Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….
-
liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia I'm definitely filein complaint 15 days without no TV and 2 kids is really hard work its either that or I'll go with someone else
-
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.
-
Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?
-
Craig Smart 💙 (@CraigSmartUN) reported from Gateshead, England@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.
-
Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia I’ve looked & it’s no help
-
Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandWhat 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.
-
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.
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.
-
Mike Moody (@classicm) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia All my tv, broadband and phone services are down. Nobody available from Virgin to help. Done all the usual checks and still off.
-
Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia what channels do I need to go down for a stable connection check in my area, two days in a row internet keeps dropping not ideal when working from home. Thanks.
-
The Geordie Villan (@geordievillan1) reported from South Shields, England3rd dayin a row on hold to @virginmedia to cancel my TV package and again its over 45mins no answer. Shocking customer service like.
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.
-
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!
-
Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia She’s sent me a service receipt out
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)
-
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
-
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.
-
LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England@virginmedia In October agreed new contract, came to install last week got new router and have since cancelled the packages that was agreed. I am now been charged more and getting less services. Tried to resolve last week over the phone & not no further forward so just want to cancel now.
Virgin Media Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Matt West (@itswesty) reported@virginmedia Residential I've had 4 calls that have cut out after a few minutes and I've had to cancel a project. An engineer is coming out tomorrow. Not going well...
-
Jackmeough1 (@Jackmeough7058) reported@Benleo @virginmedia Left 08/23. Landline wasn't working for 12months+. Indian call centre kept promising engineers that never came. Online logs of issue were cancelled automatically after 28 days 'You haven't been back in touch, assume issue is resolved'. I was a customer over 20yrs. ******* useless
-
Ben Leo (@Benleo) reportedWhat this comes down to is Virgin Media not wanting consumers to be able to skip adverts anymore using pause and rewind live TV. I assume they get more from advertising money when people are forced to watch adverts on their streaming boxes. Fine, I understand that. But lying and misselling and treating customers like this in order to achieve that is unacceptable.
-
gogzy (@gogzkerr) reported@Benleo @virginmedia Wierd. Ive been a virgin customer for probably 15 years and had no real issues.
-
stepHen (@UTLR1888) reported@virginmedia Do you require any further help?
-
Danielius Beliauskas (@DBeliauska40488) reported@Benleo @virginmedia Ive also had horrible customer experiences with Virgin. Clue is in the name - havent done it properly before and bad at it
-
anubisgate (@anubisgate1977) reported@Benleo @Iwontcalmdown @virginmedia They really are the worst company got rid of them finally but they still kept taking money.
-
Frantruth 🏴 🇬🇧 (@frantruth) reported@Benleo Trouble is, Virgin Media isn't British owned. Regardless, it should be written into law that if you provide telecommunications to British customers, the call centre serving sales and customer service must be based in Britain.
-
Jeremy Burrows (@JezDons) reported@virginmedia my tv & broadband services are down in the DN6 7 area of Doncaster. Is there an outage?
-
BigK (@KelvinFavell) reported@virginmedia is there an issue sending out a 360 upgrade box? Told it takes up to 7 days. It is now 12.
