  • vitosauras 🦦 Helen (@vitosauras) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia It's not a problem at my end, and it's not just me affected. Have you really not noticed a flurry of people saying the same thing? I know people in different areas of the UK who have the same problems at the same times.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Lots of people are complaining about this on the customer forums. We've had very little downtime since the separate router was connected, it's suddenly gone to pot and seems to be a general issue at the moment.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia The Hub is in modem mode connected to a separate wireless router as the Hub's WiFi has been poor since we got it, so technically it's a wired connection. Router's connection is lost when it drops so no devices can connect wirelessly. Has been stable for about 3 hours now.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia No, service page still says all services are fine but my landline still not working.

  • dowlo100 Dowlo (@dowlo100) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia my elderly mother has been trying to contact you for over 3 weeks now to cancel her sub as it has gone up £60 pm. She has been out on hold numerous times and cut off no help on chat etc. her only option now is to cancel the DD as she can’t afford this anymore… help

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia I’m signed in but I see no option to test the landline. I clicked on ‘fix landline’ but that just sent me back to the main menu page.

  • Stevedey Steve Dey (@Stevedey) reported from Newburn, England

    @GingesLife @virginmedia Honestly mate it’s a joke! Just paid the bill yesterday and now the cheeky buggers can’t even provide the service they charge us so much for.

  • PatternThimble 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.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @VMHelpDesk Internet connection is intermittent in NE34, has been since at least Saturday. Connection drops at random. Have just restarted router again as I'm working from home & need to be online, no idea how long this will last. Not the only one having issues.

  • purplelime Sam (@purplelime) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia can you let me know if are there any problems with landline in the NE34 area? Can’t make or receive calls, not sure how long it’s been this way. Your status page says all services are fine. Thanks.

  • UnicornRunning Paul Jukes A874036 (@UnicornRunning) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia Nothing reported when I checked before tweeting. Seems to have stabilised for now but must've dropped 15-20 times in the last 48h. No faults were reported on the site when my father-in-law had a complete loss of service a couple of months ago, but it was reported on the helpline.

  • helen_helen2662 Helen (@helen_helen2662) reported

    @virginmedia has had 30 hours to repair a fault but “they know what is causing it” no service for 35 hours how long we would be waiting if they didn’t know ! Oh & the 4th change of time has now moved to ASAP -don’ call the help desk after 30 mins they will cut you off

  • Walking88814482 Walkingman (@Walking88814482) reported

    @virginmedia I need to report a TV issue, have tried online but your Recapture page isn't working, can you help? I really need to speak to a human.

  • ChrisA Chris Adams (@ChrisA) reported

    I know it's a cliche to moan about customer service on here but OH MY GOD @virginmedia. I'm convinced they have just entirely scrapped their customer support team. When their service breaks, there is just either radio silence or stock replies.

  • ianhensh Ian Henshall (@ianhensh) reported

    @virginmedia how can I tell you I’m moving home. Hour long wait on phones, chat bot that goes round in circles and moving home web link in your site is broken. Do I just cancel payment and wait for you to contact me?!!

  • Kanellaandco Kanella&Co (@Kanellaandco) reported

    @virginmedia a total and absolutely disgraceful service, no Internet for 2 days now... No help, no voices to advise... Times getting continually put back, a father who relies on the service for communication and mental wellbeing.. To say I'm angry is an understatement, disgrace.

  • stevecs79 steve (@stevecs79) reported

    When did the service with @virginmedia get so bad? Reliabilty issues, advisors who lie, false promises and unresolved issues. They were top for me at one time.

  • MissStefC Stefanie Chew (@MissStefC) reported

    @virginmedia Hi, I've been on a UK contract with you but I am now living in Canada and need to cancel. I can't text you or call you to cancel because I can't make calls/txt here. How do I cancel my contract? Thank you for your help.

  • fifalafel Jahar (@fifalafel) reported

    @mark3man @virginmedia Likewise in SE19 and still not working!!!

  • xAfterPartyo Jonny (@xAfterPartyo) reported

    @virginhelp @virginmedia our wifi keeps disconnecting everyday for the past 6 months. We have had at least 7 engineers out and they just change a few settings on the hub and say to monitor it. Nothing is getting resolved. I pay £138 per month. please i need some help.

  • Curtis__Hughes Mr Hughes 🇺🇸 (@Curtis__Hughes) reported
