  • PaulCraig24 Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Rainbowztwit Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia basically I can't do anything on the stream box comes up contact customer care I do then I get absolute no were...look I understand everyone has teething problems but this needs sorting ASAP because different when you need the money I ain't paying for something I can't use said

  • PaulCraig24 Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 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

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia won't even let me over the automated service

  • liamsholder91 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

  • 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

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

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  • 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

  • TheFraserPorter Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I'm definitely filein complaint 15 days without no TV and 2 kids is really hard work its either that or I'll go with someone else

  • purplelime 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

  • 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

    @virginmedia No. No ones rang or messaged back it’s really helpful as im working away from home so I don’t have the time to sort it.but I know the problem but every question I answered to the automated messages was said to be wrong!!! I’m not going through it all again!

  • wrenchxx hollywrenchxx (@wrenchxx) reported

    @virginmedia our WiFi and telephone lines have gone down, is it just us or the whole of Putney??

  • DonBaldini Graham Ball (@DonBaldini) reported

    @virginmedia intermittent broadband issues in NE26 3HZ. Tests showed no issues and done reboots but zoom call I'm on is awful and keep getting connection errors.

  • PollyanasWorld Pollyana (@PollyanasWorld) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia have logged an issue and got an automated response saying we would hear within 28 days.. This is something I need to get sorted as it is required for my son’s homeschooling so your timelines are really not acceptable!

  • T1mmoo Timothy Shuttleworth (@T1mmoo) reported

    @virginmedia I'm trying to change my password to access my bills but the process isn't working. Is there a problem with the service?

  • ChineseWS3 Chinese Alan (@ChineseWS3) reported

    @TomDarnell105 @virginmedia Ring up - go through the options to cancel - they offered me an instant discount on my package of the same amount they were going to increase it by so I’m now paying less than I originally was. Didn’t even speak to anyone.

  • Nice_Georgia_x Georgia x (@Nice_Georgia_x) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, it has been fixed. Initially it said it wouldn't be fixed till 16:00 hrs which would have meant a day missing from school. It actually came on this morning, before school started. We will rely on a good service from you during COVID. All the best and thanks for replying.

  • OnionsKenyon Nick (@OnionsKenyon) reported

    @virginmedia Well they are not doing a good enough job as it’s happened again. How do I log an official complaint as I need the internet to work from home.

  • Jon95Reynolds Jonathan Reynolds (@Jon95Reynolds) reported

    @virginmedia awful internet connection for weeks and weeks now. Phoned multiple times, still no resolution on this. Have to wait a week to have a technician out... Wfh incredibly difficult now.

  • Marty_Caine Marty Caine - #Cromwellians (@Marty_Caine) reported

    @virginmedia Although it says no Internet I am connected through LAN as this is now from my office computer and not my phone... Could it be a hub problem?
