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...
-
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.
-
David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England@virginmedia I don’t understand where you can see my personal information, it merely gives you, what broadband package I’m on what telephone service I’m on and watch TV service sign there are no account details whatsoever

-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.
-
Ceeb 🏴🇺🇦 (@PatternThimble) reported from Cramlington, England@bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.
-
Fraser Porter (@TheFraserPorter) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@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!
-
Mr Smoggie (@PaulCraig24) reported from Whitley Bay, England@virginmedia Unfortunately not. The issue is she doesn’t receive any communication from Virgin apart from a monthly text with the link to her account. As she has no password etc she can’t access it
-

-
Sam (@purplelime) reported 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
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia everything else is working except kids channels 712 to 717, W02 error. No other channel issues or broadband, done all the standard resets, unplugged at mains etc. Do I need to call to have this resolved? TV guide just says 'to be announced' Everything else is fine.
-
Keith Dawson (@KeithRwc) reported from Washington, EnglandLooks 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?
-
Victoria barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England@virginmedia I’ve looked & it’s no help

David Pearce (@pearceswan) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@virginmedia I’ve tried to use the add-on service as being a broadband customer I’m able to download to the O2 app however I cannot sign in as I do not have a mobile number and it will not accept my landline, can you help
-
Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England@virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.
-
Steph. (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England@virginmedia That was the original issue, the main thing outside was flooded and corroded (affecting 6 customers in street), so the network team I think came and fixed that, we've had 1 week of working service until today.
-

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Dippy | Brig Content Creator (@Itsdippylive) reportedVirgin Media broke their agreement, then breached the formal complaint resolution about it within 6 days. Their own staff told me the complaints process has "limitations" and to take it to social media. So here we are 🧵
-
beir13346 (@beir13346) reported@virginmedia there has been intermittent signal in the Salford area on and off for mo this. What is going on with your service? Yes I have already signed in and run the diagnostics.
-
3DeePee (@3DeePee) reported@virginmedia any news on broadband and TV being down it’s been like 5 hours now
-
Eldarioth (@eldarioth) reported@AncientJellyTot @virginmedia Same problem with religious callers but one replied with "Jesus would want to use to talk to you whatever your sign says". I had to stifle a giggle as I closed the door.
-
Kevin Clark (@kevinclarknw) reported@virginmedia Not good enough, I'm afraid. This is just the latest outage in recent weeks. The siuation appears to be getting worse, not better. We are paying for a service you are not providing and incurring additional costs through being unable to work from home.
-
Isla (@saoirseisla) reported@virginmedia I’ve been without wifi for 10 days. All I am being told is that they don’t know when it’ll be fixed. I work from home and have been unable to get anything done because I need wifi. I’m a week behind. I need it fixing asap. The problem isn’t my end it’s yours.
-
AJ (@The_Broski_Boot) reported@virginmedia The estimated fix time was initially reported to be 6 May at 1pm Then we got told today at 6pm Now it’s back to 6 May at 1pm Surely we cannot be left without broadband and TV until Wednesday? Ref : F012271473
-
VirginmediaCSUK (@VirginmediaCSUK) reported@virginmedia @chuckmiddleton Have you tried learning to lip read until we are able to sort the audio issues?
-
Martin Murphy (@m32925132) reported@virginmedia I have emailed about my account asking for tv to be taken of for my internet usage to be changed no email no call and you take 200 from my account today shame on you horrible company shane on you!!!
-
Shakermaker (@jonno153) reported@virginmedia hello, I’ve been having WiFi problems for some time now. I already have a WiFi pod in the home but if I move it then we get another dead spot. I have called about this but was told that I need to have a speed test below 30mbps.
