    @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 ?

    @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.

    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….

    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...

    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

    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.

  • 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.

    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!

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

    @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

  • 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?

    @virginmedia @virginhelp what the hell is going on I don't have any data no phone calls nothing help please got use my home internet

  • 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.

    @virginmedia Yes, then it rebooted and I had the same issues within a couple of days. It’s really frustrating.

  • HarknessBruce
    Bruce Harkness (@HarknessBruce) reported

    @virginmedia No you clearly didn’t read my tweet properly. Been through that completely useless repeatedly told to switch hub on and off again. Your company said you’re checking network issues what is the latest?

  • HarknessBruce
    Bruce Harkness (@HarknessBruce) reported

    @virginmedia How do I get some proper service????!?!?

  • CameronLepper
    Cameron Lepper☁️🚀 (@CameronLepper) reported

    @virginmedia Made a complaint and was told nobody could deal with it for 5-7 days. So - Virgin drilled hole in my house without checking service was possible, I repeatedly waited in for engineers who never showed up, been kept totally out the loop, and now told that nothing can be done.

  • JHippeh
    JustSoHippeh (@JHippeh) reported

    @virginmedia Wired. And WiFi both are bad, both barely give me what I'm paying for and both drop out consistently across multiple devices.

  • sakpk2002

    @virginmedia E11 2BT broadband is down since morning. As usual Rubbish.

  • SuzaliSusan
    Susan Riley (@SuzaliSusan) reported

    @virginmedia really need a way of reporting a communal problem. Ended up with the wrong engineer, residential, when it's actually a communal problem in a block of apartments. A waste of his time and ours because there is no system for reporting anything other than your own status

  • kittenofdoomage
    ⛄❄🎄Rhi🎄❄⛄ (@kittenofdoomage) reported

    @virginmedia bugging me to pay the bill, warning me I'm gonna get charged, but when I go on the website it tells me I don't have a bill bc I'm a new customer (newsflash, I'm not) but can I get anywhere with the helpdesk? Do be serious.

  • Garmondavies
    Garmon Gwilym Davies (@Garmondavies) reported

    @virginmedia Excellent service today after our internet and TV went down on Boxing Day. Technician turned up as arranged, found a problem with the cable from the cabinet to the house, arranged for another team to come and replace it, all services back within the hour 👌🏼Thank you

  • CameronLepper
    Cameron Lepper☁️🚀 (@CameronLepper) reported

    @virginmedia Phoned through again and apparently a technician visited today and said the cabinet was not live, and it would be fixed in the new year. I was not contacted at all about this - but this was the reason the engineer was due today to fix this. No date for a ‘fix’ other than new year
