  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @kerouac151 @virginmedia Posh down there mind

  • GraemeBell_NUFC Graeme Bell (@GraemeBell_NUFC) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to an understanding and reasonable human please? Or do they not exist in your company? I’ve had nothing but trouble from day one and the customer service has been woeful

  • L88HRS Lee (@L88HRS) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia are there network issues in NE29? My wired connections are working fine but WiFi is having none of it on any of our devices!

  • Dancoat1982 Dan Coates (@Dancoat1982) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your response, still the same issues I’ve ran the test and it says good response but connection very intermittent on TV and almost non existent on all family devices. Very frustrating

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

    Anyone else in Sunderland having intermittent problems with @virginmedia broadband? It’s been up & down for ages but it’s getting worse!!

  • jonlane86 Jon Lane 🌈 ✊🏿 (@jonlane86) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    Wondering if @virginmedia can explain the service outage I've had in NE21 for the last 3 hours? Having to watch #NFLRedZone on my phone

  • paddyrat Paddy R (@paddyrat) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Please help me with this. I tried webchat on your ‘help’ site but didn’t get a reply. I’d written out the whole issue. Everything is always so hard with you guys 😢😤

  • HBP_Surgery_CHS Ben Banerjee (@HBP_Surgery_CHS) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone in North Tyneside struggling with @virginmedia?? Or is it just me? Keep losing signal and the TiVo box keeps rebooting. Had to abandon the National League final and now Gillian Anderson getting fruit in Room 203 of the Hilton Hotel Belstaff ...

  • AdamOnCaffeine Chilli Vanilli (@AdamOnCaffeine) reported from South Shields, England

    Can anyone at @virginmedia virgin media tell me why the internet drops out every time it rains? The technicians only want to diagnose a fault on the line to the house and they never seem to be out when it's also raining. It's very frustrating.

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Nice adverts for your content, shame my recorded delivery complaint about my issue originating in MARCH (after three failed online submissions and pointless texts) has still not been acknowledged,been ignored,treating a customer as a piece of 💩 way to go 👏🏻

  • fi_smth fi ✨ (@fi_smth) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    as if @virginmedia have a £172 cancel or transfer fee ?? even in student housing ?? where tenants change yearly ??? seems like a big scam to me

  • paddyrat Paddy R (@paddyrat) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @nowtgoodtosay @virginmedia And every bad experience you have, they make sure the next one is worse. Like a competition!

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia can someone help with getting a broadband booster

  • samiq Gilbert Corrales (@samiq) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia hey guys is internet down in Gateshead? Lost connection now foe 30min and rebooting the router doesn’t work

  • paulbanks60 Paul Banks - Tenor 🎶🇪🇺 (@paulbanks60) reported from South Shields, England

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • Raz625772 Rand (@Raz625772) reported

    @virginmedia No. Don’t fob me off to another website. Please DM me ASAP. I am a critical worker who you are ignoring. Worst customer service I have ever seen

  • LuceHolmes LuceHolmes (@LuceHolmes) reported

    When your whole street gets missed off a supposedly full estate letter saying @virginmedia will be off all day due to maintenance. I doubt the updates and maintenance will make a blind bit of difference to the service we get. Hurry up BT and get here!!

  • cheekypanda8 cheeky panda (@cheekypanda8) reported

    @virginmedia I am WFH and the WiFi is not working... how can you guys fix it please? Is this happening to everyone ?

  • natfisher Nathaniel Fisher (@natfisher) reported

    @virginmedia Hi my iPhone has died 😥 and I can't call but is there a live chat or twitter support to talk about a deal I've seen on your website please?

  • SamNevin98 Sam Nevin (@SamNevin98) reported

    Virgin Media wifi down AGAIN lmao, how can Richard Branson fly to ******* space but I can't get consistent wifi for more than a day

  • PascaleNyman PASCALENYMAN (@PascaleNyman) reported

    @virginmedia is there issues in cm2 area. My internet is down I don’t have access to the account to log in?

  • CtrlAltJess jess (@CtrlAltJess) reported

    @AlexSiddle @virginmedia We’re in the same boat as you, install has been delayed and no one seems to want to provide real help. I was offered a sim from VM to hotspot from, but it only comes with 40GB of data, which in the age of working from home, will only last a couple of days.

  • mrchall MRCHALL (@mrchall) reported

    @virginmedia Hi there is a known issue noted here. However when I run test it says all should be working. Is that normal?

  • Orange_Scooter Manos Filippidis (@Orange_Scooter) reported

    @virginmedia Well, last week I contacted the online support line twice. Twice they tweaked whatever they could over the phone. The first time it worked, but later was bad again. The second time I called there was no improvement, If anything the WiFi ended up being worse. Ethernet is good

  • jaynejones53 Jayne Roberts (@jaynejones53) reported

    @virginmedia Well it’s so good to know you look after your staff but your customers come second. It’s customers that keep a company going . I would not ever recommend you to anyone. I will look into cancelling my contract as you have broken your price promise and have defaulted on it.
