  Sam (@purplelime) reported 3 minutes ago 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.

  @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.

  @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

  Sam (@purplelime) reported 12 minutes ago 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.

  @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.

  @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.

  @virginmedia I have to wait 24hrs & call back not only is the red light an issue, the WiFi has now stopped working!

• 
  Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported 30 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….

• 
  David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 33 minutes ago from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

  @virginmedia I know my line is spoofed, when an incoming call from a foreign country is giving out I’m not wrong number as I’m being spoofed I am technically aware of this I used to provide support for a very large telecommunications company

  Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported 34 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

  @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

  @_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

  @virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?

• 
  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 50 minutes ago 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.

  @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.

  @virginmedia local outage again, is this a common thing with Virgin? It’s happened 3 times since we joined, I can’t work or study, do customers of other providers get this too?

• 
  Si (@Si_67) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Whenever I use your service checker, I get the message: "Intermittent signal in your area..." etc I go through the charade of checking the equipment (knowing it's not that) to get the stock message: "Don’t worry, we’re looking into this issue..."etc. This is all the time now.

  @virginmedia absolute bunch of amateurs, second time in 2 weeks my broadband and TV go down, trying to get an engineer visit is nothing but a ballache. I should just cancel and see you in court.
