  @virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

  @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 4 minutes ago 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

  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 7 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

  @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

  Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported 24 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 ?

• 
  Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 28 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 won't even let me over the automated service

  @virginmedia broadband down??? Ne34????

• 
  LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 42 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  @virginmedia trying to set up online account ready for install on Wednesday, verification email expired. Clicking send new email but no email is being sent so can’t verify email. Please help!

  Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported 46 minutes ago from Washington, England

  Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

• 
  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 47 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Internet connection is intermittent in NE34, has been since at least Saturday. Connection drops at random. Have just restarted router again as I'm working from home & need to be online, no idea how long this will last. Not the only one having issues.

  Sam (@purplelime) reported 50 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia I was told to log into the Myo2 app to change it myself, but I have been sent no login details and of course if the email address is incorrect it won’t be recognised if I try to register. O2 said we would receive texts with updates on number port timeline but had no communication

  Robby #CelebrateNeighbours (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported 57 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

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

• 
  Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported 59 minutes ago 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

  @virginmedia - so you’ve just cut me off after speaking to one of the operatives for 35 minutes. Terrible service

• 
  Stu Plays XD 🎮 (@StuPlaysXD) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia honestly hindsight is great because if I had just waited I wouldn’t of gone with yourself as a provider. £90 a month for constant drops in internet / tv. Your stream box is useless. Massive thumbs down 👎 would not recommend. Should of just renewed with @skytv 👍

  mancs boi (@DjmarkieT) reported 12 minutes ago

  @TheSun @DailyMirror @ManchesterEven why is no one reporting about the fact virgin media broadband and TV has been down since 2pm friday with no updates to customers an absolute joke! #virginmedia

• 
  Jane Samuels (@janeamanda67) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia I have already done that multiple times and there is an issue in my area, which was confirmed by customer services, but taking 10 days to rectify it is not acceptable

  The Original What's Going On (@lakecitygirl) reported 12 minutes ago

  On Trustpilot, @Virgin Mobile Canada has over 2,000 reviews (≈2,089) with a very low TrustScore around 1.3–1.5 out of 5, and about 90%+ of reviewers give 1 star as well as over 250 complaints with the BBB. @virginmedia you've got a serious problem.

• 
  SVJ 🦦 (@EssVeeJay) reported 15 minutes ago

  @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

  KP (@Sep8001) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Hi, Are there some ongoing issues in the HA7 area? We seem be having internet issues over the last few weeks with no internet. Thank you

• 
  Addy (@iadnan9) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @AlloquiStrix Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste of time.

  peter davis (@leamingtonpete) reported 22 minutes ago

  @ChrisWales61 @virginmedia I had similar, they promised me a free month when I complained, that never happened. I complained again and they said the offer had expired (huh?) I record all my calls take names and times with suppliers and on threat of ofcom/ombudsman I got my free month promised.

  Sarah 😍💕 (@wiltshiregal) reported 23 minutes ago

  @virginmedia why is it so hard to speak to anyone. Received a new hub on Saturday, I've received an email to say old one stops working after 5 days!!! I can't get it fitted that quickly. Please help
