    @virginmedia Come on Virgin, give us some feedback. What's the issue with the WiFi in the NE10 8WH area. Mine seems to have gone off completely now. Loads of people in the area complaining of same issues all across social media.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Ralph_Hapschatt 🇻🇦🇮🇸Ralph Hapschatt (@Ralph_Hapschatt) reported

    Automated scam call. "You have been charged £79.99 to renew your Amazon Prime account. Press 1 to cancel." @virginmedia @AmazonUK

  • GBlunty Gary Blunt (@GBlunty) reported

    @virginmedia I'm getting messages saying my mailbox is unavailable and to ring. The automated line has no email help. Can you help me?

  • PdunnPaula Paula Dunn (@PdunnPaula) reported

    In the last 2 days my internet and TV have been off more than on! So frustrating! Please sort it out @virginmedia The 150 service is useful but gives limited information or assurance 😮‍💨

  • HoskinsJW Jacki Hoskins (@HoskinsJW) reported

    @virginmedia I Call that number every day - no resolution

  • jim_dawes James Dawes (@jim_dawes) reported

    @virginmedia Apparently there is a 'complex issue' which your engineers are working on - this is incredibly vague. Where is the estimated timescale to fix the problem? You are costing people like me money as we endeavour to work from home. It's just not good enough.

  • anxious2secure 🌎 (@anxious2secure) reported

    If you’re thinking of @virginmedia DONT DO IT. They’re customer service is appalling. I’ll prove it by their response to one of these tweets. Just repetitive unhelpful rubbish.

  • titlerequired Robert Pearman (@titlerequired) reported

    Wonder if @virginmedia outage is also being caused by Certificate Expiry...

  • tazy201 tarren shaw (@tazy201) reported

    @virginmedia @EGX Can’t wait to leave virgin media shocking service in my whole area and no one bothers so sort main issue out

  • DesmondMandi Mandi Desmond (@DesmondMandi) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been through all that via various ‘pictures” on your webchat! Useless service

  • Debbie09640295 Dougiefresh (@Debbie09640295) reported

    @virginmedia @andriagV I ended up speaking to 3 different people the same day to make a complaint of how unfair I am being treated and Calle numerous times beforehand and they still didn’t put me in a better Internet speed without wanting to charge, for which I’m paying enough for anyway.
