  • jonlane86 Jon Lane 🌈 ✊🏿 (@jonlane86) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    Wondering if @virginmedia can explain the service outage I've had in NE21 for the last 3 hours? Having to watch #NFLRedZone on my phone

  • paddyrat Paddy R (@paddyrat) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @nowtgoodtosay @virginmedia And every bad experience you have, they make sure the next one is worse. Like a competition!

  • HBP_Surgery_CHS Ben Banerjee (@HBP_Surgery_CHS) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

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

    Anyone else in Sunderland having intermittent problems with @virginmedia broadband? It’s been up & down for ages but it’s getting worse!!

  • fi_smth fi ✨ (@fi_smth) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    as if @virginmedia have a £172 cancel or transfer fee ?? even in student housing ?? where tenants change yearly ??? seems like a big scam to me

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Nice adverts for your content, shame my recorded delivery complaint about my issue originating in MARCH (after three failed online submissions and pointless texts) has still not been acknowledged,been ignored,treating a customer as a piece of 💩 way to go 👏🏻

  • L88HRS Lee (@L88HRS) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • Mezzy14 Lee Mayes (@Mezzy14) reported from Ryton, England

    @virginmedia broadband is down once again in NE21. How long is this going to go on for? Its now been 2 weeks of issues and from the looks of it im not the only one complaining

  • paulbanks60 Paul Banks - Tenor 🎶🇪🇺 (@paulbanks60) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia hi... So haven't been able to get through on phone for MONTHS. your website self serve is permanently down, and now your Twitter and text aren't replying. How do we undo the last 3 months and get me where I should be?

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

  • GraemeBell_NUFC Graeme Bell (@GraemeBell_NUFC) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia can someone help with getting a broadband booster

  • Dancoat1982 Dan Coates (@Dancoat1982) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your response, still the same issues I’ve ran the test and it says good response but connection very intermittent on TV and almost non existent on all family devices. Very frustrating

  • RockcliffeFiles Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @DonBaldini @virginmedia Not good enough VM, I’m paying you nearly £1000 a year for absolutely terrible service. Other providers exist ...!

  • AdamOnCaffeine Chilli Vanilli (@AdamOnCaffeine) reported from South Shields, England

    Can anyone at @virginmedia virgin media tell me why the internet drops out every time it rains? The technicians only want to diagnose a fault on the line to the house and they never seem to be out when it's also raining. It's very frustrating.

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Done that.. hence why calling - your website is crap

  • paddyrat Paddy R (@paddyrat) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Please help me with this. I tried webchat on your ‘help’ site but didn’t get a reply. I’d written out the whole issue. Everything is always so hard with you guys 😢😤

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • woodymufc88 Craig wood (@woodymufc88) reported

    @virginmedia terrible terrible service, I renewed my broadband after being hung up twice, thought it was resolved to find I’m being overcharged. And to add to that my internet is consistently dropping out, rung today to fix broadband issues to be told they can’t look into it.

  • Shireling89 Jen Evans (@Shireling89) reported

    Hi @virginmedia - I've had intermittent TiVo issues all morning with crashes & restarts. Your website is down so can't test our kit or report issues. Any advice? (Yes, I've turned it off/wait/on & tried unplugging.)

  • EvilDestr0yer Ellie (Rainiiru) (@EvilDestr0yer) reported

    @PyrionFlax @virginmedia I've been having problems with my internet for months, once I phoned up and threatened to cancel it all it suddenly got better... I'm sure they do it on purpose hoping people don't notice

  • EmDavina97 Emily (@EmDavina97) reported

    @virginmedia hi is there a known outage in IG8? Wi-Fi keeps going down this morning

  • nouby Katie Banoub-Ralph (@nouby) reported

    @MichaelDow16 @virginmedia No I think it’s a wider issue, which is reassuring but no less irritating and inconvenient! Good luck 🤞🏽

  • nouby Katie Banoub-Ralph (@nouby) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, please can you advise what the problem is with wifi in Darlington & how long it will take to fix. I’m struggling to do my work from home cos of the interruption - thanks

  • franswarz Françoise Harvey (@franswarz) reported

    @virginmedia The service status line doesn't work for me - our house phone is a mobile number, which it won't accept, and I can't find the account number because we get ebills and they go to my partner. It is down for both at our house though.

  • kingosticks kingosticks (@kingosticks) reported

    @virginmedia I did that last week and they have not called me. I've said this twice already... But I'll try that again, then I'll give up. I'd use the cooling off period to cancel this if I had any other provider choice. I miss @HyperopticCS where it never went down and CS actually helped.

  • FTMatty Matt S (@FTMatty) reported

    Looks like @virginmedia have got massive issues. Not broadband/TV and even their own systems have failed so they can't tell me what's wrong. I smell failed planned work or cyber attack.

  • nicola_daniell Nicola daniell (@nicola_daniell) reported

    @virginmedia is Broadband down again in RG42?
