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.
-
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

Georgina McGowan (@seldomseenkid16) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia can you help with my phone services not currently working

-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia No help needed, thanks - just praising the deal I was given last night 🙌
-
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.
-
liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England@virginmedia trying to pay my Internet bill and its saying all my information is wrong??can you help
-
NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandTime for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.
-
JOP (@40yearsofhurt) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.
-
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!!
-
Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported from Chester-le-Street, England“You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia
-
liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England@virginmedia won't even let me over the automated service
-
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
-
Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandHello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.
-
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.
-
Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England@OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.
-
Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia I have to wait 24hrs & call back not only is the red light an issue, the WiFi has now stopped working!
-
Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia She’s sent me a service receipt out
-
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.

-
Drew #KroenkeOut #ArtetaOut (@Andrew70265613) reported@virginmedia The problem is the constant disconnection, not the speed. Almost every single day of the week Virgin will go down. Now you want a £240 early disconnection fee. Im not going to give up on this. Even if it means contacting you via every social media platform. This is a joke.
-
Caroline 🌧 (@CazzEtherington) reported@virginmedia Hi, WiFi is very patchy today. Do you know if there any reported issues in Darlington DL3?
-
Ian Johnson (@ianjohnson1965) reported@hildreth_roger @jbanningww1 @virginmedia I can only agree Roger, customer service nightmare 😳
-
mechanicalhound (@mechanicalhoun5) reported@virginmedia So it’s now been 6 weeks without internet that you said you would set up @virginmedia I rang your “customer service” yesterday and was told the outside works to install wires would happens yesterday 1/
-
Barnesy 🏴⚽️🏉🏏🥊⛳️🏌🏻♂️ (@BarnesymMartin) reportedGood morning @virginmedia so it is fight me for Anthony Joshua. If I pay for the pay-per-view event. Will I get the undercard this time because the last time I paid for a Joshua fight the service you provided was damn right out of order #JoshuaUsyk @EddieHearn
-
Drew #KroenkeOut #ArtetaOut (@Andrew70265613) reported@virginmedia @petetong @Carl_Cox Horrifically awful service, need to be contacted, been on the phone for 1 hour, put through various people - JUST WANT TO CANCEL MY CONTRACT. NOT PAYING £240 WHEN YOU CANT PROVIDE AN ACTUAL RELIABLE INTERNET CONNECTION. IM NOT GOIG AWAY.
-
Lee Marlow (@LM_Marlow) reported@virginmedia hello - no Virgin tv at all today in Le67. Can’t log in to my account because I’m not “the primary account holder” (I am the primary account holder) This happens every month with your broadband - I hope it’s not going to start with the tv service, too.
-
justin macleod (@justinmacleod) reported@virginmedia why do you think it’s acceptable in an age where we are all working from home, to decide to in your words make updates to the network from 9am - 3pm. Why couldnt the upgrade be done at night to lessen the disruption
-
Marketing Pro (@MarPro_UK) reported@virginmedia Yes, but married, same address, there's no data issue there. It's just an excuse.
