    @virginmedia been without any form of data, email , Whatsapp, calls from 11am with #virginmobile looks like it’s UK wide ! Dreadful service. Just catching up on emails now in a local pub!! Awful communication by a company that claims to be so good at it.

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @markcatchlove @virginmedia Very much doubt it Mark; like I say- they have the market sewn up so can treat their existing customers with contempt.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Paulhut20013625 Hutchy (@Paulhut20013625) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @bt_uk why has my internet speed slowed down just as we @virginmedia digging up the street 🤔

  • 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.

  • stephwales_ S t e p h . ♡ (@stephwales_) reported from Gateshead, England

    So annoying everything been off since around 11 this morning & now they’ve just updated service status that’s it’s going to be tomorrow at 6pm it’s fixed, that’s a big change from 6pm tonight!!! Bet I still get charged full price for a service that isn’t working. @virginmedia

  • ll370 IanBurns (@ll370) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia 2 weeks back with you and my signal keeps dropping almost every single day, best internet provider. I think I have grounds to terminate my contract. What a joke

  • hellsbells610 Hells Bells 🐧 (@hellsbells610) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your reply. I think there have been a few problems around where I live, but it seems to be ok now.

  • Janthebestmam Janice (@Janthebestmam) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia kept changing my password then said if phone they charge me . My son has same problem but send emails on phone through gooogle

  • gordysocceruk gordon (@gordysocceruk) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia How long is this outage going to last been off for neatly 4 hours.

  • hellsbells610 Hells Bells 🐧 (@hellsbells610) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia are there issues in the Gateshead area. Broadband keeps on going down. Tried turning hub off/on, but not helping.

  • mickeywhizz Michael Taylor (@mickeywhizz) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia just had a very frustrating afternoon with your call centre trying to dump our landline which we never use. After 13 years as a customer it is particularly galling to then see on the comparison sites how much more you value new customers.

  • awpeacock Al Peacock (@awpeacock) reported

    @virginmedia Trust me, we will be complaining in every way possible. Especially now I've just spoken to the council and you promised them you'd be out to fix it within four hours yesterday. Still no sign today though... They cannot finish their job until you complete your work.

  • markrmifsud markrmifsud (@markrmifsud) reported

    @virginmedia @halligan_joe Mine has been off since last night circa 20:30 and eta for fix still says 16:00

  • cheeeztoast Pluto is a planet (@cheeeztoast) reported

    @virginmedia broadband is down in the KY11 area and you're really cheeky charging for technician visits when this is a you problem

  • DollyRoche 𝙳𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚢𝚁𝚘𝚌𝚑𝚎🍑🟥⚤ #DisabledNotDisposable (@DollyRoche) reported

    @virginmedia whys your Internet down🙄 no warning of maintenance, can't access your website/my account, I want money back for the downdays

  • ephemerasattic Ephemerasattic 😷🇪🇺#FBPE (@ephemerasattic) reported

    @virginmedia So I’ve been sold a SIM that won’t work in my sons iPad and still no broadband! Do the decent thing @virginmedia and supply a mobile hub for my son until you fix the broadband. It’s the very least you can do.

  • markswift1 mark swift (@markswift1) reported

    @virginmedia Nothing,Most neighbours are down too,ill try later...Thx

  • norton_cettina Cettina norton (@norton_cettina) reported

    @virginmedia well your what's app is pretty useless I get connected to someone she says she's going to help me and suddenly goes dead and I hear nothing from her. You chase us if we don't answer you straight away or cut us off

  • Jacsiss Jaclyn I❤️ 🇺🇦 Respect to The Queen (@Jacsiss) reported

    @virginmedia Good morning, we have an engineer coming out this morning. The router is the problem, it keeps deciding to update or something silly. All day again from about 10 yesterday! I have checked everything, not my first rodeo. Thanks.

  • crimjnalminds nadia (@crimjnalminds) reported

    @virginmedia I need help signing into my emails, keeps saying password not recognised when it’s the right one

  • ephemerasattic Ephemerasattic 😷🇪🇺#FBPE (@ephemerasattic) reported

    @virginmedia I am not ringing again to be disconnected after 40 mins or using WhatsApp as it is just fobbing me off! I am wasting time and money and not getting the service you promised. Does 25 years of loyalty mean nothing!
