  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia what's going on still nothing no data no phone service nothing sort it out

  • 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?

  • 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.

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

    @virginmedia more disgustingly slow speeds in NE27

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

    @virginmedia wifi speed is disgustingly slow in NE 27

  • 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...

  • 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 ?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 Yep. Intermittent service

  • 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….

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

    @virginmedia Horrific customer service

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

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

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

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