Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.

-
emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.
-
Scott Noble (@ScottN1504) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, EnglandHas anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible

-
liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia sorry for the late reply I smashed my phone I phoned customer service and I'm still waiting for someone to phone me iv had NO TV for about 15 days now
-
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.
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)
-
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.
-
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?
-
Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Dont wanna air my business over a feed. Asvised phone we got was outa stock. Faulty phone . Was gonna exchange bit out of stock.i had to cancel contract then take a new one out. But send phone back but wife hasnt a spare???
-
Paul Corney (@Corney77) reported from Choppington, England@virginmedia 57 mins on a call to be hung up on. Services don’t work correctly and haven’t since Oct. Looking to cancel and no one helping. Disgusting service
-
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.
-
Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too
-
Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported from Newburn, England@GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.

Startup Heist (@startupheist) reportedLook up Scammer Payback on YouTube. This guy has 8.6 million subscribers. Over a billion views. His whole thing is picking up scam calls and keeping scammers talking for as long as humanly possible. Sometimes 40 minutes. All of it recorded, edited, posted. Content gold. Kitboga does the same thing. 3.6 million subs. Makes about $450K a year wasting scammers' time. These legends built an entire content genre out of revenge customer service. And they're both doing it manually in 2026. See the pattern? Smell the opportunity? Not yet? Okay: Virgin Media actually built an AI granny called Daisy in 2024. She answered scam calls, confused the hell out of scammers, kept them on the line for 40-50 minutes. 1,800 pieces of media coverage. After paying £20K to robo-granny and winning some big deal marketing award, they pat themselves on the back and just sayonara everybody. See it now? 52.5 billion robocalls hit Americans last year. 71% of people say they want a way to get back at scammers. The creators already proved the audience. The AI already proved it works. The product that puts them together — an app where an AI persona answers your suspicious calls, wastes their time, and turns the transcript into a clip you can post — is sitting right there. Jolly Roger Telephone Company already does a basic version. $1.2 million a year at $24 per subscriber. Running on ChatGPT. That's with zero creator tools and zero viral mechanics. Add auto-clipping, captions, one-click export to Shorts and Reels, and every scam call becomes a piece of content. The consumer app gets people in. The creator layer is where it prints. Use our playbook, or not, seriously someone build this already.

Heinz Beanz (@Delveyboy) reported@virginmedia Why would they cut my service completely? They deliberately cut my wire to service the neighbour. When I questioned them, they completely denied it. And why couldn't they have fixed it on the spot? Instead of having no service? Breach of contract
-
Tidder green (@TidderG) reported@youfibre been trying to upgrade for a over a week now but keep getting passed on if the phone system doesn't go in a loop or tell you there's a application error and hang up on you and today I come home to see that I don't have the public IP i pay for going back to Virgin Media as soon
-

your views explained (@theorangecrunch) reported@TonightVMTV Genuine question here. Who is paying Shane's wages. Virgin media or the government. He is there to be impartial but he can't even hide his true thoughts. Very very poor from Shane
