  • mightymagpie99 mightymagpie99 (@mightymagpie99) reported from Newburn, England

    @damieng5 @garethmck1987 @virginmedia @NETGEAR I agree. I have the same set up . With Virgin SH3 no wifi signal to conservatory. With Orbi mesh network wifi everywhere in house & in the garden too. Costs a bit more but woryh it IMO.

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It was for my internet and TV account. I've managed to do it on my housemates app as they had no issues with the app.

  • billgibbon Bill Gibbon (@billgibbon) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your continued support. All’s clear today - and your colleague on the phone said they would monitor the situation and let us know if anything needed to be done. Lots of examples of this happening online. Putting it down to just being another victim.

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It's always 47.37 when it should be a straight £47. We do everything online and never get paper stuff to do with our package or billing

  • Adam_baker1490 Adam Baker (@Adam_baker1490) reported from South Shields, England

Virgin Media Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • hhukradio Travel Adam (@hhukradio) reported

    @virginmedia trying to call you for the past THREE DAYS to cancel my contract at end of term. Now your team say that I need to give 30 days notice (which I was doing but you didn't answer the phone). Really upset about this treatment after 7 years of service with you.

  • clairem70748403 claire mcguire (@clairem70748403) reported

    @virginmedia @DaddyBlackery My phone saying no service

  • HorriblyR Horribly Lit (@HorriblyR) reported

    Uni: so... we need evidence your wifi has been an issue this whole time. ... Have you not had the *honour* of dealing with Virgin Media?! Also, why would I go to the effort of lying? Either way, my landlord is sending uni a letter to back me up 🙃

  • Lydia_evans_98 lydia beauty&fitness (@Lydia_evans_98) reported

    @virginmedia Your customer service is appalling. I've had problem after problem since joining in march your customer service is awful, looking at all these unhappy customers makes me realise I'm not the only one. Im completely shocked at how bad your customer care has been

  • WrenJohn John Wren (@WrenJohn) reported from Oldham, England

    @virginmedia Beyond belief since the link provided doesn’t work. I’m sorry but @virginmedia is a failing company with poor technology. I could never recommend them to anyone, Hub 4 failed again today, so unreliable it’s a joke

  • mactheminion Mac the Minion (@mactheminion) reported

    @virginmedia At the moment everything seems fine. However at the time of my first tweet it was 5GB down and .05GB up And then when I try to stream on Twitch using OBS I can’t keep a stable connection. It isn’t something on twitch’s end or OBS as I have already checked them out

  • CraigF224 Craig Ferguson (@CraigF224) reported

    @virginmedia Hey there, I have been waiting on a response via your online chat since 8:30 this AM, any chance of getting any support? Not an ideal way to start as a new customer to VirginMedia.

  • HelsS76 Helen (@HelsS76) reported

    @SulakshanaMD @virginmedia I’ve also had 3 calls asking about my router and error messages it’s sending to @virginmedia. Told them I would call back later as I was working (using my mobile hotspot as the internet is down again 🙄) and they put the phone down on me each time!

  • audreyawhite Audrey W (@audreyawhite) reported

    .@virginmedia - you've just dropped my call TWICE after waiting on hold for an hour. and there's no way to take action online. please help. this is unacceptable.

  • sa_unknown01 /// (@sa_unknown01) reported
