  Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported 3 minutes ago 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.

  @_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.

  @virginmedia new customer ...2 engineer No Shows !! Not a great start. Try again for Wednesday. Let's hope they show this time. In the meantime please stop sending me emails to get me up and running.....that's the whole reason I need an engineer 😡

  @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.

  Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

  Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported 28 minutes ago from Washington, England

  Looks like @virginmedia are again trying to take Netflix payment that should already be included in my Volt. This is disgusting behaviour having already spoke to them previously!! Anyone else having similar issues?

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 31 minutes ago from South Shields, England

  @virginmedia I was told to log into the Myo2 app to change it myself, but I have been sent no login details and of course if the email address is incorrect it won’t be recognised if I try to register. O2 said we would receive texts with updates on number port timeline but had no communication

• 
  Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported 34 minutes ago from Sunderland, England

  @virginmedia Yes spoke to a member of the team, we have been having issues with our wifi. She offered to send another booster & cable out free off charge. Available on our contract. I’ve just received email to say my payments are going up to £60!!

  LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 35 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  @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...

  @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!

• 
  Sam (@purplelime) reported 45 minutes ago 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.

  Rockcliffe Files (@RockcliffeFiles) reported 53 minutes ago from Whitley Bay, England

  Hello @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.

  Eye of the the storm (@redjohnno1) reported 6 minutes ago

  @virginmedia 15years a customer, tried to renew 3 times. 3 times you did it wrong, given up and moved to sky. Your customer service is absolutely shocking and zero customer loyalty

  Alloqui Strix (@AlloquiStrix) reported 10 minutes ago

  @virginmedia and another update just received saying it will be fixed today. Honestly, make your mind up. The BB service is excellent when it works. When it doesn't you guys seem to take a trip to the local brewery and drink lemonde!

• 
  Cububo (@pokerchamp_Cbbo) reported 11 minutes ago

  @koenjideck Only worked well for me in recent years, but it gave me a decade of packet loss and outages before then 😵‍💫 I remember playing games with people on my street at uni, and half the people would disconnect in a lobby whenever Virgin Media had an outage 🥀

• 
  Phil (@philbreadin) reported 11 minutes ago

  @virginmedia how come my bill has jumped from £55 to £72 mid contract? I understand it's April and a small price increase is expected but £17 is taking the mick. With the issues I've had lately @skytv is looking more tempting.

• 
  Jemski (@jemski7) reported 12 minutes ago

  @virginmedia Not in the slightest. I’ve had many many conversations with your representitives and have been dumbfounded by the treatment you’ve given a customer of 25 years so I’m done. Your customers are just numbers to you.

• 
  Rep74NL (@JohnnyRep74) reported 14 minutes ago

  @virginmedia your Webchat is awful , got an email regarding upgrading to 360 . Directed to webchat , 35 minutes later still trying to sort out what is an easy request . Your agent takes 10 minutes between each response to answer . I’m not bothering now

  @virginmedia - TV and internet is down again, any issues in the Peterborough area?

  @virginmedia Why is my tv not working and why can’t I get through to customer service - been trying since this morning. What a terrible service!
