  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • 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 ?

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

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

  • 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?

  • 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 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.

  • 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

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @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.

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

    @virginmedia Why can't you just deal with by dm and resolve the issue

  • 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.

  • adamappleby Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia No customer service just ignore customers

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

  • 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….

  • MattBuckley18 Matt buckley (@MattBuckley18) reported

    @virginmedia Disgraceful, been without a service I pay good money for a whole day and it’s still not back up and running. “Put your number here for updates” what updates? Not had one in 8 hours

  • Lorrain04031962 Lorraine Scott (@Lorrain04031962) reported

    @virginmedia Coventry still down. No apps either. TV keeps dropping. Can we have update from CV6 2GB

  • MancunianL MancunianLass (@MancunianL) reported

    Service has been piss poor the last month both WiFi and tv. I’ve used up my mobile data (EE) twice and had to have “gifted” data from other phones - will Virgin compensate me for this @virginmedia #virginmedia

  • AspinallStuart Ian Stuart Aspinall (@AspinallStuart) reported

    @LutzSchueler @goodthingsfdn Can I ask what you are doing about those of us that have been with virgin media for years but are currently receiving daily issues with our Internet connections? Here in the M46 area the issues are laughable

  • NeilSaleMCFC NEIL ALEXANDER (@NeilSaleMCFC) reported

    @virginmedia Am paying for full package but only getting four channels its madness and no way of finding when the service will be up and running

  • HayleyManson4 Hayley Manson (@HayleyManson4) reported

    @virginmedia @BEEFY1973 You’ll only get a refund for total loss of service,been there 3 days without internet no refund

  • Di4nn3 Dianne Marchant (@Di4nn3) reported

    @virginmedia @shazcow55 Stop repeating same old rubbish 'engineers are working hard to fix it' to all complants. They aren't! The TV issues, which you said would be fixed by 6, aren't! We should be refunded for the last 2 years of rubbish WiFi & TV service. At least **** Turpin wore a mask!

  • westhamxxx tanya longden (@westhamxxx) reported
