    @virginmedia Excuses excuses but no resolution how long will it take 2 days since incident raised and waiting for contact back as instructed why would I waste my day calling incompetent people when someone is trying allegedly to sort it Same old crap customer service

  • 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...

  • 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

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

    @virginmedia Yep. Intermittent service

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia There is no webmail to log on says try later - for 5 weeks Absolute shocking service

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No customer service just ignore customers

  • 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 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.

  • chriswadehome Chris Wade (@chriswadehome) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia how do I manage the devices registered to the virgin tv go app. Online help not any help

  • 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!

  • shenry1972 me (@shenry1972) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia According to your Customer Service I was informed I was to get a phone call by 5pm on Wednesday. When I rang back on Thursday to complete my order for a replacement box (after being offered a V6 but would have to pay installation) I was told no later than 5pm Friday.

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • 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.

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Customer service non existant

  • Slesss_ JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia After speaking to yet another member who stated they couldn’t do anything about it, I said I was going to cancel so I was transferred. The guy I spoke to was for once someone I could understand, he was able to sort my issue out in 10 minutes after being on the phone for 1 hour

  • MJGray1963 Michael Gray 💙 (@MJGray1963) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Why can't you just deal with by dm and resolve the issue

  • AngieH1980 Angela Hamilton (@AngieH1980) reported

    @virginmedia Hi. We have tried that already and still having the issue. Yes same 3 devices

  • jimbo341 James Morrow (@jimbo341) reported

    @virginmedia I’d just like to get an engineer round TBH. I’ve looked at those forums before and they’re not much help. Why do you make it so hard to get actual help?

  • popsgolf Andrew Poppleton 💙 (@popsgolf) reported

    Just found out that our phone is not working. Went on website and there appears to be a problem that @virginmedia are working on. So I try to register for loss of service. Guess what I have to ring them! #joke

  • EuanReid11 Euan Reid (@EuanReid11) reported

    @virginmedia Can you confirm if the technical issue affecting my area has now been fully resolved? Its been 3weeks now

  • cajchecketts Chris (@cajchecketts) reported

    @virginmedia Only thing we can easily connect is the PlayStation. It’s definitely better but haven’t got any data for that. Even a basic work video call has issues on WiFi sometimes when sat next to the router. It’s been pretty bad ever since we had Virgin tbh.

  • AngieH1980 Angela Hamilton (@AngieH1980) reported

    @virginmedia No. Still having the same issues.

  • richardnaish Richard Naish (@richardnaish) reported

    Celebrating 20 years of home broadband with @virginmedia family - are we your oldest customer?! Back in 2001 we were so excited to get 0.5MB instead of a dial-up connection. Now on speeds 200 times faster

  • moorejd 🐕🇬🇧🇪🇺🇰🇷🥋🏈♏ Jon Moore (@moorejd) reported

    @virginmedia No. Issue # F008794468 now fixed. I would like to confirm that a credit will be applied for 24hrs w/o service however.

  • ClaireMawdesley Claire Mawdesley (@ClaireMawdesley) reported

    @virginmedia It says there are no known issues in the area. I'm quite concerned as I have only been with you for 8 weeks and this is a constant issue. Apparently the area I'm in is known for issues with Virgin. I work from home and cant have an unreliable service.

  • cajchecketts Chris (@cajchecketts) reported

    @virginmedia 3.0 If I log in to that and do some diagnostics it says every device has poor signal strength and to move nearer the router yet some are in the same room and totally unobstructed
