  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia emails are not working the solution by Virgin is to log into My virgin media can you tell me how to do this when it is not recognising my log in and your call centres are all closed

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I keep getting message that blueyonder server is down and as such cannot log into VM or get and send emails

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @virginmedia Nope. Stuff thankfully works pretty well but company is proving to be awful. Shamelessly trying to use the breach their sloppiness allowed to wriggle out of the gdpr queries I've lodged as a result of the breach.

  • dodgestweet Matt Dodge Donnelly (@dodgestweet) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

  • RobbyRSSRobot Robby (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Thanks. Just checking as it calls me your customer and I'm not! 🤣

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia Twice but very unsatisfactorily and although I was told at 5.30 that I would receive a call back within half an hour from a customer services manager, I am yet to receive that call. New customer extremely f***ed off if I'm honest

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia three times since I first reported that I was having problems with all my services and it has gone down again

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia what has happened with the service in ne33 4hn area as I have no phone line no internet and no tv service

  • Marilyn_huartt Marilyn malibu (@Marilyn_huartt) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

  • MajorManor lee major (@MajorManor) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia You having service issues in NE15 7PH

  • fossdog_ Jake Fossey (@fossdog_) reported from Stanley, England

    @virginmedia are genuinely ******* shit

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia It all started as a Blueyonder customer in the '00's.... But actually, no, best not...

  • gazza_d Real Gaz of Trumpton #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    .@virginmedia have emailed me a survey about their handling of my complaint. Nil points all the way. To be fair once I managed to speak to someone she was ok(just) and gave me answers. Trust is so low I don't entirely believe them

  • TyneTom 𝚃𝚘𝚖 𝙱𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚢 (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @gazza_d @jo2gard @virginmedia They are awful, but the broadband is fast, trick is to never try to communicate with them.

  • sportingpat Patrick O'Kane (@sportingpat) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia No, unfortunately I never got that far. Seriously considering just cancelling and going with a company that has more respect for its customers. Literally became a client 5 days ago

  • kieranwby_ Kieran (@kieranwby_) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    4 days running wrang Virgin media regarding my broadband contract hold time of 40 mins then get cut off and in app support doesn’t help or live chat jokes man @virginmedia

  • Andymorris74 Andrew Morris ⚽️ (@Andymorris74) reported from South Shields, England

    How about @skytv giving movie channels for free across all platforms @virginmedia @bt_uk and help keep people at home! Come on, do your bit Sky TV 👍

  • julieclayevents Julie Clay (@julieclayevents) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Don’t forget to cancel your @virginmedia @skytv package!!!! #nofootball 😢

  • MarkaMackem Mackem (@MarkaMackem) reported from Seaham, England

    @Flittdog @Jo7Lawton @JackieMayes5 @Adamphayward @finbarr_poland @piersmorgan @virginmedia This particular job is not classed as key as its not a service everyone wants

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • loopymds Lucy Speed (@loopymds) reported

    @virginmedia once again useless service!

  • DottyDirectory Dotty Directory (@DottyDirectory) reported

    RT TomParker: @virginmedia It won’t even let me load the virgin website because the WiFi signal isn’t strong enough 😞

  • itsaWildCATH Cath Preston (@itsaWildCATH) reported

    @virginmedia That may be so but why does the status keep flipping from "an engineer is there to fix it" to "an engineer is on their way"? this issue started Friday evening. I'm guessing the fault must be pretty huge for such large scale disruption. Can you give us more detail?

  • finallygav Gav (@finallygav) reported

    @virginmedia WiFi down again. Your service is beyond a joke at this point. What’s the issue this time, weather too warm? #sortit

  • 0blivion_Walker Big Chungus (@0blivion_Walker) reported

    @virginmedia hey internet has been down for 24hrs so far, it doesn't say there are outages in our area but our neighbours are also unable to access the internet! We've done everything recommended with the hub(3) are you privy to more info? How can we work tomorrow? 😬

  • cbarber8712 Barbz2012 (@cbarber8712) reported

    @virginmedia so good ya don't do virgin all over the counrty...people i know have so many issues ...think you need to that out 1st before trying faster speeds

  • Minilegobatman Istanbul 🍉 (@Minilegobatman) reported

    @virginmedia I can’t wait to leave your stupid contract! Your internet does not work when your call centre has closed and I’m forced to call you back the next day when it starts working again and you refuse to send a engineer I’ve had enough of the pin reset it doesn’t fix it! Avoid!!!!!!!!!!

  • Joel_robertson1 Joel Robertson (@Joel_robertson1) reported

    @Rich25101980 @virginmedia Got the same issue!

  • SummerOneNine Summer ASMR (@SummerOneNine) reported

    @ssandison @virginmedia Same here, i managed to find them earlier on and they said there’s an outage in the area but it should be back before the 20th. Still not bloody good tho

  • mjKneafsey Michael J Kneafsey (@mjKneafsey) reported

    @virginmedia TV v6 Box. It doesn't matter how many of these or what boxes I have. The start up time is always horrendous and responsiveness is bad
