    Been in my new house 13 day and for the third time tomorrow I have a @virginmedia technician coming out to 'fix' my wifi. Fingers crossed this one actually takes and it's third time's the charm

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

  • 66_mazza Mazza 66 (@66_mazza) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 4 hrs of drivel,inane quedtions 5 TIMES I'VE PROVIDED SECURITY,5 plus hours now,no more,your latest un helpful operator is now asking about moving house WHAT???? I want out ASAP,my god no wonder you amateurs get bad press,Im actually questioning their ability to even read????

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

  • stephwales_ Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    Why can't @virginmedia ever just be straight forward? Absolute joke. Problem after problem.

  • jamie_davison1 Jamie Davison (@jamie_davison1) reported from Seaham, England

  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    You lot need to sort yourselves out, Internet going down around midnight for the past few days yet you charge the earth @virginmedia

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

    @virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

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

    @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  • clairekitty12 claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia But do you understand that this is a problem in my area you were aware of ! Said it would be fixed but it hasen't ? It just needs reporting i don't need a tech to my house i beed it to the area

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

    @virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

  • Stevedey Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported from Newburn, England

    @GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.

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

    @virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Internet connection is intermittent in NE34, has been since at least Saturday. Connection drops at random. Have just restarted router again as I'm working from home & need to be online, no idea how long this will last. Not the only one having issues.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

    @_treble1999 @ordinaryperp @virginmedia I turned off emergency alerts, maybe that's why we haven't had the text

  • 71simon Simon (@71simon) reported

    @virginmedia It shows no issues. I’ve got some sort of connection back, though Steam is telling me Counter-Strike: Source will take over a year to download. Oops, it’s gone again.

  • illymus Illy Mus 💙 (@illymus) reported

    @virginmedia you are taking the pi$s now. Still no Internet since yesterday and you keep sending messages pushing back the time when it will be fixed. Am stuck at home with my mum, both have Covid with me being really bad and we need the Internet. No Internet means no landline

  • ProfessorFunky CluelessDad (@ProfessorFunky) reported

    @virginmedia hi, any internet issues in WA7? Seems not in the checker (just TV problems) but my Mum is without internet.

  • Guest_poet Peter Leon (@Guest_poet) reported

    @Pr3cisionPtg Same here, I flick thru the channels, realise there’s nothing worth watching then switch to Netflix and Prime even iplayer if it’s bbc, subscription is the way forward, I’m gonna cancel virgin media tv

  • alpha_gri Alpha girl (@alpha_gri) reported

    @virginmedia You also have the information wrong….it went down Boxing Day! At 7:30pm

  • 71simon Simon (@71simon) reported

    @virginmedia Our TiVo box had issues earlier and needed a reboot. It didn’t resolve the issue but it seems to be working now.

  • SeanSeandesmond Sean Desmond (@SeanSeandesmond) reported

    @virginmedia Have done this numerous times and have always been given same answers, yet problems continue

  • 71simon Simon (@71simon) reported

    @virginmedia my broadband is pretty much dead today, and trying to get any info from your website regarding issues is painful. Area 22, PE4. What’s going on?

  • joolesyg Joolesygee (@joolesyg) reported
