  • 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...

  • 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 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.

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Excuses excuses but no resolution how long will it take 2 days since incident raised and waiting for contact back as instructed why would I waste my day calling incompetent people when someone is trying allegedly to sort it Same old crap customer service

  • chriswadehome Chris Wade (@chriswadehome) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia how do I manage the devices registered to the virgin tv go app. Online help not any help

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia After speaking to yet another member who stated they couldn’t do anything about it, I said I was going to cancel so I was transferred. The guy I spoke to was for once someone I could understand, he was able to sort my issue out in 10 minutes after being on the phone for 1 hour

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

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

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

  • 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.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia There is no webmail to log on says try later - for 5 weeks Absolute shocking service

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Why can't you just deal with by dm and resolve the issue

  • 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?

  • 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

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No customer service just ignore customers

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Customer service non existant

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • 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!

  • ashbrough1 A S H B R O U G H 1Ⓥ (@ashbrough1) reported

    @realjtk @virginmedia It’s unbelievable how awful the service is coupled with the shocking support. Has been patchy all week now with long outages and the support channels do not work? @virginmedia I want answers.

  • Sarah2Holden Sarah Hamilton (@Sarah2Holden) reported

    @virginmedia someone needs to call me back today! You’re company are totally useless, still billing me from the old property despite closing down the account, nobody turning up for the new installation and someone promised to call me back yesterday at 1pm! GO WITH SKY!

  • Andreas33897017 Andreas (@Andreas33897017) reported

    @virginmedia I am furious! #VirginMobile disconnected network coverage whilst overseas. How am I supposed to change to new SIM card when not present in the UK? Why SIM card pre-activated plus giving only two weeks to change from old SIM? This is breach of contract, GDPR rules!

  • EnriqueGuadiz Enrique Guadiz (@EnriqueGuadiz) reported from Hemel Hempstead, England

    @virginmedia WiFi is an absolute total **** of a service! Reliable WiFi With the hub 5 bullshit! Should be thrown out of the window! No WiFi /service in HP2!

  • Sez99W Sez99Walsh (@Sez99W) reported

    @virginmedia why make it so hard to cancel online and force us to phone only to be on hold for ages then be passed from pillar to post? We have tried and as we can not speak to anyone who can actually help we will just go ahead and cancel the direct debit.

  • Drenzul Steven Lockey (@Drenzul) reported

    @virginmedia Seriously, you cancel my mobile order with zero warning or communication cos I missed a single call from your fraud team from an unknown number then try and give me the run-around when I tell you I'm cancelling the broadband order as well.......

  • Johnnybumfluff johnnybumfluff (@Johnnybumfluff) reported

    @virginmedia I accessed before no problem, it didn't accept password so I tried to change. It says between 8-10 characters which I have done in so many different ways but always invalid.

  • gipasin767 Blank (@gipasin767) reported

    So have @virginmedia pushed a firmware update that all the hubs and bricked them? I can see a load of complaints and mines been going on / off intermittently since Friday morning and getting very slow connection speeds overnight. Bit **** really. Probably need to get a failover

  • Klaudinka Klaudia Matasovska (@Klaudinka) reported

    @virginmedia VERY disappointing to have no access to Wi-Fi, TV, landline service since yesterday lunchtime in my area still today despite fixing it all by 11pm last night (which in itself would have been poor-and you couldn’t even do that!). Using up my mobile date to connect to
