  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

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

    @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 ?

    @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.

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia what's going on still nothing no data no phone service nothing sort it out

  • Chickawacka Phil Byrne (@Chickawacka) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Can I win a TV service that works (Thursday 2nd Dec it's been off since) , or internet with no huge drop outs please? Or a link that works to fix anything. #AllIWantForChristmasistheserviceipayfor

  • Deggsytweets Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England

    @BurnleyJo @virginmedia Yea they’ve got issues with certain channels

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

  • Neil_Rivelino 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?

  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported 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….

  • SimonBewick Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  • adamappleby Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • Look_North 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.

  • liamsholder91 liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia @virginhelp what the hell is going on I don't have any data no phone calls nothing help please got use my home internet

  • Mustafa_x Mustafa Kurtuldu (@Mustafa_x) reported

    @virginmedia That’s the problem, I’ve been on the phone for the last two hours and I can’t get through

  • ShumonMiah8 Shumon Miah (@ShumonMiah8) reported

    @virginmedia All I want to do is cancel and the only option is to cancel via phone. This is the most ridiculous service I have ever experienced. Very poor customer service. I'll be complaining to ofcom.

  • stephweeks5 Stephanie (@stephweeks5) reported

    @virginmedia The outcome is I’m still on hold over 2 hours now, I’ve been trying to cancel with you since the 13th January

  • only6times Big Nev.. (@only6times) reported

    @virginmedia My mother been having issues with her landline phones fir a couple of days but cannot speak to anyone....

  • only6times Big Nev.. (@only6times) reported

    @virginmedia can anyone help an elderly lady who is having phone problems with your service?

  • 4lexmac7 Alex Mc (@4lexmac7) reported

    @virginmedia You got in touch and we told you under no circumstances to cancel as we had no exchange date or move date. You ignored this, cancelled our contract despite no agreement from us and have no notice. Then we were told max 48 hrs to fix and we are way beyond it and still nothing.

  • fabparra fabiano (@fabparra) reported

    @virginmedia Is it a miracle?! the signal is back and it seems fine. I'm not satisfied yet, when I spoke to Virgin, the lady told me she couldn't help me further as the problem was in the hub and only the technician would be able to fix it. What's really going on @virginmedia? 🙏

  • Aubaccuracy Yahya Özil (@Aubaccuracy) reported

    @virginmedia There isn’t any fault in my area one thing you need improve on is your customer service waiting times

  • AmandaFarren Amanda Farren (@AmandaFarren) reported

    @virginmedia How am I meant to get any help around here? You can't help with technical issues on webchat (of I could even stay connected) and every time I try and call it says you're busy!

  • PearseEdward EdwardJPearse (@PearseEdward) reported

    @virginmedia been on hold for nearly 3 hours on my day off today. Passed through 6 different operators. All I want to do is cancel my contract. I know these are exceptional times but this is ridiculous
