Time for the @virginmedia renewal. They want to hike the price. We want a new reliable WiFi box which they promised but didn't deliver last time. To be honest @BT is looking attractive as they may improve the signal around the house.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@virginmedia I didn’t get the opportunity to call yesterday, but I noticed last night that it’s working again. There was nothing mentioned on service page (not unusual) but there must’ve been a fault that was eventually fixed.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@virginmedia It would be a good start if I could actually get through to your customer service. I have already been on the forums to research the problem but if you're telling me this is basically your online customer service, then I will raise the issue there. It shouldn't be this difficult.

Why are @virginmedia customer service so poor, pandemic or no pandemic Partner was trying to get through for 3 hours earlier on the online-chat and still no resolution

@siraj2284 @virginmedia Exactly. Problem is with consumer based connection they have i believe a 72 hour SLA as opposed to the business connection which has a 24 hour SLA. This is so frustrating given I work from home. Then their business packages top speeds are really slow and more expensive!

@virginmedia the irony that today one of your customer support team told me they couldn’t put me through to a manager because they are WFH. I asked who their broadband was with, it wasn’t @virginmedia speaks volumes!

@virginmedia I have checked service status and there is a fault. The problem is it taking 2 days to resolve when I rely heavily on my internet connection to be able to do my job. As a new customer I'm not impressed.

@virginmedia, I'm trying to report a fault on my dad's TV service. The online help, after the troubleshooting steps, tells me to ring up. I've been on hold for 44 minutes so far. Do you know the current wait time please? I rang last night at 20:25 but it didn't get answered.
