• 
  W. W. L. D. ? He'd stay at home. (@RobLow_7) reported 4 minutes ago from Sacriston, England

  @OffMyNoodles @virginmedia Many years ago, the way @virginmedia treated me, I vowed never to have anything to do with them from that day. Never have done, never will do.

  LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 6 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

  NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 10 minutes ago 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.

  @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!)

  @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

• 
  Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 20 minutes ago 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

• 
  Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 21 minutes ago 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

  @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!!

  Sam (@purplelime) reported 30 minutes ago 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

  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 37 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 38 minutes ago 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.

  @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.

  z (@ogerreyn) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia do you not have reasonable adjustments in place for disabled people? I visited a shop today and was told by the manager that they do not and just kept saying I have to phone a number. It seems like your company is only interested in grabbing money regardless service

• 
  TinaThomas (@haditaminuteago) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia our internet has gone down, AI bot says we need a new hub and will send one in 3 to 5 days . Will I get a refund for the days I have no service?

  101FXK101 (@EricBlair820643) reported 11 minutes ago

  @kcpollock They do the very same thing in Ireland. Except the music makes you irate. They expect you to silently acquiesce to their recording. So when I have to call them, I record them but do not tell them I’m recording the call. You can be left waiting for 1 hour. They will then raise the phones hand piece from the cradle and you have to go thru’ the entire press 1 if you’d like us to speak in your left ear, press 2 if you’d like us to speak in your right ear, press three if you’d like us to speak softly, press 4 if you’d like us to speak in both ears. They are always busy, even in little tiny Ireland. I cancelled Virgin media because the hung up on me three times. I told them that this is the very last time you’ll ever hang up on me. And I cancelled my subscription.

  @virginmedia @DanStev14730264 Your customer service is as shocking as your wifi right now!! I’ve also been without wifi for the past week & keep being told there’s no issues!! Sort it or expect to lose a tremendous amount of customers as this is beyond a joke now

  @virginmedia what an appalling service you provide 😡 customer experience is shocking and only getting worse. Teams don’t talk to each other and complaints process is laughable. Get me to Sky. #terrible
