  • Neil_Rivelino Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia my V6 boxes have stopped communicating with each other (in reality downstairs is talking to upstairs but not vice-verse). Anyone who can help?

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

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

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

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

    @virginmedia Can I win a TV service that works (Thursday 2nd Dec it's been off since) , or internet with no huge drop outs please? Or a link that works to fix anything. #AllIWantForChristmasistheserviceipayfor

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No customer service just ignore customers

  • 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.

  • SimonBewick Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

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

    @virginmedia Still down now, can work from Catch Up or my recordings, but nothing live as there are no channels. Drop outs in WiFi too. Not great.

  • Deggsytweets Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England

    @BurnleyJo @virginmedia Yea they’ve got issues with certain channels

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

  • 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….

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Customer service non existant

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Excuses excuses but no resolution how long will it take 2 days since incident raised and waiting for contact back as instructed why would I waste my day calling incompetent people when someone is trying allegedly to sort it Same old crap customer service

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia There is no webmail to log on says try later - for 5 weeks Absolute shocking service

  • chriswadehome Chris Wade (@chriswadehome) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia how do I manage the devices registered to the virgin tv go app. Online help not any help

  • Chickawacka Phil Byrne (@Chickawacka) reported 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.

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

    @virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

  • ianday79 ian day (@ianday79) reported from Carlton on Trent, England

    @RacingMainline You've just deleted me, but I replied straight away. I had two chats open and one was to you and the other to virgin media as I was upgrading my TV service but I said no thanks to you and not to virgin but u got me all wrong!

  • emmab1307 emma (@emmab1307) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @virginmedia So started with talking to someone on online chat who said they can’t help as I have loyalty discount n am best talking to customer care team. So I rang them explained that my contract is running out on a couple of weeks n would like to see my offers n possible upgrade

  • emmab1307 emma (@emmab1307) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @virginmedia I then mentioned about ur sky sports oomph bundle online at £46 n got told new customers only so no loyalty given n got told this was the same on media providers which again I know is a lie. So basically wanting me to pay an extra £30-40 a month because am not a new customer

  • Richardjmoses Richard Moses (@Richardjmoses) reported from Peterborough, England

    @virginmedia They haven’t tried to call on over two months now. When in you tell me they will call them never do. I think I will need to go to the ombudsman as this had been ridiculous

  • cadeharry Nightsky Ceilings (@cadeharry) reported from Euxton, England

    @virginmedia Virgin media you should be ashamed of the rubbish service still 30 hrs after no internet. GUESS WHAT YOUR NOT GETTING PAID THIS MONTH.

  • CrossMediaNet Allan Cross (@CrossMediaNet) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @virginmedia no broadband or TV for five days. Recorded message on 150 says sorry for intermittent service. It's NO service. Can a human contact me please.

  • revdmesmith Michael Smith (@revdmesmith) reported from Kingsdown, England

    ****** @bt_uk been at my parents for past couple of days. Had to reset router every day at least twice. Broadband goes down regularly. Thank goodness we have @virginmedia at home!

  • wendyburn Wendy Burn 🌈 (@wendyburn) reported from Ilkley, England

    @Frostific @virginmedia Its a known issue in Ilkley. They are “working hard”but it’s “really “complex”.

  • Lyntrick L҉y҉n҉n҉ K҉i҉l҉p҉a҉t҉r҉i҉c҉k҉ (@Lyntrick) reported from Garston, England

    @virginmedia I will call shortly. I just feel that you are pricing people out of their broadband. I am on a low income and can only just manage the cost of it at the moment. I just don't understand why the router I have is not boosting the signal

  • emmab1307 emma (@emmab1307) reported from Huddersfield, England

    @virginmedia On top of that i asked to speak to billing team because been charged an additional £8 for no reason and never got transferred through
