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.
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, EnglandYou lot need to sort yourselves out, Internet going down around midnight for the past few days yet you charge the earth @virginmedia
-
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.

Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England@virginmedia Just realised this is the first post in a year!! Had your broadband gone down?
-
claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia I did the online thing before contacting u it says needs a tech . But it doesnt it needs your outage fixed .
-
Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported from Newburn, England@GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, EnglandYe 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.
-
Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England@virginmedia I look forward to the money off the bill for the issues.
-
Ceeb 🏴🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England@bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.
-
Helen Embleton (@HelenEmbleton1) reported from Leadgate, England@virginmedia Your customer services
-
Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England@gotthegistofit @virginmedia Same, just spent a frustrating hour on their "customer service" line because about £40 of calls are on my father-in-law's bill which weren't made. Still not resolved and an engineer has to come our first (which they wanted to charge for!)
-
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.
-
David (@Dave_is_Elvis) reported from Boldon Colliery, England@virginmedia checked your outage tracker and says all services good on the area. Been without internet for nearly an hour. What is going on?
-
Hilly Marshall (@hylt64) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia The issue is I’m trying to cancel my services but I see how you keep customers as nobody will answer the phone to do this hence the reason nobody can leave I’ve now been on hold 1hr 14mins which is totally unacceptable

Bella (@SharBella72) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia internet is down, again in Sunderland area.

lyndsey buchanan (@lyndzb1990) reported@virginmedia why is it so difficult to speak to customer service? Chat isn’t replaying and I’ve been hung up on and ignored twice. I have a complaint but I suppose if you ignore me you don’t have to deal with it 👌
-
Scuba (@RomeoLabia) reportedThat **** off is aimed at your marketing department @virginmedia & I'm pretty sure this is a GDPR breach? @Ofcom A massive communications company who won't allow you to unsubscribe from marketing texts and emails.
-
Vicky (@CityVicks) reported@virginmedia Hi @virginmedia it’s happened again, all devices wiped out. Wtf is going on
-
Scarlett Shaw (@ScarlettShaw) reportedThe one touch switch for broadband might sound like a good idea but here’s something they don’t mention. When you leave @virginmedia , the email address you’ve had for 30 years is deleted. So you have to spend hours and hours changing login details on everything. It’s so stupid.
-
meeeee (@baldiecute5) reportedJust about had enough of this company and haven't even been connected yet ! Engineers turning up on wrong day or not at all ! Customer servicea shockingly hard to understand! And pretty useless , last chance tomorrow before I cancel transfer @virginmedia
-
Paul Tee (@Nokkapie) reported@virginmedia Oh ive just had a chat with your customer services and they were not just useless but they lied! Claiming my bill increase was a contractual price rise which is utter nonsense seeing my actual pre contract I AGREED to has the price rises April 2027!
