  • SharBella72 Bella (@SharBella72) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia internet is down, again in Sunderland area.

  • KeithRwc Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, England

    Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

  • modelnicola Nicola (@modelnicola) reported from Peterlee, England

    @VirginMediaCorp @virginmedia paperwork completed by my other half for court. Not a single follow up from Virgin. Please RT what a shambles this company and their contractors are. Accepted fault for damage at the time but won't pay up for repairs. Spread the word. Retweet this!

  • benrelton ben (@benrelton) reported from Hartlepool, England

    Broadband is down in our area, but can’t register loss of service on the website - just won’t work. Any ideas? @virginmedia

  • AndreaAndymac andrea mcdonald (@AndreaAndymac) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia as per usual the red button not working AGAIN the amount I pay you each month should provide me with a much much better service than this. What are you doing??????

  • Tanya_M_S Tanya ❤️🤍 (@Tanya_M_S) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia sky red button not working again. 😕 sort it out 🤬😡😡😡😡

  • Shaunelious Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I’ve cancelled the visit but why should I have to call back in the first place to cancel a visit I didn’t agree to? I wanted it adding to my initial complaint or raising separately but no one was interested. Cancel my contract

  • Shaunelious Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Or asking what outcome they want. Anyway, not long after I get a text saying a technician is coming out that I haven’t agreed to and if I’m not home when they come it’ll cost £25. So I have to call up to cancel that and was then told I can’t add to my complaint….

  • Shaunelious Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Red button for virgin, which I know isn’t true as I’ve used it before. I asked to raise complaints several times to which they just ignored before eventually saying they would raise one. He then said it was raised. Never known a complaint raised without someone describing it…

  • Shaunelious Shaun Calvert (@Shaunelious) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I’ve got 16 months left on my current contract but I’d like to cancel it as I have good reason

  • modelnicola Nicola (@modelnicola) reported from Peterlee, England

    @virginmedia Frustrating it had to come to this when an internal investigation would easily reveal that your contractors removed struts designed to secure the fence. Now having to pay court fees to remedy an issue created by you. It's a sham. I guess you hope most people back down.

  • ema_neale emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

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

    @virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

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

    @virginmedia I’ve looked & it’s no help

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Yes that’s fine, I offered to send it back but I was told to use it until the call was listened to. Can you check on the progress of the complaint

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia M125, it’s terrible, it’s always going down, if we are both wfh we need to turn any devices off to be able to use our work laptops

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia Out of contact & another £8 was added. My account for the free booster another complaint was logged. But no one has called me back. Can u DM me to have a look into this

  • VictoriaBarry82 Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @virginmedia I called up about 6 weeks ago about the poor quality of the wifi, I was offered another booster free of charge. Then I received an email to say my bill was going up by £15.someone said they would listen to call, no one got bk 2 me & I called the other day & was told I was out of

  • john_watson_ 𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕠𝕟 🎧🎙📻 (@john_watson_) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia It's working now. Just would have been good to have been informed and kept in the loop that there was an issue being worked on, the status page was useless, stating no issues!

  • john_watson_ 𝕁𝕠𝕙𝕟 𝕎𝕒𝕥𝕤𝕠𝕟 🎧🎙📻 (@john_watson_) reported from Redcar, England

    @DanWalk32531219 @virginmedia Just checked at 2am, finally back up again, though poor speeds on a speed test, hopefully will improve by the morning 🤞

  • aquarius16th Neil Walley💙🇺🇦 (@aquarius16th) reported

    @virginmedia Tried that & the sign in link takes me to the same Skysports app page that does not work

  • aquarius16th Neil Walley💙🇺🇦 (@aquarius16th) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, I have always been able to watch Skysports on my android tablet, until after the recent security update. For info, I can sign in to Skysports app via Virgin TV UK link on my mobile. Seems to be isolated to my tablet. I have unistalled & reinstalled the skysports app

  • aquarius16th Neil Walley💙🇺🇦 (@aquarius16th) reported

    @virginmedia No, not on my Android tablet as I am unable to reach the 'Virgin TV UK' sign in page. Pressing the button on the sign in page has no functionality. However, I can watch Skysports content on my laptop by normal signing in.

  • DavexPatrick Dave Patrick (@DavexPatrick) reported

    @virginmedia Email is now sorted but I still can’t log into my virgin media on my iPad I either get a blank white screen or the timing logo .. is this still an ongoing issue?

  • aquarius16th Neil Walley💙🇺🇦 (@aquarius16th) reported

    @virginmedia Yes, My Virginmedia & TVGo apps are working as normal. I believe it is a broken link on the Skysports sign in page. The Virgin TV UK button to enable me to sign in does not work.

  • HiyaItsRhiann Rhiann (@HiyaItsRhiann) reported

    @virginmedia having serious problems linking virgin media account to virgin media O2 ID account - correct email used despite it telling me it’s not and I have an email to confirm 02 account is linked to virgin account - very frustrating - please help!!

  • aquarius16th Neil Walley💙🇺🇦 (@aquarius16th) reported

    @virginmedia Unfortunately I am still unable to reach the sign in page via 'virgin tv uk' button on Skysports app. I have cleared the app data/cache & even reinstalled. All to no avail.

  • dishesrdone74 Chris Denton (@dishesrdone74) reported

    @virginmedia Done that. Still get into anything that requires a virgin media sign in.

  • dishesrdone74 Chris Denton (@dishesrdone74) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I've tried this many times but can't get past the email verification link page which puts me back to the last Internet page I was on. So I can't sign into anything that requires a virgin media sign in. Still stuck.

  • No_Bikers The EA 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🇮🇱 #FBAH (@No_Bikers) reported

    @virginmedia Thanks, there was nothing listed. However I discovered via local media there was a major outage near Dumbarton, however there was nothing on the website or app. The call centre didn't know either. Lasted most of the day. Pretty poor Comms.
