    @virginmedia Hi spoke to Customer services was told IT would get email sent out to me. 3 days later still no email to verify my email address so I can log into my online account.

    @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.

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @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

  • Stevedey
    Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported from Newburn, England

    @GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.

  • 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.

  • liamsholder91
    liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Ain't happy with @virginmedia cancelled the TV months ago and yous are still charging me for it only just noticed just checking on the bill online now this isn't the first its the second wtf man really i have phone and broadband I'm want out keep the money you've taken 🤬

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

    @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

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

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

  • liamsholder91
    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 ?

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Internet connection is intermittent in NE34, has been since at least Saturday. Connection drops at random. Have just restarted router again as I'm working from home & need to be online, no idea how long this will last. Not the only one having issues.

  • Look_North
    Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • maxinetennet74
    Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported 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.

  • RobbyRSSRobot
    Robby #CelebrateNeighbours (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

  • ZicoPete

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

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

    @virginmedia No help needed, thanks - just praising the deal I was given last night 🙌

    @virginmedia yeah did that. it says all fine. no issues .... yet a quick scan of social media ( not using virgin broadband obviously, reveals there's an outage in my area .... perhaps you should move your status checker to another provider? It's going to 24 hours apparently. great service

    Julian (@Dadcrusher) reported

    @virginmedia Customer service with Virgin is again a nightmare. Started an online conversation at 10am and haven’t from Mahir in over 30 minutes.Obviously they feel that my time doesn’t matter as much as theirs.

    @virginmedia hi guys, Any sign of the virgin hub 5 being available to send me? I was told I could have one around 6 months ago after a long conversation but never heard anything since! Regards Duncan

    HitmenAndHustlers (@HitmenHustlers) reported

    @virginmedia please can you contact me? I keep getting passed around by the automated phone line, every single day, my WiFi will go down, only for a minute or 2, but it is a MAJOR inconvenience when im working from home, and lose connection to clients.
