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.

Kate Stevens (@katehub1960) reported@virginmedia My TV service is still not working. There is no signal and i have tried every ‘fix’ recommended please can you send an engineer….
-
Laura Flavell (@LauraFlavell1) reported@virginmedia Please can u let me know if Virgin emails are down? I can’t log into my account. I get this: “Your Virgin Media Mail account is currently unavailable. This is either because your Virgin Media Mail account is locked, or because you don’t have an active account with us
-
Tracy Field (@TracyFi31470652) reported@TonyDabell @mark_wootten @virginmedia yep virgin are dire and don’t get me started on trying to speak to someone in another country as they don’t give a ****
-
Nick Burgin - Horror Writer (@burgs2010) reported@Mccartney2Phil @virginmedia Down for 8 days. Started our contract last Wednesday and still haven't been able to watch TV 😡
-
Reform UK - Lincoln Branch (@ReformUKLincoln) reported@Benleo Just look at @Trustpilot reviews. Almost impossible to cancel an @virginmedia contract. Sent all evidence to Ombudsman, got written apology and £150.
-
Shane_spidey🕸 (@Spidey_marv) reportedI'd like to know why virgin media keeps going on and off its ridiculous honestly never known a provider like it
-
OfficialJohnHarrison AWMM 3838 (@jph1962) reported@Benleo @virginmedia One other issue they never mention, is if you leave any email addresses die after 3 months. For some people not an issue, however I’ve used theirs for 10 years all my contacts use it, even banks, shops etc.
-
Matt West (@itswesty) reported@virginmedia Residential I've had 4 calls that have cut out after a few minutes and I've had to cancel a project. An engineer is coming out tomorrow. Not going well...
-
Ben Leo (@Benleo) reportedWhat this comes down to is Virgin Media not wanting consumers to be able to skip adverts anymore using pause and rewind live TV. I assume they get more from advertising money when people are forced to watch adverts on their streaming boxes. Fine, I understand that. But lying and misselling and treating customers like this in order to achieve that is unacceptable.
-
Elliott (@asher_pr1nce) reported@virginmedia my app says we're out of contract, I have tried 4 times to renew it with the same package, for cheaper and it says I'd get a email but, I've never received one. With my bill at £115+ now, I want this sorted otherwise I will shop around for better options.
