  Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported 2 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

  Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported 3 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  Hello @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.

  Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported 15 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!

• 
  David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 17 minutes ago 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

• 
  Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported 19 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 23 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  A week of no issues after a month of next to no tv and now it starts all over again. I have sound and the guide but just a black screen on every channel. So glad my contract is up, deffo going to be leaving this time. Waste of time and money!!!!! @virginmedia

• 
  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 27 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.).

• 
  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 33 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

• 
  NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 33 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.

  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 37 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  On hold with @virginmedia for 20 minutes then they decided to cut my call.. great service. 👍

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 42 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

• 
  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?

• 
  Mike Moody (@classicm) reported 46 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.

• 
  Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported 60 minutes ago from Walker Gate, England

  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.

  @MariaPIreland @longlostfamily @virginmedia Yes Maria. Too many left this world never knowing a sense of belonging, There was no paper trail and DNA had not advanced to provide heritage. Even today it is difficult to gain answers and Government appear eager to ignore

• 
  JHenderson (@j_henderson__) reported 9 minutes ago

  @virginmedia since 9.15pm yesterday we’ve been without tv & internet, now they’ve just text saying 2pm tomorrow to be fixed. Nearly 2 days to fix an issue is disgraceful customer service. Again we’ll be looking to switch to Sky or BT. Virgin Media are useless.
