    @crokakaar @virginmedia Try calling them for help if you've got a spare few hours to waste.

  • NuttyRichie Richard Payne (@NuttyRichie) reported from South Shields, England

    Another blackout on @virginmedia

  • brtoon Brian Reid (@brtoon) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @honestlyhelen I've had similar feelings, my bill has rocketed by £11 per month over the last few months for my TV only service as Virgin only offer discounts now for multi package deals, loyalty no longer rewarded it seems 🤔

  • Tony_Hodson Tony Hodson #coach (@Tony_Hodson) reported from Ponteland, England

    @virginmedia 1. Why the neighbour would not have the same issues when the ‘issue’ is your automated phone system is beyond my comprehension! 2. It is not a neighbours responsibility to resolve a phone issue for the bill payer. 3. Through an internal contact I now have an engineer visit bkd.

  • toniaadiexx T (@toniaadiexx) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’ve already spoken to someone on the phone who reset the network, but that didn’t work. I also tried re-starting everything and that also didn’t work, the box itself is very slow now also.

  • jameshedges4 James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I need someone to contact me immediately as I need to make a serious complaint about service. Completely ready to escalate to higher management as this incompetence of this company is a disgrace

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Longhirst, England

    @virginmedia This is so, so bad.

  • kicka11 ⚕ ᑕᕼᖇIS ⚕ (@kicka11) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Worst broadband and cable provider of all time.

  • NuttyRichie Richard Payne (@NuttyRichie) reported from South Shields, England

    @MrChrisWynn @Simon21ne @virginmedia @nowtvhelp @SkyHelpTeam I managed one week before cancelling! Sky says I have so many devices that it’s slowing the hub down, in 2019 that’s piss poor

  • Barrymore_Jones Michael Jones (@Barrymore_Jones) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I need help

  • LiamCottam Liam A Cottam (@LiamCottam) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Everyone was fine (eventually). The feedback is simple. If I can self serve setting up and managing my account I should be able to self serve cancel.

  • philippat Philippa Taylor (@philippat) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia good customer service , they asked if they could ring me back in 15 mins due to his PC not working , now 2.5 hours later and I am still waiting , tried ringing them back and been on hold for 28 mins now 😡

  • LeslieBrown953 Leslie Brown (@LeslieBrown953) reported from Hebburn, England

    @virginmedia Disgusted at the speed of my broadband I am receiving. Signal very very slow. Paying for M50 broadband. Feel I am paying over the odds for what I am getting. But I already know your reply. Everything ok our side. Also received that the price is going up #ripoff

  • Selwynsaint Selwyn St.Bernard🇹🇹🇬🇩 (@Selwynsaint) reported from Longbenton, England

    If @virginmedia offer you a 6 month free upgrade do not accept it. It is a way of locking you into a further contract. Poor service as always

  • tenaka66 Paul 'The View' Carver (@tenaka66) reported from Cramlington, England

    @virginmedia poor service

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

    @virginmedia hi can someone help me with my broadband

  • minkewales minkewales (@minkewales) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @Dabooka @skybiggerpic @virginmedia It was my second attempt to be fair. First time they reduced the price rise to £1.50 per month, then I rang back a few days later to cancel. Found a better deal elsewhere but price was the driver for wanting to leave. Lovely @virginmedia agent was able to help!

  • ThunderbirdWPC Tracey Ainsley (@ThunderbirdWPC) reported from Whickham, England

    Been hanging on phone to @virginmedia for 19 mins and then got cut off! Was 54 mins the other week. Do you think we have time just to sit around! Problems with tv service! Same yesterday in our NE16 area

  • neosalad neosalad (@neosalad) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @NatalieeeLoweee @virginmedia I had this issue. Got home from work to watch charity shield #MCILIV after avoiding the score and it was unwatchable because of the sound issues for me so I gave up. Will just watch #motd tonight instead. #nothappy

  • sheeshkebab Ian K (@sheeshkebab) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I’m not after any account info though, so no need to go through security. Neither of my parents are very technical nor do I have access to the device showing the problem.

  • MatthewKiziltan Matt K (@MatthewKiziltan) reported

    @virginmedia Yeah and that number also says NO LOCAL ISSUES. what a joke

  • MattRollsOnes Matt Angell (@MattRollsOnes) reported

    @virginmedia Hello. Are there any known outages in the RG4 area? We lost Internet 30 minutes ago and nothing is showing on the service status page. Have followed all the router reset advice but no joy.

  • dannypressman Dan Pressman (@dannypressman) reported

    @virginmedia There does not appear to be any issues with service. It is back online again now after the fourth reset in 24hours. 🙄

  • AmberBartlett Amber Bartlett (@AmberBartlett) reported

    @virginmedia i have been cut off from your customer service several times this morning and despite taking my number in case of this no one has called me back?!

  • matt56298376 matt (@matt56298376) reported

    @virginmedia Why do you have such incompetent staff working on your customer services phones? I have been trying to greet assistance for the last few days with ZERO success I would love to know how I can get some help to actually solve my issue! Or is that asking to much?

  • SejalAsar Sej (@SejalAsar) reported

    Hi @virginmedia did you not get the memo about a lot of people wfh? The broadband in our area NEVER works. Terrible service

  • Phantasmic_H Mr Phantasmic (@Phantasmic_H) reported

    @virginmedia Why have you made your support phone number so hard to find? Why, when I do call, am I shuffled around robo menus and hung up on? How hard is it to speak to an actual human?

  • MatthewKiziltan Matt K (@MatthewKiziltan) reported

    @virginmedia Well I can’t hang around waiting for you guys to get it working again. Will have to find somewhere with internet.

  • RobBooth96 Rob Booth (@RobBooth96) reported

    @virginmedia Yes I have a forum account Robert969 I fail to see why you need this though

  • SejalAsar Sej (@SejalAsar) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve been told there’s an outage by your team. This seems to be the case on a weekly basis.
