    @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?

  • VictoriaBarry82
    Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I’ve looked & it’s no help

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

    @virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

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

    @gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)

  • liam_Tinybuddy
    Liam (Tinybuddy) (@liam_Tinybuddy) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia why do I keep getting texts about my spending cap I don't even have one can you please help

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

    1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

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

    @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

  • TrevorRidley
    Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported 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

  • liamsholder91
    liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia won't even let me over the automated service

  • Dave_is_Elvis
    David (@Dave_is_Elvis) reported 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?

  • dowlo100
    Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @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

  • Andymorris74
    Andrew Morris💙 (@Andymorris74) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia Your whole system is down! No access to telephone No access to broadband No access to website No access to status checker What’s going on???

  • VictoriaBarry82
    Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

  • vitosauras
    🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    **** off Virgin Media, useless bollocks

  • purplelime
    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

  • gazza_d
    Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported 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

  • cochap

    @virginmedia when do you expect to get issue sorted in the ML2 area. Virgin been down for over an hour?

  • philbigdog
    Cmdr Anaander Miaani (@philbigdog) reported

    @virginmedia my neighbour has Gigabit fibre with you, their house is 20 feet from mine yet you claim I cannot be connected to the network. Please contact me on how I can fix this ludicrous error.

  • Temuing
    John James (@Temuing) reported

    @virginmedia why does my Internet go down around 11.00am every day for 10 to 15 minutes?

  • JacquelineBolto
    Jacqueline Bolton (@JacquelineBolto) reported

    @virginmedia My private messages don't appear to be being sent. Am having to use phone data to message you. We live in Surrey. Not prepared to give my postcode here. No Internet since 5am. Independent sites say there is an outage that would cover our area.

  • ScouseBouncy
    Scouse House Bouncy Music (@ScouseBouncy) reported

    @virginmedia Not my account so I can speak you about it. What happens though is, you start a stream and then it corrupts, goes to a black screen and goes to a “Error code: COMPO” then closes. This is not network related, it’s not a box issue. It is an issue with authentication

  • GW_Mktg
    GW 🔰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@GW_Mktg) reported

    @O2 terrible signal in my own home. @virginmedia have let me down (yet again) so no WiFi equals no use of phone. Long-standing client and not really feeling that benefit. Started a DM conversation which went dead. Please help

  • DrealSMAK
    Militia Matt (@DrealSMAK) reported

    @PaulTurner140 @virginmedia Oh I know this. I did DM and they’ve given some instructions. If those don’t work I’ll be gone. Can’t be paying for rubbish service

  • AngstAHD
    Angela (@AngstAHD) reported

    .@virginmedia how are we supposed to get help/customer service? Phonelines are unanswered, the online chat goes around in circles and then stops communicating, the Whatsapp service doesn't work. Woeful today.

  • lovelylisaj
    Lisa Allen (@lovelylisaj) reported

    @virginmedia hi, my mum got a call supposedly from you about the router being slow. I took over and I don’t think it was legit. They were asking me to switch off the router and put it on again. I ended the call as I was suspicious. Internet speed is fine.
