    @virginmedia why is phone network not working and plus can't phone people or text tryed restarting phone still. Nothing can't even ring you guys WTAF

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

    @virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    You lot need to sort yourselves out, Internet going down around midnight for the past few days yet you charge the earth @virginmedia

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

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

  • UnicornRunning 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.

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

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

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I would like to know how my broadband and tv are still broken after the outage ? It saying theres a connection issue on both broadband and tv . Tv error c139 ...i dont understand why my fault cant be logged as the origanal not being fixed

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia But do you understand that this is a problem in my area you were aware of ! Said it would be fixed but it hasen't ? It just needs reporting i don't need a tech to my house i beed it to the area

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I did the online thing before contacting u it says needs a tech . But it doesnt it needs your outage fixed .

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

    @virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

  • 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.

  • dowlo100 Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help

  • KiddEdan Edan Kidd (@KiddEdan) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia two nights in a row the internet goes down, yous are a bag of shite

  • 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.

  • purplelime 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.

  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    **** off Virgin Media, useless bollocks

  • PatternThimble Ceeb 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England

    @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.

  • JhalaHoney Honey Kharbanda Jhala (@JhalaHoney) reported

    @virginmedia Estimate time each day? It’s been going on for weeks now. We are unable to offer the service promised to our clients by not finishing their work in time. Who will pay for the loss ?

  • PedalTrill Amanda Forsyth 🇺🇦 💙 (@PedalTrill) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks for your interest, now collecting data from different times of day. I repeat, though - it is generally fine, which suggests it is a problem caused by your supply, not my demand. I am disappointed that you do not comment on the reliability of your supply.

  • Sam_Mason93 Sam Mason (@Sam_Mason93) reported

    @virginmedia I have called twice to cancel installation of broadband services (once last night and once this morning) and have been hung up on twice. Shocking customer service.

  • rebeccagh85 Becca Daniels Ⓥ 🌿🐄🐖🐥🐶🐾☮️ (@rebeccagh85) reported

    @virginmedia can someone please help and tell me how I add the Netflix offer from volt2 to my current Netflix account? Phoned up and no1 can seem to help but my package includes Netflix in the price, was told it was easy to do yet cannot find how to do it.

  • tumble_cool +(_)/\/\%|€ ©°°| (@tumble_cool) reported

    @virginmedia cannot wait to find a clause for cancelling my broadband in the near future after the ofgem update. My broadband is always dropping out and I get better service with moblie. Think you invested too much in physical cables when the future is over the air connection.

  • valeriejroberts Lady V (@valeriejroberts) reported

    @virginmedia I spoke to Customer Relations yesterday. Please tell me what you TCF policy is? I’m very disappointed currently.

  • VMO2News Virgin Media O2 News (@VMO2News) reported

  • DeyDebobroto debobroto dey (@DeyDebobroto) reported

    Dear @virginmedia Not a happy ex-customer. Had to make a complaint as I was charged an early cancellation fee, even though it was accepted that they could not provide a service to the property. So they confirmed that they will credit the account but will only refind me by sending

  • La_Maua 🇮🇹 last_daughter_of_Krypton 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@La_Maua) reported

    @virginmedia hi guys, broadband is down in Brighton. Any chance we can get it fixed before 4pm as said on your checker link? So I can finally work from home

  • RMcCauley202 Before I forget - A dad's advice to his children (@RMcCauley202) reported

    @virginmedia Took quite long on the phone last time sadly and had to hang up (was on break at work) 'm quite content with seeing how long it takes on WhatsApp and updating you live. If it goes well then great but if not it'll help you improve.
