    @virginmedia Please help me with this. I tried webchat on your ‘help’ site but didn’t get a reply. I’d written out the whole issue. Everything is always so hard with you guys 😢😤

  • Dancoat1982 Dan Coates (@Dancoat1982) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia WiFi in #ne5 been awful for a few days, are there known issues in this area????

  • stevemhh Steve Mayne (@stevemhh) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia Nice adverts for your content, shame my recorded delivery complaint about my issue originating in MARCH (after three failed online submissions and pointless texts) has still not been acknowledged,been ignored,treating a customer as a piece of 💩 way to go 👏🏻

  • L88HRS Lee (@L88HRS) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @virginmedia are there network issues in NE29? My wired connections are working fine but WiFi is having none of it on any of our devices!

  • GraemeBell_NUFC Graeme Bell (@GraemeBell_NUFC) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia Can I speak to an understanding and reasonable human please? Or do they not exist in your company? I’ve had nothing but trouble from day one and the customer service has been woeful

  • HBP_Surgery_CHS Ben Banerjee (@HBP_Surgery_CHS) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Never ceases to amaze how poor @virginmedia is. Successive errors including appalling dropping out broadband. Now transferring to BT today and they stop internet last night despite specifically saying I wanted no gap in service. Glad to leave after 23 years.

  • fionajohnson__ fiona johnson (@fionajohnson__) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @virginmedia wifi down in NE2 area????

  • VictoriaBarry82 Vicki barry (@VictoriaBarry82) reported from Sunderland, England

    @virginmedia can someone help with getting a broadband booster

  • AdamOnCaffeine Chilli Vanilli (@AdamOnCaffeine) reported from South Shields, England

    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.

  • jonlane86 Jon Lane 🌈 ✊🏿 (@jonlane86) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    Wondering if @virginmedia can explain the service outage I've had in NE21 for the last 3 hours? Having to watch #NFLRedZone on my phone

  • Deggsytweets Deggsy™ (@Deggsytweets) reported from Sunderland, England

    Anyone else in Sunderland having intermittent problems with @virginmedia broadband? It’s been up & down for ages but it’s getting worse!!

    @virginmedia hi... So haven't been able to get through on phone for MONTHS. your website self serve is permanently down, and now your Twitter and text aren't replying. How do we undo the last 3 months and get me where I should be?

  • Dancoat1982 Dan Coates (@Dancoat1982) reported from Newburn, England

    @virginmedia Thanks for your response, still the same issues I’ve ran the test and it says good response but connection very intermittent on TV and almost non existent on all family devices. Very frustrating

  • jameshedges4 James Robert Hedges (@jameshedges4) reported from Walker Gate, England

    Have a mountain of work to do and need to be online to do all of it. What a surprise, @virginmedia is down again. What a waste of money

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Done that.. hence why calling - your website is crap

  • samiq Gilbert Corrales (@samiq) reported from Gateshead, England

    @virginmedia hey guys is internet down in Gateshead? Lost connection now foe 30min and rebooting the router doesn’t work

  • ruthemmj Ruth Bennett (@ruthemmj) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @virginmedia Other than checking the plugs and the cable connections - your light indication service doesn’t work.. it made me run and run and run diagnostics and engineers in 3/4 days isn’t good enough - still didn’t repost any fault even saying the internet wasn’t working.. RUBBISH

  • paddyrat Paddy R (@paddyrat) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @nowtgoodtosay @virginmedia And every bad experience you have, they make sure the next one is worse. Like a competition!

  • paulbanks60 Paul Banks - Tenor 🎶🇪🇺 (@paulbanks60) reported from South Shields, England
