  • pumbingchap Cameron Ross (@pumbingchap) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Well that was a pointless exercise reaching out to yourselves. Just proves once again what a load of rubbish Virgin is…. #virginmedia #garbage #dailymirror

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

    @virginmedia Can I win a TV service that works (Thursday 2nd Dec it's been off since) , or internet with no huge drop outs please? Or a link that works to fix anything. #AllIWantForChristmasistheserviceipayfor

  • Chickawacka Phil Byrne (@Chickawacka) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia why am I having daily and sometimes multiple outages with your broadband service? Checked service status which always says everything is fine. It's so fine I need to switch off WiFi on my devices and use 4G. Thoughts welcome.

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

    @virginmedia hi are you having problems in NE34? Our TV has been down since around 10.45am with error code V53. Can’t check service status online as your site appears to be unavailable.

  • Neil_Rivelino Neil Todd (@Neil_Rivelino) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia my V6 boxes have stopped communicating with each other (in reality downstairs is talking to upstairs but not vice-verse). Anyone who can help?

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

  • geemiller71 Gareth Miller (@geemiller71) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Horrific customer service

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

    @virginmedia Still down now, can work from Catch Up or my recordings, but nothing live as there are no channels. Drop outs in WiFi too. Not great.

  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @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 ?

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • adamappleby Adam Appleby (@adamappleby) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia seems your Cs WhatsApp is broken, can anyone one reactivate my WiFi pod?

  • SimonBewick Simon Bewick (@SimonBewick) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Well since complaining on here about @virginmedia and their terrible phone calls last week I’ve had 5 calls in the last three days all trying to sell me the same upgrade. Absolutely this close (fingers mms apart) from cancelling with them completely. FFS sort it out!

  • scotty8461 Bob Scott (@scotty8461) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

  • P25_Fletch Paul fletcher (@P25_Fletch) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia You’s really do make it almost impossible to cancel. I’ve called 5 times over 3 days. Either don’t get transferred or get cut off. Looks like I’ll try by writing a letter….

  • 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.

  • DJLKP LKP - DJ / Vocalist (PSiMiTAR) (@DJLKP) reported 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...

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

    @virginmedia @virginhelp what the hell is going on I don't have any data no phone calls nothing help please got use my home internet

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

    @BurnleyJo @virginmedia Yea they’ve got issues with certain channels

  • Look_North Karl Ward (@Look_North) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia I dread clicking that link. I fear being sucked down the rabbit hole of Ai customer service bots where I eventually give up until I'm exasperated by the next monthly bill increase.

  • ema_neale emma (@ema_neale) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reset help earlier it worked, unlike waiting 10 hrs for someone to finally respond to me again via WhatsApp. I was told that there were no offers for current customers yet your website states otherwise!

  • fmn4 Fiona Elliot (@fmn4) reported

    @virginmedia paying for top speed broadband but having to use data to access Wi-Fi, customer service solution: give us more money for Wi-Fi boosters!! #robbery #poorservice #fail

  • Creasey098 Migs (@Creasey098) reported

    @virginmedia Still not working,getting an error screen pop up and YES I HAVE RESET the router and tv box and cant get the boxing on!

  • HandsomeEddie1 HandsomeEddie (@HandsomeEddie1) reported

    @virginmedia The problem was resolved yesterday. 1) the website didn't show a prob when there was 2) yr agent insisted there was no prob when I was reporting 6 other houses had a problem 3) Yr agent said we'd be told when fixed - didn't happen. Shoddy

  • Lppink1 Frank Martin (@Lppink1) reported

    @virginmedia Very slow speeds on internet today. Shows as no service problem but only getting 50mbs in BR4.

  • bazhigham1 barry higham (@bazhigham1) reported

    Last night a car mounted the curb and drove straight into the Virginmedia box across the road on the bent, the box is destroyed and so is all the area’s broadband, the guy was pissed up he reversed and drove back down Savick way, driving all over the road,Reg got police informed

  • Creasey098 Migs (@Creasey098) reported

    @virginmedia as iv stated,im not stupid i did everything iv been told to do,this lies on your incompetancy not me,i missed the entire fight because of your service!

  • vgwebster Vivienne (@vgwebster) reported

    @virginmedia 30 hours down and no service - signed up for updates and not had one - has ruined so many things this weekend, for us and many on our street. When I log in the time just keeps getting further and further away. Crap communication 😡

  • nelliecarty helen🌻 🇺🇦 (@nelliecarty) reported

    Know what pisses me off about streaming/technical services #netflix #virginmedia it’s always someone else’s fault I.e the customer or dare I say it the equipment. Bad service is unacceptable 😡

  • MoizSiawala Helo (@MoizSiawala) reported

    . @virginmedia you really need to train your agents a bit more. Seriously lacking in knowledge to help customers. Anything outside the standard script and they fall over.
