    @virginmedia hey guys is internet down in Gateshead? Lost connection now foe 30min and rebooting the router doesn’t work

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

  • finswimmerjohn1 John Lavender - #Speedowarrior (@finswimmerjohn1) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia We have two VM boxes for collection as we have already left your network. Can you please arrange for someone to disconnect and collect them? Thanks in anticipation.

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

  • GraemeBell_NUFC Graeme Bell (@GraemeBell_NUFC) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • jonlane86 Jon Lane 🌈 ✊🏿 (@jonlane86) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    Wondering if @virginmedia can explain the service outage I've had in NE21 for the last 3 hours? Having to watch #NFLRedZone on my phone

  • fionajohnson__ fiona johnson (@fionajohnson__) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia wifi down in NE2 area????

  • HBP_Surgery_CHS Ben Banerjee (@HBP_Surgery_CHS) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

  • schizoid007 John Lacey (@schizoid007) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Again all day issues and unable to do my work due to consistent issues with wifi !!

  • cotter78 Jamie🍀🏆☘️ (@cotter78) reported

    @virginmedia Just cancelled virgin media after 15 years as a customer over an hour to pick up the phone ,attitude of phone handler confirmed I’m doing the right thing

  • HeresTommy 𝕿𝖔𝖒 𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖕𝖒𝖆𝖓 (@HeresTommy) reported

    @virginmedia Is there a problem in my area as I cannot get our wifi to connect all day :(

  • t0riaj victoria (@t0riaj) reported

    @YodelOnline hi I'd like to make a complaint about why you've just left my new @virginmedia box on my neighbours front doorstep. We were home, driver didn't knock just dumped it next door

  • MarioAvossa Mario Avossa (@MarioAvossa) reported

    @virginmedia As for the "customer", I am assuming you mean me. I was the customer. I live in the top floor of a block of flats and all the cabling for VM/Sky/aerial are all behind that faceplate that the cowboy VM engineers took off and replaced with this.

  • JonnyStirling Jonathan Stirling (@JonnyStirling) reported

    @virginmedia The broken myvirginmedia signup has been messaged to IT. But after two days nothing has happened: no contact from IT, no resolution. How can I trust a tech company who can’t do the basics?

  • mountnessie Rob Watkins (@mountnessie) reported

    @virginmedia Yes...we already did... and ordered the additional box on the understanding someone could help within 5 days... a promise that disappeared

  • pcarpo pcarpo (@pcarpo) reported

    @virginmedia The line crackles. I’ve been through the suggestions. I’m not an engineer so I don’t know what’s causing the problem. So I want to know what the cost is if it’s decided there’s no fault

  • Teaching1012 Teaching101 (@Teaching1012) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam received a message to offer a package to stop my cancellation. Went on the online chat and was told a 50 min wait. 90 mins down the line and still no response so looks like I'll just continue my move to virgin media then

  • sirrontail sirrontail (@sirrontail) reported

    @virginmedia I was waiting to speak to someone for 45 minutes, listening to terrible hold music, don't especially want to do that again. And my experience with the WhatsApp chat has not been great so I want to speak to someone. Can you escalate this to someone who is able to call me back?
