Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Internet connection is intermittent in NE34, has been since at least Saturday. Connection drops at random. Have just restarted router again as I'm working from home & need to be online, no idea how long this will last. Not the only one having issues.
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@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.

Mike Moody (@classicm) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia All my tv, broadband and phone services are down. Nobody available from Virgin to help. Done all the usual checks and still off.
-
Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England@OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported from Whitley Bay, England@Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently
-
Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

-
Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England@markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

-
Mike T (@Tutts558) reported@fia I can rewind my Virgin Media to show you Max breaking the rules. Why can't you ? It effects the result, and other teams responses to what you do. You clearly favour him. Terrible decision.
-
bob cain (@bobcainffc1971) reportedVery angry this morning after receiving a call allegedly from @virginmedia threatening to switch off my cable TV. Assuming it is a scam but if not it is a disgrace which @Ofcom should stop. Had my current TIVO box for 9 years and been a cable customer for 30 years.@danfrancis02
-
Shakermaker (@jonno153) reported@virginmedia hello, I’ve been having WiFi problems for some time now. I already have a WiFi pod in the home but if I move it then we get another dead spot. I have called about this but was told that I need to have a speed test below 30mbps.
-
twocakesdakes (@2cakesdakes) reported@virginmedia why does your call centre phone me about 3 times a day then just hang up when I answer?
-
Ian Scott (@IanScott_01) reported@virginmedia I have emailed the ResolutionsTeam this morning regarding an ongoing issue. Does this email get monitored and can I expect a call back from them?
-
Diplo (@loldiplo) reported@virginmedia Do you not think the first thing I checked was your website for checked outages and all you tell me to do is book an engineer which you then tell me I have too wait another 2 days to get one??? So that’s 3 days of service you’re not providing of which I pay for.

Pete Bradbury (@PeteBradders) reported@virginmedia @DisneyPlusUK I have been a customer of yours for 25 years and upon the most recent contract renewal, you denied the package I opted for because it was for 'new customers only' and then went on to charge me with a bill for £124! A colossal 34% increase! Loyalty means nothing!
