  Trid (@TrevorRidley) reported 2 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @Designer_Ross @SkyHelpTeam @virginmedia Yeah that’s the issue I’ve come across . Slow download speeds but always reported at just above the payment threshold. It’s got worse recently

  Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported 3 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia The link asks me to log in which I do, then it shows me my contract etc, I can either fill a form in for someone to contact me but I’ve did it before or it shows the complaint as been closed

  Steph. (@stephwales_) reported 10 minutes ago 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.

  David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported 15 minutes ago from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

  @virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever

• 
  Stu (@tenchylad) reported 19 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.

  @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...

  Gareth Miller 🇺🇦 (@geemiller71) reported 27 minutes ago from Washington, England

  @ee no signal on 5g in @IcelandFoods wife 4g on @virginmedia full signal.

  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 33 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.

  Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported 38 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  .@virginmedia Broadband down - phone line states because of 'improvements'- not expected back until 3pm. Why was there no notice so I could arrange to work from alternate location? How do I get warning in future?

  @virginmedia I’ve looked & it’s no help

  Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 50 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @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.

• 
  NETheatreGuide (@NETheatreGuide) reported 50 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.

  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 55 minutes ago 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.

  IFB Media (@IFBMedia) reported 5 minutes ago

  Damien Duff earlier tonight on Virgin Media reflecting on his time away from football and his decision to leave Shels… “I was running on anger, I stopped being Damien Duff” From being a Top Class Footballer, to an excellent coach and based off tonight’s display he’s also an exceptional pundit! Love him, or loathe him I don’t really care (and nor does he) speaking on any potential next move “I’ve fallen out with every club, every fanbase, I don’t know where would welcome me, but never say never” For me, we need to have him involved in Irish Football no matter what the capacity, he has so much to give and is Box Office in everything he does.. People talk about him going abroad, maybe back to Celtic where he learned his trade or even in the Championship with a club like Blackburn? There’s no doubt in my mind that he’s more than capable of doing a great job abroad too. But selfishly? I’d like him to stay in Irish Football in whatever capacity, because he has so much to give and I don’t think he’s motivated by money one bit. Look I’ve said it before (half jokingly) I’d love to see him do a tour of Irish Football of sorts whether that be the First Division, Premier, the Women’s National League or even Amateur Football?? I understand why it’s unlikely such is his profile but if I think anyone were to do it the man would be Duffer!

  @virginmedia Being given 4 different values from different sources about what our monthly bill will be was the worst but there are too many to list...

• 
  Daniel Goble (@danielgoble) reported 9 minutes ago

  @mobily_uk @virginmedia The whole point is to just get you locked into another deal. You threaten to switch and then they lower it and hope you fall for it...all while they try to upsell **** TV packages that nobody wants.

  @mobily_uk @virginmedia Way back 30 years ago I worked for cable and wireless up at Seacroft; the retentions team called themselves The Dream Team; they got a bonus for each customer who threatened to cancel they converted to a retention-when you call, drive that deal down as they have a lot of scope.

  Irvine sparrow (@IrvineSparrow) reported 17 minutes ago

  @virginmedia so I’m trying to cancel my contract and I’m speaking to Soyinka Sheffield but their English is so bad I can hardly understand them. Apparently she is the only person that can deal with me. Thank god I’m leaving ( well I hope I am ) !!

  On Trustpilot, @Virgin Mobile Canada has over 2,000 reviews (≈2,089) with a very low TrustScore around 1.3–1.5 out of 5, and about 90%+ of reviewers give 1 star as well as over 250 complaints with the BBB. @virginmedia you've got a serious problem.

  @virginmedia I need a solution without spending hours on the phone with your excruciatingly bad CS.

  AL.Crew (@al_crew) reported 22 minutes ago

  .@virginmedia your award winning broadband in area 06 has not been working since 3rd April... Intermittent signal in your area, 12 hours of broadband & no wifi for 2 weeks is not acceptable, you should be paying compensation for loss of service! #virginmedia
