    Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.

  • CazzaW
    CazzaW (@CazzaW) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia down in Newcastle? How am I meant to work?

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

    @virginmedia I have to wait 24hrs & call back not only is the red light an issue, the WiFi has now stopped working!

  • Carl_Walsh33
    Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia I look forward to the money off the bill for the issues.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia 2 technicians over a week period, 4 visits. TV back on but Internet on and off now. Will be ringing Sky tomorrow and also your cancellation team. Clearly this is my service from now on.

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England

    @virginmedia You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it? Spoke 18 months ago about signal. Was told it would be looked at if I agreed to renew. Once renewed was told WiFi is not guaranteed so tough.

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my Mam has been trying to sort her mobile out today. As she can’t remember her password or security answer, she has been unable to access her account to cancel it. Can you let me know what she can do?

  • KiddEdan
    Edan Kidd (@KiddEdan) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia two nights in a row the internet goes down, yous are a bag of shite

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Ryton, England

    @virginmedia The signal struggles to get to each room in the house. My son complains as he games. No chance of streaming music in the bathroom. It isn't a big house either. The deal I'm on currently was negotiated when I spoke to disconnection team rather than intro offer.

  • 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.

  • ema_neale
    emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

  • ScottN1504
    Scott Noble (@ScottN1504) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Has anyone ever sent anything back to virgin media before? Need some help if possible

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

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

  • Carl_Walsh33
    Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England

    @jmstocka @virginmedia Has to be the worst app going. It regularly says this to me despite the 47 step verification

  • NETheatreGuide
    NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

  • RobbyRSSRobot
    Robby #CelebrateNeighbours (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

  • didixon74
    LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia In October agreed new contract, came to install last week got new router and have since cancelled the packages that was agreed. I am now been charged more and getting less services. Tried to resolve last week over the phone & not no further forward so just want to cancel now.

    Potato Witch (@spudmagic) reported

    @PeteUK7 @virginmedia It was several years ago and I didn't pay you a penny. I was sharing the story to warn others about using your ****** company. Please **** off, particularly with your automated trash replies.

  • DBPV80
    DAVID BUNTING (@DBPV80) reported

    @EdwardJDavey I watch it free on Virgin Media who are allowing free access to finals. Last final. But there are bigger issues in the country! You are just a poodle for the PM!

  • hit_him_terry
    Terry McCann (@hit_him_terry) reported

    For a service they failed to provide, @virginmedia isn't that fraudulent under consumer protection laws?

  • UAVHive
    UAVHive (@UAVHive) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia I'm not in the least bit surprised, they have the worst customer service in telecoms.

  • CillianMcLough1
    Cease Fire Now- #EndTheGenocide (@CillianMcLough1) reported

    @Galway_Dweller 👍And that's the real problem. They either have broadsheet columns or a revolving door to rte radio, TV and virgin media.

  • melon_h
    Helen Rimmer @thekindbraveleader.bsky.social (@melon_h) reported

    So @virginmedia is down again, been down since yesterday morning. We know it will last until just before the point they have to pay compensation, they will offer no apology and they give no updates. Looking at switching ASAP

  • Gbarch1
    megb (@Gbarch1) reported

    @virginmedia Our service in CM16 went down on Thursday 28th @ 10pm. Ridiculous 'updates' have been sent every few hours. The supposed fix is now 2nd June. What on earth is going on?

  • jobber_phil
    Philip Cross (@jobber_phil) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia so you had no internet for 7 weeks you say, speak to a solicitor because they have broken the contract and you should not have to pay.

  • CBTwizard
    Shelton (@CBTwizard) reported

    @OliverGMcManus @virginmedia I was in a pretty similar boat, now they're chasing me for £500 early termination I was fed up with the poor reliability, then lost full connection, lost income (WFH), them pushing the fix dates over a month no service. Left to BRSK, never had an issue, far cheaper, far better.

  • Ana1Atkinson
    Ana Atkinson (@Ana1Atkinson) reported

    @virginmedia we currently have no broadband, no tv and no landline. When I checked the service status, it says phone is ok, so I’m unable to register that we have no landline?
