    @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

    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

  • lintoniosmythe
    Iinton Smith (@lintoniosmythe) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

    The Geordie Villan (@geordievillan1) reported from South Shields, England

    3rd dayin a row on hold to @virginmedia to cancel my TV package and again its over 45mins no answer. Shocking customer service like.

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 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.

  • adamappleby
    Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?

    W. W. L. D. ? He'd stay at home. (@RobLow_7) reported from Sacriston, England

    @OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

  • Rainbowztwit
    Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported 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?

  • CazzaW

    @virginmedia new customer ...2 engineer No Shows !! Not a great start. Try again for Wednesday. Let's hope they show this time. In the meantime please stop sending me emails to get me up and running.....that's the whole reason I need an engineer 😡

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 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.

  • paulpresenteruk
    Paul Hulse (@paulpresenteruk) reported

    Dear @virginmedia I upgraded my package last night to add TV yet I wish to cancel this change due to the price for existing customers which is nearly double to what a new customer would get… I have tried to contact through various methods to cancel.

  • scouse9000
    Darren (Dazza) (@scouse9000) reported

    @CheekyVic @virginmedia Yes I would totally agree with that! I had to get in touch with one of the directors to sort my account out! She waved the massive bill if I dropped my complaint!! We had closed the account 5 months before that! Shocking customer service!!

  • philnap73
    Philip Robson (@philnap73) reported

    @InPostUK Thanks but @virginmedia say it is with you and down to you to deliver. How does this get resolved? It does not appear to have left your depot

    @charlieldrv @SkyHelpTeam If you can move to Virgin Media. Never had a problem and always turn out rapid for the few repairs I’ve needed.

  • andyspin
    andy spinoza (@andyspin) reported

    @virginmedia Hi we’ve been plagued by problems since you introduced the new box /software. Now it’s not showing ANY Tv! Totally shocking service. been waiting for 40 mins on the phone line. Your diagnostics show no issues but we have NO Tv- our lives taken over rebooting. Rubbish

  • lionking2014
    Martin (@lionking2014) reported

    @JuanSpanishfly @LPXIOP @virginmedia I know how it works I was using voip 30 years ago!... The problem is the virgin broadband is down more often than the virgin phone line... So seems like I am losing a reliable landline line to go over a dodgy broadband one!

  • andyspin
    andy spinoza (@andyspin) reported

    @virginmedia my screen keeps having a giant error message ‘Channel Failed’ over the picture which is actually working! Anyone else having this issue? Usual rubbish Virgin customer service not picking up - waiting over 45 mins now.

  • ExpanseCon
    Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported

    @MartinXTweets @VodafoneIreland Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.

  • PeteinExeter
    Peter Miller (@PeteinExeter) reported

    @virginmedia another outage in the EX4 area. 3 in a matter of a week. Looking forward to speaking to your complaints dept. next week as I will be cancelling my account

    @virginmedia are you trying to call ref my complaint. I believe I am trying to be scammed by people claiming to be from Virgin.
