    @virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

    @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...

    @virginmedia Just realised this is the first post in a year!! Had your broadband gone down?

  • 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….

  • ZicoPete
    Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England

    On hold with @virginmedia for 20 minutes then they decided to cut my call.. great service. 👍

  • 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.

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

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

    @virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

    @virginmedia But do you understand that this is a problem in my area you were aware of ! Said it would be fixed but it hasen't ? It just needs reporting i don't need a tech to my house i beed it to the area

  • 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.

  • RevQntmBigfoot
    THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported

    @sephiroth17181 @virginmedia The actual faults were both properties (70 miles apart!) bad power amplifiers along the cable itself underground to the cabinet which required senior network engineers to come out & replace them. Haven’t used them since (2010 was last time) because they dragged feet for so long.

  • weyland76

    How do you know when your @virginmedia internet is not working? It's a day that ends in "Y". 🤬

  • bribiotech
    BriBiotech (@bribiotech) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia @richardbranson I was as pissed off as you but rather than take pain of dealing with them open the box damaged the innards reassembled and sent it to them. Would you believe it took me 36 hours of chasing them on WhatsApp to cancel the contract.

  • thisisthatian
    thisisthatian (@thisisthatian) reported

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia They're the kind of company who are all nice when things go their way When there's a problem, or you leave them, they become piss poor, ignorant and hostile After all our issues, they often send salesmen to our door asking for is to switch I usually threaten them with violence

  • RevQntmBigfoot
    THE Rev. Quantum Bigfoot ♿️ #FLTG OG Anti-RGB OAP (@RevQntmBigfoot) reported

    @sephiroth17181 @virginmedia That’s the problem I have. WAN port on the Asus router I have is only 1GbE but the LAN ports are 2.5GbE (& can’t switch WAN port to one of the LAN ports for some reason).

    @DeviateDefiant @virginmedia @MoneySupermkt Good luck trying to cancel the contract. Virgin media have been fined for not letting people leave.

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia I had this issue. I'm still with them with the **** speeds because I refuse to pay the cut off.

    @Simon_Whale @virginmedia Not had a single issue and been a customer for 10 years. And I get 1gb line which is full fiber no issues.

    @Simon_Coates @Simon_Whale @virginmedia I think so, seeing as im an telecommunications engineer. Just stating my prices like everyone else never once mentioned your "Starlink"

    @daphmc_ @Rugby_Scoop @virginmedia Not at all 2023 is in the past We have never won a QF so the last QF won’t leave any lasting impression…
