    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.

  • pearceswan
    David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia If there is any tools that you can suggest I use to solve my issue it will be greatly appreciated, I don’t mean to mean in your position but I just would like to know exactly what you can do SHAW at the end of the day I’m assuming you’re going to tell me to go to technical help

  • 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.

  • NETheatreGuide
    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.

  • liamsholder91
    liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia I'm definitely filein complaint 15 days without no TV and 2 kids is really hard work its either that or I'll go with someone else

  • VictoriaBarry82
    Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported 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

  • gazza_d
    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.

  • 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.

    Pete Irving (@ZicoPete) reported 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Carl Walsh (@Carl_Walsh33) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia Just realised this is the first post in a year!! Had your broadband gone down?

  • clairekitty12

    @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

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

  • 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.

  • PaulCraig24
    Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia She has tried but every time they say they can’t help if she hasn’t got her password! Can I chat to someone about this as there are personal issues. I understand that this may be difficult as it is not my account. Thanks

  • liamsholder91
    liam sholder (@liamsholder91) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia trying to pay my Internet bill and its saying all my information is wrong??can you help

  • 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.

  • 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 why is my broadband off and why does this repeatedly happen? Your broadband service checker also does not currently work.

  • nataliewhittle6
    Natalie Whittle ⭐⭐ (@nataliewhittle6) reported

    @virginmedia Itv1 still not working any ideas when it will be up and running again

  • geordiechris48
    Chris (@geordiechris48) reported

    @COOPSthereitis4 @virginmedia If you waited in you should have a right to charge them. Virgin Media are **** hot in telling the customer that if they miss their appointment or don’t cancel by 4pm the day before then they will be charged £25

  • RobPhonetix
    Phonetix (@RobPhonetix) reported

    @virginmedia What about those of us repeatedly requesting our myvirginmedia account be unlocked for the last 6 weeks (& even lodged a complaint about it) who are STILL unable to access our accounts with no explanation?

  • KarlKavanagh69
    Karlos Balardo 🇵🇸 (@KarlKavanagh69) reported

    @virginmedia @K_simple_k Is that a really really slow case?

  • RHawkins05
    Richard (@RHawkins05) reported

    @virginmedia it's now getting beyond a joke, 3 days now without TV, and when you call all you get is "our engineers are working on the issue". Not good enough service

  • Mortalportal01
    Michael Portal (@Mortalportal01) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Hi. In this instance speaking through Virgin Media, it was set up without my knowledge and without a written or verbal contract. I am in the middle of this mess now and have looked a complaint. Thank you

    @txddyrilxy @virginmedia The ******* ****** my **** up too, bunch of ******* *****!!!

  • Shaun_Wren
    Shaun Wren (@Shaun_Wren) reported

    I’ve had zero TV signal since before lunchtime @virginmedia and was wondering if you’re going to actually sort it out and as a gesture of good faith knock money off this months bill

  • standfreered1
    standfreered (@standfreered1) reported

    @virginmedia absolutely shameful treatment of my elderly mother in law on your chat service this afternoon. First of all the bill increase to over £100 for a pensioner on her own, she understandably struggles with technology and has gone on the chat to try to reduce her bill or
