Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Horrific customer service
-
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.
-
Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandHello @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.
-
Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!
-
Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England@virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27
-
Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 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

🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England@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.
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.

liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia can you help me please everytime I try to log in the virgin media app on my mobile account it's logs me off all the time why ?
-
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?
-
liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, Englandwas in my old home for 2 year with @virginmedia never had any problems now moved into my new home TV gone off gotta wait 5 days for it foxed broadband keeps dropping NOT GOOD I know we all have teething problems bit this is complete joke
-
Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it
-
liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now
-
NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandTime 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.
-
LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England@virginmedia please can some one contact me about my unresolved complaint. Genuinely worst service I have aver received, want to cancel my contract as I have lost all confidence in your service. Over 4 hours on the phone in the last week and still no further forward. Thanks
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, EnglandYe gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.
-
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.
