    @k_faulkner @virginmedia @jimconey I only got offered the new customer deal 20 days into my 30 day notice period after actually quitting! By which point I'd already signed up with someone else

  • lbschmee Liam Bowering (@lbschmee) reported from Gateshead, England

    Hi @virginmedia, I have recently signed up for your WiFi package. However the Webpage when I try to register for a My Virgin Media account appears to be broken. Is there any other way to register for an account online? Thank you

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Why is @virginmedia customer service so unrelentingly bloody awful?? Still no call from an engineer, told replacement TiVo box would come by post for it to come out by courier and get notified of this 20 minutes after the delivery window has started and I was at work 😡

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Excuses excuses but no resolution how long will it take 2 days since incident raised and waiting for contact back as instructed why would I waste my day calling incompetent people when someone is trying allegedly to sort it Same old crap customer service

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Customer service non existant

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No customer service just ignore customers

  • chriswadehome Chris Wade (@chriswadehome) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia how do I manage the devices registered to the virgin tv go app. Online help not any help

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I suggest you feed this back to Customer Service as I very much doubt I'm the first customer who's been misinformed on this. The engineer was supposed to be calling about my ongoing intermittent service issues, with both TV and internet.

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia There is no webmail to log on says try later - for 5 weeks Absolute shocking service

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

    @virginmedia Still down now, can work from Catch Up or my recordings, but nothing live as there are no channels. Drop outs in WiFi too. Not great.

  • vanderpijpen ChrisV2theP™ (@vanderpijpen) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia Yeah because they couldn't get it to work so my problem was hardly resolved!!!!!!

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Okay so why was I told it would be coming by post in 5 working days and why have I still not had a call from an engineer? Kind of my main issues and you can't blame Yodel for them!!

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Why can't you just deal with by dm and resolve the issue

  • Deborah24780132 Deborah Gibson (@Deborah24780132) reported from Newburn, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia sort your employees out, two days in a row they have called me and hung up when I asked them to remove my number from your system. Poor customer service !!!!

  • Markticus 𝕭𝖎𝖌 M𝖆𝖗𝖐𝖇𝖔𝖜𝖘𝖐𝖎 (@Markticus) reported from Consett, England

    @virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia After speaking to yet another member who stated they couldn’t do anything about it, I said I was going to cancel so I was transferred. The guy I spoke to was for once someone I could understand, he was able to sort my issue out in 10 minutes after being on the phone for 1 hour

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

    @virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • cipriano_crasto Cipriano (@cipriano_crasto) reported

    @virginmedia service poor, tried to get hold of someone for last 8 hours yesterday. The call centre staff are clueless. No service, no broadband, No TV or Phone. Can’t WFH or do exams from home. Virgin media can’t help as usual when we pay hundreds of pounds every month.

  • mattjread Matt Read (@mattjread) reported

    @virginmedia internet once again in Bournemouth is a joke. Consistently rubbish, slow speeds, awful customer service and nothing ever changes. You will still take your money and off you go. Can’t wait for my response from your not and lack of human interaction..
