  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

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

    @virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia There is no webmail to log on says try later - for 5 weeks Absolute shocking service

  • Deggsytweets Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England

    @BurnleyJo @virginmedia Yea they’ve got issues with certain channels

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • SimonBewick Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia All on screen instructions followed, waited til I finished work today to check and it still doesn't get past 25% on the "searching for channels" page... Just taken the direct debit for a service which has been broken since 2.12.21...

  • Chickawacka Phil Byrne (@Chickawacka) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Can I win a TV service that works (Thursday 2nd Dec it's been off since) , or internet with no huge drop outs please? Or a link that works to fix anything. #AllIWantForChristmasistheserviceipayfor

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Why can't you just deal with by dm and resolve the issue

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….

  • adamappleby Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Excuses excuses but no resolution how long will it take 2 days since incident raised and waiting for contact back as instructed why would I waste my day calling incompetent people when someone is trying allegedly to sort it Same old crap customer service

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No customer service just ignore customers

  • Neil_Rivelino Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia my V6 boxes have stopped communicating with each other (in reality downstairs is talking to upstairs but not vice-verse). Anyone who can help?

  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Still down now, can work from Catch Up or my recordings, but nothing live as there are no channels. Drop outs in WiFi too. Not great.

    @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.
