    @virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

  • gaznolan
    Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Mitford, England

    @virginmedia Ridiculous service from your team in Manilla. Both Joy & Brian telling me I wasn't able to pass security because I couldn't tell them my next bill date as the package/contract is ended even after telling them my normal date and all other DP information

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

    @virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.

  • 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.

  • allymcgeorge
    Alvin TX Fernandez (@allymcgeorge) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi I need to cancel an engineer appointment but clearly you've made this difficult to do. Any thoughts?

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

    @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

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

    @virginmedia disgusting slow speeds AGAIN in NE27 Cant wait for my contract end

  • 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.

  • 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?

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

    Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I’ve tried to use the add-on service as being a broadband customer I’m able to download to the O2 app however I cannot sign in as I do not have a mobile number and it will not accept my landline, can you 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

  • RobbyRSSRobot
    Robby #CelebrateNeighbours (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

    @virginmedia I’m having problems with your newly installed service. Your chat service is rubbish & I’ve been on hold for over 45mins! This is not a great start! Someone better get in touch with me soon or I’ll be cancelling my direct debit!

  • SiGallagher
    Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported

    @virginmedia How about 2.5 hours? Fix your website and app servers!! If you’re using AI coding or agents to run it, you need to stop, the whole thing is broken. I’m paying for this customer service as part of my package and getting no support at all

  • CarlyBoo78
    *carly* RN DN (@CarlyBoo78) reported

    @virginmedia been trying to get through to your customer service line for over 5 hours in the past 2 days!!! Chatbot useless! Can’t get on the app. You have taken an extra £122.00 on top of our usual bill this month and we can’t speak to anyone about it! Poor, poor service!!

  • dancooper05
    Coops (@dancooper05) reported

    @virginmedia a door seller treads over a barriered wet concrete driveway leaving footprints. I spend an hour on hold to virgin, send 2 DMs & completed an online complaint. All with no reply. So pleased I’m not & never will be a customer

  • Emer49034181
    Emerfly66 @CLLIreland @LCovidirl. #Free Palestine (@Emer49034181) reported

    Not only that but they said they’d call me to discuss next steps . What next steps @VirginMediaIE ?!! What could I possibly contribute to solving the issue. This isn’t good enough @virginmedia. I have friends also experiencing problems with VM .

  • _HadleyGamble
    Hadley Gamble (@_HadleyGamble) reported

    @isamutlib I gave up at two hours @virginmedia will cancel the service and stop payment. That is a scam.

  • Manc_Gurl
    MancLass (@Manc_Gurl) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve spent the best part of my afternoon trying to cancel my expensive out of contract broadband. Chat just exits without on app and PC and I’ve been on hold for 40 mins on phone no one answers. Do I just cancel the £93 a month DD because that is ridiculous

  • ABalinskk
    Albert Balinskk (@ABalinskk) reported

    @richardbranson hey, your virgin mobile uk is down in Central London EC1V. Your support from @virginmedia uk support line is closed

  • CameronScotece
    cameron scotece (@CameronScotece) reported

    @virginmedia why is the WiFi so poor around Nottingham area , getting 1mb download , not acceptable when paying £60 a month+

  • p_e_l_4
    Paul🦦 (@p_e_l_4) reported

    @virginmedia is 5 hours waiting for your cancellation team standard procedure? Absolutely ridiculous customer service. You should be investigated and fined for this. Never going back to your services ever
