No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.
-
Nic Johnston 🇺🇦🌻 (@Nicola_Johnston) reported from Mitford, England@virginmedia come on. You just have a good idea from the outage earlier today how long this is going to take. I’m trying to WFH with Covid. @bt_uk how long does it take to switch providers?
-
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
-
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
-
Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Horrific customer service
-
CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England@virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?
-
Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England@_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Iinton Smith (@lintoniosmythe) reported from Chester-le-Street, England@virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up
-
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
-
Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandWhat will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.
-
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.
-
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.
-
claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia But do you understand that this is a problem in my area you were aware of ! Said it would be fixed but it hasen't ? It just needs reporting i don't need a tech to my house i beed it to the area
-
Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England@virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

So the engineer wasn’t able to get to me. They came a few days later and said they would never come after 5 on a Saturday
-
waledbinkhaled (@waledbinkhaled) reportedNo broadband is in my property for last 3?weeks. Constantly calling @virginmedia everyday and they are giving me new timeline every single time. Problem is not solved but only empty promises.
-
MaggieW (@maggsfromtnorth) reported@virginmedia Why was I told that the fault at Tooting was going to be 24 hours to fix? And what's the point putting the message on X when you don't have WIFI?????
-
Rob Swain 🇬🇧🏴 (@RobSwain76580) reported@drdjmarks @virginmedia Virgins App is awful. The worst I have seen. That’s when it works. 😡
-
Josh (@Joshhhhh____) reported@virginmedia Hi, yes the loss of service is still ongoing and this is the 3rd time this month would this not go under continuous loss of service?
-
JC (@SaffaJC) reported@virginmedia been on a call for over 5 hrs. They messed up my details with O2 now I pay for an account I can’t access have no SIM card for. The most pathetic customer service ever. I video recorded at lest an hour of the conversation to upload to tic tok
-
David Cooper (@TeessideDCooper) reported@virginmedia once again internet down! Online checker says area ok! What a load of rubbish funny how all my neighbours are down as well.
