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

@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 your call centre is an absolute joke. No one deals with problems and just transfers to a different department who hang up

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 You offer the same package to new customers at nearly £20 cheaper so it isn't the lowest price possible, is it? Spoke 18 months ago about signal. Was told it would be looked at if I agreed to renew. Once renewed was told WiFi is not guaranteed so tough.

@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.

@bt_uk you have 45 mins to meet the 10-12 appointment. That I took the day off for. Defo looks like I'm going to be a @virginmedia customer soon.

@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.

@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 The signal struggles to get to each room in the house. My son complains as he games. No chance of streaming music in the bathroom. It isn't a big house either. The deal I'm on currently was negotiated when I spoke to disconnection team rather than intro offer.

@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 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 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 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.

@virginmedia All channels and the Internet connection via the hub too - the problem is external, it happens regularly and you've failed repeatedly to diagnose it. Running a regular ping to 8.8.8.8 is laughable when it's at its worst. You have a system issue.

@virginmedia It’s hardly important now & it isnt the money thats my issue tho it should have been refunded to my bank acc. right off. I appreciate it isnt your fault but it says nothing for your customer service when 3 people said it wouldnt be taken. They were all lovely but the system isn’t

@virginmedia appalling service for several months now. Netflix is part of our package but we’ve not had it for over 4 months now. Constantly just fobbed off with it’s an IT issue!! Disgusting!

@virginmedia I want you to provide me with this promo code I need to access the £180 cashback deal on your “recycle my phone” webpage – IF I was not clear enough already. Hope you do the right thing! I have never received such poor customer service in all my life! @LutzSchueler

@virginmedia For next Thursday. That's not good enough. I recently upgraded as well. I don't see what a technician is going to do, it's clearly an area fault based on all the issues I am seeing online. I just want somebody to admit that
