    @katiexmiddleton @virginmedia VM is big in my area for internet but the last house I was in could only have TalkTalk. When I moved, I just transferred my address over instead of moving across to VM. The trouble you’ve, and everybody else it seems, had makes me glad I did! I’ve not had an issue with TT once!

  • billgibbon Bill Gibbon (@billgibbon) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Thanks - doesn’t help. All state no known issues. We’ve no TV/phone/broadband or anything. using O2 phone hotspot to connect to you.

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

  • CompaneroDave David (@CompaneroDave) reported from Wallsend, England

    Have been forced upstairs to watch the match in the PS4. WiFi is usually crap up here. But, no, it's working perfectly so I'm forced to watch #NUFC. Cheers @virginmedia, why can't you do this when I'm trying to work?!

  • McXinnie Chris McKinnie (@McXinnie) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia £27 up to £32 without a letter, text, email or anything is a bit rude, can you explain why?

  • peteroliver18 Peter Oliver (@peteroliver18) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia My broadband has gone into a weird stopped working properly and I'm at my dad's house 12 Wardenlaw NE10 8NE it keeps going on and off and is so slow and it is barely usable! Is anyone else having the same problem with Virgin?

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia broadband constantly disconnects, contacting you via phone is a total waste of time. How do I get this issue sorted?

  • kara44234 KaraS4234 (@kara44234) reported from Durham, England

    @virginmedia What else would you expect when you have been offered a service you don't get

  • Steven_Smith89 Steven Smith (@Steven_Smith89) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia any chance you can reply since your customer service department have just hung up after waiting an hour to get through. So sick of your terrible customer service hence why i want to leave. #virginmedia #poorcustomerservice #cancellation

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    What to do when you have been trying to contact @virginmedia since november 2 complaints raised with disgusting customer service, eventually someone answers the phone only to cut me off 😡😡😡

  • Wilbaharris Paul (@Wilbaharris) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia What an absolute shower of **** your customer services are, goodbye don’t contact me again!

  • billgibbon Bill Gibbon (@billgibbon) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia All praise to your engineer Paul who has got us back online this afternoon. Still needs a new cable to be pulled through, but the fix is there. Thanks for everything.

  • Beardyknave Tommy Rotten (@Beardyknave) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @james_cooney @virginmedia I ended up talking to someone else who gave me the deal I was after straight away, such a **** on. If you're able to do something just do it, I have **** to do.

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia I am not in receipt of universal credit and back in nov i thought we could save some money by downgrading now I would like everything out, and will go with another provider. After the service i have received from yourselves nobody else can do as bad a job

  • donnawatson76 Donna watson (@donnawatson76) reported from Dunston, England

    @virginmedia Are you actually serious you have now wasted over an hour of my time back and forward on here to tell me to ring the same number i was cut iff from twice back in nov!!! Disgusting customer service @virginmedia what a joke

    @virginmedia Thanks for having me on hold for two hours and cutting me off! Problem not solved at all! Fantastic customer service! NOT! All I want is you to come and install the indoor wall socket so I can actually use my broadband I have purchased from you!😡

  • sjslfcforever Si Smith (@sjslfcforever) reported

    @virginmedia No nothing on service status page

  • stimooo1 stimooo (@stimooo1) reported

    @virginmedia Brilliant customer service had me on hold for two hours and cut me off cheers! Can you reply so we can sort this out!

  • LittleToRelate Phil King (@LittleToRelate) reported

    @uk_domain_names Possibly, tho' all broadband providers apart from Virgin Media use the Openreach local network, and this is the bit that is most likely to fail (cables particularly). Reckon on an outage of around 24 hours per year on average (but could be days). So mobile backup could be better.

  • PennyArcade10 Mr Spgt (@PennyArcade10) reported

    @virginmedia Stay connected? I disconnect 5/6 times daily. No reason. Raised complaint, 4 failed contacts later I called Liberty Global. Engineer changed hub. Still the same. About 6 weeks later a letter came. Complaint would close if I didn't contact them by... 10 days ago. Please help.

  • AnnMemmott Ann Memmott PGC🌈 (@AnnMemmott) reported

    Really looking forward to leaving @virginmedia broadband soon. A whole month of being unable to contact a human being is quite something, adding to the broken promises to send a router, engineer, etc. Hurrah for the new company. So nice. Real people.

  • SteveSteveu35 jollybaker1 (@SteveSteveu35) reported

    @virginmedia Well they never replied to me so good luck 👍

  • DuddyFiona Fiona duddy (@DuddyFiona) reported

    @virginmedia @LynneyS I have to laugh at this, so many people have been impacted by issues with your company from home schooling, working and your vulnerable customers as well. No connection and no way to get help

  • xokmxo KARENMURPHY (@xokmxo) reported

    @virginmedia 2 days later and its STILL not working

  • aspielifec Charlotte 💙 (@aspielifec) reported

    @AnnMemmott @virginmedia My advice is don’t switch to BT. Our wifi kept cutting off for days at a time and we then had to wait weeks for someone to fix it. And even after it was fixed, it kept cutting off for very long periods.
