  • justraffers helen rafferty 🌹 (@justraffers) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia every month I have the same issue. Go to pay bill and despite having Google auto password (which works on every other thing I log in) it says my log in is wrong and I have to reset it EVERY MONTH!! EVERY MONTH!! IT'S RIDICULOUS

  • Marilyn_huartt Marilyn malibu (@Marilyn_huartt) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Can’t answer calls ems bouncing back. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just take everyone’s sports package off. Paying £125 per month at this my point my other half is ready to cancel everything when we can.

  • Staigmeister Lynsey (@Staigmeister) reported from Newburn, England

    @spookysquidd @virginmedia Do let me know how your customer experience is when the shit hits the fan for you... when you have been a loyal customer for 14 years! 🙌🏼

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia what has happened with the service in ne33 4hn area as I have no phone line no internet and no tv service

  • dodgestweet Matt Dodge Donnelly (@dodgestweet) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Hi I text two evenings ago when you told me too, and then received a very generic response about upgrading my package online. I have since text again to say that the problem is with the increase and that I may need to cancel but nothing back yet. Over 6 hours on hold now to you!

  • goneinsixtysecs Simon (@goneinsixtysecs) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia three times since I first reported that I was having problems with all my services and it has gone down again

  • malandbren75 Malcolm Hodgson (@malandbren75) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia emails are not working the solution by Virgin is to log into My virgin media can you tell me how to do this when it is not recognising my log in and your call centres are all closed

  • TonyYoull TY I 92 (@TonyYoull) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    Shouting at Virgin Media on the internet work fix the problem. Pass it on

  • dannyrobbo82 Danny Robinson (@dannyrobbo82) reported from Wallsend, England

    @virginmedia understand that like every other business that you’re short staffed with the pandemic, but the speed of internet recently has been shocking. Website is useless, community help is useless. Don’t want to ring up, yet they’re happy to still take my money every month.

  • MatthewEmmer Matthew Emmerson (@MatthewEmmer) reported from Gateshead, England

    Can’t continue to work remotely from for the NHS if this #virginmedia issue is on-going 😭

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RebeccastarrO OnlyFans ✨ Thatblondeprincess (@RebeccastarrO) reported

    @virginmedia My Internet is COMPLETELY down for the 4th time in a month. OL16 area. Your service is worse than bloody talk talks. Internet speeds are also going downhill lately. ******* disgraceful company. I've no idea how you can take hardworking peoples money for such a shoddy service.

  • Maria_Wilder Miss Wilder (@Maria_Wilder) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    @virginmedia I did. 3 calls to be precise. There seems to be a tech issue on your end which keeps hanging up on callers....I can't afford to lose any more hours, so I've resorted to writing a letter instead. Thanks.

  • ianrmal ian64 (@ianrmal) reported

    @novahob @davidball74 @virginmedia Same here in all the years I've been with VM I've only had 2 major problems and my download speeds have always been near and more often more than I pay for

  • Ellpeegram Michael Phillips (@Ellpeegram) reported

    @virginmedia Can’t login to my online account, won’t recognise my username or password. I’d appreciate if someone called me. THIS IS MORE THAN FRUSTRATING, haven’t had a functioning line/network since Thursday, I’ve spent £35 calling that expensive number from other lines

  • vkhokhrai Vin Khokhrai (@vkhokhrai) reported

    @virginmedia My network keeps dropping. My boosters dont seem to be doing much. Im getting like 5mbps speeds when running the tests where i am located. I keep getting disconnected from my main wifi ssid and it keeps connecting me to guest. 1/2

  • Ellpeegram Michael Phillips (@Ellpeegram) reported

    @virginmedia You have not been able to help me in anyway. THE ONLINE ACCOUNT LOGIN & CREATION user journey IS ASKING FOR AREA NUMBER AND I DOnt KNOW WHAT THAT IS, I’m a mobile customer, not home phone. This is terrible service from @virginmedia

  • chloelizbailey chloe bailey (@chloelizbailey) reported

    @virginmedia So an issue has been logged now. It’s saying fix at 9:30pm. How do I claim compensation? As this is down I will have to use my phone as a hot spot which is very costly. I have a wired connection with Virgin so expect my internet to be running at all times

  • granitetsc Tim Clark (@granitetsc) reported

    @virginmedia There’s apparently an issue with broadband in KT20 - However, I can’t seem to register the loss of service or get the status updates to my phone via the site - can you help with that ?

  • _SteveBotham ⭐️Steve Botham (@_SteveBotham) reported

    @virginmedia Sorry about this. I am slowed down as I have found that Sky owns Now and Now advertises during the Farage show on GB News. I cannot use a firm which directly supports arguments against the RNLI and by implication supports the drowning of refugees.

  • laverpau Paul Laver (@laverpau) reported

    @virginmedia total outage in AL5, was this planned, nice of you to let us know?
