@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 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 Yes, it’s the email address that Virgin gave them for setting up the o2 mobile account. I spoke to o2 this morning and they’re having trouble changing it or even sending a text to us for security purposes to the number we are porting because that is now inactive.

@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 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

@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 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 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.

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 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.

Hello @BarclaysUK, phoned you for ten successive days and it’s an hour long queue, been into branch, you can’t sort the issue, tried chat via the app, you don’t talk mortgages on the app. You are beginning to reach peak Virgin Media for incompetence, I’m sorry, this is appalling.

@virginmedia Any idea when my service will be back? Hub is flashing green. I'm working from home so need it urgently.

@markcatchlove @virginmedia Pleased it’s not just me Mark. It really pee’s me off the contempt with which they treat their existing, loyal customers, some of whom have remained loyal since the days when they were Telewest. #newcustomersonly

@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 don't have access to the online account but this problem has only appeared since Monday. It's not giving me an error message; the connection just times out.

(@badassscotsman) reported
@virginmedia No because I don't see why I have to pay for something that is not my problem. I got a new modem because they said the old one would be the problem. Now I have the new one the signal is still poor for 200mb. Still have the same problem as before.

@DavidJ_GB @iphigenie @CWUnews Ah right. The superhub isn't the customer's equipment. It's owned by Virginmedia. They can do as they please. Changing the service on the public wlan doesn't affect the end customer. They made the change to turn the public wlan on without saying anything.

@virginmedia I also find that Twitter is slow and YouTube stops a lot but my site just won't load at all.

@virginmedia you are a complete disgrace. We had no correspondence about this new contract. You refuse to cancel because you "can't" preying off the vulnerable because they have no instant support in the pandemic. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Absolutely livid with you.

@virginmedia Hard wired also. Initially I thought it was the WIFI so I reverted to plugging the ethernet cable directly into the device. Still have the same issues!
