    @virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

  • 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

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England

    @virginmedia You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it? Spoke 18 months ago about signal. Was told it would be looked at if I agreed to renew. Once renewed was told WiFi is not guaranteed so tough.

  • 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

  • PaulCraig24
    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

  • RobbyRSSRobot

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

  • 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.

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

  • liamsholder91

  • TheFraserPorter
    Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!

  • mickeywhizz
    Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

  • 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

  • liamsholder91
    liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia won't even let me over the automated service

  • 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!

  • seldomseenkid16
    Georgina McGowan (@seldomseenkid16) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia can you help with my phone services not currently working

  • Rainbowztwit
    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?

    Ric M. (@revoraman) reported

    @Benleo Guess what, Ben. @Ofcom after making a complaint o them about @virginmedia inertia not to resolve a service paid for monthly, took the easy way out and copped out. 'Not in our ballpark'. Wonder who owns whom? A regulator not worth the paper it seems!

  • Vikk3rs146
    Mark vix (@Vikk3rs146) reported

    @Refan80 @virginmedia Makes me sick mate ..they know the issue and just sit there being dumb and stating the obvious

  • PeteUK7
    Pete 😷 #COVIDisAirborne (@PeteUK7) reported

    @ProfChocCaXe @virginmedia Nothing personal? How much more personal than intimating you know my mother's cause of death can you be? Having gone through 3 months of trauma watching her die a slow and painful death, how welcome do you suppose your comments are? I am grieving her loss and people like you are the lowest of the low.

  • AvaniEbony666
    Rebecca Réva (@AvaniEbony666) reported

    @virginmedia WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR BLOODY COMPANY POLICIES AND VALUES?? Or doesn't that Schmitt system no longer concern you that your performances are going down ever so quickly and IM READY to leave WITHOUT PAYING any EXIT FEE

  • thebeeb_23
    the_beeb_23 (@thebeeb_23) reported

    @virginmedia Oh, I can think you should rest easy in bed knowing that this will never happen. I on the other hand have to spend every moment of every day telling people about what a bunch of front b0ttoms your organisation is and how 5hitty sticks should be deployed to keep away from you

  • britfoodfinder
    GB Food Finder (@britfoodfinder) reported

    @FastCarr_72 @virginmedia Same issue

  • ScarlettShaw
    Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reported

    @virginmedia Unless you’re going to assist me in fixing your software updates, I don’t see what you can do. But it’s a big problem not being able to rely on your box to record what I’ve asked it to because your constant software updates keeps wiping them.

  • johnson13021989
    John johnson (@johnson13021989) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia Virgin Media are literally the scum of the earth, had issues with them before. I’d rather be without internet if they were the last ISP on earth.

  • CarryOnGemma
    CarryOnGemma (@CarryOnGemma) reported

    @virginmedia this has gone beyond the pale now. You already know all the issues my dad and I have had for, well, weeks now. Dad had all his recordings deleted and now his new recordings are recording and now he’s watched part of something he can’t go back and watch it because it says the recording has failed. This has happened on every recording. It seems to record fine then changes to failed. Get this sorted and get the broadband sorted. How @Ofcom isn’t all over this I don’t know. Pushing people to take the V6 and then a year later this happens. Shocking.

    Virgin media is so bad it took me turning my phone wifi off and on again 3 times and resetting soundcloud twice just to put on a song
