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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

    @virginmedia You having service issues in NE15 7PH

  • Earlosnicho Earl Nicholson (@Earlosnicho) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia are you just responding to tweets you want to reply to your service is failing big style I’ve spoke to customer service to sort my broadband concern followed their procedures and it’s still not working #pathetic

  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia every month I have the same issue. Go to pay bill and despite having Google auto password (which works on every other thing I log in) it says my log in is wrong and I have to reset it EVERY MONTH!! EVERY MONTH!! IT'S RIDICULOUS

  • 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

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

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • csljohnkirby John Kirby (@csljohnkirby) reported

    Seriously @virginmedia must be the worst communications company on the UK, trying to get through to speak to a human being, so far wasted over 1 hour 29 minutes through endless loops, options exhausted. They really do not care about customer services, so long as they can continue to rip off the consumer, constantly overcharging, never altering the package price or applying the discounts/compensation offered. @ofcom needs to look into this company. The level of Customer Service is appallingly low.

  • Realdavebrown DB (@Realdavebrown) reported

    @virginmedia hi I cant use my @Screwfix account as they have informed me you have a block in place on them. Can you please help.

  • DuncanPattison Duncan (@DuncanPattison) reported

    @virginmedia broadband out since yesterday morning and now you reckon it’s not going to be up until this evening. If it is. This is poor. Compensation at less than £10 a day is a nonsense.

  • RAgames88 RAgames88 (@RAgames88) reported

    @virginmedia Your service is absolutely dogsh*t!! Don’t have a clue what’s going on and then literally 1 hour before you have estimated it’s supposed to be fixed, you announce that it’s going to take another 2 days!!

  • TodoSantana TJ (@TodoSantana) reported

    @virginmedia can we get a refund/discount on the next month as wifi not working costs us some expenses?

  • brox77 steve (@brox77) reported

    @virginmedia what a load of crap call a broadband provider it’s constantly going down for one thing or the other 🤬

  • andyd790 Andy Davies. (@andyd790) reported

    @imcalleddee @virginmedia Yes I’ve got lots of issues with VM - worst of all they keep lying to me in writing and don’t care about lying . I’ve pointed it out but they are not interested and just lie again

  • imcalleddee Dee (@imcalleddee) reported

    Anyone else having issues with @virginmedia for WiFi and tv?🫡 any idea when it will be fixed at all? Thanks :)

  • spud81 Nicola Murphy-Lunn (@spud81) reported

    @virginmedia just spent 20 minutes on hold for an agent to answer but not speak I didn’t cut the call - they did after about 5 minutes - mustn’t want to work Saturdays so not only do I have ABYSMAL WiFi I get matched service from your agents

  • ste1984r s... (@ste1984r) reported

    @virginmedia So you take my money but provide no service?
