  • Ne31phil
    Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported 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

  • KeithRwc
    Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, England

    Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

  • EmSatch
    EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England

    @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/

  • 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

    **** off Virgin Media, useless bollocks

  • P25_Fletch
    Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….

  • SharBella72
    Bella (@SharBella72) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia internet is down, again in Sunderland area.

  • 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, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

  • 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

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

    @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.

  • 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

  • stephwales_
    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 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.

  • 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

  • RobbyRSSRobot
    Robby #CelebrateNeighbours (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

    @virginmedia When building a package theres no option for recording boxes? Surely if your becoming a stream service the price should reflect that?

  • Tricky_1984

    @ToonEll @virginmedia Same happend to my mum we gave up so she's locked out of getting into her emails on laptop lucky she still in on her phone something happens to her phone she's locked out support is useless

  • DrewSheridan1
    Drew Sheridan (@DrewSheridan1) reported

    @virginmedia So no real update same rubbish that you have been saying for 3 days now !. Still no tv and if your repair time is accurate that will be 6 days ! Totally unacceptable! Very much doubt will be renewing with you your as bad as the labour government!

  • grayn59
    Nicky Gray (@grayn59) reported

    @virginmedia why is my broadband off and why does this repeatedly happen? Your broadband service checker also does not currently work.

  • IHTP67
    Anne Davis (@IHTP67) reported

    @virginmedia in GU15 postcode your services have been down for 2 days. My parents keep getting fobbed off with it will be fixed by x time. Last were told it would be 48 hrs and that's passed. No updates on what is happening. When is this going to be fixed?

  • follow_the_bear
    Bear Holland (@follow_the_bear) reported

    @virginmedia @VespaPX12570 Why no compensation for loss of TV it makes up one third of monthly payment for broadband, phone and TV services. If TV goes down for a day should get 33% minimum of contract cost for the days loss of TV service. What would CISAS say? #CISAS

  • JohnTho10402150
    John Thomson (@JohnTho10402150) reported

    @EdnaKrabapple1 @virginmedia There was a Virgin 'outage ' yesterday which caused a lot of problems including pixilating. Most channels are now fine except for BBC 3 and 4. I've not phoned 150 cos I know its not just me and i know I'm not the only one.

  • bisho32287
    Bish (@bisho32287) reported

    @virginmedia We are now two days in and it's still not fixed. Your status update is still saying that estimated fix time will be 5.05 yesterday. This is an appalling service. What is going on? I want an update and I want my service back. I will stop my next payment.

  • GrzeLow
    Grze ski (@GrzeLow) reported

    @virginmedia Are you lot out of your minds? Another outage/shutdown on N11 1BA? WILL THERE EVER BE A MONTH WHERE THE SERVICE RUNS SMOOTHLY??? You’re the worst internet provider I’ve ever had, and I’ve had plenty!

  • suemetty
    Sue Metcalf. 🌈 (@suemetty) reported

    @virginmedia my tv and broadband aren’t working and haven’t been for 3 days now, you say you will fix it on the 20/05 but I can’t even get on the app to log it, so how do I claim? NE8 3 JP
