@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 @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 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 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 why is your self service so poor please. Unable to resolve the fault that I have on my service for 2 days now. No one to speak to and the website is abhorrent in terms of customer experience and engagement. Endless loop of bad requests within the servers you use too

@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.

Quick PSA to never use @virginmedia for anything. They sold me a broadband package back tail end of last year and told me it would be cheaper to also take an O2 Sim card. They then informed me they couldn't provide the broadband services they had promised so couldn't go ahead

@virginmedia There’s no issues that come up when I checked on the site but my internet connection has been poor and going off for around 5 days. Sometimes for extended periods. What is happening? When will it be consistently working? Are paying for it but it’s not been working.

@virginmedia Yes and I have been on the phone who after 20 minutes got it back up and it's gone again now. The whole of your area 31 is affected just look on Facebook hundreds complaining of the rubbish service.
