  Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported 1 minute ago from Washington, England

  Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

  @virginmedia what channels do I need to go down for a stable connection check in my area, two days in a row internet keeps dropping not ideal when working from home. Thanks.

  Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported 4 minutes ago 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?

  Phil Robinson (@Ne31phil) reported 5 minutes ago from Hebburn, England

  @virginmedia please advise Reduced mobile signal in the NE31 area. The signals were fine until a couple of months ago. previously had 4g I now mainly get E or sometimes 3G this is an issue due to my elderly mother-in-law being in hospital and now very poor signal in their home

  Steve Walls (@StevieWalls) reported 10 minutes ago from Chester-le-Street, England

  “You don’t need to be there, we can do the cable work outside no problem” That translated into a card through the door saying “Sorry we missed you” and the work not being done. Don’t really understand that one @virginmedia

  Ye gods, @virginmedia customer service is beyond terrible. An hour trying to resolve a "phantom calls" issue last night which now needs an engineer visit, and spotted that a direct debit is in an incorrect name but this can't be changed via WhatsApp chat and needs *another* call.

• 
  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 13 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia No, tried 3 times on hold for 20 minutes then cut off by agents without saying a word. After checking other responses I can see this has been the issue either other customers.

  Sam (@purplelime) reported 13 minutes ago 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.

  @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????

  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 29 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @OliverStanding @virginmedia It's not a great self serve option and poor customer experience. I have an issue trying to remove a service from my current package. Cant be done digitally or remotely. Only via phone which even then very few of the advisors have the levels of authority to amend your package.

• 
  NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 33 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 36 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  On hold with @virginmedia for 20 minutes then they decided to cut my call.. great service. 👍

  LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 44 minutes ago 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...

• 
  NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 45 minutes ago 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.

  Jamie Davison (@jamie_davison1) reported 46 minutes ago from Seaham, England

  My wifi and 4g at home is absolutely garbage, sort your **** out @virginmedia

  🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported 49 minutes ago 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.

• 
  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 54 minutes ago 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.

  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 58 minutes ago from Gateshead, England

  A week of no issues after a month of next to no tv and now it starts all over again. I have sound and the guide but just a black screen on every channel. So glad my contract is up, deffo going to be leaving this time. Waste of time and money!!!!! @virginmedia

  @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  @virginmedia shocking service provision. internet drop off these last few days. being told to wait 22 hours for an engineer. Like this regularly. Can’t watch a film properly, watch a game or listen to music as all rely on the internet . Change is coming.

  andy spinoza (@andyspin) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia my screen keeps having a giant error message ‘Channel Failed’ over the picture which is actually working! Anyone else having this issue? Usual rubbish Virgin customer service not picking up - waiting over 45 mins now.

  Virgin Media/O2 service event to **** when they started using the same type of call centres that Scammer PayBack would have interest in.

  Pedro Montes de Oca (@montesdeocapj) reported 11 minutes ago

  I need a lawyer or a support group to help me file a complaint against Virgin @virginmedia regarding issues with their internet service.

• 
  Tom J Jarvis (@TomJJarvis) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Your salesperson confirmed by text that his manager had approved covering that £6 for the term. I have the messages. It has never appeared on my bill. He asked me to email a compensation request, which I did. No reply. Chased three times since. No reply. 2/

  @virginmedia @LucyW1972 Why is no one dealing with customer service complaints. For one month now I have emailed, messaged called but still your equipment has not been sorted. Paddy Sweeney

• 
  Nick Morris (@nickjmorris_3) reported 13 minutes ago

  @virginmedia no tv or broadband all day in WD5 area. Called customer services who told us it would be fixed at 2:30am. That’s not good enough. Please can someone contact us to let us know how to get online sooner?

• 
  Expanse Consulting Ltd (@ExpanseCon) reported 14 minutes ago

  @ulickdcox @VodafoneIreland Not a vodafone issue. Looks like a core switch failure, optical cross-connect fault or other fault inside one of the central carrier-neutral hubs. It has dropped interconnection across multiple fixed ISPs (Virgin Media, Eir, Siro, NBI) simultaneously.

  Magnolia’s Art (@Magnoli23215778) reported 15 minutes ago

  @virginmedia As I have an engineer coming out on average every 6wks for last 18months, am now wanting to leave them. Saying I’ve to pay £1300 to get out of my remaining 14months contract. Anyone else having issues? Incompetent lot!

  Martin (@lionking2014) reported 18 minutes ago

  @JuanSpanishfly @LPXIOP @virginmedia I know how it works I was using voip 30 years ago!... The problem is the virgin broadband is down more often than the virgin phone line... So seems like I am losing a reliable landline line to go over a dodgy broadband one!
