    EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever

  • 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.

  • VictoriaBarry82
    Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I’ve looked & it’s no help

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 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

  • modelnicola
    Nicola (@modelnicola) reported from Peterlee, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia paperwork completed by my other half for court. Not a single follow up from Virgin. Please RT what a shambles this company and their contractors are. Accepted fault for damage at the time but won't pay up for repairs. Spread the word. Retweet this!

    @_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

  • vitosauras
    🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

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

    @BurnleyJo @virginmedia Yea they’ve got issues with certain channels

  • 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

  • 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.

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported 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

  • pumbingchap
    Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

    W. W. L. D. ? He'd stay at home. (@RobLow_7) reported 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.

  • Deggsytweets
    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!

  • VictoriaBarry82
    Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia She’s sent me a service receipt out

  • CazzaW

    @virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?

  • 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.

  • Ed6114
    Ed61 (@Ed6114) reported

    @virginmedia and now the screen has locked up and won’t do anything. I want to cancel my contract and go to SKY, but also want to speak to a person in the UK while doing so, no disrespect to anywhere else

  • andrewstevo39
    Drew Stevo (@andrewstevo39) reported

    @gblondon1 @skytv @virginmedia Yeh its a shame Sky dont reward loyal customer with cheaper TV and broadband. Fantastic offers for new customers but totally agree, loyalty should be rewarded

  • Georgialisa
    Georgia Lisa (@Georgialisa) reported

    @virginmedia you’ve put the price of my broadband up yet the connectivity is worse - I cannot get connection upstairs in my house and my devices hive/ring etc are no longer working and you have no contact email on your website - poor service

  • SallyBriars
    Sally Briars (@SallyBriars) reported

    @virginmedia what is going on in Leicester LE2 to not have any service? done every troubleshooting step and my router comes back on my phone just says connected without internet nothing is working! One minute the service status is fine the next it says intermittent signal fix it!

  • F1Arsenil
    ArseF1 (@F1Arsenil) reported

    @virginmedia customer service has to be one of the worst! You ask to remove packages and they instead put you on a different contract without your consent! Monthly bill goes from £70 to £181 and they can’t explain how after 3 calls! Horrible just horrible

  • Laitty
    Graeson Laitt (@Laitty) reported

    @VirginMedia 2/2 I have done everything available to me as a customer, yet these emails continue to arrive. At what point does the provider step in and improve the filtering? Can somebody please investigate why these messages keep getting through?

  • Welshcake74
    welshcake74 (@Welshcake74) reported

    @virginmedia Yes. It was the bereavement team that have the most awful and length process. So I’m doing it online. But I still had to wait on the phone and have the cancellation of contract spiel even though we aren’t cancelling. Just a poor process and no consideration for the customer

  • GrangeAdele
    Adele Grange (@GrangeAdele) reported

    @virginmedia @CLangley16 @virginmedia I’m the same, this has been on and off now for weeks! I pay a fortune each month and never get a week where there is no issue. I was supposed to get a discount before and it was never processed off of my monthly bill

  • K6_Grimm
    Grimm (@K6_Grimm) reported

    @virginmedia why have you sent messages saying the issue in ne8 is fixed? when it clearly is not, even checked with the neighbours.
