Fruit, fruit' he says I return with apple & banana He grabs both & puts them in his bag 🤨😖

  @virginmedia The biggest joke of a company when it comes to Customer Service, absolutely disgraceful the way the treat customers Had a complaint on going since the 30th March and they still can’t get it right to resolve even after speaking with a Senior Complaints Manager. 😡

  Anumcara (@Anumcaras) reported 16 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I will be in touch by Monday. I’ve just discovered two layers of payments added to my credit file. Although there was no services connected because your call centre signed me up with an engineer. Knowing I was leaving the country and I needed the internet for my cctv. I was reluctant but rejoined sky and your call centre refused to cancel and persuaded me to move the account to a different address. An address that’s under renovation and empty. There’s something afoot about how all this has been handled and I will be requesting my credit file is amended with your support. Going forth I will update publicly on this thread any success or failures I have with these issues.

  We have not received or seen any further updates from Virgin Media. According to their Service Status page, an issue does still exist but the fix time has not changed. If any customers are still experiencing issues, we would recommend getting in touch with them directly.
