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
-
Gareth Miller 🇺🇦 (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia broadband down??? Ne34????
-
Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England@jmstocka @virginmedia Has to be the worst app going. It regularly says this to me despite the 47 step verification
-

It saying theres a connection issue on both broadband and tv . Tv error c139 ...i dont understand why my fault cant be logged as the origanal not being fixed
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.
-
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
-
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 ?
-
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.
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, EnglandWhy can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.
-
LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Ryton, England@virginmedia I have a problem with my red button not working for sky sports football not working, how can I get this issue resolved please
-
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.
-
Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed
-
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.
-
Iinton Smith (@lintoniosmythe) reported from Chester-le-Street, England@virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

-
Peter mcclurg (@peter_mcclurg) reported@status_is_down Yes, no TV services in North Lanarkshire for 7 hours or so. This is an opportunity for the Mumbai scammers to contact VM customers moaning online and they pretend to be Virgin media. Be careful folks it's happened to me a few times. Never reply to unsolicited messages.
-
