    @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.

    Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

    On hold with @virginmedia for 20 minutes then they decided to cut my call.. great service. 👍

    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    1 whole week without any @virginmedia, months of signal issues. Engineer has gone out of his way but having to continually wait. Hopefully the engineer booked for tomorrow turns up and replaces my now faulty equipment.

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

  • lintoniosmythe
    Iinton Smith (@lintoniosmythe) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @virginmedia your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

  • vitosauras
    🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @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.

  • ScottN1504
    Scott Noble (@ScottN1504) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Has anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible

    @Magpie24_7 Fitness levels of Virgin Media are poor.

  • NevilleLishman
    Neville Lishman (@NevilleLishman) reported from Durham, England

    5 hrs now. Just rude @virginmedia just rude. Clearly little of your astronomically charges is spent on your customer service department. It's a recruitment Sargent for @skytv

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it

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

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

  • clairekitty12
    claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia But do you understand that this is a problem in my area you were aware of ! Said it would be fixed but it hasen't ? It just needs reporting i don't need a tech to my house i beed it to the area

  • 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...

  • Carl_Walsh33
    Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia I look forward to the money off the bill for the issues.

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 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

  • 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….

    @virginmedia we are into day 4 without internet and TV! Luckily I'm not working this week as I do work from home but this has to be the worst service we've had in the 20+ years we've been with Virgin and its predecessors!

  • theRealNickle
    Time for change (@theRealNickle) reported

    .@virginmedia made multiple phone call to report issues. Promises made, problems not resolved. Fortunately, contract is up soon.

  • duke_olaf
    DÏE BLUE BARON (@duke_olaf) reported

    @virginmedia You’re charging me £52 a month and I can’t use my service absolute criminals

  • kimtaylor18
    Kim Taylor (@kimtaylor18) reported

    Apparently now it’s not me it’s a network issue in the area… again!!!! Only taken a day to figure that out 🫣 awful @virginmedia

    @virginmedia you are a disgrace!! Your service is awful 😡

  • celestialdawwnn
    Katy ☆゚.*・。゚☆゚☾ .⭒˚ 🐈‍⬛🌌🌙 (@celestialdawwnn) reported

    @virginmedia It states there is an 'intermittent signal'. Does this mean an engineer is looking into it?

  • Louiseboxall
    Louise Boxall (@Louiseboxall) reported

    @virginmedia Yep, we’ve done all that. It says intermittent service. It’s been like this over a week. Now it’s worse! Even spoke to one of the customer service people on Friday, the issue is worse and we were told unless they get 360 then Virgin won’t help. Absolute disgrace!

  • Swinney_10
    Mark Swinglehurst 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@Swinney_10) reported

    @virginmedia had a text to say broadband and TV should be back on, but nothing been on since yesterday in the SA5 area, can you explain what's happening as the time keeps being moved forward on the issue checker

  • TamieOfficial
    Iraq Lobster 🦞 (@TamieOfficial) reported

    @virginmedia Yes obviously I have. So ridiculous. You even have the cheek to text that the services have been restored when they haven’t. Can’t work & can’t use o2 either because reception is non existent especially since you merged your terrible services.

  • _MeJAdams
    Joseph Adams (@_MeJAdams) reported

    @virginmedia And also - 20 years I've been with you guys - this morning was to renew - the whole experience has left me looking - I can get cheaper and not be treated like crap elsewhere
