  • gazza_d
    Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

    @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

    @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.

    @virginmedia I’ve tried to use the add-on service as being a broadband customer I’m able to download to the O2 app however I cannot sign in as I do not have a mobile number and it will not accept my landline, can you help

    @virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

  • classicm
    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.

  • 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

  • purplelime
    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.

  • 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 🤬

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

    @virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

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

    Ye 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.

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

    1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

  • 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.

  • VictoriaBarry82
    Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia She’s sent me a service receipt out

  • 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.

  • StephenOld
    Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported

    @virginmedia Do something about your useless Customer Service. You used to have shops and phone lines so that I could taslkd to a real person. Your automated systems have always been uselss and now you want me to send you an audio or a video message, neither of which works.

  • geminicat7

    🛜 I’m safely back from the dentist’s 😷 (only a 6 monthly check-up and all was well) but now our internet is down and not likely to be resolved until 17:30! @virginmedia 👋 I can’t afford to use up all my mobile data chatting on social media so I’ll see you when if it’s sorted!

  • madforit00
    Have it (@madforit00) reported

    @virginmedia Had very good service for many years , however I’m due a refund which has taken over 6 weeks, many phone calls , They have lost 2 cheques in the post , been told refund been processed 3 times 3 weeks ago, And still nothing , with sky now great

  • ZachcloseYT
    zach close YT (@ZachcloseYT) reported

    Seriously @virginmedia you canceled our contract with you before it even run out just because you have sued and you raised the price to over 200 pounds a month that we can't afford and the rubbish service doesn't even work and I don't want a reply from ai I want a person to reply

  • weyland76
    m a t t (@weyland76) reported

    .@virginmedia my TV box will not record anything. Every recording says "recording failed due to a technical issue" but I have no idea what that issue is?

  • srmills90
    Steven Mills (@srmills90) reported

    @elissetennis I’ll try again tomorrow. I’ve had problems trying to watch streams through Amazon Prime via TNT/HBO with my provider (Virgin Media.) It shouldn’t be this confusing! And I can’t even seem to sign up for TNT Sports through the app to watch on my smartphone anymore!

    @eternalelneny @virginmedia Well done mate, chuck a couple of minimum wage workers under the bus who are working to fix your wifi so you can goon at home. Selfish prick

  • StephenOld
    Stephen Old #FBPE (@StephenOld) reported

    @virginmedia When you upgraded my broadband line you told me to plug my phone into my router. I did that and it stopped working. Your customer service is useless and this tweet is staying public until YOU fix it.
