  • L88HRS Lee (@L88HRS) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia are there network issues in NE29? My wired connections are working fine but WiFi is having none of it on any of our devices!

  • HBP_Surgery_CHS Ben Banerjee (@HBP_Surgery_CHS) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

  • GraemeBell_NUFC Graeme Bell (@GraemeBell_NUFC) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to an understanding and reasonable human please? Or do they not exist in your company? I’ve had nothing but trouble from day one and the customer service has been woeful

  • peterat50 peter atkinson #FBPE (@peterat50) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone thinking of dealing with @virginmedia don’t their customer service is woeful . Another hour wasted trying to contact them 😡

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Nice adverts for your content, shame my recorded delivery complaint about my issue originating in MARCH (after three failed online submissions and pointless texts) has still not been acknowledged,been ignored,treating a customer as a piece of 💩 way to go 👏🏻

  • jonlane86 Jon Lane 🌈 ✊🏿 (@jonlane86) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia We have two VM boxes for collection as we have already left your network. Can you please arrange for someone to disconnect and collect them? Thanks in anticipation.

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

  • jameshedges4 James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Have a mountain of work to do and need to be online to do all of it. What a surprise, @virginmedia is down again. What a waste of money

  • samiq Gilbert Corrales (@samiq) reported from Gateshead, England

  • Mezzy14 Lee Mayes (@Mezzy14) reported from Ryton, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RayWaring Ray Waring (@RayWaring) reported from Liverpool, England

    @virginmedia Sorry I really don’t get it. A few hours ago I was told that your team would investigate etc. Now you’re telling you don’t have any access so I’m left to hang on with no one from VM being able to update me. Is that it?

  • Johnlumb67 John lumb (@Johnlumb67) reported

    @virginmedia I get 0 service in kitchen, bedroom 2, hallway and side room.

  • G10MBY Alex Agombar (@G10MBY) reported

    @virginmedia Now I’m signed up to an £86/month package that I NEVER agreed to and I’m being stonewalled by every member of staff I talk to. Nobody is taking ownership of this issue despite the resolution being simple.

  • rovertegdol1 rovertegdol (@rovertegdol1) reported

    @virginmedia It’s terrible

  • Omarnsiti Sheikh omar (@Omarnsiti) reported

    @virginmedia you have the absolute worst customer service for a uk company, constantly hanging up and never sorting out my issues, i will be making complaints in every avenue available and will leave very bad review unless my issues are sorted

  • G10MBY Alex Agombar (@G10MBY) reported

    @virginmedia I’ve literally been stonewalled by the last few people I’ve spoken to who have just promised I’ll get a call back but I have to chase because it never happens or I find out after that ‘promise’ that I’ve been lied to again or my complaint has been resolved without contacting me.

  • InteriorAgent John Northwood (@InteriorAgent) reported

    @virginmedia I was told this coming Friday but no time given. This means we will have had the issue for over a week!! The excuse was they were running late. Told her I am here all evening and can call anytime, but conveniently that couldn’t be done

  • G10MBY Alex Agombar (@G10MBY) reported

    @virginmedia Called about upgrading package, had a terrible experience, as an apology was offered a bundle but was told I’d get a call back to activate it. Never happened, problems haven’t stopped since. Now I’m told the complaint is resolved but no notice or resolution given. Horrible!!!

  • IamChrisGould chris gould (@IamChrisGould) reported

    @virginmedia could you possibly share the customer service number, and the relevant key options to speak to someone who speaks English? Simple query, but major language barriers...

  • fome_xox Fome 🌈 (@fome_xox) reported

    @virginmedia After all the usual checks. Disconnecting everything, full reset, anything interfering with signal and whatnot.
