    @virginmedia Hi, I’ve tried to call 5 times to cancel services without success. I’m emigrating in January and I’ve no idea how else to try and contact you. Could someone please DM me so I can pass on phone number to receive a call ?

    🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported 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.

  • mickeywhizz
    Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

    @virginmedia can you help with my phone services not currently working

  • Rainbowztwit
    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?

  • EmSatch
    EmSatch (@EmSatch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Continual issues with the credit agreement email not arriving (and yes I checked junk!) It took a webchat and 3 calls to get anywhere near resolving this. Had my dad in his 70s in tears at the stress. I do have to say after almost 2hrs on the phone today we finally 1/

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

  • Stevedey
    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.

  • UnicornRunning
    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.

  • PatternThimble
    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.

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I know my line is spoofed, when an incoming call from a foreign country is giving out I’m not wrong number as I’m being spoofed I am technically aware of this I used to provide support for a very large telecommunications company

  • Deggsytweets
    Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia I have to wait 24hrs & call back not only is the red light an issue, the WiFi has now stopped working!

  • ZicoPete
    Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 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.

    John O’Brennan (@JohnOBrennan2) reported

    @wattzez @ConorGallaghe_r @IrishTimes That is completely untrue. I was on Virgin Media TV Tuesday talking about the issue. Just before that programme RTE’s Prime Time did a segment. It is being very widely discussed.

  • RhysMcCarter
    Rhys McCarter (@RhysMcCarter) reported

    @virginmedia I am currently experiencing broadband issues in the WV13 area. I am trying to attend my university lecture and it is impossible with this crap service!! I need this correcting ASAP!

  • KG_ExTiNcTiOn

    @virginmedia 20 hours for an estimated time of fix is an absolute joke

    @marypaul32 @virginmedia Every organisation appears to be incompetent. Its on such a grand scale now that it seems deliberate because such things do stress the human bodi. We got hold of Asda mobile and thei said it could take 2 days to fix but it's on now. I am way behind with stuff though. 8wks ombdsma

  • alexanderjordan
    alexander jordan (@alexanderjordan) reported

    . @virginmedia network down since Tuesday. Entirely down Tuesday, intermittent Wednesday, down again today, you keep changing the status and then advise to wait 21 hours to book an engineer, that would mean earliest visit Monday provided you don’t change the status again.

  • TheAdamMarsden
    Adam Marsden (@TheAdamMarsden) reported

    @virginmedia absolute garbage- was told moving house would be a ‘smooth’ transition? Instead charging me for two accounts, harassed via email and phone. Told this would be resolved. ALL LIES. Now they’ve cut our internet off. DO NOT TRUST!

  • sodiumlights
    Sodium (@sodiumlights) reported

    So, my @virginmedia hub died on Thursday. Finally worked out how to call them yesterday. Today a guy comes out to fix it but can't. Just got a message saying they'll be here on TUESDAY. Until then, no internet or TV. And no changes to the heating. Or the cat flap...

  • keithapearson
    Keith A Pearson (@keithapearson) reported

    @virginmedia Still waiting on your chat agent - to say he/she is incompetent would be the mother of all understatements. And yes, I've tried calling in the past, and that experience was so frustratingly pointless that I'm never trying again.

  • BrookesMarie
    Anne-Marie Evans (@BrookesMarie) reported

    @virginmedia please can someone contact me we have been on the phone for over an hour - give number for IT service to be told they don't deal with customers - given another number which is now out of use
