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

    LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia In October agreed new contract, came to install last week got new router and have since cancelled the packages that was agreed. I am now been charged more and getting less services. Tried to resolve last week over the phone & not no further forward so just want to cancel now.

    @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  • 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.

    @bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

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

    A week of no issues after a month of next to no tv and now it starts all over again. I have sound and the guide but just a black screen on every channel. So glad my contract is up, deffo going to be leaving this time. Waste of time and money!!!!! @virginmedia

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever

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

    @virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

  • 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.

  • Carl_Walsh33
    Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia I look forward to the money off the bill for the issues.

  • 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 Mitford, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia still no reply. Have asked 3 times how 2 claim back for our additional browsing fees incurred due 2 #VirginMedia’s incompetence & are ghosted by your ‘customer resolve agent’. great when we spoke to her, was clearly pacifying.Happy to name her & share her email here?

  • DJLKP

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

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

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

  • 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….

    @VeltisLeEvil @Thatisdiffi You wait, I guess. But with Virgin Media, my internet very rarely goes down, and if it does, I can just go outside and do something else, like go watch some movies. It's never usually out for more than 3 hours

  • keengrower
    John (@keengrower) reported

    @CVB1866 @virginmedia Good luck with this, their customer service is pretty crap.

  • Gabarillo
    Gabby Harrington-Poole (@Gabarillo) reported

    Non stop problems with @virginmedia over the last couple of months. Today is exceptionally bad. I’m unable to work from home, not great when you’ve got press deadlines. Bet there won’t be any reduction on the direct debit they take! Time for an official complaint I think!

  • MonicaAllan1
    Monica Allan (@MonicaAllan1) reported

    @virginmedia It look like our outage in NW1 will be fixed by the 31st August? Surely that cannot be correct? We have have been without broadband and TV for 3 days now?

  • 306notout
    Matt Fowler (@306notout) reported

    Abysmal service from @virginmedia today, no problem I’ll source broadband from @VodafoneUK instead. 👋👋

  • davidclbyrne
    David Byrne (@davidclbyrne) reported

    No work phone for 3 weeks, Over 20 calls to “Customer Service”, AI that doesn’t work, Technical support that doesn’t work, Incompetence at a level impossible to describe, And no call back since Monday. I’ve had same number for 32 years-until I went to @virginmedia

  • SamanthaJane_H
    Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported

    @virginmedia WHY DO YOUR CONTRACTORS NEVER SHOW UP?! 3 WEEKS OF NO BROADBAND AT THIS POINT AND NO SIGN OF ANYONE FIXING IT BECAUSE YOUR STAFF DONT TURN UP

  • HRH_Duke_of_Url
    Dadaldo (@HRH_Duke_of_Url) reported

    Virgin Media are the worst. They strong armed me into a ****** deal to take out an O2 sim for £5 a month just to get affordable broadband. Now when my broadband's down, which happens weekly, I check their online service checker and it bounces me to a virgin02 sign in page.
