    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 ...

  • Andre_13M Dré 🇯🇲🇯🇲 (@Andre_13M) reported

    @virginmedia Initially received a call from virign to reschedule a wire pull. This is the third time rescheduling. I asked to be transferred to customer service and speak to a manager due to 1) continuous rescheduling 2) lack of service 3) lack of compensation 4) continuous issues

  • Tigers4Ever2010 Tigers4Ever (@Tigers4Ever2010) reported

    @virginmedia Still awful, best we can get is 1Mbps which is nowhere near what we're paying for! Sick of doing the App diagnostics & re-setting the router because it doesn't change anything!

  • lightinghire Party Lights (@lightinghire) reported

    @virginmedia Hello @virginmedia you’ve managed to wind me up again. Call to check on when the engineer will be here, told no booking ! Rebook again, wait another 2 weeks, now almost 7 weeks in total. No explanation given, just go to the back of the queue. Great customer service.

  • JackVsJose Jacques Attacque (@JackVsJose) reported

    @virginmedia @Pippatron2103 Same here, even via mobile data too on the service status page for E17 6 postcode.

  • honza_staniiik Jan Stanicek (@honza_staniiik) reported

    @VirginMediaIE internet down in Cork city since 11am today. Virgin media status says "no issues detected", and normal troubleshooting didn't help. Can see several reports of this outage on social media for Cork.

  • jaxonwolf Stephen Jackson (@jaxonwolf) reported

    @virginmedia I received an email to say that you would be turning on the network in my postcode in a few days, it's been almost 2 weeks and nothing. How can I find out the status ?

  • IanBear1 Ian Robinson (@IanBear1) reported

    @virginmedia I haven’t even had a connection yet and I’m already experiencing your legendarily poor customer service… I am about 5 minutes away from cancelling the whole thing before we even start

  • mar45 Adrienne (@mar45) reported

    @Virginmedia Help needed please. My TV is stuck on 'Starting Up' screen. All suggestions gratefully received. Becoming desperate. No idea what to do or who to ask. Thanks.

  • woodjamesmartin MJW (@woodjamesmartin) reported

    @virginmedia Been on phone now for 1 hour 39 mins mostly on hold, trying to cancel guy on phone keeps ignoring me and trying to offer deals. This is unreal

  • ratherbinthesun Alimo (@ratherbinthesun) reported

    @virginmedia @m4martin0 I can assure you that your phone teams do very little to help.
