  @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!

  Nicola (@modelnicola) reported 12 minutes ago from Peterlee, England

  @virginmedia Frustrating it had to come to this when an internal investigation would easily reveal that your contractors removed struts designed to secure the fence. Now having to pay court fees to remedy an issue created by you. It's a sham. I guess you hope most people back down.

  @_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.

  @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/

  @virginmedia This appears to be a known issue on your forums (phantom calls) but we refuse to be charged for the visit. Also waiting for a WhatsApp for over an hour because the direct debit still has his late wife's name on account after 7+ years, & we can't change it online (same acc no.).

  @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

  Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported 32 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @_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

  @virginmedia Hi spoke to Customer services was told IT would get email sent out to me. 3 days later still no email to verify my email address so I can log into my online account.

  @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?

  @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.

  Sam (@purplelime) reported 46 minutes ago 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.

  @virginmedia our internet has been down for two weeks. Not ‘intermittent’ not ‘freezing now and then’. It is Off. Kaput. Noncompliant. DEAD. You keep saying that you will resolve it but we haven’t even been told what the problem is. With tears in my eyes, PLEASE FIX IT!! Please!

  @virginmedia as a loyal Customer all you want is a good service and for your Internet to be working but it’s so difficult to get through to you. I’ve lost out on a days work. If it continues I would be cancelling my direct debit due to lack of Customer Service and lack of servic

  Isla (@saoirseisla) reported 5 minutes ago

  My fave thing about @virginmedia is nothing. No WiFi for 4 days. No WiFi = no tv. Been fobbed off for days. Each day promising it’ll fixed by the end of the day. Only to turn around today and say only an engineer coming to the house can fix it. I want out of this contract.

  Adrian Jones (@AdrianTJones) reported 7 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Where on your site do you list prices for existing customers once I’ve signed in,that link doesn’t take me to it. I just get view your offers and that says chat to us. 29 years a customer and I’m expected to 60% more for the same. Prices for new customers are clearly listed

  @virginmedia spoke to your customer service not long ago and the person couldn’t understand me. Why do you hire people that don’t understand basic English sorry to say. And your services are rubbish by the way, I will be cancelling
