  • panicdragon8784 Panicdragon8784 (@panicdragon8784) reported from South Shields, England

    @BBCRedButton I don't think your red button service is working on @virginmedia. It's brings up the iPlayer but no live stuff like the springwatch webcams

  • TraiAnfield Trai Anfield (@TraiAnfield) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia @virginmedia service from you has been poor for months - missing the footie is just the last straw. Kindly send an engineer to fix our broadband - the wires at the wall outside are exposed and when we test each day our speeds are below 20MB/s when we are paying for 100+ Thank you

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I have called them twice today still having issues

  • jwilko_87 Jonathan Wilkinson (@jwilko_87) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia your internet service in Gateshead for the last few days has been terrible. Keep losing connection here 🙄

  • danieljohnallis Daniel Allis 🇬🇧 (@danieljohnallis) reported from Gateshead, England

    @lxwissssss @MartinEdition @virginmedia Mine is excellent once they replaced the wiring because it was old and now mine never goes off and it’s super fast! The English call centres are great but the Indian and Philippines ones are really bad I avoid them because they just read off scripts!

  • RWileECoyote Rob Wylie (@RWileECoyote) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia hi a few folks on our street keep experiencing drop outs of WiFi signal in the middle of the working week, a few of them have made contact with you but no issues are being found, and you don’t seem to be able to help? but there is clearly an issue?

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Its the wifi thats gone down. I am currently using a wired connection.

  • alicen0rt0n alice✨ (@alicen0rt0n) reported from Washington, England

    THE WORST customer service @virginmedia, should be ashamed of treating loyal customers the way a member of staff has just spoken to my mam

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Then when transferred to ‘customer care’ so that I could complain and seek compensation, I waited another 20mins and was eventually cut off without speaking to anyone.

  • ChrisJ94_ Chris Johnson (@ChrisJ94_) reported from Wallsend, England

    . @virginmedia rang virgin last week to move house. You've done the external install yesterday but haven't turned up for internal install today. Tried to log into my account and it says my package is cancelled no options for support at all. Called and hung up on before answer.

  • PhilNicholson13 Phil Nicholson (@PhilNicholson13) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    First day as a @vmbusiness customer and been waiting nearly 13 hours for a delivery, that hasn’t arrived… #greatstart #herewego

  • ghtrainer Gareth Trainer (@ghtrainer) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for reply. Problem was that no agent ever responded to move requests via the bot. I sat for 1hr on the phone last night and finally got it booked. If the bot had worked 1st time I’d be switched on when I move. Now I’ll be without service for a week. Not good when wfh!

  • MarkCarruthers_ Mark Carruthers (@MarkCarruthers_) reported from Wallsend, England

    What an absolute farce @virginmedia are. Pay a ridiculous amount each month for slow broadband that regularly doesn’t work. Now on to a second day with no service and TiVo is also down. Pathetic.

  • Mal_Area Malcolm Sinyard (@Mal_Area) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I seem to be having BB connection issues here!!!

  • MikeYau8 Mike Yau (@MikeYau8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia And it has just cut out again and your bot via the number above just said restart the router and put the phone down on me. Slightly concerned that it lasted 5 days again and decided to come back to disconnecting?

    @EmmaJaneWylde @Virgin @virginmedia Ok, so I'm not the only one that's having issues.

  • akeel89 Akeel Azeem (@akeel89) reported

    @virginmedia and just as I tweet you’ve hung up. WHAT THE ACTUAL ****

  • Ellismorgan3 Ellis Morgan (@Ellismorgan3) reported

    @virginmedia what’s happening in the SW20 area your internet is down? your website is useless as that doesn’t give any information to what’s going. #joinBT

  • tpembe1 Troy Pemberton (@tpembe1) reported

    @virginmedia Another outage @virginmedia ! Service has been poor this weekend with poor downstream. I have rebooted several times. In the last 30 minutes there has been no connection.

  • LewiSe7en Lewis (@LewiSe7en) reported

    @virginmedia What are you on about? I was mid conversation with a rep! Who then went on a break whilst we were trying to resolve an issue. I bet if I was to put them on hold for 15min to grab a cuppa they'd put the phone down!

  • Spursingham Glenn (@Spursingham) reported

    @virginmedia Guys, your service status page has a holding page and your 'contact us' page isn't working. I've tried texting the number and they said they'd contact me within 4 hours. It's now been 5 hours with no contact. Internet is still slow/intermittent. Can't miss the NLD!!

  • Ellismorgan3 Ellis Morgan (@Ellismorgan3) reported

    @virginmedia what’s wrong with your status checker? Not working like your broadband. Why can’t you guys just fix it or give the people there money back.

  • _Matthew_Evans_ M∆TT (@_Matthew_Evans_) reported

    @burgo_toni @virginmedia Just set up my new hub and have the same issue how did you solve this ?

  • PapaNichs Rosie Nicholls (@PapaNichs) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks. I don’t have an account with Virgin so can’t get through on this number. Anything else I can try? A lot of “computer says no” on the customer line...

  • LucyWCarrick Lucy WCarrick (@LucyWCarrick) reported

    @virginmedia once again you have given the absolute worst customer service. No one has gotten back to me and I have been essentially conned into getting a product. Get in touch please!!
