    Can anyone at @virginmedia virgin media tell me why the internet drops out every time it rains? The technicians only want to diagnose a fault on the line to the house and they never seem to be out when it's also raining. It's very frustrating.

    If people get the chance to "upgrade" their @virginmedia router to the Hub 5, DONT BOTHER. had nothing but issues since and have a feeling its not compatible with some range extenders. Call to them at some point to get something sorted

    @virginmedia after 10 yrs we part ways as apparently a new customer is more valuable than a loyal one 🤔 I'm sure there is some business sense in there somewhere but we move on.

    @virginmedia Hi there, I have a V6 box. There’s no pattern as to when it crashes - it has happened at various times throughout the past week. The picture freezes, then ‘no signal’ appears and when it finally comes back, we have to wait a good 10 minutes for it to restart 😕

  • kay_sldm
    Kay 🔴👹‼️ (@kay_sldm) reported

    @virginmedia are not a serious company. It’s been almost a week now in which my internet has been messing about and they still haven’t rectified the issue. My router has rebooted over 400 times since last Thursday now and they’re telling me service is down in my area.
