Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England@_MMaritima @virginmedia Wired speed test would be to isolate between a wireless problem or the connection in. Router might be shielded which would kill signal. Make sure other electronics aren't too close. I can ruin my wireless if I put router on top of my TiVo box

Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandHello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia twice in 2 months that my hub 5 has completely gone down with a flashing red light and won’t work, I’ve had to book a technician for it both times. Costs too much for this to keep happening!
-
Maxine Tennet (@maxinetennet74) reported from Walker Gate, EnglandWhat will it take for @virginmedia to actually sort out an account after a bereavement??? 3 months later, endless calls and empty promises. Continued anxiety and distress for an elderly woman is not the bereavement service I’d expect. Appalling.
-

-
LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia 17 days with no TV service, finally resumed today after another manual restarts at this end. Any chance of a refund of half of this month? That's pretty dire.

Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, EnglandA 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
-
Sarah (@Rainbowztwit) reported 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?
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported 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.
-
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.
-
claire🐱🐾🐾 (@clairekitty12) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia I would like to know how my broadband and tv are still broken after the outage ? It saying theres a connection issue on both broadband and tv . Tv error c139 ...i dont understand why my fault cant be logged as the origanal not being fixed
-
Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England@_MMaritima @virginmedia I'd say that needs an engineer visit then at least. Probably either a bad connection or a flakey modem. Phone and log it every time it goes off.

-
Roland Hesz 🎸⛩️🏳️🌈 (@rolandhesz) reportedHey @virginmedia, is it correct that I am not allowed to read the contract before I sign up but I still have to tick the "I have read it..." checkbox to sign up? That's what your customer service agent is telling me now. I thought it was a broken link but I'm told otherwise.
-
Sean Redmond (@seanpaulguitar) reported@virginmedia @Dominiho7 Just leave it they scrap them anyway. They ALL have vulnerable exploited intel chips in them that they never patched and keep refusing to admit

Filius Scott (@RobinRaving) reported@virginmedia Nope! But have found out my new provider will be able to cancel my contract on my behalf so I don't have to go through the agony of trying to deal with your "customer service" team.
