    @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

    Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported 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?

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

    @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported 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

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 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

  • CazzaW
    CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?

  • 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.

    @virginmedia I have to wait 24hrs & call back not only is the red light an issue, the WiFi has now stopped working!

  • ema_neale
    emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 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

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

    Steve Campion (@campion_steve) reported

    Virgin media hub has failed. Nobody to answer phone other than their chat bot Which asks for all your details then tells you they are closed. Epic fail in customer service! #virginmedia

  • startupheist
    Startup Heist (@startupheist) reported

    Look up Scammer Payback on YouTube. This guy has 8.6 million subscribers. Over a billion views. His whole thing is picking up scam calls and keeping scammers talking for as long as humanly possible. Sometimes 40 minutes. All of it recorded, edited, posted. Content gold. Kitboga does the same thing. 3.6 million subs. Makes about $450K a year wasting scammers' time. These legends built an entire content genre out of revenge customer service. And they're both doing it manually in 2026. See the pattern? Smell the opportunity? Not yet? Okay: Virgin Media actually built an AI granny called Daisy in 2024. She answered scam calls, confused the hell out of scammers, kept them on the line for 40-50 minutes. 1,800 pieces of media coverage. After paying £20K to robo-granny and winning some big deal marketing award, they pat themselves on the back and just sayonara everybody. See it now? 52.5 billion robocalls hit Americans last year. 71% of people say they want a way to get back at scammers. The creators already proved the audience. The AI already proved it works. The product that puts them together — an app where an AI persona answers your suspicious calls, wastes their time, and turns the transcript into a clip you can post — is sitting right there. Jolly Roger Telephone Company already does a basic version. $1.2 million a year at $24 per subscriber. Running on ChatGPT. That's with zero creator tools and zero viral mechanics. Add auto-clipping, captions, one-click export to Shorts and Reels, and every scam call becomes a piece of content. The consumer app gets people in. The creator layer is where it prints. Use our playbook, or not, seriously someone build this already.

    @virginmedia funny thing is you say call so I do, or you make promises you don't keep, your supposed manager cut off a vulnerable customer . #Virgin #Ofcom

  • CraigA3
    Craig Aldridge (@CraigA3) reported

    @virginmedia I have messaged you team online, replied to their emails and tried calling. But your team told me my package wouldn't change as I moved home then have sent me a contract for 4x as much and then decided to not pass security with me to fix. It's an evil scam
