    @virginmedia Come on Virgin, give us some feedback. What's the issue with the WiFi in the NE10 8WH area. Mine seems to have gone off completely now. Loads of people in the area complaining of same issues all across social media.

  • allymcgeorge A. D. G. McGeorge (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi been on hold to change package too long, online switch hasn't been working for weeks, online chat doesn't work. It's almost like you are putting deliberate barriers up

  • samiq Gilbert Corrales (@samiq) reported from Gateshead, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • _Kelpe Kelpe (@_Kelpe) reported

    @virginmedia There are known area issues but apparently i have specific issues too. The engineer won’t phone me or visit. I know you will just go through a set dialogue of tweets which will eventually ask me to text or call customer service, which then ends up with me getting ignored again.

  • JessieLauren19 Kay Kaye (@JessieLauren19) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve read a lot of the issues and seem very similar to mine, your product but you are directing me to a forum page for idea or solutions, you just couldn’t make this up, shocking service

  • Nosleeproots J (@Nosleeproots) reported

    @virginmedia was supposed to send an engineer last week monday to solve an issue which has been going on for 5 months. 12 days later still no engineer & internet issues remain 🤢

  • d_bayly Daniel Bayly (@d_bayly) reported

    @virginmedia I have to say your customer service is truley shocking and you can’t even explain how you get to a EDF is shocking. How can you expect someone to pay it when you can’t even explain how you get to it?

  • Phillilla Phillippa Williams (@Phillilla) reported

    @virginmedia why is it almost impossible to speak or even have online chat with any of your customer service staff. I have a really straightforward query and I cannot find any means if communicating with any of your team- it's really disappointing

  • cholten99 David Durant (@cholten99) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for responding. I have rebooted a few times and the cables are secure. I've also run the tests and received at 100% good response. If the issues persist I'll be back in touch about how to replace the router. Thanks.

  • staceyjhubbard Stacey J Hubbard 🐧 (@staceyjhubbard) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @virginmedia I followed the steps there is nothing wrong with the equipment and it doesn't list anything wrong in the area however at the times it goes down other people with virgin in the area who I know also experience the same issues

  • DannJeffries Dann Jeffries (@DannJeffries) reported

    @virginmedia over 24 hours without phone, TV or broadband now in Didcot. How are we supposed to carry out our work from home with this ridiculous service? Come on, Virgin!!

  • _Kelpe Kelpe (@_Kelpe) reported

    @mhwhippet @virginmedia Same situation here. Paying a fortune for no internet service and no customer service., can’t speak to anyone about it. Virgin media do not care as they have money coming in. Not good for your reputation in the long run.

  • GaryMasterson7 Gary Masterson (@GaryMasterson7) reported

    @virginmedia @virginhelp 1 hour wait to get something sorted that should have been already sorted? The link doesnt solve my problem. I should be refunded 1 months bill for the bad signal, and now for the hassle i should be refunded more. Still intermitting signal problems aswell.
