  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

  • tenchylad Stu (@tenchylad) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

  • dowlo100 Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Internet connection is intermittent in NE34, has been since at least Saturday. Connection drops at random. Have just restarted router again as I'm working from home & need to be online, no idea how long this will last. Not the only one having issues.

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    **** off Virgin Media, useless bollocks

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

    @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia I did the online thing before contacting u it says needs a tech . But it doesnt it needs your outage fixed .

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

  • northseacrashes Joyce Gibson (@northseacrashes) reported

    @virginmedia I am having issues logging into my account online. My password isn't recognised and it isn't letting me change it. I have tried calling for support but no option offered fits this issue. Can you please help me?

  • moini_sara Sara moini (@moini_sara) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I've done a factory reset, but WiFi cuts out randomly even though website says there are no issues. I work from home and this is causing issues for my work.

  • Susan301807 Susan Drake (@Susan301807) reported

    @virginmedia It’s still the same, also on our 2nd TiVo box. However service page says there is an issue with bb & tv which wasn’t there last night. I’ll check it later today. Thanks for replying

  • Zylbersztajn Daniel Z. Zylbersztajn-Lewandowski (@Zylbersztajn) reported

    Experience @virginmedia? Appalling! V. clearly outlined requirements were seemingly ignored by the difficult to understand phone operator. After sale discovered deal differed to what I thought agreed. After complaint, no solution was offered. I cancelled all. #badcustomerservice

  • AdaRoseCannon Ada Rose Cannon (@AdaRoseCannon) reported

    @virginmedia This why my first tweet asked for router recommendations so I can disable my VM router's WiFi and user a secondary router to handle the WiFi since you are incapable of fixing this issue and I want to watch stream TV and have video calls without interruption.

  • RenegadeR0SS Ross 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@RenegadeR0SS) reported

    @virginmedia what is going on in the ML1 4AH area guys? Loss of service yesterday afternoon and now again this morning.

  • lvn5e LVN (@lvn5e) reported

    @virginmedia Could I have an update today? The problems are still ongoing.

  • FooWhiter Andy C (@FooWhiter) reported

    @virginmedia Complaint ref C-280322937 Rang call centre last night to try resolve this. First advisor put me on hold to speak to her manager. Then said she was still waiting put me on hold again to then pass the buck on to another advisor. Who then took my details put me on hold & hung up.

  • clubdoctor1 theclubdoctor (@clubdoctor1) reported

    @garrett_golf @virginmedia With them once, never again....

  • katos1981 Katie Morgan (@katos1981) reported

    @virginmedia Hello, it's wired and wireless devices. I don't seem to have much 4G or telephone reception either. I have turned everything off and on again and reset it as per instructions on the app. It's still not working.
