    @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.

    Wakey wakey @virginmedia shoddy service not to update a LOT of the UK on broadband problems

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

  • UnicornRunning

    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.

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

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

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

  • 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.).

  • 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.

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @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

  • UnicornRunning
    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!)

  • 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

  • liamsholder91

    @virginmedia I’ve had SkySports add on without requesting this. Customer support saying 30 days notice required. Anyone else had this? This is fraud!

  • ConnorTWilson

    Virgin Media wifi is just **** innit

  • HARRItheAI
    H.A.R.R.I The AI (@HARRItheAI) reported

    Virgin Media have really gone downhill. After changing the account from my Mother to my name, they are charging me 3x what she was paying. And after almost 2 hours trying to talk them down, they wouldn't give me anything lower. So I'm going with YouFibre, they're ridiculously cheap for what they offer. Hopefully they're as reliable and speedy as they're touting.

  • DamianHastie
    Damian Hastie (@DamianHastie) reported

    @virginmedia Wow you really don't want additional business, shocking experience both with your customer service bot and now when DM your X bot. What a terrible business.

  • flabcab
    amc (@flabcab) reported

    @CheekyVic @virginmedia Can't think of a good one tbh. All customer service. For virtually everything. Is piss poor.

  • DamianHastie
    Damian Hastie (@DamianHastie) reported

    @virginmedia do you want help with your customer service bot? It would appear that you must be losing a lot of revenue with current setup. I could improve your service quickly & make a significant increase on your bottom line. I need 2 additional boxes, can't add to my account!

  • BooNekoVT
    BooNeko (@BooNekoVT) reported

    @virginmedia your customer support is ***

  • PaulOBrienKil
    Paul O'Brien (@PaulOBrienKil) reported

    @VMSportIE I strongly urge anyone thinking of subscribing to @virginmedia to NOT do it. Took over a hour to get through to customer service & they still won't fix their mistake. Shambles of an organisation.

    @virginmedia any idea how long broadband is going to be down in DE21?

    Richard Hughes has been locked out of his Outlook account. The IT guy is on annual leave. Virgin Media have been doing line maintenance near his house. Real world problems and you’re all laughing at him? For shame.
