    Wondering if @virginmedia can explain the service outage I've had in NE21 for the last 3 hours? Having to watch #NFLRedZone on my phone

  • jameshedges4 James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Have a mountain of work to do and need to be online to do all of it. What a surprise, @virginmedia is down again. What a waste of money

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Nice adverts for your content, shame my recorded delivery complaint about my issue originating in MARCH (after three failed online submissions and pointless texts) has still not been acknowledged,been ignored,treating a customer as a piece of 💩 way to go 👏🏻

  • piggypics Les Pigg (@piggypics) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia No but I have now dealt with it via your customer services and asked to remove my mam from virgin sales list. Thanks

  • RachelDMcDonald Rachel MCDonald (@RachelDMcDonald) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia can you check the service status? My internet is not working. Sr4 area. #virginmedia #broadband

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

  • bev_middleton Bev Middleton (@bev_middleton) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia furious that I have been double charged for a bill, then I try to message support and its been over 1 week and nothing done, single parent who already paid the bill is not happy

  • finswimmerjohn1 John Lavender - #Speedowarrior (@finswimmerjohn1) reported from Whickham, England

    @virginmedia We have two VM boxes for collection as we have already left your network. Can you please arrange for someone to disconnect and collect them? Thanks in anticipation.

  • L88HRS Lee (@L88HRS) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia are there network issues in NE29? My wired connections are working fine but WiFi is having none of it on any of our devices!

  • schizoid007 John Lacey (@schizoid007) reported from Gateshead, England

    Can't wait till my contract is up with @virginmedia to move back to @skytv probably the worst TV experience I've ever had. Horrendous hardware, UI and Operating System

  • fionajohnson__ fiona johnson (@fionajohnson__) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia wifi down in NE2 area????

  • schizoid007 John Lacey (@schizoid007) reported from Gateshead, England

    Anybody else's @virginmedia Box absolutely **** when changing channels just goes to a black screen or sound or vice versa?

  • peterat50 peter atkinson #FBPE (@peterat50) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia you are impossible to deal with !! I’ve been trying to contact you since 4/10 to tell you I’m moving can someone please contact me as i don’t have the life force to waste listening to terrible music whilst on hold

  • GraemeBell_NUFC Graeme Bell (@GraemeBell_NUFC) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to an understanding and reasonable human please? Or do they not exist in your company? I’ve had nothing but trouble from day one and the customer service has been woeful

  • alistairoates alistair oates (@alistairoates) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Please if you’re providing a terrible internet service don’t use the phase, ‘Oops. Our bad’

  • peterat50 peter atkinson #FBPE (@peterat50) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Anyone thinking of dealing with @virginmedia don’t their customer service is woeful . Another hour wasted trying to contact them 😡

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hahahaha talk about bullshit - had to change to sky because of your **** service

  • HBP_Surgery_CHS Ben Banerjee (@HBP_Surgery_CHS) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

  • samiq Gilbert Corrales (@samiq) reported from Gateshead, England

  • MissThaisP Thais Perna (@MissThaisP) reported

    @virginmedia could you please advise broadband situation for EH11, internet seems down, when will be working Again?

  • GINGER_ROCKET99 Mark Roberts (@GINGER_ROCKET99) reported

    @virginmedia I was calling up because I don't feel like the complaint has actually been handled. Submitting another complaint about the complaint seems somewhat silly to me. Just get it right first time

  • TOPCORNFUNDIES Warren s (@TOPCORNFUNDIES) reported

    @virginmedia this is beyond a joke now internet issues for 3 weeks when I’m paying 100 pound a month is not good enough!

  • butmummylane Maria Lane (@butmummylane) reported

    @virginmedia I’m not being rude but what’s the point of a web chat ! Had one a week ago and nobody got back to me or resolved this issue !!!

  • FaintlightWolf Manuele R. Pennisi (@FaintlightWolf) reported

    @HowfenLilly @virginmedia They will do, because they will test the line up to your house and not IN your house. Which is ridiculous as they give you the hardware. According to VM everyone lives in house built of lead, as signal drops in the room next to their router

  • sam_dunph Sam Dunphy (@sam_dunph) reported

    @virginmedia @virginmedia - you actually going to do anything? maybe a direct way to make a complaint? How about an email or an address I can write an actual letter to so I don’t get strung along like you have done to me on every platform so far… not that I would expect the letter to work!!

  • milo32845068 milo (@milo32845068) reported

    @virginmedia trying to use the ‘forgot my email’ option but I need my account number and area reference… the problem is I get my bills via email not post and I obviously can’t remember the right email is there another way to find these?

  • Yasin_Premi Yasin Patel (@Yasin_Premi) reported

    @virginmedia I have ordered a new sim and it's been dispatched however my current simcard has been deactivated. Please help!!

  • ScottDo69200838 Scot (@ScottDo69200838) reported

    @virginmedia Please cancel the additional order i just placed i've changed my mind and no longer want it, Thanks - Order ID:100001819128742

  • AstridRuzzene Ruzzene (@AstridRuzzene) reported

    @virginmedia Another day with no wifi, @virginmedia have someone coming, take off the equipment and cancel my contract. You are not providing the service I am paying, you are in breach of contract.
