    @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.

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 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.

    My wifi and 4g at home is absolutely garbage, sort your **** out @virginmedia

    @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 ?

  • didixon74
    LadyDi (@didixon74) reported from Blyth, England

    @virginmedia In October agreed new contract, came to install last week got new router and have since cancelled the packages that was agreed. I am now been charged more and getting less services. Tried to resolve last week over the phone & not no further forward so just want to cancel now.

    @virginmedia hi I need to cancel an engineer appointment but clearly you've made this difficult to do. Any thoughts?

    @virginmedia Everything was working fine till 13.20 and areas started going off but come 14.00 its gone completely. Think loads of folks BrobbeyBand is down

    Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

  • tenchylad
    Stu (@tenchylad) reported 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.

  • 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.

  • DJLKP

    @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...

  • vitosauras

    You lot need to sort yourselves out, Internet going down around midnight for the past few days yet you charge the earth @virginmedia

  • 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.

  • DJLKP
    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.

  • 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

  • UnicornRunning
    Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 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.

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

    @virginmedia I spoke to them the other day they told me that you do not record any time when the broadband drops out only when a customer calls in so please can you get this sorted out thank you

  • RobbyRSSRobot
    Robby #CelebrateNeighbours (@RobbyRSSRobot) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

    @virginmedia Hi no actually because I am fed up sending messages, customer service is awful, retentions is awful and as for complaints well that's diabolical.

    @virginmedia complete and utter terrible service. On phone for just shy of 2 hours on Tuesday, still awaiting management to return my call that was promised with 48hrs maximum 😡😡 dont promise what ya cannot deliver!!!!!

  • sunnysenguk
    Sunny Singh (@sunnysenguk) reported

    @virginmedia just spent a hour with 2 advisors who have made me feel like disconnection is the best option with VM, I have raised a complaint but I don’t feel confident that it will come to a resolution after my experience. Shame to end my contract after 15 years as a customer 🤬

    @virginmedia I have had more outages with you on this supposedly "no outages" 1gb fibre than I have ever had with talktalk, and I am really pissed of! I am seriously considering leaving you early and making a complaint to offcom.

  • EgalGeordie
    Egalitarian Geordie (@EgalGeordie) reported

    @nftholbein @csljohnkirby @O2 Yea I switched to EE after nearly 20 years with O2. They seem to have taken every awful part of Virgin Media since the merger. Would never trust them again.

  • ross_biagini

    @virginmedia internet keeps going off in Amersham Please fix it

  • ArrEssVeeTwin
    Mike (@ArrEssVeeTwin) reported

    @_Alfista @jen_moxon @virginmedia Genuinely never had an issue. BT twice ignored the ombudsman’s ruling when they ****** me over tho. In the end they paid me £80 to leave. The only way to renew with Virgin is to go to cancellations tho. And they’ll still **** it up

  • callderone
    JacquieB 💚🤍💜 (@callderone) reported

    @virginmedia why can’t you cancel or reduce your package online? @Ofcom is it legal to try and delay any attempt to cancel your TV package by failing to respond to requests on messaging apps or keeping you holding on a call for hours?
