  • 147mick Michael White (@147mick) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia Yes problems with wired devices as well, I have to turn the hub off then on again all the time even if I'm in the same room.

  • Johnsonator85 Marc J (@Johnsonator85) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia Ffs YOU try calling that number and tell me if you get through to somebody. I’ve tried god knows how many times and I just get a machine telling me you’re busy and that I “might like to call again later” every, single time. Your level of service is a joke.

  • BradleyStaunch Bradley Staunch (@BradleyStaunch) reported from Hartlepool, England

    Virgin media internet is good, EVERY SINGLE other thing about them is ******* shite. Never understand the ***** on the phone takes, 3 hours to get through, website always down, make a payment page been broke for 5 years. ******* ****

  • DanielHill21 Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia So why do you not have a chat system? I work in a similar industry and we are able to help our customer through chat, phone, online, social media it’s crazy a company of the size of virgin media can’t accommodate us. Not having a go at you I’m just disappointed in the system

  • MillingtonJulia julia millington (@MillingtonJulia) reported from Marske-by-the-Sea, England

    @virginmedia please can you confirm is there a wifi connection problem in the TS11 area?

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia They can't help either, the real issue, lets be honest, is the fact nobody at Virgin will admit their equipment is awful and not really fit for purpose, the least super thing ever is the superhub 3.0

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Rebooting does nothing and service status page says nothing and if it was to do with that it would mean you owe me 5 years worth of credit notes

  • rachsclarke rachel (@rachsclarke) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia how can I cancel my contract? Unable to get through via phone.

  • Johnsonator85 Marc J (@Johnsonator85) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia In the meantime I can’t do anything then so basically you’ve been no help whatsoever

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia I wouldn't recommend your media connect app its awful, the booster you sent out does exactly zero, as for blackspots around the house that would be anywhere in the house more than 1.5m from the hub, all the software in the world won't polish the turn you call a superhub

  • PeteYourDoom Peter 🐈🎸🕹️ (@PeteYourDoom) reported from Hartlepool, England

    Yay, virgin media outage has stopped and been fixed

  • lenJunier *** Junier (@lenJunier) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia tried to login to "myvirginmedia" numerous times Forgot password Tried go through reset 6 times Hopeless

  • Formally_Gill Just Gill (@Formally_Gill) reported from New Marske, England

    @virginmedia I rang after the email and they assured me they have applied a discount and would stay the same price for my contract. I agreed a fix price and if that's not what I got then I have been lied too, which is a miss sale and the ombudsman will be contacted, again.

  • RobertTamkin94 Robert-Andrew Tamkin (@RobertTamkin94) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia I’ve been trying to contact your call centre for 15 minutes and I’ve tried all the options and I can’t get through to ANYONE!! I want to cancel my contract and it doesn’t give you the option online to do so!! Can someone cancel it from your social media team?

  • UKLightCreation Bryan Light (@UKLightCreation) reported from Redcar, England

    @virginmedia Mainly wireless but wired issues too

  • Johnsonator85 Marc J (@Johnsonator85) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia It doesn’t matter what day or what time I try to call I get the same problem!

  • Johnsonator85 Marc J (@Johnsonator85) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia who have I got to screw to get through to cancel my contract with you?

  • DanielHill21 Daniel Hill (@DanielHill21) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia can I have some help ASAP, in regards to an issue I’m having and I’m in a bad way

  • m_arthur1 mick arthur (@m_arthur1) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported

    @virginmedia Internet down. What the hell. You upgrade or downgrade your network? OX11.

  • _lanky_ Stuart Sears (@_lanky_) reported

    @virginmedia distastrously? I'm asked for a password which I have never had (I've been promised a letter in the past to fix this that has never come). On previous calls there have been a number of security questions used for this, apparently this time they don't exist. This is a shambles.

  • philsid 🖖🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼Phil R-A🖖🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼 (@philsid) reported

    @virginmedia my telephone has stopped working - could you check if there's a problem in the area? Norton, Stockton on Tees

  • RNeacsu Razvan Neacsu (@RNeacsu) reported

    @virginmedia Well I just called and it seems there is an outage in the area but why isn't it in the service status update? Plus these outages become more and more frequent since you upgraded the network, how long will these take and when will these be finished?

  • ssb316 Ssb316 (@ssb316) reported

    @virginmedia I receive the 2nd screenshot when running Diagnostics. I get an “Oops something’s broken”

  • philsid 🖖🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼Phil R-A🖖🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼 (@philsid) reported

    @virginmedia To be honest I'm not wanting to spend hours setting up an account. Is there a way you can just let me know if these a Telephone problem in that area? I'm busy at work and its for an elderly relative (85yo)

  • G6Kiea Sharky and George 🦈🐠 (@G6Kiea) reported

    @virginmedia are there problems in Ox11 ? No broadband for hours

  • freyabob Marie Waldie (@freyabob) reported

    @virginmedia is there an outage in FY3 this morning, WFH and nothing working

  • hieeeitsray Rachael 🌈✨🦄 (@hieeeitsray) reported

    Internet and tv going down constantly today. Sort it out @virginmedia, you absolute joke!

  • GSXBoy William Killiner (@GSXBoy) reported

    @virginmedia I have been with virgin from the very beginning. I was a customer with cable and wireless and NTL. To be past from pillar to post to get a damaged phone sorted out is bad customer service. Its loyal customers like myself that keep companies like Virgin afloat.
