  @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  @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.

  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 13 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @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 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.

  Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported 27 minutes ago from Hebburn, England

  @virginmedia please advise Reduced mobile signal in the NE31 area. The signals were fine until a couple of months ago. previously had 4g I now mainly get E or sometimes 3G this is an issue due to my elderly mother-in-law being in hospital and now very poor signal in their home

  Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported 37 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

  Nic Johnston 🇺🇦🌻 (@Nicola_Johnston) reported 38 minutes ago 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?

  LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 44 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  @jmstocka @virginmedia Has to be the worst app going. It regularly says this to me despite the 47 step verification

  David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 48 minutes ago 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

• 
  Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported 49 minutes ago from Mitford, England

  @virginmedia Ridiculous service from your team in Manilla. Both Joy & Brian telling me I wasn't able to pass security because I couldn't tell them my next bill date as the package/contract is ended even after telling them my normal date and all other DP information

• 
  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 58 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

  @PitRucker99 @Starlink The UK is not that bad. Spain is much worse. People pay €49 / month for internet. The problem in the UK is lack of "physical options" but it is getting better: 1. Virgin Media (cable) 2. BT - Telephone lines - ADSL - Fiber optic 3. Three - 5G modem 4. Starlink

  Openreach (@WeAreOpenreach) reported 15 minutes ago

  @NeilJac74898351 @virginmedia Hi Neil, Virgin install and use their own network separate to the Openreach network, so any information on our website about services you can order wouldn't apply to any Virgin products and vice versa, I'm afraid. If you wish to order FTTP, you'd need to order through a (1/2)
