• 
  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 2 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

  @virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help

  Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported 4 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

• 
  David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 10 minutes ago from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  @virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

  @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported 18 minutes ago from Shiremoor, England

  @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

• 
  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 19 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @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.

  LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 24 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.

• 
  Craig Smart 💙 (@CraigSmartUN) reported 25 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  @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.

  liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported 33 minutes ago 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

• 
  Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported 33 minutes ago from Newburn, England

  @GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.

• 
  LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 36 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

• 
  Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported 38 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

• 
  David (@Dave_is_Elvis) reported 42 minutes ago from Boldon Colliery, England

  @virginmedia checked your outage tracker and says all services good on the area. Been without internet for nearly an hour. What is going on?

• 
  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 45 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

•

• 
  Phil Byrne (@Chickawacka) reported 55 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  @virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

  Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported 55 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!

  @Hank83416250473 @virginmedia Always go here to report it myself. It’ll usually tell you if there’s an issue in your area and when it’s likely to be fixed

• 
  Jo Broughton (@BroughtonJo) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia No WiFi since Wednesday, apparently Engineers are ‘working hard to resolve the issue’ except having driven the entire area…no Engineers working anywhere? just want an honest answer to what’s going on and when it’s going to be fixed

• 
  roach!! 🧀 INDONESIA IN 4 MONTHS!!! (@LORDCANTl) reported 8 minutes ago

  @virginmedia hey. can you explain why our virgin tv suddenly decided to become "cogeco" and insist we're in canada when we very much live in the uk and have never been to canada? we cannot access any streaming services.

  Cal (@CNeto97) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia need help M217NS , WiFi down, landline down no way to call keeps disconnecting me on call and your team can’t hear me need to sort this asap

• 
  Addy (@iadnan9) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia @AlloquiStrix Reported an issue 2 months ago and only just received a response. The advice given was unhelpful, careless, and frankly unprofessional. The issue is still ongoing with Now being told it could take another 28 days for a follow-up. Completely unacceptable and a waste of time.

• 
  Jane Samuels (@janeamanda67) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia our television signal has been awful since Tuesday. Picture is pixelated and scrambled. I’ve phoned customer service 4 times! Today I have been told the issue won’t be resolved until next Friday! Totally unacceptable

• 
  Ruth Payne (@ruthmpayne) reported 17 minutes ago

  @TelfordMemories @virginmedia We’ve had no WiFi whatsoever for the past 48 hours now in Birmingham B16, awful customer service from the call centre too!

• 
  James Norris (@nozzla) reported 20 minutes ago
