  • dowlo100 Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help

  • NETheatreGuide NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Time 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.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

  • purplelime 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.

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

    @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

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

    @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.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  • NETheatreGuide 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.

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

    @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

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

  • mickeywhizz 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

  • RobbyRSSRobot Robby #CelebrateNeighbours (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

  • PatternThimble Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    @bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hello @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.

  • ScottN1504 Scott Noble (@ScottN1504) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Has anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible

  • 40yearsofhurt JOP (@40yearsofhurt) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

  • NETheatreGuide 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.

  • Jimbo_S1ice JimboSlice (@Jimbo_S1ice) reported

    @virginmedia can you please explain why once again my install date has been delayed?! As a new customer this is now getting beyond a joke and I’m seriously thinking of leaving before I’ve even started

  • OhThisBloodyPC Oh This Bloody Computer (@OhThisBloodyPC) reported

    @virginmedia The call centre say "we will call you back in two hours because the tool we need is not working" They don't call vbqck. One female operative was friendly, but after 45 minutes she, like Jomil before, said "we can't change the details" She passed my wife on to a male call handler

  • spydamanz spydamanz (@spydamanz) reported

    @virginmedia I expected that that’s exactly why you have a 2 star rating (poor) on Trustpilot. I am not wasting my time making anymore complaints to your incompetent staff thanks I will just let everyone on social media platforms hear how terrible you are

  • itsbentleytv ItsBentley (Aaron) (@itsbentleytv) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah with huge respect this been going on for over a year. So I won’t hold my breath. Just do your job and fix it before someone gets hurt. As I’ve said previously. School nearby and there’s sharp edges on the cupboard. Only takes a kid to trip and get hurt.

  • OhThisBloodyPC Oh This Bloody Computer (@OhThisBloodyPC) reported

    @virginmedia We have tried to phone your call centre, and twice a man has hung up on when my wife tries to speak to him. It's her work broadband account so she has to place the order - but obviously there is a cultural difference and male callers have a problem with female callers.

  • PrettyPolley Helen Polley (@PrettyPolley) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, as per my origi al tweet, I've been on a WhatsApp conversation with various people since 9am this morning. It's indicative of the state your customer service is in. All I'm asking is consideration of the fact I have been trying to close my account for days.

  • ahrida Abdel Reda (@ahrida) reported

    @virginmedia very bad experience with Virgin media. Residential team tells me something completely different to what the business time has told me . Please help 🤔

  • OhThisBloodyPC Oh This Bloody Computer (@OhThisBloodyPC) reported

    @virginmedia Here are some frequently asked questions missing from your automated service: Why do you outsource customer support to people who are, understandably, struggling to understand callers from a land 5000 miles away in a different time zone?

  • Jake2020202111 Jake Hackleton (@Jake2020202111) reported

    @virginmedia Virgin Media we had a new fibre line fitted on the 9th of march still hasn't been fixed. Got off the phone to customer service an hour ago told me there's nothing they can do. Said they can book another tech visit but nothing is getting sorted had 4 months of bad internet.

  • stef_ann_ee steph (@stef_ann_ee) reported

    @virginmedia hi, please can you confirm if my contract has been cancelled. I never received a confirmation email and I don’t wanna call again as I’ve just spent £42.34 for 58 mintues of being passed from person to person.
