  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  • purplelime
    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.

  • Dawnletsfaceit
    Dawn knight (@Dawnletsfaceit) reported from Consett, England

    @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 😡

  • liam_Tinybuddy
    Liam (Tinybuddy) (@liam_Tinybuddy) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia why do I keep getting texts about my spending cap I don't even have one can you please help

  • hylt64
    Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

  • liamsholder91
    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

  • 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.

  • vitosauras
    🦦 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.

  • vitosauras

    **** off Virgin Media, useless bollocks

  • 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.

  • P25_Fletch
    Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

  • PatternThimble
    Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    @bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

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

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

  • UnicornRunning
    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.

  • VictoriaBarry82
    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!!

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

    A week of no issues after a month of next to no tv and now it starts all over again. I have sound and the guide but just a black screen on every channel. So glad my contract is up, deffo going to be leaving this time. Waste of time and money!!!!! @virginmedia

    @virginmedia What are the chances of a very-light-use customer that has been with you for THIRTY YEARS getting a deal at the same cost as a brand new customer?

  • Northvein
    Steve (@Northvein) reported

  • SuddenLife
    Max Pallas (@SuddenLife) reported

    @gloucesterglass @virginmedia Mobile phone signal in Tewkesbury is virtually non existent. I can’t send SMS text inside my home, there no 5G, and I get a weak 4G on Tewkesbury bypass. Fortunately, I have good WiFi, YouFibre 900mb for £24 monthly.

  • khal_lfc
    Khal (@khal_lfc) reported

    @Bev2810 @virginmedia I moved to YouFibre as @virginmedia was just too expensive and the service has been appalling over the last year

  • DaveRutt2
    Dave Rutt (@DaveRutt2) reported

    @virginmedia can you help your call centres are useless!!! My sister has moved house as she and her husband are divorced and she has no contact with him. The ac is in his name , but she pays for it. All she wants is the ac to be in her name .. why is this so hard to do 🤬 ?

  • nimohally
    Nim O'Hall (@nimohally) reported

    @virginmedia i’ve called your customer service twice, your mobile coverage is so bad that I’ve had it hang up on me twice and then your AI agent hung up on me, when I asked to get through to an actual person

  • xhatne
    mmhmm (@xhatne) reported

    @Johnty14 @virginmedia Easy solution here, someone should invent a method to get the leaflet through the door, so it ends up in the house, but passers by can't see it so it isn't obvious that nobody is home.
