  • mark770
    Mark Walker (@mark770) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia An area outage with something your end caused my issue (no bband) to flag as being resolved at your end. That was not the case in slightest (still without bband) and the tech appt this morning being cancelled but no notification

  • 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….

    @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!

  • LiamBatey4
    Liam Batey (@LiamBatey4) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @virginmedia what the hell is problem with Wi-Fi ??? It’s been off for three days wtf

  • NotEnoughTECH
    Mat⚙ (@NotEnoughTECH) reported from Ingleby Barwick, England

    Hey @virginmedia what's your support email address in the UK? Your website is absolutely useless in that regard

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

    @virginmedia Wireless mainly, even though the device is right next to the router. This is the 3rd day in a row - never had this problem in the 10yr of been a customer

  • gaznolan
    Gary Nolan (@gaznolan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia So when does that happen and why was this not pointed out at any time in the cancellation process. Now I'm not a customer how do I lodge a formal complaint please?

  • cdbarnezy
    CDBarnezy (@cdbarnezy) reported from Middlesbrough, England

    @vonobox @stepickering @virginmedia It's my job… it's the same as anything other work from home job I've never had this problem before so I never though of needing a back up hotspot ect.

  • beck5ter
    Jason N Beck (@beck5ter) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @beardedian @VirginMediaCorp Then again I wouldn't expect anything less from Virgin Media. The only thing that is stopping me leaving them is losing my emails. Going to look into an alternative solution to that problem tomorrow

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

    @virginmedia can you confirm your sky sports red button will be working tonight for the Boro match as there is always problems with it, as if it’s not I’ll purchase the match with a different provider instead. Plenty of notice here for an 19:45 kick off

  • Danielson_1991
    Daniel Thompson (@Danielson_1991) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @virginmedia I honestly can't deal with being passed around departments again. The problem is the WiFi is weak upstairs and I'm paying for a product thats not fit for service. You advertise intelligent pods to boost connections, all I want is to order one to resolve the issue.

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

    @virginmedia @dakotafiction Same here ts10, broadband is down, your status says no issues!

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

    @virginmedia It's a waste of time tbh, all they do is insist I take the hub out of modem mode and when they do eventually agree you are rubbish and put me through to line faults they either just hang up or the battery on my phone dies

  • WheezyRider44
    Matt Greenfield-Westcott (@WheezyRider44) reported from Nunthorpe, England

    @virginmedia But this has gone on for months, not days or weeks. It can't be that difficult to identify the problem and find a solution.

  • Jim_Gardner_
    Jim Gardner 🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@Jim_Gardner_) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @SimonMarksFSN Ironically it's the only streaming service of the latest to launch I considered subscribing to here in the UK because CNN removed itself from Sky and Virgin Media when Warner announced its own streaming platform. I hope it now comes back, although it never left LG's WebOS IPTV.

  • AllpointsTV
    AllpointsTV - Jamie (@AllpointsTV) reported from Guisborough, England

    @virginmedia Yes , and it says no issues and then asks to check my equipment , this test says there is an issue with my equipment and I should check again in 24 hours so an engineer can be arranged . This has now been saying check back in an hour for the last two hours

  • Thejollyevfan
    The Jolly EV Fan (now living up in the North) (@Thejollyevfan) reported from Stockton-on-Tees, England

    @virginmedia DM me so I can give contact details. Don’t think it would cause a problem but I’d worry about affecting neighbours services or possible future services should we come back to you.

  • Ben_McBean

    @virginmedia I switched it off at the mains at 13:00. Still not working. Also received a vishing message from a fake VM account about these messages.

    @biggle1908 @C_Midd99 Rkid had the same issue with his Sky package & price, so switched to Virgin Media, now saving £70 a month with faster broadband. Couldn’t be happier with it.

  • Keiran_Mark
    Keiran Griffiths (@Keiran_Mark) reported

    @vdaybabygirl85 @rayquannnnnnn @virginmedia Keeps dropping out? Which VM Hub do you have? I've just got upgraded free from the hub 3 to hub 5 and so far haven't had any drop outs. Give the customer services a call and ask for an engineer (free) and when they come, it's ifs the hub 3, they'll change it for free.

  • technolagnos
    Georgios A (@technolagnos) reported

    @MTBoar @virginmedia That’s just rubbish, you can take it off you want it (however have a look at the issues people have had with cancelling their Virgin media subscriptions at the end before you do…)

  • iestyntdavies
    Iestyn T Davies (@iestyntdavies) reported

    Frankly @virginmedia we just want to ditch our contract with you as your service is so poor. Let’s get us to @skytv or @EE instead

  • ljbrameld
    Lynne (@ljbrameld) reported

    @RichardMorrow10 @virginmedia You’ll be lucky. I left them & changed Broadband company. They said I was due credit & would send a cheque (cheque 🥴). Still waiting. Bet it never arrives.

  • bull_robin56713
    🇬🇧 Rob @No-Bull-Politics 🇬🇧 (@bull_robin56713) reported

    @virginmedia I'm sure I'm not alone in having asked you to reduce my service, such as cancelling a second set-top box, in order to reduce my bills. As you can see here I asked for my bills to be reduced in Jan 2024. Yet notice how those bills have crept up again ever since. There has been no increase or improvement in the service you provide to justify this. According to my analysis, despite having gained a better paid job recently, my net income is down 4.2% compared with 5 years ago. Like many, I am going to have to tighten my belt, and those bills that increase without any prior warning must be the first to go.

    Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported

    @virginmedia I have messaged. I have taken days off on multiple occasions to wait in for engineers to attend. I was assured that due to external works I would not need to be in today, however the issue STILL has not been fixed despite assurances it would be sorted.

  • cathypops2010
    Catherine Jeffery (@cathypops2010) reported

    @virginmedia @D4N7O It’s not working in the Oldham area either but it’s working for Sky customers

  • SamanthaJane_H
    Sam Sheehan (@SamanthaJane_H) reported

    @virginmedia WHY DO YOUR CONTRACTORS NEVER SHOW UP?! 3 WEEKS OF NO BROADBAND AT THIS POINT AND NO SIGN OF ANYONE FIXING IT BECAUSE YOUR STAFF DONT TURN UP

  • amy_jo_23
    amy simpson (@amy_jo_23) reported

    @O2 since you joined with @virginmedia my service has been shocking can’t even try and pay my bill with a problem or issue!!! I’m hearing the same thing from lots of people also!!!!! Sort it out
